How often do you want to see states of war between players?

[econ21]

This is just an informal poll to gauge people's views about PvP play in KotF. How often would you like to see players in a "state of war" with other players?

Explaining the categories:

Endemic - multiple wars, almost all the time
The norm - at least one war to be "on" during a session (10 turns)
Common - around one out of two sessions to experience PvP wars
Uncommon - around one in three or more sessions to experience PvP wars
Rare - only a few per game, to be major "events"
Terminal only - one to end the game where fitting

Edit: the motivation for the poll is with a view to the design of PvP rules. If they are going to be common, I think the rules need to be good. If they are rare, we can wing it.

econ, I think this poll would work better if we could select multiple options. I'd probably be happy with every option except the two extremes.

Um, good point - I don't think I can change the type of poll now, so people can post if they are indifferent between a range of responses.

Thinking about it some more, I think I would prefer common/uncommon, although I wouldn't mind if they were rare/the norm either.

I think it all depends on how people play their characters. Once the game starts then it sort this thing out it self.

I went for common, although, uncommon seems good as well.

Anyone want to provide a potted version of PvP wars in LotR for reference? How common were they?

I gather from TC that the game ended with Ignoramus/Zim kicking *** and that there was an unsatisfactory "war of words". What others were there? Roughly what proportion of sessions (10 turns slots) had a PvP war going on at some point within them?
