NPCs with "mercy on"

[Talia]

Yeah, you can draw a hardline just for the sake of drawing a hardline. It doesn't mean there is any reason to it, especially when all parties agree there is a mistake involved.

The lines of rules have to go somewhere. Having a line prevents us from consulting our feelings about the deaths of characters, and making decisions about resurrections based on whether we liked a character or the player, whether we need them as a leader, or any other criteria. In short, the rule prevents favoritism and arbitrariness. It provides consistency and clarity of action.

I understand that you don't like the rule, but you are mischaracterizing why the rule is a rule. It's certainly not because staff are powertripping egotists who like to shove rules down players' throats, just 'cause. In fact, rules like this prevent anyone on staff from acting like powertripping egotists.

I have seen, on several occasions, rezzes given when NPCs ganked someone by mistake, though most of those were limited to when clan leaders mixed up kick and dump, or something similar.

I fixed this problem.

By not fucking playing in Luirs or Red Storm.

It "might" help.  It is easier to adjust things playerside instead.

The one and only rez I've ever had approved occurred when a player abused clan-code to unreasonably aggro the gate guards of a T'zai Byn compound on my dude (a liveried templarate messenger who was there to deliver a message to some Lieutenant, IIRC.) Complex situations like this are, to my understanding, always case-by-case, and resurrections are to be considered a discretionary courtesy, not a right.
