Kingshead Etiquette

[Aliese]

Personally, I believe there's always a place for common courtesy, and that there's nothing unrealistic about expecting others to be polite.

Anonymous or not, all those pirates you see are being controlled by real people - treat them as such (which means, hopefully, with respect). IMO, if someone asks another player to not attack their enemy/enemies (assuming they were there first), the other player should respect that. Otherwise, again IMO, they're knowingly annoying another player, and that is against the rules.

You spelled it out..

Ownership: "their enemies" The statement infers that somehow the person who was there first owns something when in reality there is no ownership and thus no duty to ask or an obligation to have another player allow you to do something.

Expectations: "expecting others to be polite" The statement implies that there are rules for politeness, ie don't attack enemies that someone else is attacking, when there is clearly no expectation or rule implying this. Rude behavior does not mean rep stealing, interrupting grenades/staff training or messing up enemies. That is called playing the game and everyone plays how they want too.

Common courtesy always implies a set of common values shared by all involved. With the multi-cultural, multi-age nature of this game I doubt you will find much common ground.

The word guide and the word guidelines are very different in meaning. A guide (as your using it) is a recommendation on the best way to do something while a guideline is a rule for how to act. Giving advice on how to improve your game play is always welcome but I'm not sure people react the same to others telling them how to behave. Disney has a code of conduct that spells it out very nicely so lets just stick to that without adding anything.
