Editing PvP (section)

== PvP Rules ==
The PvP rules in the game are clarified below.
=== Getting involved in PvP ===
# By default, a new player will not be attack-able nor involved in the PVP system.
# There are two mechanisms by which a player can become involved with PVP.
## A player may turn on their personal PVP flag (on their''Gang Info'' page)
## A player may be a member of a camp that is involved in camp warfare.

If either of these criteria are met, 
* '''You are vulnerable to surprise attack on the road'''.
* You can be attacked by the corresponding group of people, individual or camp war PVPers.
* Note that if you are part of a squad that includes at '''least one''' car owned by a gang that meets the above criteria, the squad (and therefore you) may be attacked
* You may perform surprise attacks on the road.
* You can attack the corresponding group of people, individual or camp war PVPers.

=== PvP Benefits ===
* Personal PvP (PvP status set to ''ON'' on ''Gang Info'' page)
** training boost in PvP wilderness events where there is real combat.  The exact mechanism is hidden but injury ("blue") may be required
* Camp PvP (Camp at war with other camps)
** There is no automatic benefit for a camp being at war, however for winning PvP battles a camp will receive bonuses to fame, production, and mechanic rating.
* After all PVP battles, all mechanic and first aid checks are automatically passed.
** This means that injured gangers and damaged cars are at maximum possible likelihood of being saved.
* Any footsquads formed after losing a PvP battle will automatically have no encounters with animals of the way back to town. 
* You can pay a bounty to buy your way out of any PVP encounter, though the price may be quite stiff.
* The camp bonuses rewarded in PvP battles are determined by how much damage is done to skilled gangers.

=== Special Rules ===
* Somerset
** On-the-road surprise attacks can '''''never''''' happen here, regardless of PvP status or camp affiliation, '''unless all squad vehicles are owned by open-pvp gangs or members of warring camps'''
* Shantyville
** On-the-road surprise attacks can '''''always''''' happen between any squads here, '''regardless of pvp status or camp affiliation'''.

=== Additional things to know about camp PvP ===
# Camps can be attacked directly by enemy camp player squads with 24 hours notice. The attack can come only during the camps scheduled open time.
# Camps that lose a camp attack PVP will be vandalized and looted for goods and cars.
# Camps that buy their way out of a camp attack will lose fame.
# Camps that engage in and win PVPs can have up to 100% boost in production speed and 30% boost in mechanic rating.
