Avendell rules are BS

Terminal Insanity · Post by **Terminal Insanity** » Tue Nov 30, 2004 2:26 pm

If im attacked, i WILL defend myself.

If a DM is planning on punishing me for not dieing, then i'll just kill whatever attacked me and log out.

You want to RP, then RP it properly.
"whoever causes a disturbance" well i dident cause it. The guards did. im SICK of the bullshit. I have been PKed in avendell FAR too many times and nothing is EVER done.
I kill a guard thats attacking me and i get slayed and loose XP

i get killed, harassed, attacked, harassed some more, killed again, harassed even more, and more... PKed yet again, and again, and again, and avendell respawn camped/PKed, respawn attacked again, and even grief stoned.
Nothing is ever done to these people... but god forbid i defend myself against a NPC guard! oh no! dont you dare defend yourself against a guard!

Well I can see the joy in that post. All that and you still go back for more?
Sorry couldn't resist.

Avendell is a peaceful community. Travelers who wish to instigate trouble will face a possible consequence if it catches a God's attention. Everyone has the right to defend themselves but in Avendell usually a God will squish the trouble regardless of how it got started or depending on how much the God witnessed(might have missed the first piece of the action).

Perhaps we can see if the devs can script in something for this area to handle any hostility.

To add a little snippet of nastiness to this already angsty description of death and lack of retribution in Avendell, I personally think some of the powers that be give Term a little more crap than they give anyone else. Maybe this will change now that we have e few new DM's on the case, maybe not.

Also, if Ave is a Peacefull community, why to the DM's allow/ partake in camping outside the gates with known lowbie pkers/harassers, i.e. the Slaves. Apparently curse songing someone 12 times in one gaming session and pking them 4 times doesn't count as harassment, but killing NPC guards does . . . .

Just some things to consider in revision of Avendell rules/scripts for area.

sometimes you ask for it nom. I remember once you put me on counterspell in avendell for no apparent reason. that i think is enough to attack someone. I didnt, but theres probably more to this story than what nom is leading on.

Good call, Lework, I am aware that there is likely to be more at work here than the prima facie stuff, but my main point is that the rules are rather arbitrarily enforced, and the spirit of the rules is often broken by others with DM's present without subsequnet retribution.

the arbitrariness is why I have yet to be back here gaming.

If the rules apply, they apply to everyone.

Gotta catch up on what I said I'd do before I got sidetracked on stuff like this and mopping the drool up

Maybe this guy should handle the DMing

I have to say it's getting a little tiresome watching players attacking each other in Avendell when it is strictly a NO PVP area.

It's obvious that whilst Nomius is targetted by other players one wonders why he is attacking townfolk.

I was under the impression that DM's and/or developers were looking at the hostility ratings for avendell watch and townfolk so that they always remained neutral unless attacked.

I guess Nomius has a reputation that precedes him and not knowing any of the players in those screen dumps I can't say whether he deserves the attention or not. What I do know is it has to stop. Either DM intervention is required to assist Nomius with the guards attacking him (if he hasn't provoked them, obviously) or those other players in the screen dumps and or nomius should be banned.

Well that's one chip gone

Yes, i remember that
it was because i was just PKed twice in avendell by a bunch of mages, so i just sat outside the inn countering any mage near me untill i could get a DM (never happened)

No, i've actualy decided i'm not playing any more ns (or nwn for that matter) for a while...

And again, i dident instigate anything, the guard did.

why hasnt it occured to the Devs to set avendale as No PvP so people cant fight at all? it would save alot of trouble.

then again ive seen time and time again that this place lacks common sense more than anything.

Post by **Lokey** » Wed Dec 01, 2004 5:30 pm

Because flagging an area no PvP doesn't work the way you think, LM. Exploits, gotta love them.

Glad to see the thread is pointless now, time to find more stuff on U3
