Ive seen and heard of people killing each other at the grindstone. It's not common but it is there.  >_>
I mean, with killing, it should only really be considered murder if you deal the killing blow, such as stabbing someone in the heart or cutting their head off. Otherwise if you get youre chest slashed open and you're blood spurts everywhere, you will be most likely fine as long as a healer get's to you. I remember that last grindstone, I did nearly kill someone by stabbing them in their chest with a knife, basically cut the side of their chest open and cut their skull open a little. The fighter was fine afterwards, though a bit shaken mentally most likely. My point is that as long as you dont 'intend' or have a 'killing intent' about you when fighting someone, then you most likely wont get into trouble.
That is a terribly off topic point though so now I will make a legitimate point regarding to the original purpose of the thread.
Grindstone is a good way to get thing's going. As well as scheduled Tavern RP, but with some RPers (and me because this happened to me back when I started. I dont do it anymore.) Want to make the story center around themselves. While there is no issue with doing that, personal RP centered around a few people should never be forced on others who do not have an interest. With that said, playing the side character is always good too because then you get to RP with others and have deep and meaningful character and relationship development. That and when you run off and do personal RP, people are more likely to follow you if you invested time into their characters and they have invested into you.
Name of the game is to give and receive in equal measure.
