Both of you mentioned the most sensitive point and understandably. I got an idea, to meet you halfway, we could make it mandatory to have some sort of 'foreplay' that comes before any shots are fired. That means like I described at one part; displaying weapons to the opposite gang, trying to provoke (or warn for) a physical standoff by certain actions which are to be RPed at the scene. In the case where violence (after a sufficiently RPed standoff or intrusion of honour) does happen, it can however be pardonned by the fact there's an active war. This change in plans would mean, 'shooting on sight' will not be the case, and thus it won't really look and feel like legalised straight DM. Does this sound reasonable to you guys? yea, harassing or otherwise provocating through Rp actions -> gunfire, something in that direction seems as the best solution for me (otherwise it would kinda change the gamemode if you could just run up to someone and shoot him right away)
