'''Introduction to the rest of your life:'''
If you are reading this then you have been ganked and murdered several times by that jerx with all the focus, and pondering how to go about revenge! Or maybe you are new in the world of Hell, and the idea of PVP and skull-crushing murder gets you all hot and bothered! No matter, this is the place where your prayers, may Gilmore rest your soul, be answered!
PVP, or Player versus player, is combat and or ill-intended actions being exchanged between a player or group against or directed at another player and/or group. Things like picking into a poor bastards apartment and looting their precious text and munching their deathsuits, introducing your piston hammer to their skulls as they try to kill lampreys, or even grabbing them and throwing that poor scrubbe down the orphanage steps! Those are all acts of PVP in the game, which is controlled and regulated with the Challenge System! Since you are practically drooling to know more... let's hop to it.

Shots have been fired! The Challenge system is based around 2 main parts, you challenging someone or someone challenging you. If Gilmore attacks me, or tries to pick my measly little Bradbury apartment, he challenges me! Meaning I have a challenge on me from him! Or if I go and fuck up Kayle's shit? I would put a challenge on him. Pretty simple, in theory. However, there are multiple factors that play a role in the nitty-gritty specifics of challenges and who can do what: but do not worry, we are about to shove this wall of text down your throat!

*Allows you to pick into any lock/door that person is scanned into or hiding behind like a little bitch! This includes planes and corp HQs, and even other player's apartment that might not even have a challenge against you! But since they decided to hide that cowardly bastard, their shit is open season to you as well! Remember this if you are hiding fugitives from Helljustice.

Alright then. So we see if someone does throw a challenge against you, that means they are taking these risks for attacking you in some form so... shit just got real for 15 helldays(roughly 2 days IRL), that is how long challenges last standard: but more ill-intended actions from the challenger can reset the challenge timer against the challenged. Now lets move on:


'''Things that will issue challenges against people! If you like being a shitlorde...'''

*Attacking a player in a yellow zone in any fashion! Obviously.
*Picking a player's non-@sethome'd apartment.
*Picking an inactive's apartment.
*Picking an apartment regardless of challenge possession.
*Looting a corpse for its tasty loots.
*Attempting to grab a player in a yellow zone.
*Attacking a player's things in their apartment or attacking their doors!
*Barging/or otherwise entering an apartment where you have not been set on their allow visit list.
*Typing challenge <enter scrubbe's name here>
*Unwarranted sexual advances
*Eating a nigga's honey nut cheerios. May Gilmore help your troubled soul.
As you can see there are multiple ways you can fuck up and get yourself fucked up: so don't go around attacking people if you don't want a merciless dick of a fister-pire rammed up your bum. Nor do you want to go around spewing a bunch of shit, because someone might take the risk just to put you in your rightful, scum-licking place.
'''Timelimits on Challenges!'''
Depending on what you do, the challenge that is issued can last anywhere from 2 minutes to forever. Let's take a look!

== Corp Challenges! ==
'''So you've got some cool friends, do ya?'''
This is fairly simple: if you challenge a person, you also issue an active challenge to every member of that person's corp. Not only do you have that person out for you: you have a whole corp able to gank/offline pick you.<br>
I cannot stress enough on choosing wisely whom you wish to fucketh with.
'''There is always that special snowflake...'''
Them exceptions to the rules. They have a special name: '''outlaws''' (those people with the funny first name and a + before their names on the who-list)<br>
They can ignore the challenge system as if it was a red zone and attack you and anyone on sight! However, you can also attack them no matter the zone as well. But you may not pick them unless they have attacked you and issue a challenge. Such is life as an outlaw.

So you heard me speak of yellow zones, and green zones and all that good non-important shit, right? Good. The world of Hell is broken into zones, to be exact, 3 of them. These 3 zones dictate what parts of the Challenge system is enforced or lack of being enforced as you might have noticed in your repeated gankings.

