Let's go back. Let's restrict PKOK to 1 char per player, and
give a pk timer of an RL month or two instead of ticks. Grudges
are dismissed way too lightly and enabled chars no longer get the
time and care they used to get in the old days.
It's great having more than 1 char to pk with at any given time,
but what it does for me is greatly reduce the effort given to any
of the chars individually and the game as a whole.
PK was never a light choice and PKOK should not be either. If you
want to pkok with somebody, you should stick to that single
decision for an RL month or two, at least. And without the option
to pkok an alt of yours to cheat yourself of the weight of that
decision. Friendly duels? Sure, it won't matter a bit because if
it started friendly, was processed fairly and ended friendly, you
shouldn't have anything to worry about. Nothing will change for
those who are either hard core or just good sports. For those who
relished in jumping, hiding forever and refusing... this probably
won't sound good.
Not too big of a sacrifice, just a bit more work for the imms ;)

You know, when you think about it, yes, back in the oldschool system
it was like, yeah, you can jump and multi and loot anyone you want
but you would have to live with that decision for the REST OF YOUR
MUD CAREER with that charecter, sometimes, past that charecter.
Nowadays, its not like that at all, people can manipulate the
system so that they can hurt people, and harrass them severely, and
still get away with it scot free without any chance of retribution.
Augustus, everyone knows him, he killed everyone all the time, and
what happened to him? He get jumped by a bunch of people, killed
and had his blinding wormy junked, justice served, without the use
of Imm's or PKOK, or any coding. Just a contingent of MUD citizens
doing what they thought was right, like a posse. Castor, he was a
more recent scourge, and one with which I delt with as a Knight even
like two years ago, he was delt with yet again, by the PK citizens
not be Imms, or by coding. And lets face it, this whole talk of PKOK
began with the mass attack on Arsene, that was the point in time when
PK first got pulled, and when the imms finally decided enough was
enough and something must be done. Well, frankly, thats a load of
I dunno, but lets look at the fact. For the about year and a half
before that, Arsene, had been the leader of a contingent of PKillers
who waged a terrible bloody, multi, and looty war against another
group of PKillers, which I was apart of. Now I'm not saying my side
was much better, but in the end Arsene had made so many enemies with
his evil, harrassing ways, that a few guys, which I might even be able
to put myself with decided to end it, we decided that Arsene needed to die
so we went about doing that, and you know, half way thru the MUD was busy
correcting itself, the imms took out PK, and so here we are. The people
no longer able to control their own destinys like we used to be able to
I dunno where I'm goin with this, but to generally say that, before PK
was inherintly self-correcting, and now you've given the bad guys a mean
of escape. Let's face it, in the end, the Grendels got killed off,
Arsenes Knights got destroyed, and the world was safe once again.
Thats really all I have to say,

You have a big pair of grapefruits if you think that you even
begin to compare to the old Grendels, I dont care if you are one
or there are still 8 of them in the clan, but Grendels no longer
inspire the fear and loathing that they once did, they are a shadow
of their former selves, much like PK and all the other clans.

We are the same clan, we mostly just look for fights, we are
bored with this game in general. We couldn't 'inspire' fear if we
wanted to. -shrug- Sorta forced to dual everyone anyway, even
though we are the only clan who is accept all, fights
are still a rarety. go figure.
