Against a mage who isn't there, or is perma invis and thus not ranking for or otherwise exposing themselves.

Your solution doesn't seem to address the supposed problem that you say it will.

At the same time you are claiming that those arguing with you just want easy frags on applicants and are serial Mage players. How can that work with your other claims about no fights to be had? They can't frag you if the aren't on and are never fighting you.

So either they want easy frags and the fights are there to be had, or they don't and your accusations as to why they are arguing with you are misplaced.

I can tell you I play both villagers and magi. And yes, you get the odd period when magi are thin on the ground. but they pass and you do find them. Last villager I played who couldn't see invis through race or class, got 7 pre induction kills and didn't get inducted into his 40s, because he was too proud to ask. Magi do try to jump you and you can jump them pking. Maybe make a point of advertising that you don't have detect invis to encourage them more. Don't forget, magi also need to pk to get inducted (squires need an evil pk and scions need to show competence), and a village app fight suits them just as much as it suits you.
