killer
- noun A killer is a player who gets most fun out of causing
destructive grief to other players. Capable killers are among
the most expert players of the game, with only their rather
distasteful goals distinguishing them from other true addicts.
Personae rarely matter to killers except as vehicles for meting
out and receiving punishment. Killers are never liked, but they
may be respected. The term is a misnomer, since although
killers attack often they rarely actually kill - the victim
usually flees pathetically early, frightened more by reputation
than by verifiable offensive capability. Some killers look upon
their chosen vocation as a public duty, ridding The Land of
plodders and people with banal names - indeed, there is an
entire subclass of killer, the wiz killer, for which this is
purportedly their raison d'être: cullers, rather than killers.
Few mortals believe such excuses, of course... Killers are
interested in players rather than the game, and are active with
it. See explorer, socialiser,
