Trooper1270: There's no killing in, say, chess, or many other tactical board type games, but you can defeat your opponent, or be defeated by them...
There's no killing in the game whose original name is literally something like "the king is dead", where you say "dead" whenever you're threatening to defeat the opponent's king? Are you quite sure?
Shmacky-McNuts: Soooooo.....they are already dead. We have to make them.....more dead??
It seems rather illogical.
Works for (almost) every fantasy game, or story, involving dead things like vampires, ghouls, zombies, animated skeletons, lichs, and such.
It's indeed illogical, but that happens at the level where the dead things are there moving around and trying to do stuff. Once you magically go over that hurdle, making the dead stuff stop moving around isn't any more illogical.
