Why don't the frustrated duelists just join forces against the Man, beat him down and then go back to thrashing one another.
Am I missing something?

Actually, you have this completely backwards. One person calling for a duel tends to draw gawkers and form a line for said FiteKlub. In zones with a low population, this pretty much ends the zone PVP, and can interrupt what was, to that point, a decent battle. Zone PVP is not standing in line, trading punches and not moving. That is called arena, and there are many places to form a match.|

When I16 hits, do me a favor. Go to your Options menu. Look for the option that says Arena. Use it. Quit crying when people engage in zone PVP which means, you know, attacking people of the other faction in zone.
this is gr8

Honestly RPing FC Police is more fun than actually arguing with "spartans".
Also interesting is the fact that last night i saw only 1 FCer in RV and few melee toons in PD trying to duel on arena with FC rules: FC Police is successfull it seems

You know coming onto these boards and complaining about being griefed in-game will not help your problem. If you feel that you are being singled out and unfairly harassed in-game. feel free to file an in-game petition on the players in question.
However, keep in mind zone PvP is open forum PvP while Arena is where you are able to host duels.
GL and HF.

Why should I have to get your permission to attack in a zone that was meant to be open with no such restrictions? Because you are to lazy to got to the arena?
Bad news for you, your laziness and selfishness will never be a motivating factor of how or why I pvp. Sorry you thought you were so important only to find out you weren't.
Duel me.
I will work on my sig pic more when I have time.

Good point. However GMs won't punish someone for PvPing in a PvP zone.

I never said they would or wouldn't. Filing a formal complaint makes more sense than coming onto the forums and complaining to the community.

I am not sure why I need to repeat what I posted before. It was pretty clear, but I will use one sentence answers to explain the differences between PVP Zones and the Arena.|

The Arena was designed from combat with individuals and groups in a separate environment from other players.
The PvP Zones were designed for combat between anyone that can attack each other in that zone.
It has nothing to do with "being polite". If you go into a PvP Zone, you should know that anyone that can attack you may very well do so. Don't expect people to hold their fire because you want to use a PvP Zone in a non-standard manner. I think it is more impolite to expect to be able to use a PvP zone in a non-standard manner than it is impolite to use a PvP zone in the manner for which it was designed.
PvP Zones were not created for one-on-one dueling. If you don't like getting attacked by someone else when you are dueling, then take your fighting to the Arena.
Complaining about being attacked in a PvP Zone by players that you don't want to get attacked by is pointless. The point of a PvP Zone is that players can battle one another on one huge map where everyone can participate.
This is a very basic concept. If you can't understand it at this point, then you won't understand it.
If you want to duel "in peace", then go to the Arena.
Characters are free to attack targets that are available in PvP zones and you and whoever else you are dueling with are both available targets to every other player in a PvP zone. It should be no surprise when another player attacks you in a PvP Zone - as that is the entire point of a PvP zone.

Sounds to me like you are supporting these fights clubs and do you know what that means? That means you are breaking the law and for that we have to take you in. You kids don't even know what you're fighting for you just want to be rebels. At your age thats perfectly understandable but the law is the law and you must be punished for it. We will show no mercy for anyone who plans on participating in and or supporting eligal fight clubs in RV. This matter has turned into a public spectacle and is getting alot of attention. What is our new generation turning into with their drugs, biker gangs and fight clubs??

SIR, Your malecious behavior is completely unacceptable. You are not only breaking the law but you are setting a terrible example for the youthful noobs in this game. You were let off with several warnings and even arrested a few times yet you still continue to break the law and participate in fight clubs. You are now going the be put on our top 5 watch list and we will be monitering your behavor in RV. Have a nice day.

I let fiteklubbers be, but these "fiteklub police" threads make me want to review that policy.
Any fiteklubber who doesn't understand that everyone in the zone not interrupting his duel is doing him a substantial favor needs to be reminded that no one cares what you would rather be doing than as-designed, open-zone PvP.
(Additionally, I usually turn off broadcast before zoning in. If you aren't fiteklubbing in the very few places typically associated with it, I will not be stopping first to evaluate whether I have your blessing before sending you to the hospital.)
ADJUDICATION OF REQUEST FOR REASSIGNMENT
PENDING OFFICER: PERIL X
ORIGIN: CLASSIFIED
BRANCH: HEADQUARTERS
REVIEWING OFFICER: CHIEF DETECTIVE SILIT
CLEARANCE LEVEL: ABOVE TOP SECRET
Officer Peril X is to be reassigned to the ************ server, and is to be awarded the Medal of Meritous Achievment for his valiant service and dedication to justice.
Additionaly, to all of the people getting raged about the fightclub police:
In the words of Soulja Boy: "I got a question, why they hatin' on me?"
As an outsider looking in:
It doesn't seem right for people to go around and purposely try to ruin other people's fun... just because they are "doin' it wrong."
On the other hand, the "fight clubbers" are being a bit too entitled in that they expect, nay, demand to be left alone in Zone PvP... which makes no sense.
So, if the clubbers would just realize they can and WILL be interrupted and stop QQing about it AND the self-appointed police would just cool it and stop intentially pissing people off, all would be good. But I sense that neither is going to happen. Honestly, I think the "police" have the edge here, as much as I hate to say it.
How come these fight club police threads all end up being so epic?

First of all Id like to see proof of this foul language, and that said individual was using a dueling partner. This looks like a snap judgement to me, and probably incorrect. Furthermore if you were serious about sedating your target you would have used your tazer. Instead of webnad and fire blasts. I dont think you really wanted a peacefull encounter. In fact I think all of you FC PIGS R BULLIES!!!

I began with a constraining Web Grenade in hopes of sedating my target, but his aggression only grew as he shrugged off my best attempt at a peaceful encounter. I opened fire with all three of my fire blasts, END REPORT |
A bit off topic, but I find this all quite interesting and amusing.
Many PvPers have traditionally made fun of RPers, yet here we people who are PvPing and are getting more into their roleplaying "Fight Police" then most RPers out there. Having been away from the forums and PvP for almost a year the question I have, and I am quite serious is...
Are the "Fight Police" RPers who have discovered the fun of PvP or are they
PvPers who have discovered the joys of RPing?

I mean, you should see how animated I get on the other side of my keyboard during a close arena duel...
That's not even acting; it's real!
If you MUST duel then hit Warburg or Siren's, find some really tall building and go at it...better yet, Arena. You're going to get attacked when you duel. My advice is, be prepared for that and fight back. That might get you some breathing room.
Sadly, Jupiterian law forbids me from embracing your quasi-medieval exercise.
A pox on you.
