Anti PKing system - Ok it may not stop it just discourage it

Now i realise that such a system like the one i'm perposing would be hard to make and would take alot of resources but i think it may be worth it.

Anyway here is what I'm perposing: A system could be created so that for every character a small file is created. This file would tell the viewer If the character was killed, at what time and by who. There by if some one was PKed the victim could tell someone and there would be proof that the crime was commited. This would also provide a way of telling who killed you in the case of a sniper. However no one should jump to concultions as a person could use this system to lie and say a person PKed them even if they had a good reason to do so. As an example a person could call somone a PKer if they were killed for casting in town alot, or a if somone was killed if a leagle duel and was angry at there loss.

Anyway I know this idea has some flaws but I think with enough hard work this idea could work.

implementing a"fight" logs is fairly hard, as you understand. but a Batch Patch or osmething might work, or mayhaps wait until email accouning?

Personally, I don' t like the idea.

Unless PKing is really out of hand, then it should be handled IC and not OOC. The few abuses are fairly obvious and lots of witnesses since they abuse it so much.

If it is a one time thing, then take care of it yourself, or form a possee.

there will be troublemakers with or without that system, and there are some "mysterious" characters in the game that has been quite troublesome for a long time.

Martin said....the game wouldnt be as fun without unfair things... not refering to the P.K.s that causes trouble of course, but you get the idea.

I agree that pkers should be handled in character, as it can make the game more interesting with the occasion of a wicked soul mindlessly killing an innocent. Second off, if there were no rulebreakers, I wouldnt be able to play through and avenge those who were killed.

you dont avenge, you just kill whoever killed.

The trouble i have with pking is that i lose so much hard earned skills. But i also think it would be fun to have a serial killer in illarion (for gameplay reasons) because everyone would try and hunt that person down. But no-one wants to die for no reason. And the line between pking and killing for a reason is slim, for instance you could get something of yours stolen or someone throws faulse accusations at you and you get your friend to kill them and the person who dies just think they have been pked, so i think it would be best to just wait till the new client thing after the e-mail application, and then to see how bad it is after that.

getting killed once or twice, I can live with... an annoyance but no great problem...

Now those of you who witnessed the continous killing of that poor elven lady yesterday...THAT my frieds we have to find a way to combat...

In one mud I play now and then, you can go on a quest and become a vampire! You heal/get life by sucking other people's stats.

Vampires usually don't last long, however, as everyone in the game tries to figure out who it is and kill them. And it's a super hard quest to become a vampire.

Just a thought.
