as a dedicated ninja stalker i whole heartedly concur.
So you mean you'll put down your rock, and I'll put down my sword; and we'll try and kill each other like civilized people?

My hands of techno death abide the way of the hunter.
Back in beta us stalkers sat around and come up with 3 schools of thought; philosophies that a stalker would follow. This wasn't our way to try and tell people how to play, just our way of trying to build a community. Do with them what you will.
The Tao of Quason
1. I will offer no pity or mercy.
2. I will punish weakness. If I spot a target resting or injured, I will put them out of their misery.
3. If I spot two targets battling each other, I will assassinate the target with the lowest HP.
4. If I spot one target killing another, I will assassinate him as punishment.
5. I will not abide competition. If I spot another Stalker, I will pursue him with single-minded zeal.
6. If my target revives himself in my presence, I will kill him again for the insult.
7. If my victim insults me privately (/tell) or publicly (/broadcast) I will make an example of him by killing him again.
8. If my victim accepts his defeat with grace and dignity, I will not assassinate him again until he is no longer on my Defeat List.
9. I will never degrade myself by gloating over my victims. The knowledge of my own superiority is enough for me.
10. I will never pass up the opportunity to inflict pain on the innocent or suffering on the weak.
11. Reputation is everything. I will be feared by my enemies but I will be respected by my allies. If I choose to hire out my services as an assassin by joining a Villain Group or team, I will assist them skillfully and loyally to the best of my ability.
12. Alliances can be dissolved. If my alliance with other Villains is ended, they once again become my targets and I will hunt them with all the zeal and ruthlessness with which I hunt all my targets.
13. The title of stalker is earned. Those who tarnish our craft by taking our title in vain, for the benefit of the weak within earshot, shall become my primary target, and the target of all of my ilk.
The Way of Ninpo
Nin: patience, perseverance, and stealth
Po : The philosophy law live by
Seishin Shugyo
The Practice of Conscience. We do not rob, [censored], steal, or murder the innocent.
However, anyone in the Battlefield is open for Attack. You enter these scenario knowing and accepting death as consequence. No mercy. Friend or foe. The Weak or the strong.
Ninmujoku
Ninja/Stalker has no shame but one cannot use this theory for ones own benefit, because it is not concerned with the ideals of self-gain but rather the benevolence of the organization. (Stalker community) Feel free to kill you own Mother if you feel that it is for the greater good but keep the other rules in mind.
Yu
Courage. Only cowards back off to those you think are more powerful then you are. We are NOT turtles that abuse our knowledge and power. To know 'Yu' one must over come their fears, pride, and ego. Death is honorable in battle. Fleeing from your Foe is not. Learn your enemy. Learn to overcome them. This doesn't mean you have to go Kamikaze on everyone, you're not an idiot; just keep in mind what is cowardest and what makes you a coward.
Chu
Duty and Loyalty. You are responsible for all the action you commit and the consequence that may follow. If you decided to tick someone off, be prepare for revenge. Don't Hide in shame.
Meiyo
Honor or Reputation. A true Ninja/Stalker has only one judge of Honor; Himself. How you decide and what you do reflects on who you truly are. (also reflects who you are as a member of the community)
Makoto
Speaking and doing are the same action. You are always true to your words. You should never have to make a promise to someone. (It means if you said: 'I won't PK someone twice', you won't)
Do
You respect the opponent you've defeated. You defeated them not because you 'better' then them, you defeated them because you're become more skillful then them. Bragging, taunting, Dishonoring them (saying, I TOTALLY PWNED YOUR...) is NOT Tolerated. [Insert punishment]
The Path of the Hunter
1. I will seek out prey that is worthy. Killing the weak for sport diminishes me and degrades my skill. Do not kill someone who is nearly dead, afk, or in some way incapacitated.
2. I will cull the weak and infirm from the herd, as it is necessary to keep the herd healthy for future hunts. They can often be identified by their cry: "Hey someone give me some influence/infamy," or "we should nerf stalkers," or other such nonsense. Those who say stupid things should be swiftly GANKED!
3. As I challenge myself, so will I provide challenge for others. If anyone challenges me or my kind, no matter how weak or strong, it is my duty to oblige them. Those that seek death should be granted their desire. Simple enough. If you are challenged, put the fear of the Stalker into them with extreme prejudice.
4. When a lesson is given, the student must be given the opportunity to learn, or the lesson is wasted. If the student refuses to learn, then the lesson must be given again. Don't repeatedly kill someone unless they give you a good reason.
5. The hunt is sacred. Do not interfere with the hunt of another. If, however they are merely killing for sport, they are fair game. (The difference is, griefing the weak is sport killing, hunting a challenging target is hunting.) Attack those who attack weaker opponents because that is just plain low. However, if they are actually fighting, leave them be until later.
6. As others must treat you with respect, so you must treat yourself. Do not demean yourself by taunting your prey. No malicious taunting, and keep verbal taunts to a minimum.
7. Defeat is a gift. Your opponent has shown you your weakness. Accept this gift courteously. Don't be stingy, return the favor. Do not kirk out if someone kills you. Accept it......then take him out later.
8. Hunters are not prey, do not treat them as such. If you would test yourself against another Hunter, challenge him openly, and accept that you may have to wait until they finish their hunt to oblige you. Also, if the challenged Hunter refuses, you must back down and accept it with dignity. Show yourself to another Stalker if you wish to fight him, then verbally ask for a fight. If he accepts, start fighting. If not, back down without taunting.
9. The bunny must die. That is its place in the circle of life. Ours is to kill it. Anyone who says Stalker that isn't one is to be GANKED quickly and mercilessly.
10. Never reveal the secrets of our order. To betray another of our kind is to betray ourselves. Honorable death is preferable to betrayal. Don't talk about the Code of the Hunters to those who are not part of our codex, stalker or not. If you do, you should be stabbed by millions of AS's.
11. We are Hunters. We do not sell our services to others. There is a word for those that sell themselves to the highest bidder, I will not utter it here. We are not followers, we are leaders. In a group, you are the captain, not the Brute or Mastermind or whatever.
12. Disputes between Hunters are to be decided by Hunters. Outsiders have no place in our affairs. Those foolish enough to pry into our affairs need a lesson. If they fail to learn, they need another. (see #4) If someone tries to interfere with a fight between Stalkers, kill them outright.
13. When Hunters group together, respect each other for what we can, as a group, achieve. No one is better or worse in a group. Our skills, as one, are unconquerable and, therefore, srengthen the bond between fellow Hunters. Do not run ahead in missions or hunting: stick together. We are Stalkers individually ; as a group, we are gods .
14. Hunters are to look out for one another. We are one in conviction and soul. If another Hunter is felled by someone and he asks for you to reclaim his honor, it is your duty to find the one who has sullied our collective name and dispatch him. If another Stalker asks you to kill someone for killing him, do it without hesitation.
