PVP-Dead.

[Durandal]

The issue I have with the proposal for rules change that Durandal just put forth is what I call the second layer consequence.

We kill a guy, and he comes back, continues roleplaying. (we cannot attack him)
We kill another guy, and he comes back, continues roleplaying with the first guy we killed. (we cannot attack him, he is PVP dead)

Can Jim, not affiliated with us, come into the system and attack the two guys we kill? Under the proposal, it is unclear.

No, he cannot, and it is clear. In my proposal I wrote that PvP dead players must not be engaged by other players. This includes those who were not online, in the same system, or involved in the engagement resulting in their destruction. Relevant section -

Must not not be engaged by other players.

It also removes the language about re-engaging on other characters while you are PVP dead.

Again, it does not -

Must not enter combat in the system the fight took place in for 45 minutes.

I also strongly disagree with the notion of forcing people to switch characters. There are many people here who are strongly invested in roleplaying one character, who would sooner log off than switch to a different one.
