Usually people assume player killers, or commonly referred to as pkers, are young, prepubescent teens with a complete disregard for thegame environment or other players around them; this stereotype is perpetuated by those that lack the ability to successfully role play as a player killer and also the angered individuals you might have killed along your quest to infamy.

When killing another player usually

players will degrade one another and let the victim know just how much

he sucks or is getting “owned”.  This is not necessary as the player

can look at his health and make a rational conclusion that he is

getting his assed handed to him. So,How to Role Play a Player Killer Articles while you are killing this person

make your kill quick and efficient. There is no point in rubbing it in

as this will only delay the kill which could lead to outside influences

such as his friends or others attacking you in this added time, or

perhaps npcs (non player characters) could enter the equation and turn

the tides of the battle. When killing your opponent you may have a

signature saying however, or something to make your kill style unique

from the rest. Common examples of this are tea bagging, corpse humping,

dancing over their dead body, or a clever catch phrase like "Just

Business"; the use of teabagging, corpse humping and dancing are very

generic so you will want to use this celebration sparingly if at all.

However, I feel unique clothing/avatar, example bright neon clothes

will be memorable to your victim as well as your catch phrase.Killing is part of the game,

at least part of the server you chose!, so understand that every player

likes the act of pvp, player versus player; but also realize the player

enjoys the thrill of pking, and at times even being pked. We are player

killers though, not griefers, camp spawners, or power hungry children;

we kill for the thrill of the chase and the tear of joy that rolls down

our cheek as our opponent takes a dirt nap. The real fun is in the hunt

and the kill shot. What you do after this kill shot usually determines

your status quo in the player killer world. Think of the most feared or

best player killer you knew/know. Were they feared because they talked

the most trash? I guarantee the answer is no. They were feared because

you knew they were PLAYER KILLERS, not griefers, or smack-talkers. They

have one goal and one focus…to kill you.So now that you have

successfully killed your prey you can choose what path to take. You can

proceed to tea-bag his corpse, and dry loot (depending on thegame ),

followed by res killing or corpse camping and a healthy round of Elite

ownage speak…or you can simply say nice fight, or good try and move on

to the next victim. Perhaps you can be as classy and marketing savy as

the great Adam Ant from old school UltimaOnline . His signature was

leaving a red bandana…forcing his victims to wear it or face the

consequences upon their next meeting. Whether it’s a clever catch

phrase, or a signature of some type, player killers with class and

style are the names echoed in virtual eternity and not the guy spamming

NEWB!
