Alright so, basically the current PK system is sort of a mess. People have suggested in the past that we should enforce CKs and do away with PKs all together, because in that case it would help with continuity and also might even reduce crime, however it would create a huge workload on the admins who will have to deal with a severe uptick in CK appeals. Currently, there are multiple issues with the PK system. -If a friend kills another friend, you basically have to invent someone who never existed as per the PK rules, and try to separate these two very similar people from your history. -Murder charges against someone who was PK'd can be impossible to investigate, since the actual person killed never really existed -Having your character forget the person who killed you can also lead to severe continuity issues, especially if people you met were via said person. I don't have a solution to these problems besides maybe enforce CK and put up with the uptick in appeals, but I know that won't be a popular option given how most people don't want their character to die to random acts of violence. My character was once assassinated by someone who thought my character was constantly harassing them, even though all she did was call the cops on them once. The scene was voided, but the point is a lot of people on this server are willing to murder someone over unrealistically small things. That would pair very negatively with a permakill system. So, I'm opening this topic to brainstorm suggestions to make this rule more immersive.

So this discussion has been brought up everywhere, from the forums, to discord, to faction chats. Basically, the expectation that we need an admin to void ANYTHING is a bit ridiculous. There needs to be some leeway here, otherwise admins are going to be swamped with numerous reports a minute requesting voids for the smallest things. Hell, the only reason they aren't right now is because most people already do self-void situations where there were no witnesses, everyone on location agrees, or there was an obvious game bug. I understand players self-voiding more serious things like shootings can lead to issues, but there's memes about people self-voiding car accidents (desync) or random punches (misclick). All I'm asking for is a bit of leeway for players to legally self-void inconsequential things, such as: * Bugs (such as launching 50ft in the air when your moped tries to ride up stairs) * Desync (I've got plenty of videos of cars crashing into things, then disappearing) * Misclicks (people already self-void these, but its technically against the rules) * Or generally game fuckery such as TPing on top of a building if you /changechar indoors.
