	Readers will note that in both examples one could achieve similar levels of fear and panic by merely the forcible suggestion of such acts. Of all the tools that the PKer has at his disposal, none is more valuable nor lasting for the mastery of his Art than his command of Speech. The Noisy PKer, for all his apparent weaknesses in developing a pragmatic strategy of attack, has within him the chief weapon to destroy the souls of his fellow man and through that destruction, to conquer them.

	This is a guide designed to help the aspiring Prince of Killers (PKer) lead a productive and fulfilling life on Shartak by ending the unproductive and meaningless lives of his fellow islanders. I suppose it could also be of use for do-gooders and other meddlers to anticipate the tactics of PKers. The knowledge contained in this guide comes down to you through the benefit of my own life experiences as a revolutionary, as well as my extensive knowledge of lesser practitioners of the Art. Regardless of what romantic or bloodthirsty rationalizations you give yourself, if you are reading this, you are certainly a maladjusted killer. Therefore, the information contained herein will be of use to you, even if you choose not to align yourself in the glorious struggle against tyranny. Ahem.

-Most, though not all, islanders respect the PKer as a valid, if unsavoury, lifestyle choice. Now that Sacred Space has been sucked away into the Mountain where it belongs, even the Spirits condone the practitioners of the Art.
+Most, though not all, islanders respect the PKer as a valid, if unsavoury, lifestyle choice.
-There are, however, certain practices that will cause the Spirits to curse you and the island community to reject you. I am speaking of the use of griefing and zerging as tactics in PKing. For the benefit of the do-gooders, I will say that the use of griefing, that is, repeatedly attacking the same player/character, and zerging, the use of multiple alts who act as a collective entity for the benefit of the player, is unconscionably evil and selfish, and has led our island to the brink of destruction at least once in the past. With my clear disdain and moral revulsion for these practices so expressed, let's consider how to use these tactics with a lessened chance of getting caught.

 Some may object to my including a section in this guide for such heinous activities, but the do-gooders may refer to my earlier statement that the guide may be of great use to themselves as much as to the PKer this work is offered to, in terms of counter-tactics. This is the danger of releasing texts into the public domain, but I accept the risk as a necessity for reaching a wider audience. Therefore, let us not behave like the buffoons of past epochs, who decried the wise man who first revealed the locations of where to find heavy swords. Information is destined to be free from constraints, and while this may be a product of my anarchical upbringing, it is not, I think, a mere opinion.
