Killed by a member

Message Status: Replied.

Hi, this is in regards to the recent untimely death of my alt, DerScout. I was attacked outside of Sixtus General Hospital in Grayside, where I had run out of AP attempting to find a safehouse at VSB instead of EHB. Apparently, my profile, which read simply "BRA!NZ", was taken to be evidence of my being a zombie spy. This is false. It has been changed to reflect the fact that it is a joke, albeit one in very poor taste. This action has aggravated me greatly, as I must now spend at least an extra half-day trying to find a viable revive point, then attempt to find a safehouse.

I understand that I am but a lowly level 1 user, but I assure you that I have no intentions of being a zombie spy - I am currently trying to level up and gain enough skills to join a respected non-PKing group. However, if I am continually killed as a PKer I may end up losing faith in humanity in the area as a hole and be forced to become a zombie permanently.

Thank you.

For completeness, here is a transcript of the attack:

 *  SgtBop hit you with a fire axe for 3 damage. (1 hour and 33 minutes ago) ...and again...
    * SgtBop said "DerScout, there is strong evidence supporting the assumption that you are, in fact, a zed spy." 
    * SgtBop said "Anyone who wishes to check it out, may check profile number: 963872" (1 hour and 31 minutes ago)
    * SgtBop hit you with a fire axe for 3 damage. (1 hour and 31 minutes ago)
    * You were killed by SgtBop. (1 hour and 31 minutes ago)

PS - Please note especially the restraint shown in this post. It fails to convey the anger I am currently feeling over this incident, despite the fact that it is "just a game". Thank you.

Divum Viridis is a group of player killers. We, however, do not intend to kill newbies, or anyone under level 5 without a good reason, such as being a zombie spy.

This is a game where the only defense is stopping something before it happens, and a profile containing only the word "BRA!NZ" seems to be plenty of reason to suspect someone of being a zombie spy. Most importantly, this was not an attack against you only against what could have been someone using an unfair tactic.

Do not, however, take this as an apology. Only an explanation, and possibly a learning experience. A level one scout with only "BRA!NZ" in his profile is very suspicious, especially inside of a hospital or other Tactical Resource Point. Paranoia is a powerful drive, remember that.
