Kill Count

September 6, 2006 12:19:35 AM

A suggestion I have for people's profiles is having a kill count set up. I am currently involved in a story named "Operation Shipwreck". The squad members within the story are asking each other how many kills they are going to have and how many kills other people have. It might be a nice and novel idea that during stories, if you do indeed kill someone then this is reflected in your profile. The Squad Leaders could monitor this and update when the story mentions a kill.

Well... we're not really here for the kill count. Nor is taking a life fun any way in reality. And it's pretty hard to keep the count, as many people kill a dozen of enemy soldiers a story.

Your version of the "kill count" would require that someone (or some persons) keep track of every single story that every single Army member participates in, tallies up the counts, and then needs to edit the roster of every single person in the Army to update.

Very difficult to do.

There was discussion about this on the Navy board. This is a ridiculous idea, in every story it seems and each squad lays waste to multitudes of faceless enemy soldier without a thought, our abilities are already unrealistic at best, no need to aggravate that further into all out bloodbaths where newbs lay waste to entire armies while the more experienced take on entire new galaxies, the lack of realism already prevalent, and to some degree necessary, would be escalated into pule lunacy by this.

In addition the fact that you choose how many people you kill as apposed to the acquisition of a higher score being based purely and solely on skill makes this even more unjust.
