Nice post.

I've always assumed that CF was PK before RP. But after seeing the
responses to this post and apparent concern I begin to wonder.

IMMS actually care about players who play CF just to PK and do their
best to multikill you if you take too long to get your corpse?
( among many other things, OOC "favors" are often overly blatant )

I played CF many many years ago and it was the same way. I am all for
PK, but what I see is just people, juvenile males, doing their normal
juvenile male thing, playing an FPS in text, using whatever resources
they can, usually unrelated to RP and scraping the bottom of the
barrel to Roleplay because it is required, or something.

I am/was/hoping-to-continue evaluating playing CF again. I played
Dragon Realms before it closed, RP/PK/CLANS/WARS, and I am not afraid
of PK by any means, but what I see is something I cannot really
overcome. Blatant cheating, blatant OOC reasoning and motives.

If you'd like to chat about it in an abstract or analytical sense,
you can mail me at cf@kaishaku.org. I do seek other options.
