The distinction is clear here.
"Kill" means to murder, deliver death.
So stating that someone was killed while we all have 100%-successful-pods is a bit incorrect.
In addition, this is common word used in competetive gaming, which gives implication, that actual PvP must be competetive and might lead to more grief after being shot down ingame.
"Destroy" on the other hand would fit more, as we shoot down spacecrafts, not people, and we have confirmation of ship being destroyed, not killed in this case.
Such word would imply less negativity in PvP, as it is rarer in competetive gaming.
...
So, I hope this will be interesting discussion and maybe administrators will take attention on outcome of this vote in case community think it is "destroyed" that fits more/is better word for "Blue Messages".
