24 Hour rule and avoidance.

WYSIWYG.

No one should be using mechanically non-existent children as a reason for no violence in a place, or as a defense against any consequences.

You should avoid even emoting the presence of children, if possible.

This . . . is great to know. I've seen this happen all the time in game as plot armor and various things. I always just accepted it and didn't think of it.

[MineTurtle]

Won't someone please think of the children?

Or, please not think about children? Or both!

I remember playing on a server where staves could be modified to look like a baby in a blanket, that your character cradles to their chest.

... And sometimes uses as a bludgeoning weapon.

Good times.

I wonder if a script could be developed some day in the future which gives the loser a greater sanctuary style effect against the winner for 24 hours? That way they could technically still be in the same area and RP together, although that could be a bit weird in that your friend might say, "Wait, isn't that guy your enemy over there? Wanna go jump him?" - obviously that could be fixed by leaving the area with a, "Whoa, I've got a bad feeling about this!" Similar to how you might have died adventuring with your pals, you all raise together, and you're all, "Good decision to end the adventuring when we did or our lives may have ended along with it!"

This kinda sorta already exists, in the sense that, if the loser is not avoiding the winner, they may have Temporary Ban (similar to Greater Sanctuary in effect) cast on them, and thereby become invisible to the winner.

It seems like a convoluted solution when following Wheaton's Law has worked so well in the past.

I mean in a situation where they might accidentally bump into them in awkward fashion such as at the Arcane Tower.

I always just avoided any possible scenario that might have me interact with the person who killed me if I lost a duel or a PvP scenario. If I was killed on the surface, I didn't go there. if I was slain in the hub, I didn't go there. Excetra.

It's really on the courtesy of the loser to let the winner have their moment.
