Make it the last player who attacked you. This would be hilarious cause who else would you go after than that person in a drive-by

realism: the inactive accounts are sleeping in their shacks, not walking around on the streets gameplay: this leads to new niche strategies for war, ranked or otherwise fun factor: lmao yes

Currently one of the failures for the Drive-By Assassination crime hospitalizes another player at random. The problem is that it picks a player from the the vast fields containing tens of thousands of inactive accounts.

This isn't nearly funny enough.

Make it specifically pick an active player.

Did not know this was a consequence of failing this crime. I'll give you a R+ just because i agree, it would be entertaining to randomly catch an active player in the crossfire.

Shameless bump. Let's add some random levity to our crime game everyone.

bump

As fun as it was to run over who I think was one of Chedburn’s inactive alts, I know I would find a lot more enjoyment in knowing that I possibly just ruined some poor bastard’s happy jump.

ALargeGayMan [2553112] 13 May 2023, 17:21 TCT · #19

I forgot about this, and will shamelessly bump it.

TrandBirdBorn [2271053] 13 May 2023, 20:03 TCT · #20

I think it would have some weird implications for RWs/raids.

And for that reason R+ it's the kind of random danger Ched is trying to encourage in the game.
