I did say it was just my opinion. I accept the fact that things that seem very obvious to me do not seem so obvious to others, and vice versa. I've played some characters who have killed several hundred and only fallen once or twice. Fine, great, whoopty-fucking-do! I've played other characters who killed just as many but deleted with a con of 13. I had alot more fun with the characters who lost a good chunk of con. Why? Because I actually took some chances with them. Because when after killing the Knight leader, and being summoned by a Paladin and an Assassin I cleaved the assassin then slept paladin, killed them all, and laughed. Maybe I can't brag about the time a group of 5 was raiding the citadel and I decided to try and cleave one of them on a whim and died horribly, or the times a necro of mine failed a sleep on an axe wielding warrior and died before I could blink. The way I see it, this is only a game. When you play a game you should take some chances. If success is certain it really is not much of a game. Anyone who depends on others to the point where they are not taking chances is taking alot of excitement out of the game. Have I said the gang-banging is inherently unethical? No. But this is what I was thinking when I said 'Pking is not meant for players who have to depend on others. In my opinion, if you can't pk alone you shouldnt pk at all.' After thinking about what you said, and my stance on it, I will stand by my original statement.
