PK/PVP and you.

This is just a quick post to clarify Starmourn's PK (player killing, or PVP) rules, and what the etiquette is for attacking other players.

Note: This applies to your player avatars, I'll post up more information on ships and space combat soon.

We're operating on what we call "roleplay pk" or "roleplay pvp", where if you have a valid and justifiable reason to attack someone, you can.

This does not mean you can attack other players repeatedly just for being a member of an opposing organization. Neither can you justify your behavior by claiming something like "my character is a psycho killer!" A player must have done something serious to you to warrant an attack, and they must be aware of the conflict before you attack them.

Those of you who go around regularly attacking players because they belong to an organization you dislike, look at you sideways, or for any other weak reason, will incur administrative punishment.

At the end of the day, just remember the golden rule of gaming, "Don't be a jerk". We're all here to have fun and enjoy ourselves, so don't go out of your way to spoil that for others.

If you enjoy the thrill of combat and want the heart-pounding excitement of "full PK" or "open PK", we have a system called Lawlessness (HELP LAWLESS), that you can toggle on and be open to attack from anyone at any time!
