There are only 2 types of people in this world, safers and luckers...

[Muhaja]

there are a third group of people who belong as one of the above types of people, but who also think the terms are insults...these people are know as Mod edit: removed, don't evade the censor please!

and here is why:

 

 

Safers? hmm, let me give a couple of synonyms for safers...eaters, person who eat too much. Sounds like whining about not getting what you want, that is...allow the other person to survive. Geez, can't we get back to something relevant as an insult. If you call someone else safer, you are basically ridiculing the fact that they won't let you kill him. Which is against the whole point of pking. By calling someone else a safer, you are being a hypocrite yourself because you are doing the exact same thing. Unless you pk with no food. Being safe is defined as eating to keep the HP level about your opponent's next maximum hit. (since once you hit 0, you can't eat. So you heal at 1 hit before). Theoretically, you can never die. The only way to die is by not safing.

 

Therefore, statistically, the average pure pker in bounty worlds who kill more than they die is a safer (Think about that....)

 

So, if you kill more people than you die, you are probably a safer. If however, the reverse is true, you are a bad pker.

Get it?

 

 

What the hell are luckers? I see this term more and more often....really? thanks for pointing out the obvious that if you kill someone is because you got lucky with the RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR

 

 

 

Risk, I laugh at people that tell me to risk stuff... They might as just straight up beg for my stuff, since if you take account that my purposely risking you are giving out a percentage of drops for free to your opponent. Not to mention, that if you risk and you won, then you were lucky, making you a lucker..

here is the ridiculousness of risk: I just have to ask one rehtorical question....do you really think that the average person who ran away from a dm (which consist of a majority of people), insulted you with every single words he think of in his tiny brain, egged you on to fighting, and is going to leave thier HP at 5 below your max hit, so you can KO him?

 

if you think that there is a secret universal understanding of risk that pkers are suppose to honor, then you clearly are either naive or got dropped onto a granite shield as kid.

 

 

Here is another reason why risk is a stupid concept, it's like DM's, you tell your opponents they can't run, but you still do. It's just a stupid con trick....

 

 

The truth is, those who risk the most, have the most to gain. That doesn't mean that will just foolishly leave their HP purposely low, so opponent can kill them.

 

 

I just felt like clarafying this, because there is a percentage of pkers who truly believe this. And I am all for helping the mentally handicapped.

I'm sure the people you are trying to convince would be overwhelmed by this thread anyway. Though everything stated was spot-on.

 

Personally, I just laugh at anyone who calls me a safer, etc.

The thing with pking is, if you dont risk 75k your wasting EVERYONES time.

 

And if you safe (especially in f2p pking), your also wasting EVERYONES time.

 

The thing with safing is, you give your opponent almost no chance to kill you outside of extreme luck. And if you treat your enemy like that, they are going to safe as well, thus meaning neither of you are going to get any drops, and only waste food.

 

Its a collossal waste of time and money for both parties.

 

Thats the reason for these self imposed rules pkers have. If the PVP system worked differently, then fine, whatever. But because of the way the pvp system works, making kills impossible outside risking on low health, you have to impose rules in order to make it non tarded.

[Nomrombom]

Agreed, but the point of PKing is to have a competition of SKILL in PKing. If you safe, neither person can win, and it is a waste of time.

 

 

This complicated set of unwritten rules is why I don't PK.

[Sir_Kurity]

Its pretty complex, but the gist of it is.

 

Dont safe. (safing level varies dependant on combat level and f2p/p2p)

Dont protection pray. (at least, not pre emptively)

I agree a bit that the PK worlds are full of safers. I really hate how they run from you, eating as you hit them, and then head into a safe zone. And then there are people on the world who have told me not to attack them and have blurted obscenities for me killing them. I wish people who did roam the PK worlds would be like the majority of the major PKers of the wild, they were hardcore. PK worlds don't seem as hardcore as the wild though. Too many obstacles, too many safe areas.

I think Jagex needs to put an invisible wall in safe zones so if you are getting attacked or running from an attacker, you can't enter. And I think limits on food used per battle and prayer usage should be worked on to make the PK worlds a bit more hardcore and less infuriating for people actually wishing to kill others.
