#136228, "That scenario really doesn't sound like cheating to me."


          

If Blou is setting a trap in the Underdark, does his victim have a reason to know that Blou's even there? Does he have any reason at all to suspect a trap in the Underdark? If he doesn't, then he didn't drop link to avoid a PK. He just dropped link.

So what reason do we have to assume that the victim dropped link to avoid a trap, rather than dropping link because he didn't have enough time to walk all the way through the Underdark, recall home, wait out the combat timer and quit out like normal? Every one of us has dropped link at some point due to lack of other options or even just convenience - that isn't cheating.

Sure.. that victim definitely could have been a nefarious cheater exploiting OOC mechanisms. But it's just as likely (if not moreso) that it was entirely innocent. And if they weren't PK'ing at any point previously, I don't think you can automatically assume the guy is guilty. You definitely can't just auto-slay without asking questions.


I know your response will be that an Imm still should have investigated. Sure, I get that and even agree in principle (although Imms' time is limited too and they can't always investigate every minor complaint). But it isn't as if there's an Imm blotter that publicizes all findings, guilty and innocent, is there? You me, and Blou would never know an investigation happened either way, or what the result is.

So... what are we complaining about again?
