Just wanted to add that the problem with "open" pkill policy, ie kill all you
want, is believed to be that then some players would massmurder newbie all day
long and spoil the gaming experience for those players.

I'm not sure this overall view is correct. Sure the slaughter would go on for
a week or so but then I'm pretty sure something would be done about it on a
player level, because a confirmed massmurderer would be very much free prey
for the rest of the players. The problem with your regulated pkilling games
are just that, they are mini-games inside the game, without the tension of
real conflict or history.

I am very thankful to those maintaining the games, and while I'm perhaps
stepping on some toes here, I don't think wizards should intervene with how
the player-to-player interaction is carried out. We need those bastards,
murderers and cocky sons of bitches here to make the overall gaming enviroment
exciting. And we, the players should be the ones taking actions on players not
following our ever evolving code of honor.
