I don't think I wrote a post of that form today, but having immorted around my second character I'll respond.

On the contrary, I think it's meant to encourage you to realize that even the "big things" in the game are not necessarily beyond you as a newbie.

Actually, that's not the point. You don't have to be a great pk'er to be immortal, tattooed, or cabal leader.

CF was my first mud.

I'm guessing it was the first for some of the people saying similar things, as well, or near it.

The point isn't that some of us came out of the womb ready to run down Eastern Road blindfolded and bashing passersby. We weren't great killers at first. That came later. Oh, did it ever come so much later.

With my first character, I personally died until the cows came home. PK-wise I was at least as terrible as you could ever hope to be. I tried to call down the thunder on someone once, but I had to do it collect and it wouldn't accept the charges. We didn't "succeed" (if you want to call being tattooed, etc. that) because we were death incarnate badass types. We succeeded because we were too fucking dumb to give up. Frustration delete? No way! This character is like 20th level! That's huge! It could take weeks to get that high again.

We took our lumps (and the lumps of others generously shared, I'm sure), stuck with it, and eventually managed to learn something. If you RP and stick with your character, getting these things is not out of your reach.
