Quick and Dirty IN game Rules guide

other pw wrote:PvP (including Pick-Pocketing) is by mutual consent only. PvP should only be done for good RP reason as well. Note: being evil is NOT good RP reason to go around killing PCs! Don't forget that losing a fight can be just as good RP (sometimes better) than winning one. If you don't want to PvP, that is perfectly acceptable.

Before engaging in PvP you must send an OOC tell to any player(s) involved and set them to hostile with the Player List Like/Dislike button.

If you have initiated a conflict and your opponent doesn't want PvP, allow them every RP opportunity to back down and get out of a fight -- do not keep after someone who doesn't want to fight. Do not attempt to provoke an attack of opportunity by use of the Taunt ability, casting a spell or any other means.

If another player has initiated a conflict against you and you don't want to participate, you must then back down -- do not sit there verbally harassing your antagonist because you know they can't hit you without consent

Any consequences of PvP must be agreed upon by those players involved.

Griefing:

repeated killing/attacking of PCs without following PvP consent rules.

Obviously we can just copy another PW's rules, but we still need set rules of some sort and a way of viewing them IG, so we can quickly end debates if we end up butting heads IG. A big 'DA RULEZ' book of some sort, or widget that brings up a conversation, or a list of the major rules in the journal under completed quests or the like.

Maybe things like:

Rules for:

PvP (How much OOC consent is needed, warning given, right to back out, time before returning to the area again so on)
Pickpocketing (Size, price, how many at a time, consent)
Permadeath
Langauge (Eg, certain swear words)
Item restrictions
Metagaming (What counts as Metagaming)
Adult content (We seem to have an agreement on the 'PG Rating- keep all else in tells')
Leveling (Any builds restricted? Some servers have it so that you must have at least 5 levels in a taken class to prevent people from taking a single level purely for a feat or skills)
Restriction on how many 'non-standard' characters you create (not have, as characters sometimes change, such as in the cases of lycanthropy, vampirism, certain events), to prevent the world being filled with 'rare' races.
