If the one being attacked tries to solve the issue and the attacker doesn't want to, then that's another story.

if the attacker really wants to stop it, wants to stop the whining and so one, he will do what he can to stop it. That is my point of view. If the attacker continues to use his strength, even if the bully stops his actions, then the attacker is not that good as he wants other to think he is. I also believe that you should act, even in a game, according to your values. I am not saying not to mug people of virtual cash or other similar things. i just want to point out that even good people like show off and feel superior over others. i would say more, but i feel that being sincere will put me in hospital and i want to enjoy my few gym trains during the exams period.

Everyone(almost) wants to look like some kind of angels, good people, in the forum. they are those who think that discussing your problems via mail is whining. You know who you are!!!

I agree that sometimes the attacker wants an excuse to keep it going, and that sometimes they might hold the grudge too long. The same is true of the antagonizer. The only way these situations ever stop is if both people are not too stubborn, or if Zenith and/or I step in and try to diffuse it. But we don't like to do that because then we are having a direct impact on the way people play the game. I personally don't think we should. I think as admins we should be there to answer questions, fix things, add things and make the game playable, and then the players should determine the course the game goes.

Take online hits as an example. There is nothing preventing people from hitting each other online. But we have awesome players who most of the time respect each other and follow this "code" if you will. That is one of the things that makes our game so great, we have great players. If everyone who played this game was a complete a-hole this game would suck, no matter how good the functionality of it was.
