Subject: A PK to look out for...

Tonight, while ant hunting, I encountered a kewldood/Pk named "bob the strange" and (get this) "hOmIzIdAlMaNiAk". I came upon a spawn of three ants surrounding his small tower on Fire Island. "bob the strange" was standing on the roof of this tower and did not react to my presence. So I pulled one of the ants away from his tower, but something went wrong. I have fought dozens of these warriors already, and knew to stay away from the acid, but as I delivered my second ebolt I suddenly died from almost full health.

Suspicious, but I chalked it up to the proximity of the warrior ant, and ran north to get ressed and get an etheral mount out of my nearby cabin, as I returned, I saw "bob" looting my corpse, and as I approached, I saw him drop two bags on the ground. he was under attack from two ants at this time. Thinking he was giving me back my stuff, I picked them up and said "ty", and got a spell up to aid him against the ants. Before I could fire off a spell though, he attacked me, and I ran off to heal. I came back at him, and both myself and a warrior ant were on him, and he died.

I looted the remaining items he had taken from my corpse, including one of those new binding bracelets, and he had tons of other stuff on him. I SHOULD have just gotten my own stuff and recalled outta there, but I let curiousity get the better of me. I also should have taken note that his ghost did not manifest and vanished from the scene immediately.

A few seconds later I see a blue name at the bottom left of my screen and I knew it was trouble : hOmIzIdAlMaNiAk. Could one possibly have more of a kewldood name? But before I could even recall away, my client crashed. Keep in mind that client crahses have been really rare for me over the last year. I am very suspicious of this happening.

I came back to a grey screen and the dewd looting my corpse. He also killed my ostard, which I recovered later and found a nice tamer to res it.

"bob the strange" seems unguilded, and from his character profile I see that he sells tinker chests (they were also on his vendor, Stacy). "hOmIzIdAlMaNiAk" is a member of the Defenders of the Moongates, a heavy war guild, and his title is "Satanic Red Neck".

Watch out for this loser. I might be setting up some revenge for him soon, since I know where he lives. And I will no longer have a lax stance while walking around in Felucca. Every stranger is a potential attacker.
