Absolutely. You can play in such a way as to maximize your pk ratio by cheesy means and you can play in a balsy way that looks bad if you just consider pk ratio. But what I'm saying is that being a goodie puts you at a disadvantage. There are more situations where you're going to die or not be able to kill someone. If you want to look at a complex analysis of whether evil or good has an advantage, you have to take that into account. While pk ratio isn't an important thing by itself, the fact that a goodie is forced to take bigger risks means something. And the fact that an evil has more opportunities to get kills means something. It doesn't mean *everything* but it isn't irrelevant either.
