4. PVP Initiation can begin in two states, active or passive initiation. Active Initiation against a player occurs if they are a clear, active, and dangerous threat to you or your organization/party members. Passive Initiation against a player occurs if they are not a threat, but are being uncooperative, extremely insulting, or they fall under harassment rules in General Rule 8.
5. If a player does not follow your commands, and the roleplay situation is within the rules, you must threaten the player to begin initiation by providing a proper warning.
