	There are no rigid rules governing engagements~~, however, this does not mean we do not require escalation at all. Rather, it depends on context~~. When no prior context exists, you should generally attempt to roleplay and establish it first. However, some situations reasonably require no prior interaction due to existing context. For example, silently rushing someone who has repeatedly evaded you may be appropriate if done within a reasonable timeframe of one another. Likewise, if a Duke openly declares an assault on a rebel village, battle may occur without additional roleplay. An assassin looking to take out an important leader-type figure like the Duke may do so quietly, given prior context or roleplay.		There are no rigid rules governing engagements.

For instance, type-baiting is forbidden for this reason. You are not allowed to initiate typing and then use that to lure the others into a false of security to attack.
