# Rules of Conflict Engagement Without a story, conflict can feel random and meaningless. It's important to establish what is at stake and why the conflict matters to the characters involved. This can be done through backstory, dialogue, and character development. As the conflict progresses, it should continue to build and escalate, with each obstacle or setback providing new challenges for the characters to overcome. By the end of the conflict, there should be a resolution that feels satisfying and true to the story that has been played out. Without a well-developed conflict, the RP can fall flat and fail to engage all parties involved. \ \ **To help ensure that conflict scenarios can still be enjoyable for those involved please follow the rules below:** 1. Conflict must have a story and support its development. 2. Initiation must be through roleplay, not KOS, flag/car/clothing colors, bounties, social media apps (squawk), or previous conflict. 3. Live as if your character has only one life. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
