What's the title of your suggestion?: Removal of majors when KO'd
What's your suggestion?:
A removal of the rule listed here:
How will this benefit the server and community?:
Plain and simple: this rule is outright dubious and unneeded. I understand that, in context, being knocked out is dangerous. I understand that unconsciousness is NO joke. However, nobody RPs them as seriously as they should be and KO's happen way too easily to begin with. Like- RP fights are over in three hits due to combat RP's standard rules, that default to the opposition being "KO'd" in order to be considered a victor (if you can even consider it RP to begin with half of the time) are the norm- they're the main way fights are handled and there's no real CHOICE in the matter. You hit someone three times, they're KO'd, that's the standard.
...What??????
This leads to far too easy of perm baiting - and perms for what? Something blown COMPLETELY out of proportion? If you have a fight on school grounds, or even in the street for that matter - and you get KO'd - escalating that to literally kidnapping someone, promptly knocking them unconscious and then outright removing one of their limbs? Which is a permanent scar on their psyche? Which is absolutely far worse, far more vile, than the mild inconvenience of spending 5 OOC minutes KO'd?
Seriously??????? Like take a scenario of a Grade 12 bullying a Grade 10. Grade 10 lashes out. Grade 10 wins miraculously in the fight due to GODLY awful rolls on the Grade 12's part. Suddenly the Grade 12 can remove the Grade 10's leg because ":( u knocked me out...!!! *snarls with hunger for perms*"
It goes beyond just revenge, it simply makes no sense for the average person to do such a thing. Yes, the rules say you need a valid IC motive, but you know for a fact that doesn't stop anyone from digging to come up with some obscure reason. And in the end, the rule is there to say they can. So they will.
In my opinion, with the rules, minors should beget minors.
A KO can stem solely from minor permissions, much like the breaking of a bone, which depending on circumstances should also not infer major permissions??? IMO???
Like. If you happen to consequentially break a bone in a scuffle, say, a lower rib or a knuckle or your nose, etc, that's to be expected from a rough fight, obviously? Of course, actively going out of your way to break someone's leg, fair enough, that's a lot more serious...
...But EVEN THEN???? I think limb/eye removal is just. Too much. It's just... wildly edgy. It's unnecessary. It makes no sense. And it can just be abused way, way, too easily. Why it hasn't been changed is beyond me, personally.
Adjusting this rule should massively help the community because it will cut down on just how unnecessarily grim things are. Yes, this stuff happens in the real world, I know, but to the level it happens on the server?
People genuinely just do not fear consequences or getting caught at all. Even if they have a mask, even if they take STEPS to avoid it meticulously like a mastermind, there should ALWAYS be that fear of getting caught, leading an average person to step back and ask themselves:
"Is it really worth taking this guy's arm because we knocked each other out at school?"
Thank you.

Small Addendum: at the VERY LEAST, make it so it's STRICTLY with weapons if there must be a KO clause for major permissions. Unarmed fights leading to limb removal is just a nono.
