Well, according to that description of extremes I'm supposedly sitting between chairs. I do enjoy a bit of conflict, for without any conflict, without contradiction of opinion all what is left - especially in politics - is a bore; it's like your whole life in RP is forever trapped in an endless circle of small talk - which I even loathe in real life, to be honest. On the other hand I try to take in that other people might be affected in one way or the other. But at least of the politicians in game I expect both the ability to seperate IG and OOC, and to take in a somewhat rougher handling, so to say - as I expect politicians in RL to deal with animosity and conflict, for one should not stay in the kitchen if one can't stand the heat. So I really don't mind if Binarabi verbally attacks Matis as a rule, or if Rikutatis takes a more subtle method to undermine our standing. Salazar will remember, and most likely will pay back debts if he sees fit. ;)In both cases I don't see the need to deny help to someone who asks for it. That's more a matter of manners and common sense for me than of politics and conflict.
What we value most?To be a true Tryker, you gotta live by the virtues of freedom, equality and sharing:Freedom: Consider all homins responsible and free of their acts. Any homin violating the freedom of another will be in breach of the Homin Rights Act, which as it happens, was first drawn up by the Tryker Council.Equality: Every homin has an equal right to walk the land, to obtain instruction, to harvest the natural resources, to choose their own destiny, as long as they don't encroach on other homin rights.[p]Sharing: We believe that our force lies in our solidarity and that solidarity is borne from sharing. If we could persuade all Jena's children to be like us Trykers the world would be a safer place!
Freedom: Consider all homins responsible and free of their acts. Any homin violating the freedom of another will be in breach of the Homin Rights Act, which as it happens, was first drawn up by the Tryker Council.
Equality: Every homin has an equal right to walk the land, to obtain instruction, to harvest the natural resources, to choose their own destiny, as long as they don't encroach on other homin rights.
Note that nowhere in there does it say that we have to be peaceful about it, nor is there any prohibition against conflict.

If a non/light-RP player whose character was of an opposing faction needed help, would you let RP take precedence over keeping Atys friendly to those who see Ryzom as a game rather than an interactive story? Would you be willing to break character to help them, or would you "stick to your guns" at the risk of causing OOC resentment?
Also with good reason we all want to keep those on board who doesn't care for the RP at all, but love the game, don't we? So I have no problem resurrecting an "enemy" calling for help in the Universe or Region channels, which are OOC anyway, or with joining in a mixed boss hunt, which I also don't take really seriously (...)
One nice thing about being a Tryker is that RP-ing a proper Tryker pretty much requires OOC decency (...)
2497: Trykers breach Edict of Four Peoples and sign a preferential trade agreement with Fyros, depriving Matis peoples of water supplies. Trykers refuse to renew lease of Lagoons of Loria.

Other games - they give you a cookie whether you succeed or not, in fact you don't even have to participate. Ryzom takes your cookie, eats it in front of you, and slaps you 2 or 3 times for bringing a cookie in the first place.

@Talk I think if you are ooc, or have a problem with being attacked for any reason you just don't tag, right?

Not all attacks involve loss of HP though; words can be weapons too.

To my mind, "Hardcore RP" is when you use an overzealous interpretation of lore to try to create conflict where none really exists, and to allow that desire for conflict to trump common decency, or even the commonly accepted interpretation of the lore that includes things like treaties or members of different factions working together. When you think you know better than the devs and the community, maybe you're taking things a bit too far.
By contrast, "Casual RP-ers" may get totally immersed in their character, but they at least stay OOC enough to remember that for every homin on Atys, there is a human at a computer, that Ryzom is a game played by people seeking a pleasant diversion, and act with enough courtesy to not ruin other people's fun.

all toons should have a tag showing where they are on the scale of "just a game" to "Lore is my life!" to make it easier. I mean, asking questions gets tedious after a while, so why not just wear a "badge" instead?

I do have a few words that I think fit those that I called "hardcore" here better, but we're not allowed to use those words on these forums ;)The trouble with being a monoglot stuck with a non-expressive language...
