Player death is permanent for your body on my mud. If you kill someone,
their link is severed and their body destroyed - they have to log back on
and create a new body (with a new name, etc). Certainly, people could log
on under their new persona and whine over the OOC channel (perhaps I should
make it a rule not to?), but by the time they've recreated, several minutes
will probably have passed (which often turns the need to yell into the need
for cold revenge).
The outcome? If you manage to kill them, you loose (humanity), they vanish,
and you quite probably end up with an anonymous assassin on your tail. This
will not discourage everyone, but I hope it will make pointless killing rarer.
