Shattered Kingdoms

I received a ramdom tell yesterday...



So after an ooc tell or two, it transpires that this person is new to sk and was killed without any real reason. I have purposefully excluded both the killer and the victim because I am not meaning to point fingers at either, just use it as an example.

I am not waving a holier then thou flag about either, because I have recently done exactly this and it was dealt with by an IMM. I posted it here just to remind people to spare a thought before killing lowbies / newbies.

Yea that would have happined to me with my elf the first time I started playing not knowing any thing at all, I just talked to the person oocly and they stoped and it proved fun roleplaying after that with that certin Deep-elf.

That was me.

I loved every damned moment of it. Enmity for the win. And no, I didn't kill him.

oh - then forget I said anything, they gave the impression they were 'killed'... I knew who it was, never even thought about the emnity thing.

edit: I should use my brain every once in a while... enmity played no part in this.

No, that was me that rped with Adroan. That was when he first came to the mud. I have no idea what this new thing's about.

That's right kids. Its polite to send an OOC tell to someone you are going to involve in a PvP battle. If you don't know your enemies name, perhaps its best to retreat, regroup, and do some recon.

A

What are you on?

He's high on death.

Blast it, you beat me to it.

For one that has been in town raiding parties, where the group kills anything that moves. It is polite to send anyone your char doesn't know a tell telling them that it wasn't personal and it was a raid of sorts. If you know the person you killed was newbish, most definitely do something to show that it wasn't personal and doesn't happen all of the time.
