Hello Chummers!
It's been a whole conference on how or why would we try ( and succeed ;) )
in killing other pc's, I've killed pc's in D&D , Shadowrun, Vampire the
Masquerade, Werewolf, Alternity, you name it!, anyway sometimes the other
players earn it!, I remember when a guy betrayed us in Athas ( DarkSun), so
my character killed him.
As a Gm I've been forced to kill a PC, if only to maintain the game's
balance.
What I say is if you have to kill a PC is not necessary bad, it depends on
your method and your motivations to do it. Never make it look like a missing
bullet, he HAS to see why is he being killed.

No, look. It is just wrong to murder your players. Its a mistake I won't
make again. At least keep two alive so you have a functioning role playing
group.

Illegal too. Stick to just murdering their characters...

Really, beat them up if you have to, but don't murder
them. There are few enough role-players out there,
and if you kill them when they are lame, soon there
won't be anything left but CCGers...
