[Purulent Carcass]

The example cited of getting killed for walking between people I have not heard of or seen, but it has to be considered that there might have been an IC reason beyond what the poster described for the actions taken. Don't just assume that because someone posts here complaining of such an action that this is anywhere near the norm for PCs to get beat down for doing nothing. 75% of the time a beat down occurrs because the beaten party is being purposefully rude to someone they shouldn't be. If its obvious someone is new to the game itself, more often than not they are given some slack, but don't let that make you think that there aren't consequences for bad ic behavior.

On another subject, the majority of very evil PCs are much more creative than simply killing other PCs. Death by another player is extremely rare and normally only happens when a PC has been habitually obnoxious, a certain paladin by the name of Sirius comes to mind. If a large dog snaps at you, you should leave the large dog alone instead of poke it with a moral stick. Otherwise expect to get bit and don't cry when it happens.
