I have no idea what you are referring to. I am referring to:
from their forums. Indicating that something happened with a dual wielding pk where the person at the wheel didn't intend to kill. Only to stun. Which I might add, comes at the verge of unconsciousness from lack of hp, not from a separate visible stat that I've seen. And I can't imagine that all IC threats are declaration of player intent, perhaps that's simply because of playstyle on my part, throwing out a good number of them and rarely if ever delivering.

I'm saying the guy I saw swapped from one weapon to two before attacking. Makes me doubt they "forgot".

I'm getting from that that they forgot to disengage/go defensive early, and found out the hard way that even when trying not to kill someone a second weapon will do the trick, I'm not certain that it WAS a different pk, as there's not a whole lot of combat oriented pcs, and of those pcs, half that number dual wield, which makes the odds slim to none that it was a different unrelated incident.

I mean, given that it was posted in a thread regarding 'things you don't know about the code, but should'.

Early? It was a fairly lengthy fight with a few short breaks for chasing. If they had wanted to turn it on they had plenty of time.

Which... if they forgot to or didn't realize to... would not be affected in the slightest by how long they had to do so.

Which is fine. I saw about 4 PK situations in one week. I just don't have time to skill up properly.

I can only assume you're playing in the slums, where it's a lot more like the rinth than anywhere else, or playing a dwarf. Because I've never seen anything like that, and can't wrap my mind around how that could be happening with the playerbase numbers and the number of consistently alive characters there are. I have seen four people I've met or interacted with at all die altogether, pk or otherwise, in the entire time I've been playing (Tatsu, XXX, XXX and Thresh are the only pcs I've interacted with that have died. I've seen 2 other corpses, but those two corpses, as well as XXX's were left by an attacking bear when people left the city, so it hardly seems indicative).
That said, I've had 2 pcs, both human, neither from the slums. I know mileage may vary but... that is a SHARP contrast, considering the number of deaths I've seen in 2 months is right around the number of pks you say you've seen in one week. I'm frankly curious where all the pcs came from that managed to get pked that way without leaving anyone appreciable missing from the lineup of people I've interacted with.
I don't disbelieve you, I just can't wrap my head around the idea that you and I are even playing the same game, let alone in the same city, with such hugely different experiences of things.

posting a log would probably make this a lot less confusing. i'm just saying.

I'm seriously flabbergasted that a player from ARMAGEDDON where people kill you with 2-3 arrows from a room away, rogue magickers can spam cast you to death, warriors will spam bash you to death, d-elves run around the tablelands killing anything with 'the' in their sdesc..- is complaining that he got chased around and almost died on another RPI mud?
If it was in the city then yes this is bullshit, email the mud and give feedback about their weakass crimcode but don't act like you're the victim here. Yes the crimcode sucks at Esos I've stated this as much on their forums. If the game to you is about skilling up so you can kill other players then I honestly don't want you at Esos anyway. Have fun wherever you land.
I'll relate that I am telling a story at Esos with several other players and that to me is worth the time.

At least there is more RPed build up in Arm. The game was not about skilling up to me. If you HAVE to skillup just to survive repeated PK attempts then fuck you for thinking that. That's why I DON'T want to play. I don't want to spend so much time worrying about my skills so I can survive to actually RP.

... no one else but you has had that experience, nyrsucks. In fact, they've all, if you are listening, had the exact opposite experience. No one that I have seen, met, or heard of, plays EOE to run around and pk people. Even the historian who I think is a weaksauce as hell twink for exploiting the crimcode the way he does, does not seem to be playing just to skill up or grief others, though such seem to be much more important to the historian than anyone else I've come across in the game, based on interactions thus far.

This is exactly why posting a log would help.

I don't really have a log of people being 'not killed' so... I'm going to assume you mean nyrsucks, and not me, because I don't log to begin with, but even if I did... showing a log that has nothing to do with pk (which would be every time but 1 that I have logged in)... would just show nothing to do with pk. Heh.

I'm going to assume you mean nyrsucks, and not me correct. Ive literally seen 2 pages now of posts that read like- I saw a guy get killed twinkishly.No, that wasn't twinkishly because A B an d CThat wasn't how it happened. must be another guy who got killed.I saw X Y Z and omega; it wasn't like that.That doesnt match what happened. nyrsucks: please just post the fucking log. Nobody can agree or disagree with you because everyone is talking about different people who fit your description of "some d00d who attacked someone this one time"
