FIGHT RP DOC/NON-MUTATION CULLINGS

FIGHT RP DOC/NON-MUTATION CULLINGS

NOTICE: Moderators may tweak rules or change rulings depending on the situation. Fight roleplay/roleplay which could potentially involve death needs to be closely monitored and there are often edge cases that do not fit into existing rulesets.

CAN MY CHARACTER USE THEIR WEAPON IN A FIGHT?

Characters cannot use weapons that could -believably result in another character's death- without facing retribution from the drones. This means your character cannot get into a -knifefight- with another character, nor can they shoot them in the leg, or use a bat to beat their legs in. Some weapons that would be 'alright' to use in a fight include boxing gloves, a simple thin stick, a staff, your own fists or legs, nunchucks, etc. You get no bonuses for using these weapons.

CAN CULLING IN A FIGHT BE ALLOWED UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES IC-LY + OOC-LY?

1. 'Self-defense':
If you can effectively argue that you feared for your life at the hands of the other character and argue that the fight was clearly taking a lethal turn, your character will be able to cull that character, but will be detained for questioning in-universe and may face punishment.
OOCly, this ties into the rule regarding baiting fights/'no consequence fight rp'. If your character swings at someone, they will be swung at back. If your character attempts to cull someone, they can be culled.

2. 'Specialty Duel':
If both characters ICly agree to a 'Lethal Duel' and the players OOCly agree, the characters can participate in a fight which -could- potentially result in one of the character's deaths.

Otherwise, unauthorized culling is NOT CURRENTLY ALLOWED on Verdant. If you kill someone during a fight, you will go to jail and may face culling yourself.
