Now this, is epic.
Editing because I realize I could plug something. I think when your character is in a high up position, such as NL, they should most certainly fall under a PK clause UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS.
Raiding without planning in RP beforehand, banditting, and other low tier effort roleplay need not apply. However, if we were to use a system akin to, say, heisting or some such, then it would be more digestible. Trust me, I remember the day when the Oren Emperor got JFK'd and lived because "I dun wanna PK", and then the entire nation had to BS a reason why their emperor who was very publicly murdered is now walking the streets.
In general, I'm an advocate for first death PK with legitimate roleplay, and I feel as though monk revives harm narrative as a whole. But that's just me.
