Surrender!

[Cuusardo]

Surrender  (General)  


To surrender to a guard (if your character has committed a crime, and wishes to surrender to the authorities), use the nosave command. Be aware, however, that the penalty for most crimes for a non-citizen will most likely be death.


Syntax:
nosave

criminal, flee, nosave

I've never seen this help file before, and would like some clarification.  In order to surrender when you've been arrested, you type nosave and NOT surrender, correct?

Correct.

I would say "Nosave on" to make sure you are not turning it off.

I don't think we have a "surrender" action other than nosave on.

To make it a bit clearer for future generations:
Having nosave turned on means your character won't try to protect himself from attempts to subdue him. It isn't something you flick on when you've already been arrested. "Surrender" isn't a command.

There is no Surrender command.

Just like there is no Petition command.

But there is a Petition and Surrender help files, for people from other muds who use similar commands.  It helps point them to the right keywords to use.

I rather like the idea of a surrender command being implemented.  It would help to prevent PC deaths to the silly crim code if someone forgot to put nosave on before they did something bad.

Usually the deaths to the crim code happen instantaneous.  (Or near to, being ganked by 9 NPCs in two game ticks)

Should there be a command to STOP a fight and GIVE UP?  Sure.  Perhaps it might force all soldiers to disengage and something something.  This subject's been brought up many many MANY many many MANY times.  I suggest searching for another thread about it, as there's been the answer to the question you asked already given here.
