You miss the main difference as I see it.  When I kill a newbie, no
one gets back a turn report saying THEY are dead and have to make up a
new character -- that anything they did up to that point is now null
and void and they must start over.  In other words, to me, it is the
difference between killing a monster and a player.  If you disagree,
that is your perogative.  (Note, I am not saying you SHOULDN'T do
this, just that it is on a different level) One thing to note,
however, is that MY activities do not make the others in town wonder
if they are next.  I have made every effort to make sure that ISN'T
the case.  Your activities on the other hand, seem to.  Perhaps you
should not moan and groan when people, who do not want to be "next"
rise up against you.  Would you tolerate a petty warlord in, say,
Habyn, asking others to swear units to him or die?  I think not.
Should I ever make the people around me nervous enough to rise up
against me, then I, too, have gone too far and you won't see me
complaining that people are ganging up on me unfairly.  If Dr.  Pain
were a little more diplomatic and a little less bloodthursty
throughout, he might have had a lot more support and certainly less
enemies but, alas, that is not the case...
