Title: The Art Of Pking
Post by SullenUrchin on 08/23/03 at 08:57:37
seems to me the more and more you pk the more and more ppl ***** about it and its like such a personl thing now what ever happend to just taking ur @$$ whooping like a man/woman ?? I can't pk some one with out geting a million pages about the hole thing and 12 noobies from stupid little clan trying to catch me, I don't realy see this much with bigger clans like TR and such becuse I'v yet to try and pk one of em but I would gather if it was one of them they probly wouldn't get all huffy about it they would just gather up some of there alts and get u and if they don't its not a big thing I could be wrong but that just seems like the way it is??? am I wrong?

LOL....2 good crits. I bet you don`t have 1 crit that can match any of the stats on any crit in his account. Not 1. Further more he will I guarentee  to have atleast half of his crits to arch well before you get any of yours. That you can take to the bank.
The ole froggy man might not be as strong as he was last week, but he is getten stronger each day:)

Funny, Whenever somebody fails to pk me either because I run fast enough or using a Pacifist, I get whined at by the would-be pker with memos and pages.

What is this PKing? I dont think I've ever seen it being done to me. Perhaps I should leave my clan house a little more often.
Heaven forbid I come across one of you elite PKers, whatever or whoever they are.

Ahh well maybe I'll explore in search of this mythical PKing that I hear so much about, by never see.

It's rare to see a thread that so accurately captures so many of the biggest problems that plague the game today, even though reading SullenUrchin's original post makes me want to cut* my eyes out, he does make a valid point. People take things in this game too far, they always have to some extent, the argument that has erupted on this very thread is proof of that.

The important thing to remember is that this IS A GAME. I cannot stress that enough, if you die, you die - if you kill someone, you kill someone - there's no need to try to abuse the person with words afterwards. A perfect example can be seen right here, or on pretty much any other thread on these forums: 'DannysGirl' says that she has killed 'Tadpole's lower level alts. Wow, how dare she claim to have typed /a (name) over and over! the audacity of someone to have claimed to kill someone's character in an online game, my god. Lucky there was half a dozen people I've never heard of to jump to the defence of the other person I've never heard of!. That really dodged a bullet, had they not posted then maybe people would have thought of 'Tadpole' as being someone that can't accept defeat.. oh wait..

Taunting your opponent in a roleplaying sense can be fun for all involved, but dropping to a level of using lame insults like 'ur a newb'(like in the post above mine) is pathetic.

* Edit because the swear filter blocks some weird words for no apparent reason.

Can we try not to turn every thread into "Who has the better characters"

I couldn't give a d**n how many perfect stats a crit has.

If you kill someone's crits, then fine, well done. It's when they harass you back saying "BUT COM DUULL MY 5 ARCHMMASTER" that really gets me. If you're talking about pking lower level crits, it probably means your crits aren't archmaster.

Do people need some sort of reassurance, some sort of manly-injection they can only get by beating someone's poor crits with an array of heavily armed perfect stat crits? Or is harrassing pages what really gets them off.

Seems to me that any player that has to page someone after they get pked demanding a duel, and I know because I've seen, calling them names like coward, are the true lusers.
So I advise anyone reading this to remember - if you get harassing pages because you killed someone, it means you proved that they're not the best player in the game. If they call you names, it just means they cannot accept that they might not be all powerful gods, and just because they have 50 archmasters doesn't mean they have any right to be.

The whole ego thing is linked to the forum as well, just look up above this reply - you're saying XXX is better because he has more 5 stat perfect crits! Wow big deal! As deval so cleverly puts it, "What one lacks in skill, he makes up for with alts".
It's not what character's you have, it's how you use them that counts, so stop trying to use the fact you have 50 super high level crits to boost your ego so you can insult people who killed you because they're much better at playing.

Well said Simon, well said..

I don't really care if I get pked by anyone. Dosn't really bother me. The only thing that bothers me when you own something that you worked hard for, (gold, items, etc) and its taken from you by somebody that randomly killed you and refuses to give the item back or w/e, then that ticks me off.  (so thats why I never carry anything when I'm not in town ;))  

But face it people, there is going to be big headed freaks in this game that think they are the gods of Nightmist. Like, an orange on a tooth pick! Thats how big!....:-/.....

But there are allot of respectable pkers out there, don't get me wrong. Ones that don't think they are the gods of this game.

No she just wants to start another forum brawl...

But anywho... pking :)

The only TRUE pkers in my opinion are the ones that do it simply for the challenge, Like for example; On another game I play It's usually common to see a character slaughtered by another character, but they usually give any gear/gold/items that drop off the character back. Now why Would they do that? Well its simply really... They like the challenge of the pk more than the acctual rewards of said action.

And like pandilex said, Its not the number of 'godly' characters you have, its the way you use them...

And whining after being pked is useless... you've already died once... just move on and count your blessings... You cant change the fact that you died, and complaining to the pker sure as hell isnt going to help that. Its more likely to guarantee your death several more times.

