Ok just been thinking and wanted to share this...

When I play DAoC I kinda have my own rules when I play and they are:

1: Dont add on Fights
2: Dont add on FG v FG
3: See something unfair e.g: 2 v 1 or generally someone being outnumbered no matter which realm they are in.
4: If an Enemy attacks a player who just finished a fight and is on low HP i'll then join in regardless of which realm they are in.
5: Add on players who add on you, another words KoS (Kill on Site) as they show no respect so why should I in return.
6: Add on FG's when they constantly steam roll you when you havn't even interfered with them in the first place.
7: Anything goes when Relic Raid, re-taking towers or keeps.

The above are just a few rules I try to stick by when I RvR and I'm sure theres more but I cant think of anymore at the moment.

So when you guys RvR do you have your own rules you try to stick by or?
Please keep this post clean as this isn't a flame. Just wondering how others play.

mine are

don't add on decent 1 v 1s

ruin newbs day if they are trying to zerg down soloers

add on every full group fight i see if i am playing stealther, there aren't any decent groups left anyway, just randoms with attitude, they deserve to have their fights ruined (1 or 2 exceptions)

treat people how they treat you, morons who add and zerg for the holy RP deserve to be called plankton.

If someone adds from my own realm on my fight i pull off, let the retards get spanked, only way they will learn that they shouldn't pvp if they cba to get equipped/learn to play properly, Maybe add a /rofl, the PM spam from randomcasterofd00mxxxx is amusing. if anyone adds on my fight from another realm i spank them first, if its a worthy opponent they usually pull off anyway.

respect the few decent players left on the server

Pretty simple rules I play by:

1- The only duel in DAoC is between realm mates, hence the /duel command.
2- No ganking of greys unless they decide to get involved
3- Try and respect true soloers but I have no respect for players who have no respect for others. If I see a soloer add/zerg/gank, they become fair game until the server closes. This goes for cowardly assassins who jump rr1 mages. As such, there's almost no true soloers left as the vast majority zerged their way to rr7+, then decided they were now soloers and grew an attitude to match. There are about 5 players who I will never add on right now, thats about it.
4- So-called duelling-circles are to be zerged into the ground. It's lame-ass care-bear rp pling and it needs to be stopped.
5- FG's are fair game for anyone.
6- (most controversial imo) If i see a realm mate or a group from my realm about to lose a fight, i WILL intervene every time. I cannot as a Hib sit by and watch while enemies gain rp's and get stronger if i can help prevent it.

I will always assist my realm mates if they need help unless they have specifically asked not to be helped AND by not helping them I don't put myself in any extra danger.

1) Make my non-adding standards known in an effort to get as few people as possible trying to interfere in my own fights.

2) Have a good excuse ready when I get caught not playing by my own rules.

3) go to 1)

1) Login
2) Say hello to the cnuts in my guild(Ging, Tog, Manisch etc..)
3) Do my best in whatever grp I am in
4) Add whenever Manisch tells me to
5) Not adding on soloers(except when Mani tells me to as it's a known zerger etc..)
6) Bitch and whine at Tog when we get killed(always his fault, being afk picking his nose and so on)
7) /stats everytime I kill something(got no idea why the fuck I do this! It has become an addiction!)
8) Be nice to everyone(Besides Friky ofc!)
9) Try to have a laugh
10) Logoff

That's pretty much it :D

ps:
It's the 11th commandment anyway. "Thou shalt not Grapple Perly." :fluffle:

Go down faster Perly :(

1: Don't add on fights
2: Don't add on FG fights
3: Never even help if being asked about it when it's a fair 1on1
4: If someone add's on my fight, flame em and back off so he can try kill the enemy on his own
5: Help on 2on1's if its not fair or if being asked for help
6: Don't add back, as revenge doesn't make anything any better. That wouldn't make me a "better" player to revenge add.
7: When in FG; Don't hit on the respected soloers and add on fair 1on1's - Let the group im in do that.

No one seems to under stand point 6. Which makes quite much the whole server gimps anyway. (A few exceptions ofc)

:) to die before Roo is a crime ... :)
if I die before him, i´ll hope the guildmates will call DAOC " CSI TEAM ", cause there must be a crime behind my dead, if that happens

Well said, I'm sorry folks but everyone who has a rule that begins "I don't add unless.." is a complete hypocrite, friends and enemies alike.

If you wanna spread your so called rules then abide them always, you'll only influence players by doing the right thing, not by breaking your rules just because.

There are rules and laws.

I am willing to reset the shitlit each night but certain guilds never want to play fair, they just race for the RPs and I don't mind racing them back.
