Religion in Larp

If PvP is done correctly, it can be of a great benefit to a LARP and can enhance the Roleplay experience of all those involved. However, PvP often turns into Griefing/Trolling (especially when there are no negative consequences) which, as you said, would be detrimental overall.

I would be interested in hearing about a way pvp would not be detrimental. I consider the social opposition a form of pvp, I suppose. But when it comes to actual strikes against pcs, I cant see that ending well and without some bad blood on both sides.

What would be interesting is trying to stay neutral with this conflict dividing the players. That will be tougher than being on one of the aligned sides.

The current plot is unifying, both Dark and Light need to work together. Xualla started that trend, and through Balfurious and into the Nulls, we have been having to set aside differences. However, both sides still are what they are, and the hostility remains, providing a backdrop of tension which is great for RP.

With the new development, we will likely explore what True Evil is, and that is going to be hard on the Light aligned. But, again, great for RP.

Being one of the few Neutral Representatives of Clergy in game at this point as a Brazenite (there are two of us Brazen clergy right now... Three Enax, I think and one or two Visigalan, to my knowledge). One would think the Neutrals would have an easier time of working with both sides and for the most part, we do but its not without problems of one sort or another.

I agree to a degree with both views on PvP- while some can be good to move things along, oft times, it can get and often does go too far... and that's where the problems lie. Where is the line and how does one walk it without going too far.

Dave is right- the two sides are being forced/encouraged to work together to allow the "universe" to survive. This, as in the past, can make for some rather interesting groups fighting against a common foe; tensions being what they are. Its good RP, as long as the players involved manage it right.

Don't forget the Chroncilerites.

Oops! My bad. We have two, right?
