How do you feel about PC killing?

[Harmless]

Ah, I see. Having never gone on any senseless murder sprees IG, nor ever having heard of anyone or talked to anyone who has, I can't comment on whatever it was you were complaining about.

I don't get how there was a complaint. It was an observation. There was no accusation in it, it was what I've seen so far in game, and at the end, a bit of opinion thrown in.

I wonder how many players we'd get if it was Goodwill, Accountability, Ginka Fruits ...

I have an urge to sig you once again..

Then you're saying you've "seen senseless murder sprees?" Really? Cause I haven't.

[Qzzrbl]

I haven't bore witness to "killing sprees", but I -have- been ganked by relatively long-lived PCs for, well... No reason at all, really. Got a feeling I wasn't the only one in these instances too.

Took a poisoned arrow from a stealthy a few steps outside of Allanak. No interaction. Hadn't even had time to make enemies.

Another time was in the Labyrinth, not even an hour played, still wearing my newbie gear. I was looked at. Guy left the room. Got sapped out of nowhere, dropped to six stam. Barely had time to look at te guy before I dropped. Same dude.  Mantishead.

Rumbled the fuck out of my jim-jams. *grumble*

...a few steps outside of Allanak. ...
Another time was in the Labyrinth, ...

And there's your lesson.

EDIT: OKAY I'll elaborate to be nice. Seriously, it's not WHERE you were, but WHEN you were there. There, hope that helps.

I'm pretty sure Qzzrbl is well familiar with the Labyrinth and its social-political climate because that's the only starting location he uses. He's just bitching.

One time, there was this mul who killed a lot of PCs... you might classify it as a spree.

I redacted the whole redacted.  Please use more discretion posting on the GDB.  -Nyr

This really isn't redacted enough. This is one of those things I found out over the GDB/teamspeak becuase of comments like yours.

AGH: You should probably have a grace period of 30-40 minutes to think about how IC what you post is. I'm off-hand guessing you've been reported a dozen times for the same offense.

I am, man. But still, nobody should have a reason to off a guy they've never met/seen and still in their Hall of Kings suit.  

None.

I don't care what reason you fabricate to justify it ICly. It's a crappy thing to do.

Maybe he was starving to death and needed the 25 coins your corpse is worth. It's the 'rinth, man. You know nothing from your point of view.

God I wish this ever happened in this game.

[Jingo]

Yeah, wow, what?  Why should you care if everyone "hates you on an OOC level" for killing a PC in a game bearing the tagline Murder, Corruption, Betrayal ?

I wonder how many players we'd get if it was Goodwill, Accountability, Ginka Fruits ...

Really, though, Q, what?

IMHO its part of the problem. People come into the game thinking its DeathmatchMUD. When really its a game about role playing relationships with other characters.

I couldn't disagree more. You say people come in thinking it's DeathmatchMUD... But I've never seen people treat it that way ICly.

I think staff have mentioned before (maybe it was Nyr?) that this auto-kill behavior often seems to be the province of newbs to the game. If they manage to hang around, they realize PKilling isn't what ARM is about and they mature past it. If they don't hang around...they don't hang around.

Just an idea. You can BOTH be right, maybe!

[RogueGunslinger]

Sure but it's never pervasive, nor specific enough to blame the tagline of "murder, corruption, betrayal" Over people who simply come from PK hack and slash muds and have little idea of what RP actually is.

That's a little funny. Sig'ed.

random killing is fucking stupid and you're a goddamn idiot who needs to get culled if you do it

Okay?

[hatchets]

'Random Killing' can be defined as so many things by so many people. While I am not saying it would never happen, there can be more things involved then the victim knows.

Edit: Aswell, the occaisional random whoopsy keeps you on your toes. Once in a while I think there needs to be a Hocky Masked, Serial Killer. heh heh heh
