It's not provoking, it's not the full POV I guess. My friend 177155 had seen an advert or something saying that house was for sale, we came to look at it. We said it seemed too expensive, which is something the guy posting the complaint confirms. And then he starts telling us to leave and says some pretty rude stuff. And I'm ICly just talking smack back cuz I RP a gangster and it is realistic of me to talk smack back and not take his insults like a sitting duck, especially considering there's two of us.
The fact that there's a provoking rule also indicates one must be aware of consequences of one's actions. You can't just talk shit to random people and expect them to just walk away.
And fear RP is RPing fear for your life, we were talking shit to him when he was alone, when his friends came up because of his OOC backup and started pointing guns at us, we RPed fear, we left. But then we thought we could pick them off one by one from the side. Happens in real life too when you get an adrenaline rush, you start thinking about doing shit that might seem stupid to a normal person.
