No matter what anyone says, there are some plain assholes in the game. Now I am speaking of the 11-40 range where there are these jerks that Kill someone then kill them again later that same day. Oh they try to justify it in RP on how it is perfectly justified, for them to be a complete ass, but they still smell. (I am not refering to Cabal raids but about the people that are just tring to gain a rank or 2) Killing the character the first time was fine, and I have no problem but then whilr they are tring to find some clothes you force them to leave the game because you are going to keep killing them till they do. You make the game weaker, fewer newbies will come and the game will eventually self destruct. It is called zero population growth.
If you need ideas on what to do, how about you really role play. Talk to the person the next time you see them (you don't have to do it right away as some people are a bit ticked they just died but give them a little time and instead of hunting them down again open your mouth). If you are empire try to explain the virtues of becoming a blood oath. If you are a Dawnite try to explain the sadness you feel as you have to kill them for causing pain to others and how good it feels to do good. Make it a role-playing game not just a Quake game of run around and kill. Even the Scarbites should talk to there kills, they want to change the world, a few words might make more sence than constantly killing someone.
Well flame on
