Is this breaking rule 5.8?

[Trail]

To clarify C broke rule 5.8

C is aware who B is and is not allowed to engage that character (and vice versa)

That said since B is not aware of who C is he would not be breaking a rule if he engaged first unless C told B in advance on who he was. Of course if B does know who C is then they are both maliciously breaking 5.8 if they decided to fight anyway.

Nothing in the rules says C can't attack B, nor that B can't attack C. The player behind A and C is on a different character to the one he killed B on in the first place, so B is free to engage him. Where you got the idea that C can't engage B I have no idea.

Admin confirmation:

• Scenario 2: I, LHI|Gheis.Mace, kill LR-Contrived.Name in California. I then, before the two hours are up, switch to OSI-Resolute captained InRP by Gheis Mace, and am engaged by LR-Contrived.Name in a separate interaction. Because the ship names are not notably similar (LHI|Gheis.Mace v OSI-Resolute), I cannot expect LR-Contrived.Name to have known I was the same person - or even the same character - and so no violation of reengagement has occurred. Because I'm notably different as well, LR-Contrived.Name can assume I've logged off and return to California if he so wishes.

the scenario you describe is different from the one in the OP. since while the now victim that is being attacked knows the person who was killed before. The killed doesnt know the victim. The victim is also not the one engaging the person who he killed before.

I cannot expect LR-Contrived.Name to have known I was the same person

He even says so.

meanwhile in the original scenario by monmarfori the person who engages B knows that he was taken out by him before.

So that means I can get on my Sair to hunt some hessians; including some who were killed on my RM char. Thanks!

No it doesn't. If you engage someone you killed or got killed by before then you are willfully re-engaging someone on a different account/character and that is sanctionable should the person you killed report you.


edit: blah sorry for the double post wasnt able to delete this post either

Well actually, no need to even switch to Sair. If you kill a hessian with your RM, you could follow the hessian about and continue to attack him again with your RM technically. However, obviously, that is rather poor form.

this is re-engaging

A player who was killed in a PvP fight must not attack the enemy (character or characters involved in the death) with any of the characters on his/her account(s) for 2 hours.
