This probably already has been said during those 6 pages of long text, the main problem when you're RPing in a non PVP MMO is you cannot actually interact violently with the character in front of yours.
So, even though you would RP a Giant Hulkroe vs a cute Lalafell, it's up to the situation, the people involved and to the tacit rules most of RPer are supposed to know and to follow when it comes to their reaction. Your character would be able to "touch" the other one and to actually be able to throw them away because they are taller and stronger, this situation would not happen that often.
Now nothing can stop someone who wants to cause a problem in the middle of an event. It happened before, it will happen again and it's one of the reason that lead a LOT of people who are organizing some wide size event to have at least one guard ready to stun any idiot who would attempt to make a ruckus. Worse. Those people can simply ignore the guards and just continue to cause some problems. Those one have to be pmed OOC right away and if they don't stop ? Those guys deserve to be /block.
Now about the event, there are some unsaid rules which are logical for some people and clearly not for some others :
- You're allowed to come with your character in the state of mind they are. Your character can be sad, happy, angry, upset, etc. As long as you accept the consequences it might have.
- You're allowed to see an enemy and to be displeased, to growl and the like.
- If you see someone you don't like or your character doesn't get along with. Don't go and RP with them. This would lead to ruckus and you will only cause some problems to those who spent HOURS and DAYS to create that event.
- If REALLY you cannot do otherwise than to be confronted to someone you dislike. There are 3 ways to go : Ignore them, be courteous because you're in public, leave the event to fight or do whatever you want with them. Fighting during an event while it's not part of it is NOT acceptable. Particularly if you RP this as though you and your opponent are alone in a desert island with nobody around.
- Using an event for your own plots is OK, as long as nobody around is aware of what you're doing (aka taking the benefit of the crowd while you're RPing to help the immersion, but RPing in private with the people involved in your plot for example). As soon as you try to divert the event to serve your purpose you have to stop. Right away.
- All this include people who are coming and suddenly decide to attract the attention and to make a ruckus, to not respect the basic rules of courtesy and thus ignore as well the logical "Ew this character is twice my side, wears a heavy armor, a big sword while I'm half naked..... Maybe I should shut up actually."
Let me put it simply :
BE RESPECTFUL. THIS EVENT YOU'RE PARTICIPATING TO ISN'T YOURS. IT'S NOT ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER ONLY AND THEIR STORY. THUS YOU HAVE TO BEND YOUR CHARACTER A LITTLE SO THINGS CAN GO SMOOTHLY. IF YOU DON'T DO SO AND HAVE FUN CAUSING SOME PROBLEMS DURING AN EVENT, SORRY, BUT YOU'RE A BUTT.
