Take a look at mume frequentation data at http://mume.pvv.org/Plots. You'll notice
on the yearly plot, a remarkably steady red line. Similar quantity may be assumed
to fall on the opposite side of the war, appearing as green. These are the hard-core
PKers roughly, the final stage of evolution. A large segment it is.
Years of experience, honed skills, tricked out clients and tricked out reflexes.
Fallen in the rut, clinging to old patterns. They are systematic and mechanical.
Callous people. They call each other wimps and lamers.
There's this dumb road to success: take no chances, overpower completely. This will
not work often enough, nor yield satisfaction.
In a way it's like a poker table: playing against own kind can be a thrill, but the
main course are those bold yet clueless heroes. The new players. The suckers.
What we PKers need, indeed, what mume needs, is more and more of new players.
