Rub two rocks together to see what happens (crafting mechanic check), then approach the other sirs to see if they are adequately prepared for fisticuffs.

If the rock-rubbing did not do overmuch, toss one (at them) with a rousing what-ho, and prepare to use the other to bash some brains in, what jolly good fun.

You swallow a small rock, just because you can. Nothing happens.

You take two fist sized rocks and smack them together. No crafting menu appears. You equip a rock and notice it gives you a +1 attack bonus.

Prepare for fisticuffs! You stagger in an appropriately randomly generated fashion towards the interlopers.

You get a surprise attack with your rock and clobber one of the strangers across the cheek. Their feeble bones break, but they do not die.

Their partner follows up with a severe and bloody drubbing with a stone mace and you dissolve into motes of light.

Do you think any competitive violent-action player would willingly play a game where everyone refuses to be violent on principle?
This game has rules, administrators, and most importantly, sponsors. And it is extremely important that we don't piss them off.

Oh my poor dear naive friend, there is no such thing as peace, there is only the peace you make for yourself. I would so love to frolic amongst the flowers and live life in happiness and sunshine, but that is impossible so long as others exist, others who wish nothing more than to defeat me.
No, we must secure our own peace, make a life we can live in, and one that others could live in too. We must make a nation! One that, while forged with much needed violence, can bring about much needed peace in the end.

We've been respawned every time anyone else kills us. If we want that opportunity waiting out the expiry is the only chance of it.

Just try peace. Trying a whole lot of violence didn't really accomplish anything, and stockpiling weapons isn't really going to make any difference since we were already killed with each of them anyway.

We have the opportunity to break the game with our primary perk instead of grinding away at overpowering the game and just slamming into more walls. There's absolutely no harm in trying it.
