Is the death beep IC or OOC?

The beep is an alert to you the player to pay attention.  You pay attention to see the information your character should have.  If you look, you are using an information gathering command so that you can pay attention better.  If you simply flee, you're reacting ICly to the OOC clue to pay attention.  That's like jumping through the window when someone knocks on your door in real life.  You don't know the person knocking on the door is there to kill you, but you assumed.  It's ridiculous.

I don't hear any beep unless I'm wearing my headset. And since the beep is the only audible thing that occurs in Armageddon, I don't wear my headset when I'm arming. So - no beep for me. It's OOC.

The majority of corpses do NOT emit beeping noises when they die, the beep is OOC.

With appropriate roleplay of course.
