That's why I'm thinking that the Diplomacy sphere will not deal with PvP but will instead deal with PvE, because the NPC's will be programmed to react to your in-game statistics and will act in rational ways (and we all know that most players in MMORPGs definately do not act in rational ways).

Hmmmmmmmm. Diplomacy in the PVP arena you say? My guess is that it would go something like this.

LilUberBro12: wut u doin out here this b leetdoodz gild teritorie!!!!!!!111

Ambassador Chatsworth Ellington III: Pardon me my good man, I had no intention of trespassing
on thine land. I have very important business with the King in the castle on yonder hill. Would thoust
care to accompany me on my journey?

LilUberBro12: um...wut?????????

Ambassador Chatsworth Ellington III: <Points to castle> I'm going to yonder castle to negotiate
a very important peace treaty with the King. Would you care to come along?

LilUberBro12: y wud i want 2 watch u talk 2 a npc ??????//??

Ambassador Chatsworth Ellington III: <Sighs> Why indeed. Well I'll just be on my way then.
Good day to you sir.

LilUberBro12: ware did u get that robe ur wareing???????????

Ambassador Chatsworth Ellington III: Ah my robe. Yes it is quite becoming isn't it? I procured this
fine garment with the proceeds gained from a particularly difficult, yet ultimately rewarding trade deal
I brokered between two fine cities. It's not often that you see a robe of such fine quality and deep,
rich color. I particularly like the gold trim and the--

Ambassdor Chatsworth Ellington III: There is certainly no need for violence sir!

LilUberBro12: DYE!!!!!!!111111 <Lunges forward>

You attempt to strike Chatsworth Ellington III with your sword but he talks you out of it!

LilUBerBro12: wtf wut hapend?????????????????? <Swings Sword>

You draw back your sword as if to strike Chatsworth Ellington III but you realize he is a well connected,
highly respected diplomat. You stop in mid-swing!


LilUberBro12: y i cant hit u with sord??????????????? <Puts sword away and draws war
hammer> Now u wil dye dumass!!!!!!1

You raise your hammer in a threatening manner at Chatsworth Ellington III but it suddenly dawns
on you that pummeling an important diplomat could have severe consequences. You decide not to strike!


LilUberBro12: OMGWTFBBQ this dont make no sence!!!!11 my attak buton it b defective!!!!!!!1

Ambassador Chatsworth Ellington III: You are wise to have second thoughts about attacking me sir.
I am afterall a very seasoned, very senior diplomat in service to the King. Now if you will excuse me I will
take my leave. <Turns and saunters off toward the castle>

LilUberBro12: wtf?????
