Most Lame Excuse for PvP

[Caramia]

What do you think is the most lame excuse used to commit PvP?

[Artha]

Insulted my other character.

[StrayRogue]

You're a darkie.

[GarrsSoul]

yup, insulted my other character sounds like the worst excuse to me.

[theotherjohn]

because the person is stupid is a great reason not a lame reason

Define PvP.

A CHARACTER may react violently to insults, casting, someone doing something to another, etc.

There's a huge difference between CvC and PvP. So again, define your meaning.

[Caramia]

PvP by Simutronics policy is defined as (nice to see they clarified it!):

What is not acceptable is to initiate combat against unsuspecting victims, especially to prey upon weaker players for the singular enjoyment of the attacker. As a rule of thumb, Character vs. Character (role-playing -CvC) combat is acceptable, while Player vs. Player (OOC or disruptive - PvP) is not.

There's more about the gray areas of what constitutes PvP versus CvC, so if you need more than the above, go read it in the game.

Insults of anyone as a reason are lame. All that does is show people that you are easy to annoy, quick to get your buttons pushed, and weak attempts to stop them through death only creates an endless cycle of attention-getting that eventually becomes disruptive (and gets the GMs attention), or you ask for help resolving it (which still gets the GMs involved).

Casting an offensive spell at someone (count bind, sleep etc.. ) is an open invite. I won't vote for that.

The severity of insults usually defines the severity of retaliation. I won't vote for those.

Insulting my other character. Never happen because there may be 2 people that play GS that can connect any of my characters. That could get my vote though.

It's a tie between annoying and stupid. I would have been banned years ago were any of those acceptable by the playing populace.

Honestly, the most idiotic one to me is "because I can". Some people in the game have major superiority complexes, and the trains rush straight to their head. I'm 100 trains older than you, what are you gonna do about it is something that pisses me off to no ends. If I had a silver for everytime I've seen that scenario in game, I'd be rich. I'd willing trade those silvers to stick it to those fucking bullies. Just once......

I'm glad I am finally learning to use my backbone with some folk. Standing up to those who normally push you around definately changes things. But just because I can doesn't mean I go out and kick some little kid's ass. Takes the better person to sit down and not settle things with a sword.

I find the best way to initiate PVP is to look at their race and say something mean. Doesn't work so much if they're Giants, as I am too. Works all too well with dirt elves.

hmm....perhaps I answered the question wrong.
