I /suspect/ what you mean to say is that there should be a 'consider' command to reduce the amount of -your- deaths because you're too feeble minded to realize that your n00b char is going to get his ass handed to him every time you try to PK someone.
Pfft. Did IQ's suddenly drop while I was away?
You ARE nuts
Are you nuts?
That would take some luck
Now where did that chicken go?
You could do that with a pin.
Perfectly fine in a game that doesn't require real RP to play, and all kills give you exp.
When I'm in a bar and somebody wants to fight, all I do is look at them. Are they a bouncer? Do they have a gun? No. Ok, kick 'em in the nuts. Are they bigger than me? Ok, Kick 'em in the nuts twice. Run.
Lotus is correct. Look at them, concider your actions, don't let code do work that your brain should be doing. Act IN CHARACTER….What would YOUR character do in a given situation? Sheesh.
The short answer is: No. Dream on.
As Rastus stated, it probably wouldn't prevent deaths at all. And your second justification.... hrm, it's definitely not going to make it more interesting. Realistically weighing up a person IC by looking at them, checking for muscular descriptions etc, and using that to determine whether to attack or not, could go either way, with them actually being tough, or just all show...
I ramble.
