Clan Fearghal has a very relaxed PvP policy - very roughly put: you can attack anyone as long as you try to keep it fair and aren't disrupting RP. That Clan Fearghal is heavily focused towards rp, is no surprize to anyone. But that doesn't mean we don't like our OOC pvp. I think it would be fair to write down some rules that we follow.

Remember these rules go for OOC PvP. In RP-PvP we always urge the participants to discuss rules beforehand! Let me start this with a headline that doesn't get a number, as it should transcend each and every rule we have:

USE YOUR COMMON SENSE! (As Ferron says: "Either you get it, or you fuck off!")

1. RESPECT RP. When you or others are in character, then act accordingly. I.e. if your character has no reason to attack some people who are roleplaying, then don't. On the other hand, if you know that your "opponent" is a non-rp'er or in "OOC-mode", then attack all you want (see our Mighty shit list for list of OOC guilds).

2. PROMOTE THE FAIR FIGHT when possible - attack the biggest group first. Don't start a raid and zerg. Yea, we die more often, but we believe the more challenging a fight, the more fun, and hopefully, the more we learn.

3. ATTACKED FIRST? Then anyone is fair game, but try to keep it fair.

4. WE DON'T DO OOC NAP's (non-attack policies) between guilds, as it only leads to huge zergs attacking those few who aren't part of the NAP. And ultimately it leads to boring and stale pvp. As many guilds have the "with us or against us" policy, this means we are on their KOS lists, simply because we refuse to let ourselves get tied up in the NAP webs.

5. WE DON'T HAVE A KOS LIST because it to us seems a bit silly - especially from an IC point of view.

6. OUR OOC PLAYGROUNDS: We consider Kheshetta and Common District largely as OOC PvP zones. Not that we will disrupt anyone rp'ing there, but simply because it seems to be the consensus of the server. From an IC view this zone is supposed to be an extremely hostile environment, so if we stumble upon someone who is IC, we usually send a tell that we are generic bandits or agents of the Black ring, or something to that effect.

7. R-E-S-P-E-C-T (find out what it means to me). If someone politely asks you to leave them alone, respect it. No questions asked. We generally urge our members not to repeatedly attack people who are questing. We will not go about intentionally ruining someone's game time.

8. IT'S JUST PVP! If we kill you in OOC PvP, please don't take it personal. This is a PvP server, and if you are a level 80 in Kheshetta (or Commons) we assume you are there to PvP. We never ever, ever, ever go into childish fighting over tells or any other channel for that matter. Sure you will sometimes get some rude tells in pvp. We expect ALL our members to reply in a mature fashion or with a friendly "It's just pvp - take it easy". Taking the higher ground, instead of letting yourself and our good name be dragged through their shit. As we say in Fearghal: if you throw shit at people, you start smelling of shit yourself.
