I didn't say people shouldn't take cheap kills. I said people who are/want to be considered badasses shouldn't resort to taking cheap kills. Try and keep up.

But why WOULD he kill someone who he gains absolutely nothing from killing? Roleplay restricts characters actions, but when your roleplay is essentially "I have no restrictions" who can tell if you are actually roleplaying? That's why RP is enforced.

Improving greatly is not the same as "you RP great". A sip of water for a man dying of dehydration in the desert won't exactly save his life. It's all about degrees.

It's not about the fact that I died, which you really seem to have an issue with grasping so I'll just give up on trying not to be a #### and make my point. Not one thread away, Banballow is being lambasted for NOT roleplaying, for doing essentially the same thing Mhar did, with a different character build and less ability and probably a lot more restraint. The character is being called to account for their actions, because they didn't fit within the bounds of their roleplay. When you make a character that essentially has no limits on what they do, how is anyone supposed to know if you are roleplaying or just being a ####? Because he talked like a drow afterwards? It sort of defeats the purpose of enforced RP when people make characters without any restrictions, who kill for absolutely no reason other than to kill. He probably had absolutely NOTHING to gain from the vast majority of these kills, other than another notch. How is this roleplaying? This is why we had exploding hearts, and then distention, because this sort of play was discouraged. Does it somehow make it better that he got to 51 before he turned into a mindless PKbot?
