The Art of the PK

[ZeroGravitySE]

Recently you all read that post about that PK event that happen. I'm not here to discuss this. I'm here to talk about what I would do in the art of the PK! Lets say I don't like someone because of there attitude and there face is suddenly becoming ugly? What do I do? I mean I gotta put them down! lol

Basically what im saying is I'm starting to really see there aren't any PK rules on the server. So I was thinking and I would say if your going to PK someone should it be announced in shout? Another idea should you announce your actions? In kinda a roleplaying style? I was thinking of sometype of way you can implant this in the game too, I wanted to hear what my fellow drunken monk's think.

/shout Blank_Name has been challenge to a duel!
/shout Your_Name is victorious over Blank_Name

Shortly after that person can choose to defend himself, or attack back. Back when I played everquest, when people won duels it was announced to the whole server. I know people hate everquest right now, but it was a really, really good idea. So announcing that these actions are taking place would be smart in my eyes. (*ADDED*) It adds a sence of accomplishment, and reward. Also allows others to see whats going on around the world. Also adds meaning to duels/fights. Also adds excitement because there name is about to be posted for people to see!

I don't know but in my eyes if PK is to be fun on a 30-60 people server, I'd like to have it announced so if its a friend. I can come to his side if he needs it. Incase there is a group vs 1 fight. I just have a feeling guilds are going to be hunting me later =)

Just a idea

I know I read something about turning shout off too as a option on another thread, so this would go along with that idea.

(*ADDED*) - I know there is going to be some people that think this idea is dull, turning off shout? Now there are no /shout help im dead! and a real hope of a rescue. Because the shout channel would be disabled. So I mean there is a bad thing to this. But on the servers side that adds to the game too because that means people will lose more xp over a longer period of time. Which would add to the overall xp loss to the server percentage. Meaning it would take longer to level on average. lol. Unless the DM's watch the channel's and they never add the turn off shout channel option.

For the first time ever on this server I initiated a Pk. I know you are all thinking "PHANNY? PK?" Well I was playing Vrirbag, my barbarian when I started party with a fello "Mr.Cloo" (forget his characters name.)
He quite plainly announced that I was quite ugly and said some other mean things to my poor maiden who replied....uh huh....and then remained silent. As we went to the east road I left party and put him on hostile...then went back to town for what i think was a reasonable amount of time. Not my fault he didnt get it.....he kept trying to reinvite me.
I proceeded to pound and chase him around the east road as any woman would do to defend herself from malicious mouthings of squishy mages. Once I had him down I had him announce to the server that
"Vrirbag was indeed quite lovely" in shout. I then rezed him and rejioned party.
I hope I did it right and fair....but then again barbarians are not noted for thier fairness. Was great fun and I think we both got a giggle out of it.
Supposed to be fun right? And in character?
I know this isnt a big character server but I think we all from time to time like to slip into the role and just play.

Peace,
Phantanya

Guys - read the PvP rules. At least it sounds as if no one was angered by this.

[ZeroGravitySE]

so pvp rules are set in stone?

[FunkySwerve]

Only to the extent that if you break them and someone complains, you'll be penalized per the rules.

lol thanks for pointing your powers out.

So let me get the straight? I know I'm new. But PvP is only allowed in guilds and basically in a controlled area? This module is pure PvM? If That is so, then can u add the shout option to the arena?

Why not add a PvP area with rewards, but you take the risk of being ganked by other players? Only in these area's and guild/players alike both kill each other?

I just want some pvp besides guilds, if that really isn't a option I can live with it, but I won't like it =(

Ask a silly question...

Read the guild rulebook and the server rules. They encompass all the PvP rules on the server. I wrote them specifically so that I wouldn't have to write them again. If you have specific questions about one or more of the rules, feel free to ask after reading them. As to PvP outside of guilds, I plan to make some areas of that type, but its a loooong way off.
