It's not too far away, but I would like to conclude business before heading down.

Yeah, I don't remember that either. I sort of remember Blane just showing up one day...
But I was gone for quite a while, and like Magatsu said, it's cool either way.

I think you usually do need to, you know, let the NMC KNOW you are joining it though... Then again, I haven't seen anyone from the Elorian Lancers around here since like, 2007... By the way, it's sort of off topic, but I'm wondering where your offical stance on PKing is. Here, you make a wide, rather untrue generalization about how much you dislike them: PK'ers are cowardly bastards, hiding behind a Dual Nature tag makes it worse. And here, from brainstock, this thread: z14.invisionfree.com/Brainstock/index.php?showtopic=8026&st=15You express dislike for people working against PKers. Pking is a legit way to play the game, Kevan wouldn't have allowed other players to attack you if he didn't want the game to be played that way. The RG and the demon tool combine to seriously piss off a bunch of PKers who enjoy playing the game. IMO if someone takes you out, you take them out. None of this going to report the guy so someone else can clear them out. Thats just cowardly. I am not a PKer but I really do sympathise with them, its a game, its suuposed to be fun, getting put on some database to be hunted by you "Bounty Hunters" is not fun. |

My stance on PK'ers is a strange one. I like the ones who fly their flags in all weather, and Red Rummers who are just awesome. I hate PK'ers from zed groups who deliberately change tags in order to get revived and GK and PK to weaken survivors. I also like the fact that PK'ers kill stupid people so that we don't have to |

Well, I'd say that's a stance I can very much agree with ;D

Well, I have a rummer, but I usually use a non-existent group of my liking to have as affiliation.
And I always say something. Even if I have to stay in the building I just killed someone in.
Lately I've been using movie-quotes as my kill speech, I did the whole Milkshake/drainage monlog from There Will be Blood. Needless to say, it felt awesome.
Oh, and I totally agree with that stance on PKing. I'm not much for greifing, and I try to have fun while PKing. It's just no fun to only strive for most kills you know?

I'm a PKer and more recently, a Malton Marshal, so I'm sort of Blane's natural enemy I guess. As far as my "moral code" goes, I try and heal/help low level characters, and mercilessly kill anyone with freerunning and at least two other useful skills. Since killing is stupid unless you have fun with it, I always try and say something remotely witty, and usually try to put a smile on their face when they log on to find that someone has shotgunned them. Greifing is stupid, though I have been known to cross a few suburbs to kill people who are just jerks. As for bounty hunting, I joined the MM mostly because of the DEMON, which is really helpful for a lot of things besides hunting PKers. Infact, I don't think I've needed to use it to find someone yet, I simply use the UDTool with a RG list put into it, and run across 5 or 6 black names a day. I really enjoy the challenge of it, since it's alot like PKing, but you have to put the effort into finding specific people to kill. I try to stick to KOS people when I can, and don't kill anyone with a bounty lower than four unless I know them to be PKers who aren't reported yet, or unless they are someone I know and am trying to clear their bounty (revives are supplied). Once again, no point unless you can leave a smile on someone's face, and I don't usually kill the same person more than once unless they kill me and say something witty that I must reply to, or if they are text-rapists. I do agree that the Rogue's Gallery is very flawed, but it's the best thing that's out there at the moment. And it's more or less perfect if you compare it to the fairly widely accepted PK/Zerg list over at the Rezzen forums. |

Yeah, I try and leave low lvls alone, unless they're in a group that's really annoyed me lately, or have a name suitable for a joke or two.

If I recall, Blane said something about bounty hunters being the stupidest people in existence, or something to that effect, on Brainstock. So yes, natural enemy, in a classy sense.  Actually, that seems to be an opinion shared by many NMC members. Perhaps I've outgrown the place.  Oh, and Harrison, I think I'm actually up a few on you, boychik! |

@ Harrison: If they don't change tags, they're fine by me. @ Taito: I am an ARCTIC fox. The regular kind are idiots, they have crappy camouflage @ Priz: Yes.. I hate the DEM's little archive on PK'ers. It is the most useless thing ever. During Pitneybank (yes, im still going on about it ) there were an insane amount of survivors on there for killing PK'ers who were not on the RG. I was there, so was Tom, Nazdreg, Xombiewannabe, Spencer J, Albub.. etc I may one day turn TNR into a "neutral" group so that we may fight alongside survivors and then slaughter anyone who annoys us. Ah, that will be glorious.. |

I agree it's very flawed, but still, I don't see much else better out there in that respect. The way I view it, it's the same as any PK list that the TNR (just an example) would have, but made public so that it's more complete. I can't really agree with your particular argument against it. After all, you could have just reported the PKers, then killed them constantly without reporting your bounties. Just cause it's flawed doesn't mean it can't work to your advantage I do think the concept of "former" PKers being able to post on it is bullshit, though. I've been in the MM for a week, and I've already had to apologize for killing someone who was only on there because he was in a war with a PKer who chose to report him. Well, I didn't have to, but it seemed like the right thing to do... If you ever feel like running a PK alt, let me know. There's a little group around here that happens to specialize in killing people that annoy us |
