Philosphy of PK
runboy93:
Good example.
I'm APK+PK (Sometimes I don't kill players when I help them, but sometimes I can't just resist to kill bluesuits)
I don't care what stuff they got I just leave them be.
You can always find that stuff what mostly bluesuits have, but win is thing that matters on wasteland!

I think its all bull shit, I think its more about you group up with a faction and kill other faction members which is still PKing. I mean from my experience if I'm on alt that is known to anti-pk factions, and they know its me they well kill me because they know I am with an enemy faction, and usually works the other way around.

I know what you mean but there's a reason why your alt gets shot. It doesn't matter what your intentions are at the moment you meet those guys but what you have done previously. If you have done bad things from their opinion, you're their enemy and enemies must be shot.
A concerned wastelander:
Playing both APK and PK, I know that both are needed. Its important to make a distinction between FREE PK and PK.
-FREE PK is killing players while being out of character (OOC), you know, players that go over corpses and say: You suck at this game, thanks for your stuff... We could call it PK-GRIEFING, as the perpetrator obtain is joy from dominating less experimented or *determined* players.
-PK only means you kill a *innocent* player. The game is made so that it can happen, this game is not only about PVE, I know I woudnt play this game if it was. Depending on the situation, PKing someone can be done with style and can even be fun for the victim!
-ANTI-PK means not shooting first unless you have a good roleplay reason to do so (i didnt like is face is no good reason). It also means that you will hunt down any PK you can find and handle.
-PASSIVE ANTI-PK means you dont hunt pkers, you dont attack anyone unless they attack you, most of the time you are not even armed! You are some kind of saint (and maybe a bit out of character, since its hard to believe such a person would survive in a world like fallout).
Its important to understand that two ANTI-PK factions can be at war with each other, roleplay speaking. ANTI-PKers of the server are far from being united right now (a good thing for balance).

Ehhhh..... I'm gonna leave that alone.
There is no right or wrong, really. I myself have trouble understanding that concept when I feel "wronged" but I have tried adamantly to weld that to my brain. It just is. Do what you want. People want to live with police state others want anarchy. Neither one is right or wrong, they are simply different, and that causes conflict between the two groups, so they duke it out and "win" however they can. The majority of humans like conflict, an obstacle to cross, a challenge, and generally when there isn't a challenge that fits or is beyond their ability, they MAKE challenges, they MAKE conflict, so that they may do so. Video games, these "Synthetic challenges" are a perfect example of this human drive for measuring their competency, that they make these huge intricate how i called "mazes" or so to see so.
That's all PK and Anti-Pk is. A synthetic conflict created by humans in order to have a goal/challenge to overcome, it just happened to divide people up so that they might fight each other for their cause, just like so many other instances in human history.

There isn't but there's reputation and consequences. If one kills everyone he doesn't know, he will be a man with few friends but many enemies.
