Tale of a just TK

[Kaltagesta]

in beta me and my two squadmates were all sniping [we had a 10 man squad, trying to take a tower and we all died and respawned a little way away]. I was going to take Guy1 in my harraser and Guy2 was going to reaver our way back to tower. When we respawned this guy, A vanu on emerald called Venom something randomly killed me. I asked him why, and he didnt reply.

I respawned again, and he did it again to me and my harrasser partner. The guy2 had already got out. I respawned AGAIN and saw him, didnt even zoon, just blew him away with snipe. he must have had the default armour because he died in one.

Then we were just about to the leave the base building and he turns up again, shoots at me once and then my partner just turns round and slays him with bolt.

One more time, guy2 is waiting outside and im about to buy my harrasser when he comes along again. BANG! guy2 gets him. I know it dont sound amazing, but it looked so cool because we all got him with 1 bolt. Like on tomb raider - mow down a t-rex a load until it has no healtyh, thne kill it with a final shot from shot-*** - it looks so cool.

Anyway, do you think marsman would let us set up a hunt type thing? Like, you know when the Dev's did the 'hunt me' thing? we could host a show and people /tell us and tell us who to get, and we announce it on radio - team, continent, last sightings etc? It'd be great.

Taking my idea of martial law of killing on-purpose tk'ers one step further

[ObnoxiousFrog]

Oh my God. I should get to be in AGN soley to do a "Daily TK" segment.

[1024]

Hey man, it was my idea!

How about: "1024 and ObFrog's Daily TK Hunt!"

[ObnoxiousFrog]

Excellent.
1024 and ObFrog's Daily TK Hunt: Killing Trolls, N00bs, and General Asshats.

that would be awesome. I would definetly tune in to that, i'd put off a hour of my normal PS time to deal with reported tk characters. And then i would just go AFK and let the grief points cool down. I'll have a special self explanatory character name called something like "TKERJUDGE" or something like that. ....yes....im going to set up my character now...

Hey maybe we should make a poll about how many people woudl participate in somethign liek that, obfrog. What'dya think?

I think that if ppl start to listen to these broadcasts and hear about all the TKing that happens in game, that some ppl will be turned off by it and not purchase or support a really great game. These ppl may only be a select few, but these things catch up to you.

That being said, I have a tale of a TK I did and what I did to make ammends.

We had just started hacking into a base. I took up a position just outside the cap room downstairs at a choke point. Nothing was happening so I started to futz around with my HUDs when I accidently turned off the names above the characters. I had Darklight on and noticed a stealther crawling along with only a handgun out. Not realizing my mistake I started shooting. It only takes 3 shots from a Cycler to take him down, and then I get +10 Grief Points. Realizing my mistake I /tell him that I am sorry. He actually thanked me for the /tell and wished other ppl would consider doing the same thing I just did. We had a nice conversation going on until we capped the base.

Just admit that you did it and say you're sorry. Chances are some ppl will be thankful that you at least acknowledged your mistake.

That sounds like a great idea. But we would have to actually message our possible prey to see if the Counter-TK is just or not.

Basically they're talkin about the habitual TKer who just doesn't care about anything else, not the accidental griefer.
Usually they are the ones who apologize, not the asshats as ObnoxiousFrog has mentioned.

[Demdadar]
