What would you do....???????

[gaspode1]

Here's a hypothetical question that I think is worthy of the game Scruples. I know what I'd do, but thought I'd like to hear from the Ryzom community to see if I hold a minority view.

Player A falls out with player B. As a result player B knows that player A will not res him. It is impossible to determine the facts of the dispute and judge whether either party may be considered right or wrong. It is not known whether player B likewise refuses to res player A.

Player B teams with player C who is not aware of the dispute at all.

Player A sees the team.

Player C asks in Region Chat for a res as they are both down. Player A could pretend not to have seen the request. However, he feels he has to walk to player C's body & say something like - "Sorry, I'd like to help you but I won't res player B & if I res you then you will res player B".

(Player C doesn't really worry about DP as such - it only takes 10 minutes to clear & worse things happen at sea.)

What is a reasonable response from player C (maybe more than one in the list is possible) :-

1. Something other than, or additional to, the following points (if so, what?).

2. Pretend it never happened & carry on as before.

3. Tell player B you will never team with him again since it means you don't get a res from A.

4. Tell player A you have done 3.

5. Tell player A you will never res them in future.

6. Tell player A you will never team with them again.

7. In a teaming situation tell other team members they have to make a choice between having you or player A in the team but not both of you.

8. Tell players A & B that you never want anything to do with either of them again.

9. Tell player A that if you ever see them in a PVP zone you will be attacking them (it's irrelevant for the purposes of this question who would win).

10. DON'T tell player A, just attack if you see them in PVP. After all, you wern't aware of the 'no res' policy until after the event. So why should you bother to pre-warn them of a PVP attack.

11. Tell as many people as possible what happened, both in game and across the BB, naming names to shame those you think should be ashamed.

Don't forget, these are only options, I haven't said what I think is appropriate - at least, not yet.

Oh, and here's the kicker; re-read the post and for 'Player A' substitute 'Player A and their guild'. Is your response still the same. Bear in mind that your response could now affect guild menbers who, like you, know nothing of the original dispute, but have just been told "Our Guild will not res player B'.

Hope this gets some interesting responses (not any sort of flame war).
