Your scalp count. Classy. How many of those are from brand new pilgrims that were wandering just north of town? Do you ever stand in front of the mirror and wonder why you are the way you are? It must be a sad life you slither through.
Many people make this silly argument as if players should feel bad for killing other players, but Salem is all about murdering fellow players and stealing their stuff. If Mikus enjoys that aspect of the game, good for him. Furthermore, there's no way to know what 'level' someone really is by looking at them and he's gotten some nice things and large silver payoffs off characters who looked like newbies. There's also the chance that some day someone will come out looking like a newbie and turn out to be a huge fighter character bent on killing him. It hasn't happened yet because the people who complain about him here on the forums are also cowards, that's why they are here and not out there plotting and growing a character. But it could happen someday, and he's willing to take that risk to play the game the way he wants to and that's awesome.
If you don't want to get killed by Mikus or someone like him, just take the few simple safety precautions listed in Cheena's post. Really, it's not hard to avoid death in Salem, for the most part. Considering the nature of this game, most people who die have only themselves to blame.
