Remove cap 0 from aggressive and above!
Now, I understand why this might be seen as controversial. Though a discussion feels warranted about this, as many believe that the precedent cap 0 has set as kind of the standard for initial encounters and so on. There's a lack of tension with the lack of risk involved, and if someone can enact a violent situation (by insulting or attacking someone) only to request an aggressive cap 0 right after... it deflates it somewhat, makes attacking 'too easy' because there's nothing to lose?
Fear is good! Both IC and OOC. You should absolutely be afraid of insulting and/or attacking the 220RPL villain of Achyon, rather than relying on the safety net of this unfortunate culture of '(first encounter! cap 0?)'. If they are the one attacking, it's different, but when someone initiates the encounter it should be a minimum of cap 1/danger so there's weight and consequences on loss.
Less of that, please.
Instead, can we have the potential for genuine punishments in genuinely dangerous situations, and moderate/prevent poor kills that do not have much of an impact? Likewise with captures. A faction should have to declare their intent immediately so there is either a follow up or a mercy escape, such as the situation with Aelrin that became a world event.
Changes to the danger system need to be done as followed;
- Min requirement of cap 1. Be it coded in or simply a rule that is heavily enforced.
- Moderation when it comes to certain kills. Someone like Viridian was able to get away with a heavy perm because his death was perceived as poor, there should still be ample backing and so on for the act of murdering a player.
- Less of a 'Safety Net' on Danger settings is something which gives a bit more weight to RPBattles conducted as a danger. Healthy for the game and future encounters.
