An OOC one I mean, like typing 'hit' alone will tell you if you can "brawl" there safely (oxymoron?).

It's been a while, but I believe certain taverns do warn you. Otherwise no there's no prompt. In general I would recommend using the room descriptions, proximity to guards, and presence of vnpcs as a general guideline.

You can also check out the new "threaten" command.

The helpfile also states that too..

Notes:
   If you want to test whether a location allows brawling, you may type
'hit' without any victim.  Additionally, if you type 'hit <person>' and
the location doesn't support it, you will get a message letting you know.

You win Armageddon, congratulations!  Type 'credits', then store your character and make a new one

On a related note, if you are currently wanted, it will only display it in the area you are wanted (or a room away, and/or specific spots) and you can reveal it by typing STAT.

That's also good to know, D.  Danke.

I saw this, and immediately scanned the list of posters looking for Dr. Danke because I misread.

Dibs on that name in the future, and I'd also like to say that typing 'Hit' for the brawl check isn't necessarily a check for crim-code. Is there a command that can check the difference between 'This room is enforced with law by code' and 'this is a wilderness room where no one cares'? Or was that answered above and I just didn't parse it. It feels like that's where the thread went, with everyone satisfied with the answer to this question, but I didn't actually see the answer.

As far as I know, there is no command or consistent room description that would allow a player to definitively know if an area is under crime-code protection or not.

Might be an Ask the Staff question for the most dependable answer.

But you cannot buy protection

*laugh*  Sorry.

AFAIK, there's nothing like that.  As Seeker said, 'Ask the Staff' is probably the best way to go.

Not understanding crime code as a player when your character would have known not to do something but the player doesn't quite connect all the underlying dots involved definitely sucks and can have a negative impact on roleplaying. ESPECIALLY when you get wanted for something that you previously didn't get wanted for.