== Greenzone, where you'd probably make your home... ==
== Green zone, where the game starts ==
Green zone, noted by the area name you are in colored in green next to your map, is most likely the first of the zones you will encounter. Normally, no PVP is usually allowed in the zone: meaning you cannot attack other players directly. However, looting of corpses is allowed and thus would issue a challenge and etc etc. There are some other special cases that I will cover later on that bypass this standard rule. But for the most part: green zone is the rather safe zone from other players (not other hazards like NPCs/environment). Freedom City is mostly a Green zone except some spots. Places like Anyport and the Orphange are strict green zones.
'''Pretty much no PVP''' without prior challenge is allowed in the zone: meaning you cannot attack other players directly and explosives/scare don't work properly.<br>
 
If someone challenged you though? It's time to smash.<br>
== Yellowzone, where the game truly begins... ==
There are ways to harm other players anyway (like fuel rods or [[Zombie]] minions) - but admins hate seeing it and will quickly ban.<br>
Yellow zone, noted by the area name like the green zone, is in yellow. You will encounter yellow zones rather quickly as you progress your way and don't idle in your apartment or your corp's HQ, for most of Hell is yellowzones. PVP is fully allowed and the challenge system is enforced fully! Meaning you can attack someone that hasn't challenged you, but you will put a challenge on them and be open to PVP even in greenzones etc etc! This is where a good portion of griefing happens, don't be a statistic, don't piss people off.
Looting of corpses or using spew/screech/scare is possible and will issue a challenge.
 
== Redzone, where legends are made [ not really ]... ==
Red zone, noted by the- fuck, if you are here, you know it. Red zones are few and far between, meaning if you are here by accident, it is in your best interest to quicker your arse to the nearest yellowzone. Why you ask? Because like the yellowzone, PVP is fully enforced...
 
However, the challenge system is not.
 
There is no revenge if someone catches you and ganks you for your deathsuit and exosuit.
There is no plotting to loot their apartment for your lovely text that was more than likely munched.
There is no camping in the streets of Freedom City in cover with your FN SCAR and hunt on.
 
Because you have no challenge to act on.


This place is just pure, unregulated PVP savagery. You kill without immediate consequence. You get killed without care. Sure, their corp might get their feather ruffled: but they cannot do anything until you step into a yellow or red zone, and then, they issue the challenge against you. It is mainly wise to stay out these places unless with a group. Remember it is safety in numbers.
== Yellow zone, where the game truly begins... ==
Apart from unprovoked lockpicking, all PvP actions are doable - meaning you can attack someone that hasn't challenged you, but '''you will put a challenge on them''' and be open to PVP even in greenzones etc etc.<br> 
You are less likely to be attacked here if your corporation has a lockpicker who can help you retaliate against dickbags!<br> 


So, remember: Green is ok safe, yellow is risk but revenge, red is good luck!
== Red zone, where legends are made [ not really ]... ==
PvP is fully enforced, but the challenge system isn't:<br>
Anything can be picked, anyone can be attacked, '''with no challenges issued''' that people can use to retaliate.<br>


== Corp Challenges! ==

This is a fun little thing that comes into play when at least 1 of the parties involved belongs to a corp of some kind, disregarding Carebear (if carebear, you really shouldn't even concern yourself you whimp). This, actually is fairly simple: if you challenge a person, you also issue an active challenge to every member of that person's corp. I think you know what that means... not only do you have that person out for you: you have a whole corp able to gank/pick you on-sight. I cannot stress enough on choosing wisely whom you wish to fucketh with.

Well, that is the basics to the PVP system of Hell. There are more little special things and quirks, however it is much funnier watching you rage *bug and *er and *ata about them than me blabbing about it on this wiki.
It is wise to not hang around these places for too long, unless you have nothing to lose.

PVP (Player Vs. Player) Challenge System and You!

Here is my gun. Watch it go bang!

