i thought this for a while too but now i am a semi-KSer. please, let me
explain: i spent most of my wizards life trying to keep order at the camps.
Me being a wizard threatened people by saying that if they stole, i could
easily steal every kill from them from then on, and it worked... for a
while. I have tried very hard lately to keep order at camps and nothing
works. so I gave up. I count the number of people in the camp and wait for
that many dervs to spawn, then i take the next one... regardless of who's
"turn" it is. I figure that i have to be at the end of the rotation so
everyone there has already had a turn when i go and the person that whines
to me was on his/her second turn. I guess you can call it killstealing, but
not many get mad because i'm not just stealing everything when i have the
mana... but that's what i do now... i am moving to a new server soon and i
am seriously thinking of just going out and stealing everything i can for
the hell of it. but i don't think i'll do it because i'm a nice guy and that
sucks for everyone else
