=== Purpose ===

Attempt to kill a player.

=== Syntax ===

To kill a player:

 . ''{{{ kill <player> }}}''

To kill a player and increase your success chance:

 . ''{{{ kill <player>=<cost> }}}''

=== Parameters ===

''{{{<player>}}}'' 

 . The player you want to attempt to kill.

''{{{<cost>}}}'' 

 . An optional cost, up to one hundred currency units, to increase your chances (one-to-one) of killing the target.

=== Examples ===

__Example 1__

If a player named David, who is not set as killable, wanted to kill a player named Jonas, who was not set as killable, David would type:

 . {{{ kill Jonas }}}

Because neither Jonas nor David are set as killable, David would see:

 . {{{ "You have to be set Kill_OK to kill someone." }}}

__Example 2__

If a player named Agnes, who is set as killable, wanted to kill a player named David, who was not set as killable, Agnes would type:

 . {{{ kill David }}}

Because David is not set as killable, Agnes would see:

 . {{{ "They don't want to be killed." }}}


__Example 3__

If a player named George wanted to kill a player named Arthur, who are both set as killable but are in a haven, George would type:

 . {{{ kill Arthur }}}

Because the room is a haven, George would see:

 . {{{ "You can't kill anyone here!" }}}


__Example 4__

If a player named Matthew wanted to kill a player named Christopher, and all previous conditions are satisfied, Matthew would type:

 . {{{ kill Christopher }}}

If the attempt succeeds, Matthew would see:

 . {{{ "You killed Christopher!" }}}

Everyone else would see:

 . {{{ "Matthew killed Christopher!" }}}

__Example 5__

If a player named Kate wanted to kill a player named Raymond, and all previous conditions are satisfied, Kate would type:

 . {{{ kill Raymond }}}

If the attempt fails, Kate would see:

 . {{{ "Your murder attempt failed!" }}}

Raymond would see:

 . {{{ "Kate tried to kill you!" }}}


=== Caveats ===

The {{{ kill }}} command is one of the few MUCK commands with complex situational requirements. Players can only attempt to kill other players. Additionally, one can attempt to gain a kill chance bonus (one currency unit for a one percent bonus) by paying extra currency units as part of the command. Paying an extra one hundred currency units guarantees a kill. Wizards are immune to being killed.

Like in real life, and much like robbing someone, killing someone on the SpinDizzy MUCK shouldn't be done lightly and is frowned upon.

The diagram below illustrates the process for the {{{ kill }}} command. You may click the image to enlarge it.
