A) It means that there's often very little to gain from fighting them on the other side of things

B) If you don't perm them, it's technically a "win" for the witch / necromancer, of which they will be certain to remind you of in their lose RP. 

Of course this is a roleplaying game, but, I can't lie and say that it hasn't kept me from getting involved in fights on more then one occasion. IC is IC, but after my five dangers are farmed, I'd rather just avoid the personal risk of engaging with antagonists in the wilds. There isn't much to gain from it on my side of things. I'd like to think I'm not the only other person discouraged in this way. It's an RP game, but I can't say it's a fulfilling experience at the end of a danger when the other person undermines your win like has happened in nearly every necro / witch encounter.

I think that there's probably better systems to encourage antagonists to push conflict, that's more satisfying to watch play out for both sides.

Firstly the thought that disengaging in conflict due to having hit the benchmark of five dangers, is inherently an OOC one. I personally can't condone that sort of thought process, the world is intended to have a consistent level of conflict. 

Secondly the witch hyperbole has got to stop, it's frankly unfair to spew misfortune's own propaganda.

Thirdly to elaborate - Necromancers earn quite literally fuck all from winning, or losing a danger. A necromancer has to successfully inflict a permanent injury on a foe to gain undeath, or harvest a corpse. (These require winning, and high stake battles and good RNG.)
