Was playing in a pathfinder living world. Some sessions are marked pvp, but if a player has a bounty, then other people can choose to initiate pvp with the bounty person. There was also a system for having duels with peeps, to settle some conflict and do bets or such.
Near end of a session which did not have the pvp tag, My character tried to challenge the bounty person to a duel with condition that if lost they would turn themselves in.
Now the immediate thing that happened was a few minutes of conversation with the bounty person explaining why they did the thing that got them bounty and why they shouldnt be turned in.
Then part way through this, a different player character sneaked up behind my character with a dominate person magic item and then the party handed my character off to a group of apparently paramilitary paladins who then proceeded to torture my character. Note, my character is a lawful neutral wizard with some controlled zombies. Though the paladins did also on sight accuse a summoner of being a demon summoner (calling their eidolon a demon)
And then later when i tried to ask why challenging a person to a duel initiated pvp (again, at that point my character and the bounty person were just talking) (party wide pvp at that) most of the people just answered with "because the dm said so" without answering any of my questions of what my character could have done differently to have a duel under the specific duel system they have without it just going to party wide pvp.
My general question: the ****?
