I think it's important to draw a distinction between consentual PvP and
non-consentual PvP (what I'd classify as "PKing").

PKing doesn't exist outside of MUD'dom.  If you get PK'd in the ol' weekly
tabletop D&D game, then someone doesn't come back next week - either the PK
or you.

And even that hasn't happened since about 9th grade, has it?

Gee, why *are* PK's stereotyped as immature?  I wonder....
