Kill stealing

[chierii]

So, flist, tell me this:

You're heading back towards Arcadia after killing your targets. You've got an Odin next to you so there's no way you need Blobs for your quest.

There's a Blob with very low health moving towards a player with full health. Okay, maybe the other player hasn't loaded yet so you can't see he's countering.

But still. Demon with low health + nearby player = they're fighting, right? What could possess someone to take away that last chunk of HP (and the kill credit)?

And I wasn't at low health myself so I clearly didn't need any "help".

What the fuck is wrong with people?

Being a jerk.

Years ago I was in a MUD where a person was asking for help in a battle. I helped them beat the monsters they were fighting and they promptly turned around and attacked/killed me.

Then started crying about how they were bad people and they were going to leave because they were so bad. So the mod took the murderer status (What you got for killing a PC) off their list.

They're just being a jerk.

...huh? So he willingly became a murderer and then cried about it to get exonerated?

Either that mod is a flake (me in disguise? XD) or just...irresponsible.

Yeah, she pulled that stuff all the time. She was a walking attention whore of the 10th power. The stuff I could tell you.

But yeah, generally people who pull stunts like that are just being jerks.

Though I've had my Jack out and been killed by slimes because of LAG... He killed my Jack...

MY JACK! *SOBS* And me... but JACK!
