I think that if a person is 'open', they should not be able to avoid drags. For instance, if a person is stunned and they are 'open', i think that they should not have such a fail proof safety net to protect them from being dragged through moongates.

I disagree.
the only thing that would encourage is griefing someone when they are dead. If they are dead, that's it. You, or someone else has managed to turn them into a corpse. That's sufficient.
We all play this game to have fun, open, guarded or closed. playing to grief others isn't RP.

I don't see it as any different than people who go around and kill people who are open just because they are open. I see this happen all the time. I don't like it, but that's a consequence of being open. The amount of grief that a person is willing to accept is dictated by their stance (open, guarded, or closed).

To an extent it is a stat contest AFAIK, although it could simply be a STR v the weight of the target check.

I think you misinterpret the intent of PVP Open - it means the player is willing to accept the consequences of PVP without GM involvement. The AVOID settings are not linked to PVP stance and rightly so. Just because someone is PVP Open doesn't mean you have carte blanche to grief them, and AVOIDs are specifically there for those who wish to avoid such cheesy tactics as being dragged through moongates and having Empaths join and RP them.

Uhm.... Completely disagree.
This would cause major problems. I consider going Open PvP occasionally once my training is complete and I'd be damned if I'm going to be forced un-draggable so people could grief and send me via gates (not that I'd complain anyway since I can just gate myself back). But wouldn't be fair as a whole to the community just because some players actually deserve being dragged out into the middle of nowhere.

Honestly, I have to disagree. PvP open means you are willing to have a fight with someone if it comes to that in the rp without the GMS getting in the middle of it. ((Like refusing to have a refree when you are playing basketball with another somebody.) So dragging someone JUST because their profile says it's open, isn't rp. It's PvP killing spree because you're open. Which has no rp basis to it. So it's wrong, so avoiding this to the best ability possible, is fair.

No. Open means Open. Period. It does not have to have anything to do with RP. If you want to be all about the RP and not at all about the PvP, then set RP Heavy and PvP Closed, just be sure to never irritate, aggravate, or otherwise do anything annoying or upsetting to or with anyone that might take offense to your words or deeds that could result in a PvP conflict.

4. NONE (Not Really My Thing) - This setting indicates that you do not actively engage in roleplay nor do you wish for others to attempt to roleplay with you. Note that even those with this flag must respect the game environment and attempt to remain in-genre and avoid discussing blatantly out of character references within the game. This setting is appropriate for people who consider themselves casual gamers who just want to log on and play the game, or who are only interested in training and advancement with little to no in-character socialization.

Pretty sure that's PvP Guarded. From what I've heard, nobody uses it because most people just equate it to PvP Closed to avoid debates about how much RP needs to happen before the fight can start.

IMO someone set to RP:None should also be forced to play as PVP:Closed for anyone with an RP setting light or higher. To me it's the same as someone PvP:Closed trying to start fights with people PvP:Open.
If you don't want to put your share of work/commitment into the interaction you shouldn't be given the opportunity to have it in either situation.

I think that being interested in mechanics and pvp, without being much for the 'larping' as people put it, is a valid desire in the game. Not to the point of chatting about the latest sportsteamgame thing, but still, not wanting to really RP much, but enjoying level gaining, moderate interaction, and PVP, is cool.

Never said it wasn't. Just like I think there's nothing wrong with people who only want to RP and never want to PvP.
The issue I see is when people set as PVP:Closed think they should be able to fight PVP:Open people. At the same time, I think it's only fair/reasonable that people who have little/no interest in RP shouldn't have the go-ahead to PVP with someone interested in RP, even if they're PVP open. It's a lopsided give/get situation, just like the former example with the PVP closed guy.

Not really, if the PvP: Open RP: None guy decides to kill the PvP:Open RP:Heavy guy because he "smells" funny is perfectly valid. Most of you LARPers would get upset about it because no RP was established, but it's perfectly within the RP None person's rights and that shouldn't change. By going PvP Open you're Open to PvPing regardless of the reason.

Ok fine, the RP: None can switch to RP: Light and say "he smells" therefor I killed him. Per his profile he's lightly RPing when he wants to. Is that better?

>Except PVP:Open folks tend to bring up time and time again how unfair and rude and wrong and terrible it is when someone PVP:Closed or PVP:Guarded starts with them, even if it doesn't result in PVP.

So unless you assume someone PVP:Open and RP:Heavy select which they are at any given time, RP:Closed should never interact with RP:Heavy, despite both being PVP:Open.

RP Light/Medium is akin to PVP Guarded. None is akin to closed if you want to attempt at some modicum of comparison I suppose, though they're apples and oranges. One is a stance on Player vs Player (PvP) fights, the other would happen to be about Role Playing (RP)
>Should they be forced PVP: Heavy and become obligated to roleplay out a conflict instead of just gun and run, just like we want PVP:Closed/Guarded people to be forced PVP:Open when they start a conflict?
Again, still apples and oranges but sure if an RP: None shoots someone they can be changed to RP: Light? Not sure what that's solving, if a rule was enacted that a RP: None has to actually chose a different RP stance, the next logical choice would be Light since they RP when they want to and it's appeasing the LARPers that a RP: None shot them for no reason, now the RP: Light shot them for smelling.

You're correct. You don't need to roleplay as long as you're not disrupting the roleplay atmosphere of the game. In practice this usually comes off as at least a small amount of roleplaying (anytime your character opens his mouth he's subject to a minimal RP standard) but if you want to just mutely hunt and watch numbers go up then go for it.

You're correct. You don't need to roleplay as long as you're not disrupting the roleplay atmosphere of the game. In practice this usually comes off as at least a small amount of roleplaying (anytime your character opens his mouth he's subject to a minimal RP standard) but if you want to just mutely hunt and watch numbers go up then go for it.

I didn't know AIM still existed until I returned from a 3-4 year hiatus from DR.

Uh, this isn't twitter humor. Chuck Norris jokes were stale in WoW and other MMOs before twitter was even written. Unless you meant the hash tag. And then he could still be confused since I see people doing that on facebook.
FACEBOOK DOES NOT HAVE TRENDING STATUSES PEOPLE.

#ChuckNorris beat up #AlGore and stole your Twitter humor and your internets.
#ChuckNorris LARP's with real swords.
#ChuckNorris is PvP Awesome and RP Beyond You.
To make this thread someone relevant, I always get asked "How do you adjust your armor". Type SHAKE MY (armor) or SHAKE MY PLATE.

Yes, I was referring to the sudden spurt of referential hash tag jokes, not the fact that it was Chuck Norris in that particular instance. Totally a twitter thing.
