Re: Can anyone write some better escalation rules?

Honestly if someone just starts messing with your stuff I don't think it should be the player's duty to keep them in the round, especially since there ARE ways to still play the game postmortem [unless you're banned from those, which sucks for you].

Re: Clothing Damage Change
