Delrof 381 Share Posted March 18, 2015 http://prntscr.com/6ih2q5 Alright so apparently this new rule is or has been implemented, and I wanted to clear up a few things as it's not quite.. clear.. Say if I was killed in RP but I had my characters head cut off, would this mean I would be PK? Or would it mean that I can still be revived? Another thing is about PvP, if I was killed in PvP, and then the people killing me decided to sentence me and emote cutting my head off, and the above rule was valid, would this mean I'm Pk'd? Because I certainly do /NOT/ want to be Pk'd with PvP. In short, I'm confused as to whether this just means that if you don't fear death in RP, you're breaking a rule or that if you get killed in a particularly gruesome way, you're Pk'd.. I hope someone can clear this up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkelos 1027 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Nah, from what I understand if your attitude is bad and you just say "Fine kill me" oocly, then with screenshots it will be an enforced PK. I'm sure proper RP would be needed for the death to even be enforced. I might be wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyndikate 2303 Share Posted March 18, 2015 You're fine. It's just that if you say "**** this. Kill me. I'll just be revived." You'll just be permakilled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destroyer_Bravo 1054 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Can you say some Duke Nukem esque thing like "I'll be back!" or something that's alluding to returning, but not outright saying "oh yeah monks'll grab me"? Of course, not in a toxic way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delrof 381 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 The answer is no, in the scenario you described you would not have to PK your character unless, you emote/say something along the lines of. *isn't scared of dying because monks. or "I'll just be revived by monks." The whole point of the rule is to promote fear in RP. Your character saying that they will wake up at the monks is in fact metagaming due to the 30 minute memory rule. So long as you roleplay accordingly, then you should be fine and will not be forced to PK your character. Well by that logic, great! It really annoys me when people don't RP fearing death because it ruins everything I've built up for in a fight, a death, regardless of PK should be dramatic so I'm glad this has been done. Also, thanks for clearing that up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Saying "fine kill me" in OOC because you're being spiteful also counts towards this rule. Let's see. From time to time, you wake up suddenly at the monks, then sometimes when people witness what happened to you they tell you you got killed, and monks revived you. I don't see this rule as logical, and it seems something a 4 year old put together for "you dont get to do this bobby"... Can the rules be phrased by someone with the age to contextualize and comprehend? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space 2335 Share Posted March 18, 2015 As everyone said, no, it's only when you do it to leave RP. But, since my ability to post topics and such is limited, I might as well post my thoughts about the rule on here; I think it's dumb. Yeah, it's really easy to avoid, but it just takes that one time where someone is frustrated at their RP and they aren't thinking so they emote something that could be perceived as suicide. Then their whole character is taken away. All their RP. It shouldn't be so final. PKing shouldn't be enforced ever. Also, the rule about perma-death posts; I think it's silly. It makes people who want to go back to their character after making a mistake unable to, which I dislike. Yes, they posted the death knowing what that would mean, but still. And, pretty sure a few GMs and admins have brought back characters from perma-death. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdwhisperer 1174 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Let's see. From time to time, you wake up suddenly at the monks, then sometimes when people witness what happened to you they tell you you got killed, and monks revived you. I don't see this rule as logical, and it seems something a 4 year old put together for "you dont get to do this bobby"... Can the rules be phrased by someone with the age to contextualize and comprehend? It's been stated in a few places that the monks are partially an ooc mechanic, and acting on the knowledge that they'll save you is metagaming. In addition, the monks don't always save people (or no character would ever be PK'd) so in RP relying on the monks is more of a gamble anyway. And either way, having no fear of death because of the monks is just really, really disruptive to good rp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
