[regarding a comment about one thing being bullying and one being conflict RP] <<Problem is nobody can agree on which is which.>> If, in said hypothetical situation, you attempt to smash someone's gweth who might have gwethed 10-15 minutes ago, but hasn't used their gweth since then and is currently standing in the room with you disagreeing with your friend and you're just trying to see what you can do and what you can get away with to annoy or inconvenience that person, then that should be a pretty clear indication that it's unacceptable. The Gwethsmashing system has features built in to it that prevent you from actually successfully smashing someone who hasn't even gwethed in the very recent past, but that doesn't prevent the system from alerting the staff that potential abuse is taking place or has taken place. Assuming a staff member was already watching the hypothetical situation and saw that the "muscle" was already throwing around THUMPs at will (borderline, but in itself not too bad, although this is another situation that sets off alarms so that GMs know to look in and see why multiple people are repeatedly thumping the same person), this sort of hypothetical escalation of the situation by attempting to Smash someone who was simply disagreeing would push said individual too far into the Grey Area to be acceptable.
