Hello.
If anyone cared to read my post, I said that after a while the only thing that is some fun is killing others, and I, as Laeg, has done a bit of killing myself, and of course gotten killed too.
The difference between the hunger games and survive the wild is that dead people can't come back really, unless there was some secret necromancy involved
This game's headed to be as realistic as possible, well if that, you'd not start at a beach completely vulnerable, if you woke up unconscious you'd probably have to climb from piles of beach trash or w/e or if you were conscious all the time you'd not just get into the situation practically begging to get shot.
However, what is realism really? If you want realism, go out in the real World. You want to have fun, compete, kill time, socialize? WHatever your need or reason is.
I thought I had some honor, but I slaughter new players just as old. However, a game needs to try and accomidate all sorts of people, or at least all people that possibly play the game.
One of these player types will Always be newbies, it's what keeps a game growing and reenforces it.
I just had a splended idea: when you start out, other players can't shoot you but there's Always the possibility to get "the mark of experience", which toggles a pk flag on you. With that mark, other players will be able to kill you and loot your sorry corpse, and you're likewise able to kick their balls in if they try (should you be able to do so lol).
It is not funny for a newbie to die and struggle with the game (in the repetative boring way). Newbs is also what gives the game it's "reputation". For example, I've Heard that Miriani is full of really horrible moderators and lots of unseemly sexual things (I don't mind the latter one unless it's sex with robots). Get a game's reputation to "frustrating, full of dicks that shoot you all the time" and you're not likely to get a whole lot of new players rushing in.
Rant's over, hope you could make some sense of it. The keypoints is the importants of newbies and the pk flag thing, the rest is just trying to illustrate and enforce.
