BatMUD Forums > Bs > Re: Player Killing Flag
Reason: Pkill'ing in itself is fine! It is a great way to silence/punish the
offender. Alas, desting is, for the most party, a highbie sport and a serious
way to ruin someone's gameplay and hardwork. If a drunk or retired player
runs around with a tiamat box or dest wands, there is no way to fight back.
Which forces the other people to A) retire
play naked C) play only when
griefer isn't online, which in all cases ruins the game for that person.
Idea: Please add a Pkill'ing flag, which can be turned off/on ( with 30day
timer for those that want to try to abuse it), so that those players that want
to play the PVE part of the game can enjoy it without working about
assholes/retired griefers, who's solo purpose is to fuck up other people's
game. And those that want to live on the edge can kill or be kill.(or dest
each other) Furthermore, these asshole/retired griefers bring nothing to the
game iteself, so it would be wise to protect the ones that add something
positive to the community.

a diminishing 1000(?) player base?
Ever thought that maybe, just maybe the 'core' of batmud, by which this
game is mostly ran, is a too small of a group already and it's time for
change? For the more casual side?
Ever thought that in a 5 odd years, the player base will be 20 active,
20 idling + few wizzes, and you can raise your fist and yell
'We'll never give up!'
That'll be fun ...

In my opinion, Acidia does actually have quite a strong point here.
However, it's not one that I happen to agree with, and I'm going to
assume that there are plenty of Bat players, the "core" and others,
who actually like the fact that Batmud provides more than a passing
amusement.
While catering for longer term, and more intense, play probably
results in some compromises/drawbacks, it is something that Batmud
should be congratulated for and something that, in my opinion,
should only be given up reluctantly.
