Fighting within the Milieu


Recommended Posts

Twin didn't get slayed. He was just saying that the issue is well understood by the players and that slay or not' date=' it did not warrant a re-posting of the rule. He thinks that, wrong or right, it is not a big problem. It would be like logging into your favorite digital news source to see the headline "kidnapping is a felony". We understand that and do not need to be reminded. Twin was lamenting the banality and redundancy of such posts. He would much prefer to login to more interesting and relevant headlines. He is also very busy which is why I am posting this for him.[/quote']

Accurate AND helpful. :]

I'm aware. But after two others already said it was him, and watching him get confused and/or upset it was fun to presume it was him again.

There's a good reason that this rule is continually being rehashed:

People continue to break it, then cry foul when they are punished.

I think what people are mostly trying to say is:

It's pointless that it keeps getting rehashed. The staff has every bit of power to use in game mechanics to make it impossible to break this seedless rule. There are ways to keep "bloody" people from passing a mob, as well as making a room impossible to attack another PC in.

Perhaps (and as Volga already said) these venues should be looked into. Someone else made a point that unless all of you are masochistic, I doubt you enjoy continually slaying people who break this rule and claim ignorance.

That's what it bubbles down to. The way I see it, no one in this thread is arguing or disagreeing. We have an issue that has been made clear by Imms. There are several fixes to it, let's make it happen! :)

1. Just slay them betches that keep breaking the rule. (Masochistic)

2. Mob that doesn't let bloodied characters pass. (Easy fix)

3. Make those rooms no attack. (Can still be abused by the flee-er)

4. Do nothing. (Problem remains)

Just to make an amalgamation of the posts above into an easy, linear, numerical decision.

I understand both Twinblade's and Jibber's points, and the staff is considering some of the suggestions made previously in this thread.

My post was mainly in response to Mali's statement that "everyone knows this rule, and stop posting about it" while he was paraphrasing Twinblades.

Huh....well I learned something new. Honestly, I've been here since day one, helped to test the mud before it was open to public and I always assumed it was okay to run to the road, and chase down your prey to the road if they ran there, just illegal to attack one passed the guy that you tell him if your competitor or observor. That's what always made sense to me since you can't be bloody to pass him. Is it really slayworthy if you attack someone that JUST walked into the arena and is one pace east of the door entrance, still on the road and not actually INSIDE the arena? That being said, obviously I agre that if someone attacks another player past the actual entrance than slay away, they deserve it, kinda hard to do that on accident.

I wasn't really asking if you can get slayed for it, I wasmore saying, Really? Is that REALLY slay worthy? Should someone really be slayed fo following another onto the road while chasing during pk? Now that I think about it, I was slain for that also on my leader of justice, followed a criminal I was chasng into there and captured him on the road, even though he was at awful when he walked onto the road. The only part he imm saw was me and him on the road and my guard apprhending.

Back in the day though, getting slain as rather routine for me. I had four computers in my house, all in seperate rooms, and me and my stepbrother both played, and so did several of our rl friends, so we were often occused of multying. Funny thing is we were almost always playing warring chars. It was almost a daily thing to get summoned up and have to spend 10 mins proving we were two diff ppl. Now one thing illegal I did do admittingly was my step brother did give me a junk character of his. And it just so happened I had dueled that character with senrail, then I turned that character into a well known elder of tribunal which came back to bite me in the arse. Ofcourse at the time we lived 2000 miles apart, but character giving was a big no no(not sure if it still is). I'm pretty sure that's what kept senrail from getting into the HOF though.

To elaborate on my first post, I want to clarify that I am more on the side of simplify things for staff members. Automatic is always better than manual when it comes to game mechanics, IMO. That isn't to say a human touch isn't great when it comes to other things, but this seems like something that is already non-negotiable and cold. Why on earth would staff time be wasted policing such mundane things?

There have been some good points made in this thread, and the staff are considering some of the options that you guys have pointed out. If/when something new comes in we'll let you know, in the meantime please exercise caution PKing around the Milieu.
