' Wrote:Yes, I did intentionally kill an underlevel player today.... but I think I was justified in it, considering what was happening at the time.

The player I killed was named Frugo.the.frog, and I only killed him once - screenshot below:


Prior to that, I had been assisting someone with a transfer - a level 5 in a starflier who frugo.the.frog killed. Frugo also killed two other level 4-6 players in starfliers immediately afterwards, screenshots here:




Now granted I probably shouldnt have killed him, as it is a violation of the server rules - but it was done within RP context (claimed the guy was going psycho, while the LSF players sat around and did nothing as he wreaked havoc on other new players above manhattan):


I also dont tolerate anyone killing anyone else while they're attempting to do a transfer, and especially when it's been announced in systems chat - the guy was doing this to be a jerk and griefer, nothing more.
EDIT:

And even afterwards, he's still doing it, attacking players he shouldnt be - and then rule lawyering about how "you cant attack me! it's breaking the rules!" while doing so:

Sad part about this is... you really cant sanction a starflea with any effect.

' Wrote:I say let him have his dumb ass rampage. What can a star flea do? Except annoy people. as long as he's not tractoring the credit cards (why in gods name would someone use them) used in the transfer you should still be about to find a reasonably secluded place to finish the transfer.

' Wrote:did you not see what i said later on in the thread?

I was helping someone transfer a mini razor, MkVIII armor upgrade, several weapons, and a few million credits from an unarmed patriot to a new character in a starflier.

If this jerkoff would have destroyed that person in either ship, he'd have lost millions of credits worth of equipment, all because some guy wanted to be a prick.

Even a starflea can cause harm.

' Wrote:Just a thought, but language like that might possibly get you another sanction....

But what do I know....

' Wrote:well the guy could have at least warned frugo in system chat that he was breaking the law and could be arrested for assault and murder... but he just sat there griping at me for shooting at the guy so I could get him out of the way and complete the transfers.

' Wrote:explanation is simple, I had a reason for doing what I did, and quite a few players around at the time agreed with it. Still, I get sanctioned just the same, and lose my credits for trying to save someone else from losing theirs.

Zero tolerance is not a good way of running things.
EDIT:

And seeing your edit, perhaps I should thank you. Still, I ended up having to delete another of my characters just to get enough money to start building money again after this, and it pisses me off.
EDIT2:

Still, I think the situation didnt warrant a sanction towards me. The no underlevel killing rule is there to stop high level players from griefing noobs, and that did not occur here. The guy deserved it, as he had already smoked three other players and went on to kill several more.
