@NotSanni said in On PvP and permanent injuries:

Rephrasing PvP as “CvC” and allowing for CvC - Character vs Character - conflict while not tolerating PvP (player vs player) content is a good first step

While I certainly agree that words have power and CvC is more the aim, I think running counter to well-established, cultural jargon is a losing proposition.

PvP never literally means actual player versus player. We’re not standing on posts whacking each other with sticks like American Gladiators (yes, I’m old). It’s always a conflict via character proxies.

And really, acknowledging that there is some measure of OOC factors (like a chess match, but with story beats) feels more honest.
