Annoying point of view change
Designa was a half-elf cleric of Selune. He was a rather mellow character but he always stood for good even if he wasn’t one of those holy crusader types. The sad thing sometimes is that sometimes people don’t need much reason to make someone their target.

Finbar’s magic dominates you and you relax as he takes control of your will!
Finbar says: “Heh, little priest of selune. Or should I say soon to be a former priest of selune.”
Finbar cackles

Finbar forces you to choose malar.
Designa has chosen to follow Malar.
Finbar (Malar): Welcome to the hunt Designa!
Shortly after this Finbar cast some more attack spells and killed Designa. Because of the domination spell none of the commands Designa typed could do anything.
Designa (OOC): Fuck you Finbar, I’m mailing Law. There is no way you should be able to use domination that way. I hope they Rid you.
Finbar (OOC): Someone is a sore PK looser.
Designa typed ‘mail law’ and told the admin’s of the game what happened. He wrote a rather nasty report and the people who read it several hours later when they were both offline were not pleased.
Finbar had a reputation already. He played a dwarven cleric/mage of malar and was known for being really ruthless in his PKing. It was enough that he had been accused of cheating several times. But this was enough to get more than yelled at and told to stop.
Death cost a player character 10% of their experience points. Also forsaking a deity cost them 10% of their experience points. In essence what Finbar did to Designa cost him a little under 20% of the character’s total experience points. For a character over level 10 there is no way that wouldn’t be enough experience point loss to lose a level. Experience point loss like that could set a character back multiple levels.
Multikilling was banned. Multi Killing is killing someone and then killing them again right after you killed them. Some overly competitive players would do this to keep a character they thought might be a threat to them someday from becoming powerful enough to kill them. The only exception for this was if someone came back and provoked the player that just killed them a few minutes earlier.

Finbar noticed that he couldn’t log back in the next day after he logged off. It gave him a notification that his character had be rid and the name was banned. Not really pausing to think on his actions he just decided to play another character.
Enter the name of your Character:
Zilath
And so Zilath the drow was made.

#Call Cthulhu
An eldritch comedy. After Cthulhu is summoned into the world, the whole place goes to shit. Things really got out of hand after Cthulhu got nuked. Alex and Julius, a pair of brothers, try their best to make it in a North America reshaped by an eldritch apocalypse. “Stop right there Philip!” Julius interrupted, the vein on his temple starting to throb. “I do not want to hear another simile about what magic is. I have had magic explained to me by three cult leaders, a wizard, and a cannibal. I've heard that magic is like a rainbow, all its parts blending together. The human unconsciousness, powerful and unknowable. A body, you don't want to eat the heart straight away. I am sick and tired of people telling me what magic is. I know damn well what it is.” He drew a breath, interrupting his rant. “Magic is a bad joke. A whole lot of setup, for some nonsense punchline. This whole god-damned apocalypse is an eldritch comedy.”
