PVP Policy

If you are going to engage in combat with another player, please read this policy.
==Player versus Player Policy==
This game is not based on Player versus Player (PvP) combat, it is preferred that the bulk of combat be focused on the many villains that are available for combat (link to villain page). So please keep this in mind when running a plot.
While the focus of the game is not PvP, it is likely that at some point, conflict between two or more player characters will result in an actual fight, which does happen in the comics (e.g. X-Men vs Avengers). Sometimes these fights happen because of ICA = ICC, like a hero ignoring Batman's 'No non-Bat heroes in Gotham' rule to the point that Batman has to physically inform the hero to go away and never come back.
IF you are going to go into combat with a PC, please remember that this is a consent game. You cannot kill a character without his/her consent. Player character death also requires staff approval. This means that if you are Superman, you cannot just go roaming around using your powers to kick the snot out of people. Should RP and ICA=ICC lead to combat, this is different, but going around picking fights to pick a fight is unacceptable, and could be viewed as Character Misrepresentation. If all parties involved in the fight have a clear end in mind, with the ending being feasible and satisfactory, then there really is no problem and can be carried out as a normal scene. However, if parties cannot come to a satisfactory conclusion due to an out of character lack of information, contact a member of staff, who can possibly answer the question or resolve the dispute if there is a dispute over an aspect of the fight.
Staff should not have to arbitrate every action of a fight scene, leading to four hours of arguing over if hero X could do Y against hero Z and vice versa. Should neither party be able to handle this as a rational human being, it is suggested that the fight not take place. If you feel the need to show off your character's power, there are villains for that purpose.
