DM Rule "re-esclation"

[HobGoblin]

A lot of DM reports recently have been accepted due to people not "re-escalating". My suggestion is to remove "re-escalating". If someone has a reason to shoot someone it should not be limited to 5 minutes.

If you have shot at me or done something at me that is valid escalation and I lost eyes on you of course I'm gonna look around and try to find you, it doesn't matter if it takes 5 minutes or 1 hour, if I find you then I'm gonna take revenge for what you did to me.

I shouldn't have a timer running on my iPhone to see where my re-escalation perms end and just let the RP flow in a natural way after the initial interaction I had with said party.

+1 - I think the only stipulation is making sure you can confirm it is that person, nothing is more annoying than randomly being killed after logging in because "you looked like someone we shot earlier"

If you can confirm 100% without a shadow of a doubt that the target is who you're after, there should really be no reason to re-escalate, people get stabbed or shot on the street for wronging people all the time. Maybe adjust it to be 24-48 hours instead of what the handling staff member(s) deems as enough time to keep the video game aspect in balance.

If you have a reason to shoot you don't need to rescalate, it's like your giving the enemy a chance to ruin your element of suprise plus technically it's kind of ruleplay in between.

I think if you allow people more time to re-escalate.. This will allow the party to confirm the person is who they think it is.

If you had a reason to shoot to begin with then there shouldn't be reescalation

The timer should be defined as "within both parties session of play." meaning for the rest of the time either would be logged on which on this server is an easy 12-hours

This means if beef starts as you log in you have to watch your back for the rest of your session but when you log back in tomorrow its done.

The whole point of the rule is "everyone should know why they are getting shot at." if i fucked someone over earlier that day ill know full well why. submitting re-escalation reports smacks of ruleplaying a lot of the time.

+1 On that note, re-escalation should only be a thing if the beef goes way back too long for it to be memorable, which is barely the case.

I don’t “re-escalate” if the attack makes RP sense, feels like ruleplaying to me. It’s contextual tho.

+1 / -1.

Shooting someone after they shot you shouldn't be limited to 5 mins. It should probably be around an hour or so.

But shooting someone like 5 hours later or days later without reescalation shouldn't be a thing. I don't want to just be standing at HQ or parking etc and just instantly get shot for something I did days before.

this protects people from being hunted.
if i have sufficient reason, can i just snipe someone from afar?
what would constitute as needed proof to confirm the person is the one I am looking for?
A lot of questions and a lot more problems arise and re-escalating rule is needed so people don't driveby people's homes and ratatata all over them because they are standing out and possibly AFK.

It would be a lot more reports and a lot more unhappy people.
If re-escalating rule gets removed it would promote PvP mentality.
These days people think escalating is okay if someone calls you a bad word. That itself is unrealistic but we do not talk about that.

And I believe once we stop making ourselves angry at the slightest convience just so we can tell people to put their hands up, this re-escalation rule will stand.

Ehm this is tricky. Because if I spent RPing looking for the person and preparing to kidnap them it would be just annoying (I hated that back in the day the dm rights were valid only 24 hours). I would rather leave it open like if u spent days planning to kill someone it shouldn’t be a factor if u just see a guy who clapped ur friends and u clap him id have issue w that.
