I know bby.
Quote:Just posting to say that I agree that communication is key. In fact, I find it to be not only extending a courtesy, but necessary to allow a fight to play out. You don't have to plan the entire battle/whatever, but just letting the person know you're open to communication about the attacks/whatever may allow the person to feel more at ease with the situation itself.
As for asking someone before you strike, I think it should be done. I don't like it. I don't really enjoy the idea that it ruins a sense of dynamic RP by letting someone know what's going to happen, but I can see it as a necessity. Some people have things going on/don't have time/aren't interested in the exchange, and as such shouldn't have things forced on them that they don't want to do.
As Lia said, that kind of stuff was well and good "back in the day," and personally I'm still okay with it. But now? It's not very-well accepted and that should be considered as well. Either that or form a group/linkshell/way to distinguish people that don't mind so you don't have to worry about it.
Some people will just roll with the punches. Â Other people will completely freak out and cause a massive volcano of drama. Â I'm allergic to the latter, so I'd prefer just to smooth things out OOC before I start swinging.
