When someone makes a character who just runs around and kills anyone they can, for no reason whatsoever other than they can, that's REALLY not roleplaying. It's just being a ####.

How's this for funstick? Mharl does this once. 5 other people go "Hey, I don't really feel like roleplaying, just PKing, so I'll do the same thing. I'll kill anyone I can, anytime I want, and then just talk like a drow after! Won't this be awesomely fun"? Now we have 5 people running around doing this. It catches on, and pretty soon you have a POS situation with zero roleplay and everyone just running around pking randomly for no reason "saying" things like "I did your mom in the ass!". But hey, they're all drow, and psychotic, so it's all cool right?

Wrong.

Some roles are thinly veiled efforts to get around the RP requirements of the mud. This was one of those, in my opinion. I consider these types of "characters" to be very bad for the mud, because it gives someone the freedom to just be as much of an asshole to everyone around them as they want, with none of the restrictions typically associated with a role. Your opinion may differ, which is fine. I was giving MY opinion on the subject. See, that's why it's called MY opinion. Because it's mine, not yours.
