The trouble with arrogance and taking things to rolls: My plithey snooty elf is equally capable of beating the shit out of Berrod as he is to me. If my elf gets manhandled, it's no real detriment to my character. If someone playing a confident role gets smashed by my doucher, it does nothing but derail their characterization.
It's a prominent thing at the GS, actually. Mostly everyone knows that we try to keep the upraised rock as the sort of place for the organizers and folks using it as a vantage point. That has never stopped someone from deciding they're going to come stand on it, and in some cases, they get huffy and defensive about being asked to move. It's all "in character" but it's still a shitty thing to do at a public event, especially because security or bouncer rolls are usually doubling as support staff and an extra pair of eyes. The more time I have to spend arguing with someone about getting down is less time I have to be reading the log for the stuff I'm SUPPOSED to be looking at.
