Re: Playerkilling

I don't understand why all the pfighters usually gang up on others? Actually, Lindros, I think you have an opportunity here to actually answer an interesting question. What is the typical motivation for the occasional "random" pkill? Why is this fun? How do you justify it as a reasonable ...

Re: Playerkilling

Well ... I cannot state how amazed and delighted I am by the workings of this forum. This is *exactly* the sort of productive collaborative spirit that I so very much enjoyed three years ago back on Eden. Amazing stuff!
