If you attack and kill someone I beleive a few things need to exist before and a few after to make the attack kosher in the manner of roleplay.
before..
1. MOTIVE: What motivated you to attack this person? Is it just that they were walking past you because thats bull and those people need to leave the mud..or did you have a decent Roleplay supported reason?
The lack of this is especially common in low/mid ranks..Just a blatant attack for no reason other then to make your char stronger untill it gets deleted due to the over pk trigger, or..you get bored and delete to make another.
After the attack.
DIALOGUE: If you had a reason to attack someone, I mean a damned good reason that you felt you needed to risk your life to take theirs..Tell them why. DO this either before or after. And if you you are a lowbie pk machine with no roleplay skills in the computer lab using up your high school study hall, dont respond to an inquiry after you have killed someone with any of the following.
"SHut up you crybaby"
"I kicked your ass, quit whining"
"fuck you"
"piss off"
etc etc.
Hell even to ignore me when I ask you why you attacked me is, to me, terrible roleplay and it tells me you are here for nothing but killing....go fuckin play paintball or quake or something.
It is my opinion that in the past 4+years that I have been on CF the playerbase has gone from mostly mature college kids to High school/Jr. High kids who Are not here to have a mind expanding roleplay experience, but to show people how tough they can be at a game. ITs because of this that I have said the words "Im done with CF" more times in my life then I can count, but i keep coming back, starting a primo role, and getting aggrivated again...
I just wanted to get this off my chest before I got pissed enough from being mindlesly killed, to delete my new master.
