PLAYER KILLING There are times when you may be obliged to attack another player, or are attacked by another player. This is simply the way of LotJ, and you must realize that death is not the end. Another character always awaits! To attack another player, use the murder command. If you are the victor, your opponent will be left stunned and at your mercy. The syntax to permanently kill a target is murder <name> perm. Before perming another player, be sure you have justification for perming them! This can include such things as: - Enemy clan member - Self-defense - Player is bountied - Various RP reasons HOSPITALS/DEATH If you meet the following conditions, then you are considered in a SAFE, and will not be permanently killed: - You have 5000 credits on hand - You are not on an enemy clan's planet - There is a hospital in the area - You are not in space The easiest way to ensure that you will be taken to the hospital instead of permanently killed is to look in your SCORE for the Safe(X) flag. If there is no "X" next to Safe, then you should immediately fix what is causing you to be unsafe! The only reason for you to die permanently outside of these conditions above is if it was done Self-defense with their clan.
