How do you feel about PC killing?

[chrisdcoulombe]

how does one exactly "spam flee"

Find out ic

[Morrolan]

I think I've only been killed once by a raider.

I had a brand spanking new halfbreed gemmed, and went out salting. A HG told me to give him my stuff. I tried to stand up to him. SQUISH.

My character totally had it coming.

One time on a previous char, a man tried to kill me near Red Storm. We were sifting spice when he pulled a throwing knife, said something about the poison on it being my end, and tossed it. It missed. We then had a kind of sissy fight with knives, before I pulled a lumber axe and hit him hard and he ran, and I chased him down and finished him with the axe. I remember thinking "Wow...that escalated quickly."

"That escalated quickly..."

I wish you could actually enslave a pc. And them not be force stored like. "If you want to keep playing, lets do this" that could make some very interesting rp.

Why would someone not have the option to keep playing? I can't even think of a reason beyond 'I don't want to deal with slave PCs' for this.

And that is a really, really weak reason for a blatant OOC roadblock to what could be IC awesomeness.

I had a mercenary on another game, who worked for the losing side of a small conflict between criminal elements. She was captured, sold into black market slavery and ended up falling in love with her owner. She couldn't live chained and eventually rebelled, killing him to great regret (as well as his wife to absolutely no regret at all!) and escaping. She lived on the run for a really long time, killed several bounty hunter PCs, soldiers and other important stabby-killy types, as well as helping a lot of people out along the way to redeem herself for killing the man she loved. She had a bit of a dark hero type reputation when she was assassinated... while buying bread of all things.

If the staff there had forced the character to be stored, none of that would have happened and a lot of people would have missed out on all the fun, as well as all the spin-off conflicts, dramas and neat stuff that came from it.

I would be absolutely livid if I didn't have the option to just play out my characters enslavement, given how much slavery is a part of the lore here.

I believe the official staff reasoning was something along the lines of almost every pc slave running away, or something.

Dock karma if there isn't a good reason, as well as some good planning gone into making it happen.

There should be little to no need for staff oversight with the role, we have consent rules and by making slave collars only removable by templars / house handlers, or maybe some expensive process you pay for in Red Storm. Good luck just walking out the gate after looting the House armory if the guards imprison slaves for attempting to leave without their owner present.

I had no 'support' or special treatment in my slave role. It happened in-game, I went with it, things happened as they happened and that was that.

If someone tries to cheese the role? Storage. Someone tries to do something ridiculous? Dead PC. Someone openly starts to abuse the fact PCs can be enslaved again? Dock that karma hard.

That made me lol IRL when I watched it. Love Anchorman.

I thought Magickers made everyone cry?

Or did he not know any 'spells' yet?

I hate to say it, but find out IC. Not everything you hear on the boards is true. And many, many things are only true-ish.

Have you seen a half-giant squish something yet? If not, you will. And if you do, pay careful attention.

[PriestlySiren]

Never done it! I -almost- did, the other night, but I was sorta stopped from it. Circumstances, not not being able to.

[Bushranger]

Does PKilling yourself through stupid actions count? Because if so I've PKilled a lot. A LOT!

[Bast]

I only feel bad if they likely didn't deserve it and I am following Orders...Otherwise...OMG it feels great to murder someone that desperately deserves it  more so if they have been fucking you over for a weeks and weeks. Also, I never feel bad when I kill someone that would I have just robbed but they kept spam fleeing while I was trying to rp with them. I do always try to give people a good death.

[Erythil]

I never enjoy it and always do everything possible to find alternative solutions even when it doesn't make sense for my character.

But I have done it a few times.  I would say I'd much rather die to a player than to an NPC.

[IAmJacksOpinion]

I'm not a big PKer, but I do every once in a while. I try to make it as RPd and interesting as fits the situation.
That being said, if you try to spam flee..... I will twink kill the fuck out of your shit before you reach the gates, and not feel bad about it.

[BadSkeelz]

The only PKs I've felt bad about are ones that I've dolled out abruptly (usually because I've keyed myself up so much before hand), or when I truly felt like the other character was getting a raw deal. Otherwise there's nothing quite so exciting as rolling the dice with another PC.

[Kismetic]

Lol, Skeelz, my brotha ...  do you mean, dolled out, like played dress-up, or ...  or this?

[Uberskaapie]

I wish I had been PKed more often. Even without a single emote, I'd rather go to a fellow player than some code. My characters always live forever. Find me and kill me so I can keep trying out new vibes.

Go piss people off.

[Molten Heart]

Most of my PKs are on accident.

Hey, I'm a member of that club too!

And I've PKed others, and no matter how my character my act IC, OOC I always feel a bit had, cause I have no idea how long the other player has been developing/playing that particular PC.

Killing a horribly badly played PC probably wouldn't feel so bad.

[Tuannon]

I tend to find myself in the 'killing is the second or third option' boat.

And for being Murder, Corruption and Betrayal, I find those things are best done in small doses when people don't expect it, that way the experience is far more vibrant and people don't become too comfortable.

[greasygemo]

I enjoy it.

[hatchets]

I love PC killing. So long as its not just random.

In alot of previous muds, I would often choose a religion, and become a pure fanatic. And all religions seem to have an opposite or counter part. And I would set the tone early for pking the other side.

The only thing that seems to be remotely similar would be to be overly fanatic towards mek or tek and kill the opposition regularly. Which very well may be an interesting idea now that I think about it...
