Vectors RPvP sign up thread!

**MXOMastatec**

plz lets stay on topic otherwise the devs will unsticky this thread (and maybe lock it)...

i went to the other forums but i dont know why we are not using this post as a development thread...

we def need to assign some RPPvP Dev Leads so they can push this initiative into results.

first off the meaning of RPPvP needs to be identitied as well as it's rules of engagement (obvious answer but its necessary so everyone knows exactly what is being done). moreover, the hostilities need to be defined as in who is suppossed to attack who, once that is settled i think we can move on to the next topic to be developed (RPPvP Zones).

So, RPPvP to me is: Role Playing Player vs Player. That means PvP should only be used with an RP theme ( i.e. Zion vs Merv, Cyphs OR Mervs vs. Zion, Mechs ). When in a RPPvP zone you should only attack those you are suppossed to. ( i.e. mervs vs zion total oppossite of Mechs vs zion )

((Did that make sense?))

So what does RPPvP mean to you and would you actually follow the rules of it?

Ah...yes, too right, sorry bout that. I get distracted easily SMILEY

The reason we decided to use the other forums as a development thread (as far as I know) was to minimize the occurence of a) spam, and b) party crashers. I don't care, can talk about it here, just seems like it's lost in the multitudes of posts.

As for a set 'zion vs mervs', or other limited roles...I can see your point that people should be consistent in their rp, but I hope you're not saying that they should limit themselves to the generic stereotypes set by their orgs. That would severely limit their character (not to mention faction) development. Sure, keep it consistent, but let people determine who/what they fight against, based on their own backgrounds. It makes it more fun if we can't just say 'oh, they're zion so of course they will truce with machines and fight mervs'....in an rp sense that would make sense, but there are ways to make exceptions to these 'rules'. Of course the majority will most likely fall into the stereotypes (otherwise they wouldn't be stereotypes), but don't shoehorn them into a rigid definition of what they can & can't do in regards to their rp - there would be no point to having different factions if they were all the same.

But back to the other bit...yeah DE will be hosting an event, most likely next friday (sorry I'm drunk right now -yay- so there are no more details atm). If you want to join in, you're more than welcome to. If we get people who show up specifically to mess it up (again), well, that sucks, but we're trying to take that into account.

If you're interested in coming....well, you can email me in game, or pm me here, or, hell, come to our site and pm me there. I'll be around. Hehe maybe not til after monday though.

when is this all gonna start???/

**PBlade**

This isn't a centrally organized thing, Yasa just started the thread out of consideration, so that everybody could give ideas and feedback. It's up to the individual to make it happen.

I've not started yet, but I probably will be soon. And we'll see where it goes.

**Yasamuu**

check out the link on page 12 to the MxO terminal forums and hit up the player events section there's a couple of threads in there, an event which has taken place and one which is coming..a meeting for Zion and Merovingian operatives.

I believe ShadowGriever of NI has an event which tires into the RPvP catagory, if he hasn't already posted his idea yet. He's still setting up the location, rule set and such so I'm sure it will be on here soon.

For those of you who haven't yet received word, there will be a meeting taking place tonight, 3/23, at 6pm est (3pm pst, 10pm gmt). Dark Evolution has managed to uncover some information that zion might find verrry interesting, and we're willing to share it, in the interests of loosening the choke-hold the toasters have on Megacity. So mervs, zions, jack in at that time and contact someone in Dark Evolution for the whereabouts of this little get-together, and come find out what the machines don't want you to know.

Machines aren't welcome, obviously. Too bad for you. (pssst.....contact Ronin at that time SMILEY

)

(((/ooc - this isn't the boring political discussion it appears to be on the surface. If you come, be prepared for combat, and have some inventory space available. Rules of Engagement - no pills, no boosters, no healing or buffing. No patcher daemons. Rezzers are encouraged, and the few that are set up on site are not to be engaged in combat. Further details will be given at the meeting)))

I am intrigued.
Consider me there.

So there's a meeting between Zion and the exiles which is strictly limited to these organizations. Information will be shared which may be beneficial to those who work against the machines.

However, if anyone from the machines wishes to know the details, we have but to ask Ronin. From this I can only surmise that Ronin is a part of this scheme against the machines, and shouldn't be trusted with any information which could have potentially harmful affects on the organization.

I know Ronin has several Merovingian ties and allies, but when exactly did you cross over into aiding those ties at the expense of your organization?

P.S 18:00 EST is 23:00 GMT.

**Demoana**

Ah....no. No to all of that, because 1) this is set up as rp/pvp and as such, is just a fun way to interact with each other and move our stories along. Ronin isn't 'dealing' with mervs, they received intel from someone else, in an rp fashion. Perhaps I goofed by not putting the /ooc in front of the 'talk to Ronin' bit, but I figured people could figure that out....this is meant for all orgs, ya know? But since a nice healthy dose of pvp is fun, there have to be reasons for it. If you don't like that this was planned between different groups to bring inter-organisational rp into play, why are you even reading this thread? Isn't that what the meetings were all about?

Also, 2) I am right on with the times, since U.S. has done with their dsl bit, and Europe hasn't. Trust me. Europe doesn't change til this Sunday.

You definately have the wrong end of the stick, Ronin are and always will be Machine. This is an event after all and whats the point of an event if absolutely no one knows what is needed of them. To take an example of the last vector event for machines, little point in us removing the commandos and trying for Graner and not having the merv org to protect him.

ps: yep we are still on GMT so 10pm then sunday we go to BST which will restore the 5hour gap with EST

I took it as it read, and that happened to be the wrong way on this occasion. No harm no foul.

If you don't like that this was planned between different groups to bring inter-organisational rp into play...

At no point did I so much as imply that I opposed organizational rp. I was merely questioning the level of involvement of a faction, which has since been cleared up.

...why are you even reading this thread?

Your random hostility is most unwelcome. (It's possible that I'm also taking this the wrong way, if so then again no worries)

Ah of course, my mistake. I had forgotten for a moment that the US went early this year.

I don't wish to get into a public debate over semantics, so if anyone is tempted to chime in with flame (this is Vector, disclaimers such as this are seemingly necessary of late) feel free to PM me, but I implore you to keep it out of this thread.
