We don't expect to succeed, we expect to get our asses kicked. You have 15 people on that can come kick our asses right now. Why do you need me to post on your thread? We're not going to seige you. Something like that happened to me that was completely ridiculous. Was in a player-owned bar (owner character was present IC) and a fight broke out involving someone using fire magic. They were just tossing it around at each other (and dodging), so in an effort to acknowledge the haphazard, mindless use of fire and hopefully make things more interesting for the other onlooking characters, my character started reacting to how one of the stray fireballs was catching the bar counter aflame and, when no one did anything about it, started to spread. The "owner" player got pissed and informed me that if I was going to burn the bar down it was considered an assault and required 24/48 hours notice. I let it go, but holy hell, how is it possible for someone to so unabashedly misunderstand and misuse that policy? It's supposed to help prevent people from being able to storm into a heavily-fortified and armed city with 40 people when there are only four logged in at the moment, not insta-prevent any conflict of any sort by anyone ever.
