I play on a server with open Banites, Teiflings, drowbloods, and other disreputable PC's with a character that is not lawful. I guess it's a really good damn thing for them I don't believe in cvc unless provoked by the other PC striking first, or there would have been quite a few heads already off shoulders. I can understand the tension aspect, and I do understand it is a cvc atmosphere. I let others have their fun of coarse, if others want to cvc I don't have a problem with it. I just don't like the thought of killing off someone else's concept which they've poured a lot of time into I suppose. And yes, it was meant to be a lame example...even more so because I have seen it done on numerous occassions.
Plenty of ways to have tension without resulting in CVC of another PC. Be creative.
If you're truly want to get at another PC, mess with their family, mess with their alliances, frame them, set them up and knock them down, cut the coin purse from their belt and slide a pile of crap underneath their pillow man...goin straight for the juggular is just amateur work.
