Being different could in theory be an effective marketing scheme, if it brings in and retains players.

I want someone to pk, and creating grief just limits the long term opportunities to create carrion. My legitimate question is: why do you want to drive off players?

Jesus christ you're pathetic	Java	May 01, 2017 01:33PM
It's performance art. Like Infowars. nt	Isildur(VIP)	May 01, 2017 02:35PM
Not he isn't playing. He's banned and he's got principles about circumventing his ban.	Murphy	May 01, 2017 01:35PM
Jave. Same as he ever was.	Matrik	May 01, 2017 01:35PM
Oddly enough, the top 20 muds do not have univeral full-loot policies.	Quixotic	May 01, 2017 01:00PM
Carrion Fields doesn't belong in the top 20.	Matrik	May 01, 2017 01:10PM

I think his idea is that he wants to attract players of only the right mindset. Sort of like you don't get mad if you die in Quake, right? (n/t)	Murphy	May 01, 2017 01:32PM
Except he skipped the "attract players" part. How do we get them to show up? nt	Java	May 01, 2017 01:35PM
I've no idea! That's where he and I disagree!	Murphy	May 01, 2017 01:41PM
Decreases the gap.	Matrik	May 01, 2017 01:44PM
Oh and one other thing..	Java	May 01, 2017 09:02PM
They don't anyway in our current CF where you loot 1-2 things. NT	Sam	May 01, 2017 09:10PM
So does full looting everyone make that problem better or worse? nt	Java	May 01, 2017 09:16PM
Honestly, both. Would make it worse in the short term, but better in the long term. NT	Sam	May 01, 2017 09:33PM
Bingo (n/t)	Matrik	May 02, 2017 06:25AM
Except Frosty already argued against this point	Java	May 01, 2017 09:00PM
Point to a nonvet.	Matrik	May 02, 2017 06:27AM
Shaapa has proven nothing.	Murphy	May 01, 2017 01:50PM
No interest in that. More interested in getting current players to play.	Matrik	May 01, 2017 01:41PM
My idea does not generate grief. It eliminates it.	Matrik	May 01, 2017 01:31PM
My complaint: Dumbass players that think making everyone else miserable makes the game better. How do I fix it? nt	Java	May 01, 2017 01:34PM
Easy. Full loot them and full sac them.	Matrik	May 01, 2017 01:42PM
Easy? It's not easy. PKing is not easy, alright?	Murphy	May 01, 2017 01:45PM
Also, Java was referring to me. I'm not hard to kill. At all. (n/t)	Matrik	May 01, 2017 01:49PM
I have never killed any of your characters. (n/t)	Murphy	May 01, 2017 01:56PM
You might be surprised.	Matrik	May 01, 2017 01:57PM
Then play the loser with dignity.	Matrik	May 01, 2017 01:48PM
Meh. Ain't a type of game I'm interested in playing.	Murphy	May 01, 2017 01:55PM
I chuckled at "mature experience".	Murphy	May 01, 2017 01:16PM
There is a perv in every crowd.	Matrik	May 01, 2017 01:17PM
I can recommend you a few muds dedicated to that kind of experience.	Murphy	May 01, 2017 01:24PM
re Stats	Quixotic	May 01, 2017 01:35PM
I only know one mud that has full loot.	Matrik	May 01, 2017 01:39PM
I bet Armageddon has full loot.	Murphy	May 01, 2017 03:53PM
They are number 1 on mudstats.com.	Matrik	May 01, 2017 01:25PM
Well I don't really want to "kill each other".	Murphy	May 01, 2017 01:31PM
My most prolific character was not PK oriented. (n/t)	Matrik	May 01, 2017 01:32PM
Yeah he had such great influence, I don't even know his name. (n/t)	Murphy	May 01, 2017 01:34PM
I'm ok with that. It's a game Murphy. (n/t)	Matrik	May 01, 2017 01:36PM
Re: It's a game.	Murphy	May 01, 2017 03:40PM
Context required. (n/t)	Matrik	May 01, 2017 03:53PM
"Designing virtual worlds" is the book's name.	Murphy	May 01, 2017 03:58PM
What makes it not a game?	Matrik	May 01, 2017 04:09PM
This is rather interesting	Murphy	May 01, 2017 04:34PM
Is Bartle's stuff based on anything other than his opinion?	laearrist	May 01, 2017 05:33PM
His early works were indeed conjectures from analysing forum discussions like the ones we're having here.	Murphy	May 01, 2017 05:39PM
I'll have to check it out...	laearrist	May 01, 2017 05:54PM
Yea... I wouldn't call that science...	laearrist	May 01, 2017 06:19PM
Citations from the most recent thing I could find for him...	laearrist	May 01, 2017 06:43PM
He's like the only one who tries to study the thing openly	Kstatida	May 02, 2017 12:16AM
Lots of people study games. He just studies MUDs	laearrist	May 02, 2017 02:25AM
All scientific work is opinion. Argumentation is what makes it science. (n/t)	Murphy	May 02, 2017 02:29AM
Uh... No? Supporting evidence and useful predictions based on the model make it science. (n/t)	laearrist	May 02, 2017 02:34AM
That's only true in order for research results to be called "scientific", not in case of science itself	Kstatida	May 02, 2017 02:56AM
Well, a lot of work has obviously been put into it.	Murphy	May 01, 2017 07:36PM
Interesting indeed. Thanks for the write up. (n/t)	Matrik	May 01, 2017 04:47PM
You may be "okay with that", but it invalidates your argument.	Murphy	May 01, 2017 01:59PM
Do they?	Matrik	May 01, 2017 02:12PM
Re: Do they?	Murphy	May 01, 2017 03:02PM
thumbs up	Matrik	May 01, 2017 03:07PM
But I'm a softie. (n/t)	Murphy	May 01, 2017 03:29PM
Sorry I killed you in a pk mud?	Telufial	May 01, 2017 02:45PM
:)))))))))))))))))) (n/t)	Matrik	May 01, 2017 02:53PM