Shots have been fired! The Challenge system is based around 2 main parts, you challenging someone or someone challenging you.
If Gilmore attacks me, or tries to pick my measly little Bradbury apartment, he challenges me! Meaning I have a challenge on me from him!
Or if I go and fuck up Kayle's shit? I would put a challenge on him. Pretty simple, in theory.

Effects of challenges

First let's find out what having a challenge from someone on you does!

  • Allows you to attack that person on-sight no matter the type of zone you two are in!
  • Allows you to pick into that person's property - that means apartments/planes/boats/other cum forts.
  • Allows you to pick into any lock/door that person is scanned into or hiding behind like a little bitch! This includes planes and corp HQs, and even another player's apartment that might not even have a challenge against you! However, picking locks that aren't owned directly owned by that person will cause you to challenge the owner!
  • If the challenge was placed against you first (i.e that bastard made a move first on you specifically) then all the above actions except for some cases of picking will not issue a return challenge until the former challenge expires.

Things that will issue challenges against people! If you like being a shitlorde...

Cause Duration Notes
Unconsented habbery 2 minutes Groping, spanking etc. without consent: allow sex from <name>
Insulting, hacking Gangland cameras 10 minutes Using the insult command on other players or hacking the Gangland cameras that another corporation owns.
Installing plane modules 1 hour Installing modules in planes that aren't yours.
Focus abilities 6 hours Using spew, screech or scare to mess with people, even in green zones. Medium is exempt from this.
Aggressive actions 12 hours Attacking/grabbing/looting/butchering players as well as attacking plane hatches. This doesn't include dragging bodies.
Picking*, barging, challenging 2 days Picking only challenges if you pick A) inactive players or B) a lock that someone who challenged you first is scanned into or hiding behind. For example: their corp HQ or their friend's plane.
Permachallenge Forever permachallenge <name>. Keep in mind that this permanently bars your character from entering the FCPD precinct.

Corp Challenges!

So you've got some cool friends, do ya? This is fairly simple: if you challenge a person, you also issue an active challenge to every member of that person's corp. Not only do you have that person out for you: you have a whole corp able to gank/offline pick you.
I cannot stress enough on choosing wisely whom you wish to fucketh with.

There is always that special snowflake... Them exceptions to the rules. They have a special name: outlaws (those people with the funny first name and a + before their names on the who-list)
They can ignore the challenge system as if it was a red zone and attack you and anyone on sight! However, you can also attack them no matter the zone as well. But you may not pick them unless they have attacked you and issue a challenge. Such is life as an outlaw.

It's sometimes the where, not the who... So you heard me speak of yellow zones, and green zones and all that good non-important shit, right? Good. The world of Hell is broken into zones, to be exact, 3 of them. These 3 zones dictate what parts of the Challenge system is enforced or lack of being enforced as you might have noticed in your repeated gankings.

Green zone, where the game starts

Pretty much no PVP without prior challenge is allowed in the zone: meaning you cannot attack other players directly and explosives/scare don't work properly.
If someone challenged you though? It's time to smash.
There are ways to harm other players anyway (like fuel rods or Zombie minions) - but admins hate seeing it and will quickly ban.
Looting of corpses or using spew/screech/scare is possible and will issue a challenge.

Yellow zone, where the game truly begins...

Apart from unprovoked lockpicking, all PvP actions are doable - meaning you can attack someone that hasn't challenged you, but you will put a challenge on them and be open to PVP even in greenzones etc etc.
You are less likely to be attacked here if your corporation has a lockpicker who can help you retaliate against dickbags!

Red zone, where legends are made [ not really ]...

PvP is fully enforced, but the challenge system isn't:
Anything can be picked, anyone can be attacked, with no challenges issued that people can use to retaliate.

This place is just pure, unregulated PVP savagery. You kill without immediate consequence. You get killed without care. Sure, their corp might get their feather ruffled: but they cannot do anything until you step into a yellow or red zone, and then, they issue the challenge against you.

It is wise to not hang around these places for too long, unless you have nothing to lose.
