I'd personally be happy if PKOK all was put in an entire different
category from pkok'ing specific people.
That is, PKOK ALL would simply mean that it'll automatically
accept fights from others that are PKOK ALL'd, and for others
who aren't PKOK ALL to attack a PKOK ALL, they'd need to be
accepted by the PKOK ALL guy.
Of course PKOK ALL should be an irreversible option or reversible
at the cost of 1 redemption point just like before. This will
allow the old school pkers to pk like before -- you don't know
who's after you, but once you do, you have all the time in the
world to pay them back.
That'll at least put some excitement back for me, since I won't
just go around sleeping around in the open, and since I could try
to stalk people who expects and enjoys the occasional surprise.
It doesn't take away anything from people who would like to duel,
since all they have to do is ask the PKOK ALL ppl to accept them,
but it adds some for the PKOK ALL community.

ummm, yeah, that's the way it's set up now, minus
the reversible part. I see no point in saying pkok needs to change.
what you've described is the vode that's in, it's not the imms
faults that no one WANTS to be pkok all.

I think its funny to see Manticore suggesting all the things
that we all suggested before already.. Poor guy, haha, he thinks that
it might change or something. Manticore, we hear you, but
we have been through this entire discussion a million times while
you were in the service. Its almost funny to see your posts coming
after we have all given up:(.
after we have all given up:(.
I think PKOK is here to stay as it is... its a dead issue! I admire your
strength:)
PK thesedays is all about duels. Those psychotic rivalries we used
to have with Dusk, and Demitiri, and hm.. all the way back to Mordred
... even Arsene.. are all gone. Its all very polite thesedays. Imms have
tamed the likes of us for the better of the society.
Everything is sooo safe, so clean, so perfect.. cause we have no other
choice.
A VERY important aspect of human nature has been controled.. CONFLICT.
Without it, everything is so -YAWN-.. hm Im getting tired. Ill sleep out
in the open somewhere. How realistic! Conflict, hm, I miss it. The
concept of LOSS.. and real danger.
Obviously, we are just elitists. I dont fear anyone or anything.
My resource pockets are deep... and so are yours, Manticore. WE
dont need the kind of protection that PKOK offers. We can take care
of ourselves.
Thats because we studied this MUD, and learned it, and spent time on
it, and ran for our lives, and had to face dangerous enemies as young
apprentices. We are the last of a group of elitist players. PKOK was
installed to protected inept pkillers from the mastery that players like
us have achieved.
There is no motive to master this game any longer. We arent going to
get the way it was back. There was too big a power difference between
players.
Btw, these are my opinions and my ideas. If you are one of those people
that depend on legend as more than a game, and need your social circle
to be safe and sound, then obviously you disagree. Flame all you want.
You guys are obviously the majority around here (hence PKOK).
I, and the elitist pkillers on this mud, are obviously the minority.
We lost everything we like about this game. Go ahead, kick us while we
are down.

Arrrggggghhhhhhhh! i know i wasnt ultimately as aggressive as people like
Dune,Manticore,Mac,Dusk, etc.. but hey i fought as much as they did
and I miss it! i still say pk clans should be accept all to each other
because the alternative they have told me wont happen
(Having ALL GM's accept each other), if they have that choice
to just hunt and ignore others they will do it, but there HAS to be
a difference between PK and RP clans besides PK clans lists
overriding personal lists. Anyways, school is starting back up in 3 weeks
and i plan to be as active as i was last semester and I really want to
pk like before darnit!

wow, dune hit that one right on the head... he expressed the exact wat
way- i felt about this place, there is no real reason to master this
place anymore, there is no real reason to keep preppies on you,
there is no real danger, and worst of all, there is no interest. This
mud will never be able to go back to the way it is, the power of this
code has forced anyone who really liked to PK, to go somewhere else.
There are plenty of options for us in the gaming world, the real thing
that kept us here was that we knew this place well, and we knew how to
master it, now i find myself playing diablo 2, or simply just catching up
on some sleep, i really wish that i had an option, but if i want the thril
of the hunt, i can no longer go to legend.
Just how i feel, and i am sure that many other true pkillers feel the same
way.
Fuego, Zaba, Floppy, Sincere, and im sure many others, as well as
my player

I don't consider myself nearly as aggressive as many pk'ers, but I do
like to think I was one of the elite. I spent hours on end figuring
out ways to be prepared for random jumps, and knowing that I could get
back at the person when I chose (well, when I caught them in the open).
I haven't really noticed who has left or gone mainly inactive, mostly
because I myself have already done so. I check back in now and then
but it's not like before.
Have fun guys, I know I used to.
