SPAMKILLING RANDOMPLAYERKILLING
Spam killing and random killing are two terms which tend to get confused
very often. Here is clarification of them.
Spam killing is repeatedly killing (or being killed), to put it simply.
Being killed two times in five hours is not spam killing. Being killed
five times in one hour is, but that is just an example. Killing (or being
killed by) the same person repeatedly in a relatively short amount of
time is spam killing. There may or may not be a reason for spam killing.
If you are caught spam killing, the punishment is denial.
Random killing is killing people with no good reason. This is a partial
list of good reasons to kill someone: clan wars, personal reasons
like revenge (revenge because you or your groupmate was killed),
***ROLEPLAYED*** hatred of someone's class or race (meaning you can
not decide that you hate necromancers or gnomes at level 25 for no
reason and kill all of them - this must be part of your character's
personality, and MUST be included somewhere in your description),
a Heretic applicant killing mages, a Solamnia applicant killing
criminals OUTSIDE a protected area.
A few comments about alignment: neutrals MUST have a reason, and
that can NOT be "I keep the balance." Neutrals can have no race or
class hatred, because they stand in the middle. Evils can kill any
alignment if they have a reason. Goods can attack evils, and sometimes
neutrals, but they MUST have a VERY good reason for attacking a
neutral (as in revenge for being killed by that person) or a
clan war.
The punishment for both spam killing and random PK is to deny your
character. Save yourself and the immortals work, and don't do either.
They not only take up time that the immortals could spend working on
the MUD, they also take away from other peoples' enjoyment of Solace.
