The medbots release your body from its restraints on the lab table you're on, and youstand up, feeling a little wobbly. A disembodied voice says, "Thank you for using ourfacilities.

I'm at around 23s as a nanoseer *drool*Bashing, overall, is just so unforgiving to me and my internet connection that likes to sputter now and then.

If you have killed at least 10% of the enemies in an incursion, and that incursion is completely beaten (0% enemies remaining), you should get 2000 regular exp.

What's the purpose of Scattermourn influence if it's not used for calls?I'd personally be more engaged in the RP-resolution of PK if dying didn't cost 1 hour of bashing. As it is, if I get killed, I go sit on my ship until my killer logs out (or I log out myself, and just come back when he or she is gone) because furthe…The cooldown is the santiy cost, which is very limiting.That 1% you left off is acceptable in other IRE games where death costs so little. Not so in Starmourn.I'm more than fine with PK, if it's consensual on both sides. In Achaea, knowingly joining a shrine-defiling group means you're going to get PK'd. In Imperian, entering a shardfall area means you're going to get PK'd.
What I have a probl…I've been told not to respond to someone so they don't get riled up, and then get killed by that person for ignoring them.
"Don't st… (Quote) Yeah, but from the point of view of the one who was killed, that seems like a terrible deal. Not only did you lose marks and experience, your killer got to get yours plus enjoy whatever fighting came out of it.
And let's no…What are the consequences for killing someone, outside of admin punishments resulting from issues? I'm legitimately asking, because as has been said, being open to more PK later is not a consequence for PKers, it's a reward.If you're looking for hard examples, a couple of weeks ago, Lochlioc was repeatedly killed on the Reynolds clone room by Scatterhome due to a small conflict between Scatterhome and Celestine. Lochlioc went through at least 10 deaths (experience-wise…(Quote) That's exactly what's wrong with the design. PKers like PKing, so if the consequence of killing is the opportunity for more killing, is it really a consequence?
In Achaea, if you're a non-combatant that gets killed, the pop…I just put my character name in my signature!My position is that if we're going to be rewarding PK, as was suggested, then there should be heavy regulation so that it doesn't get abused.
Being killed, even just once, already carries a notable cost, so the old IRE policy of "one deat…That argument goes both ways, however; what if someone keeps going around and killing another person, and the admin decide to rule on the side of the killer? It's simpler and safer to just set up exact places where wanton murder is acceptable: terri…Historically speaking, IRE factions that prize infighting as an identifier (or just have infighting as an identifier) have not fared well. See: Hashan in Achaea.
Stability is necessary for a faction to thrive. Then again, maybe Scatterhom…I'd agree to mark rewards for PK if it also comes with a zero-tolerance policy. One indefensible PK incident and you're out.
