&gt;Let me ask yall this...
&gt;We're talking abotu death in my project now., originally Iw as of the
&gt;attitude, being anold AD&amp;D player "let em deal with the real rules...
&gt;if yer under 0 you go unconcious, if yer under -10 yer dead, if ya
&gt;don't make yer ressurectio nroll, tough luck.."

&gt;HOWEVER there is a social problem in obnoxiosu playeronlien purposely
&gt;tryint to hurtother players by killign their characters for no good
&gt;Rp reason at all. 

If you don't consider the violation of "true RP" a problem, then this
is less of a problem.  If you're not attempting to run (or enforce) a
solely immersive RP game, then I can see little reason to get upset at
the "for no good Rp reason at all."

&gt;ONE suggestio nis to have yo uNEVER go below unconcious by damage
&gt;doen by another player...  only mosters can outright kill ya.

Part of the player-value in PK is the awareness that the killer caused
a real and direct effect on another human.  Making the effect death
gives a certain permanence to the effect.  Making it merely
unconciousness (and probably the loss of various EQ etc) would seem to
encourage "baiting" (repeated taunting of a player by a PK'er who
keeps on knocking them unconcious).