On a final note, Its just a game. :)

So you've got time to think and plan a strategy in the second it takes someone to realise they are on a square with someone else before they high tail it outta there? I've been a pk'er my entire time on the game, and finding a circumstance where you can plan is next to non existent. You move, you see a flash, and you click the sh!t out of it, that's as tactical as it gets. Now and then you might know the exact location of someone, but that is a rarity, and how many people sit still out of town for more than 5 seconds?

What is artistic is the witty remark you can make in return when they page you biatching about it, such as 'Sorry, my macro slipped.'

lol thats a noobie or childish art forum I admit at one time I let it get to me but I got pasted it still sucks major @$$ to get pk'ed espicaly when you are in the swamps and you have all ur weapons on a thief who was supose to be covert but some how got pk'ed... but I was lucky I paged the guy who got me and asked if I could have my weapons back and he was nice enough to do so didn't feel like making the 20k or so it would take to get my weapons back espicly making it with no weapons at all

..lol, all the current pkers I've seen are pathetic.

Especially the ones that sit one square away from a town all day then post all over the forums saying 'I AM A GUD PKEER'.  Obviously I'm not against pking in itself, but it's an art.  If you aren't going to do it right don't even bother because you all look like morons.

*Don't look a person over 17 times before attacking them - if you don't have the guts to attack someone without knowing their level or equipment, then you shouldn't bother in the first place.

*Don't gloat over a kill - rare exception being if you kill Pandilex in any way shape or form, you may gloat over this all you like.  If you kill a level 9 whatever, then page them saying 'I AM GUD' you look like such a moron.

*Don't use alts - this is the biggy which none of you seem capable of.   Put all your good equipment on one character, use healing potions, use whatever just don't log on 5 alts to go and kill levelers.  I don't know what's harder to believe, the fact that people actually do this and consider themselves good or the fact that they actually try to defend their actions on the forums afterwards.

Anyone that can follow these, maybe I'll have a little respect for you, maybe the levelers or people that actually explore the game will have a chance.  Oh and btw don't pregnant dog about them using alts against you, because if you're these 'big bad pkers' that you seem to think you are you'd be able to take down parties with one alt easily.  Besides if you start the fight you should be able to finish it, one way or another.



Now for all you who know Harky pre-reset, you would know him as the most prolific PKer than realms of Nightmist has ever seen. Merciless, and honest.

I have the greatest respect for him, and what he post is nothing but the truth. So listen carefully, and take notice of what he has to say.

Although Harky's harshness in generalizing everyone as morons until proven otherwise doesn't sit quite right with me, I have to agree with his arguments.

For all those who are getting ready to go frantic on the keyboard now, stating that I as someone who has chosen to NOT pk everything that crawls the wonderful world of Nightmist shouldn't open my mouth, my advice is to just read past my post.

For those who are willing to listen, I am on Harky's side on this issue. Currently it seems that most of those who refer to themselves as "the best pkers" are those who, thanks to a high speed internet connection, can log on the most alts. In the same sentence I'd like to give my respect to the few of those who are perfectly capable of pking with just one crit. (Yes Harky, they DO exist in the game!)

*shoulders her way into the frey* Yup Hi, yeah Im a newb and proud of it  :D my highest lvl crit is only lvl 20 and Ive only been around for a month.
What I dont get is how people make such a fuss over being pked ... Im one of those stupid people that get pked... then rush right back to where i got pked to hunt again (which normally results in me being pked about 5 times in quick succession) and although it is annoying I get over it ... either that or log off untill im not pissy anymore :p

my two cents worth...

I'm not the first, nor the last, to say I'm a player who is not of any great repute, but what I do know, is that a throng of alts is not necessary for pk'ing, and IMO is just plain tacky and weak (see my qoute). Any single player with any understanding of skill in this game would know this. I'm not the best player, but I have my fair share of alts, yet I PK with my solitary little Deval, and as it stands, my PK's to PK'd stands at 5 to 1, and alot of that is taking on more than one opponent. Using a load of alts plain and simply takes all the fun out of it. Sh!t people, if I can do it, so can you.

Surely not everyone's THAT retarded??...

Check out the date of the post that quote is taken from - it's way over a year old. Maybe it isn't as bad now as it was then, to be honest I don't really play enough to know, but at the time I wrote that none of the active pk'ers I'd seen were following that simple guide.

Harky, out of curiousity what was the userbase like when you were this 'great pker' and did people have alts, or just single characters...really you had no choice back then to just use one alt right?

Under 30 characters logged in at a time, but I'm not Harky...

Ok, then my point is even more so valid, how can you compare pking back then to pking now?


Times change.


Edit: just found out you could log on alts back then, just noone used them

Which part of my guide don't you think is valid in the game today? looking back over it, I don't see any single point I made which would have any impact on it by an increase in the user-base.

I agree totally with harky's guide for pking...

And I also think it applies in every way to modern day pking...
