There was an issue today that got brought up I feel needs clarification on or a rule alteration in terms of self defense in PvP. As of right now I am told that if you use a home or warp to a place in a PvP area, even your own factions that you do not have the right to defend yourself if attacked. I disagree with this policy whole heartedly. If you are in an allied home or warp and someone of the rival faction travels there to attack you while you are there, you should have the ability to defend yourself. Now I would of course never condone being able to /warp or /home with the intent to PvP. But if you are attacked after you should be able to defend yourself. If not this opens the door for a lot of abuse. Anyone with a home in any place in pvp would not be able to warp there without the other faction being able to travel there for a free kill. This also puts a lot of strain on mods and admins as basically after any raid or attack, mods and admins would need to verify who traveled there on foot, or whom had /home'd. I would really like some clarification here and discussion as to why if you use home to an allied nation members house or even your own, that you cannot defend yourself if attacked after by someone else if you did not do so with the intention to PvP. Thanks for any help in this matter.
i agree with what your saying. the only reason i know about this is because i was banned for this when alan raided me most people dont even know about this rule. you should be able to defend yourself to stop you from losing all your stuff. but you sholdnt be able to use this to walk to another town and wait for them to attack you so that you can kill them without having to walk a distance.
Deja'vu You can defend yourself if you warped to the wilderness or an allied town (any warp) before they are being raided/ you know they are about to be raided. Not during or after the raid to attack/defend. If you warp to an enemy town they have all right to kill you as you should not be warping there with out the town staff permission.
See this is the issue, because according to Awasted, you do not have the ability to defend yourself if you warped to an allied or pvp area, and then are attacked after.
I've talked to NMBr2d2 about this, it doesn't really make sense that way. Do not use /home to PvP, if your intentions were not that of PvP then you are fine.
Something posted about that in the wiki would be very geared towards clearing that up I do so believe
I sensed my name! I actually just wanted to see what this was about, and I have said in the past that there are some gray areas that aren't obvious! Thanks for this friend!
I thought I made a thread about this a little while ago. I think that the rule was what Sharqman said, but it might have never been explained officially.
Yeah, I definitely remember something along the lines of you could defend yourself within reason. Just not at towns when using /t spawn
