New MVP Domination Rule

[GM-Ayu]

@Linnea

"Should the MVP be the one who teleports away, then domination status is reset, and whoever engages the MVP first becomes the new dominating party." (from rule itself)

Natural Teleport and acceptable level of human errors in forcing a rude attack will go under this. As for 'how to determine' usually it's quite 'obvious' so far that one party sends 1 person to go in and do this, while rest of the party are on standby to try to find the mvp again the moment that one guy succeeds in purposely done rude attack.


@ Indra

"A dominating party loses its status when the party dies or no longer engages the MVP (that is, no longer attacking the MVP and/or no longer being attacked by the MVP.)"

Teleporting out of the map will count under no longer engaging the MVP. However, purposely stopping asura by a competing party, unless it's a strategic mvp support, will be illegal anyway. Not many MVPs need a SW on purpose to negate Pneuma though... Kiel and Mistress are almost the only 2.


@Marivel

I'll assume valk directly, since it's valk that drove us to write this rule.

I'll further assume that both parties are killing valk by reflection.

Say Party 1 is already setup in which paladin is in front of ice wall, and all necessary supporting parties are behind the wall already. Party 2 with identical plan in mind arrives but appears on wrong side of the wall. Do they have any right to take down the wall to send the paladin to the other side?

"Possible, but" now it'll depend on situation.

-depending on variation on how you're using the reflection strat, but generally pally dies at super frequent rate, and if you take down the wall, valk will most likely chase everyone who is now revealed and in valk's line of fire. Taking down the wall now will probably kill the party. Violates the "don't kill other players" rule that isn't part of the MVP Domination: you just don't try to get other players killed.

-but what if, say you got your own hwiz, make a new wall between your own paladin with valk on that side and your support party+the other party's support chars, then ganbantein the first wall by first party away? this is ok, because the other chars aren't killed as a new wall is in place, and this is in accordance to dominating party's strategy: to get a wall between pally and rest of party so EQ is the only spell that hits across the wall.
