Everybody knows, that wood-elves of the realm sometimes attack players that have got less than +50 alignment to them. But how does that work exactly?

I recently tried to befriend wood-elves as a pacifist player, and started with 0 alignment to them. I noticed, that getting a quest is rather difficult, because they soon started shooting arrows towards you as you approach them. And even, when you managed to get a quest, you had to run away at once, otherwise, they turned hostile after a short while and your quest was deleted from the red book.

After a hard time, I managed to turn a quest in, and I had the impression, that the period of time, it takes to anger the elves was increased considerably - or the probability to anger them was decreased. Also I had the impression, that there are 3 steps of reactions:
 * Friendly, they say nice stuff and are able to give you quests
 * Neutral, they threaten/warn you somehow
 * Hostile, they start to shoot you

Now my questions:
 * Has someone run some tests, if the time until they get hostile depends on the alignment?
 * Has someone analyzed the code/is capable to do so, to reveal more details?
 * More thoughts about this topic?

Thank you very much for reading.
