I just had this idea..

[Atma]

You know how goto's rule and there's always some lameasses that abuse it in PvP, right? Well I think I got a solution for you. This would take a while to do, though...



1. Take every weapon... yes you read that right, EVERY WEAPON, and add an invisible endcasting effect on it that puts an.. oh, let's say 10 minute spell on the user with no real effects but an unused flag.. let's say #400. Done? Good, now do it to all the attack spells to. Har.

2. Make a spell that calls for a text block that checks for flag 400. If found, casts a spell to instantly kill the user.

3. Make all warp points cast this spell. So if somebody shows up after having been attacked, they die a horrible death.



The fun part is this is pretty customizable. You can change the penalty to whatever you want, you can add it to all safe rooms, ect.



If you're a REALLY cruel bastard, you can change it so instead of insta-killing it permenately adds flag, let's say, 401. And have a check for 401 that instakills. So basically, if you goto in PvP, YOU GET REROLLED. See how many people do it then.



Another viable alternative is to permenately penalize their character. For instance, instead of an instakill, flag them for -50 hp or -1 max damage/-5 alterspelldamage, -10 hp regen, or something. They'll keep their items, but the penalty should discourage them from ever doing it.

That's pretty harsh, but with the right guidelines it sounds like a good option for pvp boards.

[Atma]

How's it harsh? You can customize the penalty completely. You make it just tell the user they're an asshole.

[Panterra X]

it is doable and a good idea if you let people have gotos in pvp

[Atma]

Yes, but there's one nick in the armor. Mystics. You can't really add it to them. I guess you just have to tell them if they wanna activate the penalty on their target they gotta tag them with a golden sickle bs.

ewie, blackened dirk maybe, sickle bleh=P

[Reckless]

Solution is, don't give sys goto's if you want a pure pvp realm :D There is a timer that disallows sys goto's while in pvp anyways. Least for me there is.

[Atma]

Forgive me for coming up with a solution, your tried and true solution of "screw over the non-pvpers on a board with pvp enabled" is getting kind of dull though. I'll be sure to run any other ideas by you first, milord.



Oh, and you're wrong. That "timer" only won't let you warp if combat is engaged by or to you. Unless it's 2 warriors and both could keep exactly up with the other if they run, then that protection means exactly dick. It was not made to stop warping in PvP, it was made to stop combat still being engaged in the halls of the dead.
