Violence
There are two different timesets.
30 seconds for non-lethal - So for the thirty seconds you can still rob people, take hostages and have punch ups. There should still be escalation to this you shouldn't be counting to thirty seconds just for the sake of it the scene should escalate maybe appropriate insults leading to both sides getting heated and a brawl breaks outs, people don't need to be shooting every 5 seconds can we please get some decent role play and diversify it.
Bounty hunters have a 15 second interaction time when capturing a fugitive.
1 minute for lethal - At this point lethal action IE guns etc. can be used. WITH proper RP and ESCALATION in a scene that would warrant a shoot out. If the RP is WEAK then this shootout should not be happening, again people don't need to pull guns and do the same scene over and over using your imaginations!!! And not everyone has to take place in the same area IE tell someone to meet you somewhere where you will settle your differences scenes can continue over different areas if both parties are in agreement.
