Like / dislike

[Razgriz]

Eh well I don't know how it is now, so... It is ok to toggle certain characters to dislike because they did something that my character SAW and considered offensive/bad/evil?

I ask beacuse there was this character that hurted an already injured halfling in GG instead of helping him. I toggled that char to dislike, but now it looks like the owner took it to personal.

I explained the reason to him in a tell, but now I feel that I did something wrong

Edit: This situation was pure RP and there was no pvp between the halfling and the other character.

As the player of the Darvin, the other part of this... Let me tell you one thing buster... What you did was perfectly fine I have absolutely no issue with it, at all. My responces may of been a little snippy due to the fact I was in combat at the time, hard combat. So I didn't have time to type heh. But do not worry about it, I didn't take it OOC and I would of done exactly the same in your position, if I was of an alignment to do so

Hope that clears the air and puts your mind at ease.

Good to know then, lol I was starting to get worried.

The like/dislike button has nothing to do with feelings. It is a mechanical function to allow spells and other hostile actions to occur between PC's when by default they do not.

It is not a declaration that PvP is about to ensue. It is not a 'permission granted to PvP' button. It is not a 'request to PvP' button.

It has absolutely nothing to do with liking the person behind the character, or even if your PC or you actually like the character. You could be best friends in real life, and have a history of fond feelings between the PC's.

But if for some reason you wish to be prepared to engage in combat you should toggle the other character to dislike. Please be certain to read the PvP rules here:frc.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=serverrules&action=display&thread=1278

Some situations where a character may choose to set another to dislike without primarily intending it to be an OOC warning that PvP is a possibility:

1) A wizard or sorcerer 'practicing' a new spell which is AoE or targettable.
2) A barbarian who goes into full on RAGE!
3) A dominated character.
4) One who intends non-violent confrontation, but allows for the possibility of escallation.
5) Anyone in a tournament.

This list is not exhaustive, as anyone with a few minutes to spare could add to it many circumstances which may require resetting the like/dislike toggle.

One should also not read more into the function than given: it is not supposed to be anything other than an OOC mechanic, and to use such information in game is one form of metagame. I absolutely will not tolerate having, "Well, he set me to hostile so I hit him," as an excuse for PvP.

Thanks DM Savoi Faire

I will read the info regarding pvp again so I don't run into some akward situiation now that my character is starting to have potential enemies.

Precisely. The dislike button should be considered ooc always. It's not like your character is taking a "hostile stance" or something like that. As a mage, I often toggle the whole server hostile to allow the mechanics of certain spells to function properly. There's no hate. I'm a lover not a fighter. <3

You can also toggle someone to "dislike" if you distrust them and are "on guard" against them pickpocketing you.

If you "dislike" a pickpocket the DC for them to pickpocket you is 10 points higher.

Pickpocket is normally DC 20.
Pickpocket against hostile targets is DC 30.

The opposed check to notice the pickpocket doesn't change, but the DC for them to actually get something from you does.

Thanks for the advice DM Munroe, I will keep that in mind.
