RE: Admin Notice: Updates - 04 Mar 2013 - Huhuh - 03-04-2013
What if I want to kill someone to protect my allies (who are not involved in the fight; i.e miners in a field), but the guy logs before I can tell him not to come back. I either wait for two hours to ensure my allies' safety from this one guy, or risk their explodanation.
It should be a "No you can't come back" by default, with the option to allow them to come back if they ask. I really can't be assed to send PMs to every dude I kill to ensure my territory is kept clear (especially when I can't sit in front of the player list for two hours making sure no one comes back).

If you want to protect them, stay there with them.

But yes, over all, I like the rule changes. Makes powergaming harder for people, which improves the fun of the game.

Excuse me for not wanting to have to protect my allies from the undead while I go to class.

eg
one unhappy pirate gets killed in one system by someone in a faction, that pirate will be an idiot for ages as he watches the player list and goes after that faction in his other CHARACTERS for age to come, and no one can do anything about it

This rule will be a great benefit to those who fight with honor!

I agree with Dirk Danger on this rule change.
Well done admins!

Short memory.

This change is pointless if I got the purpose of the change right.
