At some point Razhak someone on your side has to take responsibility. Who is the high ranking fade there? Forget the rank, who is the better pker who should set the standard for pk?
It is not about that one pk obviously, nobody cares about that. But do you think anyone on LS who posts logs like that against xrace pk would get into Lancers or Gaidin or most pk clans? They would not. Yet we have DS masters and remorts glorifying it and you dont' even see the problem with that kind of pk culture.
In the 2 decades I played here, I have been lamed on, and I have lamed people. I have killed and been killed. I was spared and I have spared. I have laughed and been laughed at. I was frustrated, and I frustrated other people.
I however am not responsible for other peoples playstyles or some glorified notion of PK culture that has never existed in the way described or wished. What is the current biggest problem on the mud is the smaller playerbase, who are currently always in immediate contact through Discord. Back in the 2000-2010's, you had some friends chatting on messengers, and you had this weird IRC thing where most people never went unless there was a downtime.. Now ever action has an immediate reaction on discord. I also do such so, I admit immediatly, but I am unsure if its making the mud a better place.
It used to be that when you did anything on the mud cross race, then that was it, it stayed cross race. Now the REEEEEEs and "you suck" and whatever immedialy land in the Capitol-of-Utah thread (brilliant name that :P ) and tempers and emotions rise accordingly.
Today I thought about this matter a bit when someone told me their story, and it seems that everyone should think about this a bit.
So call me out for my own actions, but dont make me responsible (or anyone else) for socalled "pk cultures" like I or other people are something akin to the mud-PK-mores-police. It is not like most of such calls come from people who are not actuallly in a pot-kettle-black situation anyhow...
