Harassment is chasing you around to annoy you by talking to you, paging you, memoing you. The many methods of finding out where you are to pk you have nothing to do with harassment, neither does pking in itself, it's part of the game. As for pacifists being annoying, granted, there are those who abuse pacifist spells to annoy people, but there are also those who don't. Those who train, make gold, and maybe cast the occasional JZ to chat with a friend in peace. JLH already agreed to extend the barracks, and hopefully there will be more areas with undead monsters some time in the future. I am sure if there was a sudden swarm of clerics or paladins, people would find them annoying too, simply because there aren't enough undead monsters for everyone.

| I agree to a certain extent. I always thought having someone stalkerish.. was a form of harassment. *shrugs*

| That's just not true. If you kill someone, and constantly hunt them to PK them, that is considered harrassment. PKing is apart of the game, yes-- but so is leveling. Chain-Killing -is- harrassment.

Clerics seem to like to steal kills too . . . It's not just paci's . . . You healed a Demonic Soldier for 52 points of damage. A Demonic Soldier attacked you with its Short Sword for 33 points of damage. You attempted to cast a spell, but it fizzled out. The Demonic Soldier looks at you with a glint of pure evil in its eyes, its only desire in life seems to be to destroy other living things. The Soldier is carrying a short sword and is protected by light armor. The Demonic Soldier has been slightly wounded. You are too exhausted at the moment. You are too exhausted at the moment.

It was slightly.. I wouldn't call that kill stealing, if it was mort when they came in to kill it then yes but you hardly did any damage to it.

Regardless, when you see someone sitting at a monster, you continue on, finding one that nobody is training at. It's like etiqeut <sp?

I can guarantee you that I am one of those few who don't steal kills with their pacis, I don't cast subdue on other people, nor greater pact, unless asked by them to do so. The only thing I'll do occasionally is cast JZ just for fun. I know a lot of other pacifists who will have the same respect for other players, and it disturbs me to see that those few (the above mentioned examples) give pacis a bad name. Personally I tend to chase after those who frequently steal kills and steal their kills to let them have a feel of it. So if you have any other pacis who constantly do this sort of thing, post names and examples and I'll find them.

In my early Pacifist days, I did steal a few kills. But that was because people were stealing my kills and there were next to no monsters around so that was the only way to get experience. That being said I have never cast Greater Pact or any of those spells on someone just to annoy them. Someone did ask me to cast Greater Pact on them once and I did. And I have only cast JZ once. Kill stealers are annoying. If the monster is at healthy or slightly, I don't see it as stealing a kill though.

| I'll feel bad if I end up stealing their kills. IF someone ends up stealing my kill.. they end up giving me the gold they got off it, no big deal.. but, if the person is going to do it non stop.. then I shall use the skills I do have. Besides, I live in the Zeum.. it's a pretty big size.. so, there's a lot of room for me/anyone else to roam to.

You do realize that subdue makes damage dealt AS WELL AS damage dealt TO YOU go half right.... So really it does nothing to you that is of adverse effect... Its not like it makes you have to use more potions or more mana or something stupid like that... Ok maybe more mana if ur a druid or a mage... ITs not really even that anoyying of a spell... you people get hyped up FAR too easily...

The problem subdue causes for the non-paci player is that training takes twice as long while under the spell. So I can understand how it ticks them off. May as well train in the arena, so I only cast it on other players if they ask me for it, and then only if I like them.

When pacifists first came out, I refused to get one. I thought they were a really bad addition to the game. Since that time I have watched others play as one, and see the benefits of having one. They do make mad gold, they are great to play if you need some "alone" time, and they level fast. Awesome crit for a beginner to play. That being said, it isn't the paci's that are annoying, it is the players behind them who choose to cast spells on others to be annoying. We all put our own personalities into our characters, and they shine through in our actions. I have only cast subdue on 1 person ( a pally) and only because that person kept stealing my kills. I respect other players enough to keep going along when I see someone else on a square fighting something, unless they ask for help. But then again, I only respect those who respect me.

I cast greater pact with my paci on someone else once and only once because i had been in a square where their were three skeletons and had killed one, and was working on the second when this person comes in the square and says I hate pacis so i think Ill steal the kill. Yes he had the balls to say that before he started swinging with his cobalt staff. So i let him have the one i had worked down a bit then cast greater pact on him he was smart he waited while i killed the last skeleton. Then he started to pregnant dog about it and I Smiled as someone stepped in the square. He moved to pk i cast JZ and got not only the gold he stole in the kill but a little more. Before someone says i should have gave it back it paid to replace the mana that i used to save my last kill. But I like most will leave someone who shows enough respect to move on alone. we are there to train just like you and stealing our kills only helps you.. You all complain about pacis. But it is no different than when you use a higher lvl crit to pk someone who has worked all day. I think most are only mad because a paci evens the odds your not stronger than they are because they take strength away make it illrelevant. Their are a few who use them to get revenge on the players who have made their lives hell. But then again there are people who do the same when they get a really strong fighter or ranger. And the post above of the guy who supposedly gives pacis a bad name where is what you said to him. Everything you posted from him was an answer to something you said so where are your words....lol
