Maybe everyone that is PKing is "role playing."

Then they should do it on tag and suffer the consquences of their choice of RPing style.
If so, then it's fine.
Half of the fun of RPing is dealing with things ic, so if you have a problem with someone ic, you deal with it ic, you don't run ooc off tag and kill them ten times. So you can be a master-of-discipline-and-order Leader of the Knights on tag, and when some **** gets in your way, go off tag and kill them a dozen times? If so, that's just way too lame for words.
Well, one thing that is *really* bad RPing is to repeat-kill-to-drive-someone-to-quiting, but that's another issue.
On the topic of general PKing, I think when you get to be a high level, you have to sacrifice some anominity, in a 'RP'ish environment, you're not a renowned warrior who gets cornered and slaughtered by some nameless beggar in a tattered cloak.
Second, no one 'RP' dying, I no one says 'oh no I died on tag now I have to change my name and restart...'.
Third, there is no 'RP'ish way to stop Pkers, because you can at best kill them, and oooh, then they have to track you down from the last dock they were on or somthing.... capital punishment isn't what it used to be.
One side note: If someone goes off-tag, and tries to round up people to go and PK the heck out of the King they are supposed to be under, would the King be obligated to ignore the off-tag behavior when they go back on tag?
I say, of course not, if someone is *ruining your fun*, you don't have to make any concessions with the person. So if they are ruining someone elses, it the whole tag issue shouldn't be an inpenetrable shield of an excuse.
