  If it is permanent, I'd probably suggest using just a single 'PK' force and 
subvert the msg field to contain the kill list, like <name>:<kills> or something.

  that could be interesting on a PK server for even the players to see that.

  Since PKing is a relative infrequent event (even on PK happy servers I'm sure 
it is compared to monsters being killed) the time to process that probably isn't 
that bad.

  I do remember I think it was moria that would track how many of the different 
types of creatures you kill, and based on that number, you could get more info 
on the creatures themselves.  While interesting, probably a bit overkill for 
crossfire.
