I think it's important to draw a distinction between consentual PvP and
non-consentual PvP (what I'd classify as "PKing").
PKing doesn't exist outside of MUD'dom. If you get PK'd in the ol' =
weekly
tabletop D&D game, then someone doesn't come back next week - either the =
PK
or you.
And even that hasn't happened since about 9th grade, has it?
Gee, why *are* PK's stereotyped as immature? I wonder....
