Permanent-Kill

[brhhah]

Permanent Killing, also known as PKing, is a pretty vital aspect of roleplaying.

It opens up new storylines, etc.. Question is, how could one Permanent Kill? Perhaps you need to get the "recommendation" of two Owners (not including yourself, if you're an Owner).

Let's say I want to PK William. So I ask two Owners the recommendation to player-kill and they say yes. Now I ask William to a duel in-game and I defeat him. His character is now permanently killed and he can no longer use it. However, if he defeats me in the duel instead, then I'm permanently killed.

What do you think about that?

I say just let the rp run its course and if someone gets killed then so be it. I don't think we need a system for it

100% against this

Easy, you need to RP it well or..
You kill him, he's just Pk'ed.. But it has to have a VEEEERRRRRYYYYY good reason

This isn't necessary as long as the only RPers are good, hardened, RPers, who don't just let themselves go the instant they click on the 'Assassin' class. The problem is that in the cases of a few of our current roster, I'm not sure if they can handle this; I mostly accepted them so that the RP server wouldn't have three people on it all the time. Rules like this, however, would be almost impossible to enforce amongst such a crowd, I fear; you'd have to explain it to them every few minutes after someone kills someone else without being aware of or forgetting the PKR.

I'm thinking that if we're gonna do a lot of RPing for, say, a half hour or so, perhaps we could have a "kill" session beforehand so that peeps could get it out of their systems.

Perhaps after as well as a reward. Kinda like when me and socks went crazy and killed all non-oloists. it was great! also perhaps we can have some violent rp's like crusades where If you did you can just be a random soldier.

Yes that's a awesoem idea.

; I mostly accepted them so that the RP server wouldn't have three people on it all the time.

Well the problem is you accepted everyone as "Knight" "Foreign Guard" and such.. Or you just don't keep watch on what they applied for..

But I think it would be a better idea if we made a thread for it on this forums so other admins can also see, or talk to other admins and see what they think

Permanent killing should only occur at controlled events, really. Not normal RDM... erm... RP-ing. Events should have clear rules for those situations too, so that it's clear when you're permanently dead. No discussion about it. After all, if you permanently died IRL you wouldn't be able to complain.

Permanently dead IRL?

How permanently?... why not just a "little dead" or "more than the usual dead"... If you're dead, you're dead... you can't be more or less dead than others.

True.. True..

How about, this.. "You have to have a really good reason to PK" cause else people will be like "OMFG MY HORSE! FUUUU *arrow to the mans head*"

Picking on words, are we? And how would you know? What happens after death, ey? And what about feeling "dead". Or playing? Come on, let's not turn this into a philosophy discussion, nor a medical one.

The smart thing to do.
