Pkill Spree Offenders Punished

Code: Select all

Hello all ...

I wanted to go public with a set of judgements I had to hand down today.
In the past, I might have not done so, but given the current realities of the
Genesis Facebook chat, I'd like you to hear things from me in an official
capacity on this incident rather than simply there from angry parties.

Just today, two prominent players (one being one of our biggest myths)
decided to go on a spree of pkills that left 4 characters dead (one twice!)
in the span of 24 hours. The spree also included attacks on a few players who
managed to escape dying.

Having sifted the facts and heard arguments from the larger of the two
players, I was able to very much determine that this is not the sort of
thing that is welcome in Genesis. Pfights are fine (see <help rules>) but
these were attacks on people who were not looking for trouble at all, and
who were guilty, if anything, of being a bit sloppy and inattentive with
their herbing and combat practices.

The verdict: Both of these players were sentenced to a death at my hands.

The take-away: Pkilling is okay, but use sense. 5 in 24 hours *will* 
(naturally) get the attention of the Admin, especially if imposed on
players who were minding their own business. 

My hope is that both of the players who I've had to punish will want to
keep playing the game. My hope is also that the 4 players they killed
will also want to keep playing the game.

I know I want to keep playing the game. :-)

G.

p.s. I like both of the players I've had to sentence to a death. Not fun,
     but I feel it is fair and for the good of the order.

p.p.s. Anyone want my job? ;-)

I don't think that killing random people you encounter on your journey is acceptable behaviour. I'm with Gorboth on this one.

those 2 mentioned as killers - yep, like most other legend+ chars in Gen
it all depends on what you call a "script" I guess, but we've been there already

I'm for mutually agreed-upon "warzones" and ROE's made by players though.

Want to Pve? do it somewhere else without fear of retribution. Want to Pvp? Come to the ball and dance.

:D

Tbh, nuking phantom is something I promote, hes a kill stealing asshat that attacks people for only beeing in the same killing ground, so kudos to the both of them the only thing I think should change about this is that they should have killed him 10 times.

And about attacking and killing a few knights and Calians... who hasnt? The DAs job is to kill that rabble :)

And Vallimar... yea I am not divulging information here on what the wizards prolly cried about that :P Hes still an asshat tho and considering that you WANT more pvp in the realm and that you dont actually even need a reason to attack to attack someone anymore why punish them at all? :s I mean sure, I'd be pissy if they killed a wanderer or something, that just wont do :P ALl they did was polish of some asshats and a few guild enemies. Not sure how thats really illegal :P

I don't know who the attackers were or who they killed. If they killed Phantom thats just good, I don't know how many times his script has made him attack me.

In general I don't like unprovoked attacks but if they killed robots thats good but if they just went out killing anyone that crossed their path then they should be severly punished.
