Yes, that title really does say "RC Poking." What does that mean? Well, my friend uses it all the time - you stand around at the zammy mage, and, when a rune crafter comes by, you poke them up with your scimmy. Poke, poke, poke. They always escape, and you don't care that they escape...why? Well, like most living things, if you poke them enough they get angry. When they get angry sometimes they come back with armor and food and try to kill you.

 

 

 

This is where the fun starts. You get a chance to fight the runecrafter, not for hides and a glory, not while he is defenceless - but because he has specificaly come to you, to fight you. And you end up with things like this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

But, why do this? Why are you standing around, deliberatley annoying RCer's when you could go off and fight other pkers. Well, there are a few reasons. FIrstly, by poking them, you are slapping them aross the face with the proverbial gauntlet. I challenge you, come fight me when you have something worth pking. Secondly it allows you to chose your prey - attack some one with the kind of stats you know you can beat. Thirdly, it means that you have something to do whilst you are waiting for the next abyss pker to turn up so you can kill them - that's the reason my friend hangs out there (the same one that took the pic above) - he's waiting for the nooby mages who have lvl 70 or something magic trying it on, as they are easy KO's - like this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

But the question is - is this moraly reprehensible or wrong? I would have to say I personaly don't think it is. I have done far, far more RC'ing than pking, and I know, every time I run into the wildy, I take my risks. If there was a meleer my level who only poked me as I went past I would be pretty happy - what's one or two lobsters per run for the promise of no magic using abyss pkers?

 

 

 

But, what do you think?

 

 

 

(This is a discussion about P2P, so I thought this is the right place to post it - but I may be wrong) YES THERE ARE TELE'S IN THE PIC. THEY ARE MY FRIENDS PICTURES, SO DON'T FLAME ME FOR THEM.

their loss.

 

 

 

 

 

honestly, i ignore pokers.

 

 

 

i've been killed once..... mostly because i was drinking soda... while walking in the wildy..... and i was like, meh..... spill my soda or loose a glory.

 

 

 

i was only doing laws at the time... so i didn't loose the pouches (which is the big deal)

 

 

 

 

 

when im doing natures, with all my magic defense, i usually just ignore mages.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

if i go to poke them back, i bring a bow and a poison arrow or two, shoot them, and continue rc'ing letting them deal with poision.

Your friend can't pk, so he does it because then he wont have to fight real pkers.

He does it so that people come and fight him. This means he actualy has a battle whilst staying of those pure laden worlds where rune pures and def pures and all kinds of pures that infest those worlds, preventing normal, one account players from getting kills. And I told you his main intent - to kill the mage abyss pkers, because they are easy money. RC poking is to get the attention of would be pkers so he can get some fights in without having to spend alot of time fleeing from pures with 99 str, 99 mage annd a combat level lower that 88.

Yes, it's morally wrong as an abyss pk'er, to have cammy tele-runes on you and use prayer in low-lvl wildy. Even if those 'victims' aren't defenseless. But, it's wildy, so anything goes.

He uses cammy tele and monkfish? :roll:

ok...so He's not an abyss killer, he killing people that are angry enough to attack him with armor on. He clearly states his aim is to get them to attack him whilst they are wearing weapons, armor and are READY AND EXPECTING a fight.

 

 

 

He does have teles, but please bother to read the whole post

 

 

 

Use prayer? I'm sorry what? You mean I'm not allowed to use ultimate strength and inhuman reflexes anymore :ohnoes: :roll:

 

 

 

He uses cammy tele and monkfish? :roll:

 

 

 

That's not what we are disputing here. Even with monkfish he was able to kill the mage and range pkers that hang around at the zammy mage who ARE abyss pkers. The second picture shows this. The guy had a higher combat, better food, and was tangle + running and yet bob still got the KO? He really can't pk :wink: I've told him not to use tele's but he won't listen and THEY ARE NOT IN DISPUTE.

sounds fair enough to me, he's giving the abyss rc'ers a choice to fight him or not, and riding us of the campers around the zammy mage.

 

 

 

More fool those who go back to fight him i say, if they know they can get past with little to no damage as soon as they go back to attack him they are no longer rc'ers

 

 

 

sounds a darn good strategy to me

I would never rc pk. Yet, I don't think it's wrong. It's the wilderness, everything goes. You use the Abyss, you know the risks. It's actually quite annoying when everybody complains about them. Sure, I do think it's killing your moral, making yourself dumb-looking.. I say that if you want to pk, pk well.

 

 

 

But in the end, it's like you'd be complaining that you got killed in the wild.

I think doing that is perfectly fine, it's not like there defencless and he's only poking them. So it's there choice if they want to come back and try to kill him.

I was killed by a poker once. Although every time I went past he actually tried properly to kill me. Eventually I finished my RCing, went back to edgeville, bought a few chaos and deths, was alredy on ancients...

 

put on ghostly robes and glory, went to him, ice burst...3 damage...4 dds specs doing a toal of 70 something, then he ate, teleblocked me, and 4dds specs did about 130 damage for him, I couldn't eat fast enough and I couldn't tele, he was same lvl as me, so no point running. Anyway, IMO, it's alright to kill people, that's the risk they take in wild, but to annoy them to the point where they HAVE to retaliate is just wrong, especially when you know you're doing it!

Noone ever has to retaliate you chose to go back after you had finished your RCing your fault not his...

Sounds much better than the noobs that actually pk in the abyss. Of course they are usually pretty easy to kill, dds[dd(p++)] spec or a quick shot with a super poison bolt.

 

 

 

I see nothing wrong with poking people at the zammy mage, actually pking them is a different story.

No one is MAKING you retaliate, you chose to retaliate because you can't take a little annoyance, just world hop or craft your runes the safer way, not using the abyss. Besides, it's a game, not life, so who cares about morals. The game is pretty much people screwing around to pass time.

If you act like trash you'll be treated like trash.

 

Post your "poking" in graveyard if you don't get my meaning.

I would rather him kick people to keep other pkers from attacking them

i dont waste my time fighting back (terrilber pk :P ) but im generally left alone and most abby pkers could kill me if they wanted to. i know that if they have to get 4 kills every hour to equal what im making (figuing the loss of runes, arrows, etc)

 

 

 

i still find it very ironic that the ppl they buy there tele black and entralge spells are the same people they are attcking #-o i mean if every rc did sell to any the abby pkers, abby pking would die fast

 

 

 

but yeah i dont see anything morally wrong with it, i jsut find it extremly annonying

good idea gotta try it..cause i know i come back to kill people that poke me or at least chase them off..
