Rule revision: 2.3 - Dead Men Tell No Tales - Krmloo - 03-17-2026
We have decided to revise the DMTNT rule to allow for more personal roleplay possibilities after destruction during a hostile player encounter.
Old wording:
2.3 - Dead men tell no tales - when you are destroyed during a hostile player encounter, your character loses all memory of that encounter, other than that their ship was destroyed.
New wording:
2.3 - Dead Men Know No Facts: When you are destroyed during a hostile player encounter, your character's account of events becomes unreliable, and cannot be used to enforce roleplay consequences. Characters may still use the memory in personal roleplay, but not to utilize Faction Rights, push diplomacy/law changes, etc.
I'd like to also thank the community as a whole for the feedback and ideas regarding this.
Credit for the new wording goes to @DarkTails.

About time.
Could we get a little bit of insight as to the decision-making process which led to this taking so long?

No particular reason, just a lot going on at the same time so there was some excessive bureaucracy. I'm personally much happier about the revision as I wasn't wholely on-board with it before either. That said, the intent of the rule was closer to the revision as it now stands, we just failed to communicate it pretty badly.
As mentioned - sincere thanks to the community at-large for all the feedback in the meantime.

Thank fuck. Personally I would amend that if it is consented between both parties then the rule should not apply, but that's just me thinking out loud.
Other than that, this is much, much more acceptable.
