&gt;&gt;&gt; Okay, you're doing a fantasy world, not atomic physics. make that
&gt;&gt;&gt; instead of a nuke, a huge fireball that Bubba has been constructing
&gt;&gt;&gt; and massing for years, the equivalent of a large meteor strike.  BOOM! 
&gt;&gt;&gt; Instant miles of wastleand.
&gt;&gt;&gt; 
&gt;
&gt;&gt;Let's see... I think the only thing left standing would be players in
&gt;&gt;the city who are members of non-PK clans.  They could then rat on
&gt;&gt;Bubba.  ;)
&gt;
&gt;Why, of course!

so, the non-PK'ers survive...

&gt;But Bubba didn't PK them!  He merely used a generic MUD-tool (the
&gt;nuke) to obliterate a large portion of the land.  All the PK-clan
&gt;members in the area of course immediately died with suitable karma and
&gt;points awarded to Bubba.  The non-PK'ers found themselves standing in
&gt;a vast ocean of boiling magma with all oxygen consumed by the roiling
&gt;fireball above, and asphyxiated while munching on their well cooked PK
&gt;brethren. 

so... the non-PK'ers DON'T survive ... ?  which is it?

&gt;           Of course a few might struggle to the sides of the
&gt;devastated area, but by that time the rock would harden, leading to a
&gt;fine supply of life-like statuary surrounding the blast zone which
&gt;Bubba could make a nice profit on in the moaning lawn ornament
&gt;business.

The blast doesn't directly kill them, but the resulting changes in the
environment do...

So, a PK'er can not directly kill a Non-PK'er, but they can alter the 
environment in such a way that the Non-PK'er dies?  How is that any 
differnt from a slightly more complicated way of putting a sword thru
the Non-PK'er?
