Why, of course!

But Bubba didn't PK them!  He merely used a generic MUD-tool (the
nuke) to obliterate a large portion of the land.  All the PK-clan
members in the area of course immediately died with suitable karma and
points awarded to Bubba.  The non-PK'ers found themselves standing in
a vast ocean of boiling magma with all oxygen consumed by the roiling
fireball above, and asphyxiated while munching on their well cooked PK
brethren.  Of course a few might struggle to the sides of the
devastated area, but by that time the rock would harden, leading to a
fine supply of life-like statuary surrounding the blast zone which
Bubba could make a nice profit on in the moaning lawn ornament
business.
