New Score List

[Domino]

I have to agree with Bigjuan.. giving out specific character info to everyone is a _very_ bad idea, unless it is your purpose to encourage hard core pkilling.  I usually protect such things as my character speed, ac, hps, bps, etc because I do not like people to compare what I have to thier own and conjecture that they may be able to pkill me.  And quite honestly if there ever was such a list, and I saw anyone on it that I thought could possibly BE a threat.. I would kill them.  And anytime anyone became a near threat I would continue to kill them.  It's just the way I am... completely paranoid  ;D

The purpose I had in mind for a pkill list was mainly to let people know who the pkillers are and for the pkillers to be able to keep score amongst themselves.  There realy is no 'fair' and 'not fair' to most pkillers mentalities.  Why do we (for the most part) not kill everyone who logs in?  Because there's no gain.  I don't kill people unless they annoy me or I catch them breaking the rules because  the gear they generaly have is far far worse than what I find on an average dive and I don't get XP so there's just no reason.

Well under my plan the only time anyone would get that information is when you've killed someone. But, that information travels around fairly quickly even without any kind of list. I can ask around and find out what gear, speed, HP's, etc most of the high-level players have or recently had because they've told the wrong person at some point. *cough*Maeg*cough* I am beginning to see your point though. Too much info would definitely be a bad thing. Maybe just levels and time of day, but as far as the other information, maybe it could be kept internally to create kind of a rating system, in a ladder of sorts - like this person is the most dangerous player on the server, this person is the most cowardly, this person is the most respectable, etc etc. kinda like a semi-realtime version of the post-game stats in Goldeneye. Good ole N64, I haven't touched that in ages.

Yeah I could see a ranking system like that.   Take a character,  and his rank would be based off of how many of his total pkills were in his 'range'.  Range would be say anyone within 5 levels smaller to any size larger than him.  Then you could come up with a simple table:
[pre] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Character.......................| Level |  Pkills | Rank | % of kills in range (-/= 5 levels) |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| charming character Newbie the Cutpurse     |  10   |    5    |  15  | 100................................|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [/pre]
(have I ever mentioned how much I hate it that this board compresses spacing and other formatting even with the preformatting command?)

This is more what I have in mind.
