Player killing policies suck ass nowdays, archwizards come to defend stupid
fuckheads who deserve to get killed. This has became a real flowermud. Player
killing used to be the 'fun' aspect of the game. It's easy enough not to get
involved in player killing or defend against them, so why not let the stupid
people suffer the consequences?

I think that any wizzes (including arches) should take minimal interaction
with mortals. I, for example, was told by one of our friendly archwizards to
stop killing this one poor american fellow who caused me to lose few hundred
ks exp, for merely ATTEMPTING in killing him.

I got killed like hell as a newbie for those insignificant reasons (like
looking at someone). Now when I got knowledge and exp to punish other people,
I'm told that I'm not allowed to, even if I have a reason. This is not how the
things should be :(

Tha's a childish revenge spree. If this policy was not implemented several
years ago it does not mean that it can not be implemented nowadays.
"knowledge" is not required to punish other people. When you're trying to
pkill a newbie, while having 100m+ totals, there nt necesarily many knowledge
is needed.

Just my 1 cent.

For the record: I have nothing against active people who pkill
players that deserve to be pkilled. If a player offends you
verbally (tells you to fuck off, makes fun of you on a channel)
you are certainly entitled to taking your revenge. Same thing
if he kills you, steals your property etc. Ofcourse, there is
a limit to this as well - there's no point in ruining the game
for a person who has apologized a long time ago already and
made amends for whatever in-game damage he may have caused.

Now what I personally don't like (don't know about the other
arches) is inactive players, who log on to bat only to pkill
people, many of the victims being chosen completly at random,
just because you happen to be bored. Yeah, doing this once or
twice is not the end of the world, and you rarely get punished
for that. When it starts to become a habit, and the targets are
mainly people who have done nothing against you, and are way
inferior gamewise, then something is wrong, and needs to be
dealt with.

I agree that archwizards and wizards shouldn't intefere easily
with pkills. However, the chance of me interfering with a pkill
is directly proportional to how often it happens and how useful
you are to the game as such. If you're only here to cause trouble
and piss innocent players (is there such a thing? :) off, then
you will likely be reprimanded. If you're an active player who is
just teaching a lowbie to be respectful to his peer, then I don't
think anybody will interfere in the matter. Use common sense.

I don't have anything against pkills after other methods of reasoning with
someone fail. Highbies who whine about unfair punishments after they pkill
someone often go along those same lines you did: "..stupid fuckheads who
deserve to get killed." How many try to fix situtation by talking or even
explain to the victim why he will be killed or was killed? It's annoying to be
at the receiving end of these argues and not get any reasons other than "yoo
stoopid ass now yoo die", how am I supposed to learn if not told what I did
wrong? I just wish that highbie status would bring wisdom and sense of
responsibilty along with it but alas, it's still the same person sitting at
his computer doing decisions with same capacity as before. Doesn't matter if
his character has +100 int/wis, the way they act and write tells and reminds
us about that underlying IRL aspect. So.. :) maybe it'd be appropriate to
punish stupid people/characters by cutting their int/wis stats to some absolut
maximum to represent more accurately their online behaviour. They could still
be as strong and dangerous as before but not as spellcasters.. haha, that'd be
really something: Act like a moron and you'll be one.

So, if I understand right, unless you get to do all the nasty shit that
happened to you to someone else things are fucked up? Hmm, maybe we should
have a life isn't fair news post. . .
