I'm not sure about which staff member you spoke to about this, but your kidnappers locking you in a deadzone to get your loot is fail-rp, and a bannable offense, not to mention you probably are not the first person to die this way. Depending on how many people actually died in this manner, if you make a ban appeal, the people who kidnapped you could end up getting permanent bans.
Sorry, could you clarify on this? I fail to see how it is fail RP.
With max. survival, the time it takes for a maxed water bar to deplete is FORTY FIVE minutes.
A deadzone takes a significant time to kill a player, certainly long enough for anyone seriously intending to pay the player's ransom, especially when you add travel and warning times. If the kidnappers are actually seeking ransom (which they are obligated to pick an amount for, and obligated to accept when payed) than there's no reason not to do this. Without this, players could be waiting well over half an hour, for something which is essentially a harder version of a rob.
A deadzone takes no time at all unless they have a gas mask, even with immunity fully skilled it will only take about 2 minutes. Not enough time if you have to break into a base to be rescued, not to mention that most people that aren't donators probably don't have immunity maxxed as that is one of the farthest skills from their mind because there are no zombies and therefore virtually no reason to go into the deadzone. Most people don't even wear gas masks because there is no use and balaclavas actually provide slight protection. So unless you have enough XP and feel like maxxing all skills you probably won't be surviving for more than 30 seconds. The time from when I was abducted and put into the room was maybe 3 minutes, not enough time to ask a buddy to get on if they aren't already because nobody is going to pay to save some random player unless they're really generous. As of now, the only players using the deadzone for this purpose are iya and Skelle, and they have both said that they would rather get the ransom than the loot so it would make more sense anyway to just leave them in a room and wait the time for dehydration/starvation as it would give even more time for the ransom to be paid. They could even go around doing other things besides watching the person because there's a sentry in the room trained for if they pull out a weapon. The only reason that they wouldn't want to go do other things is if the police are very active and know what to do and decides to rescue the person being kidnapped, in which case they could, as I said earlier
and multiple times, they should drop a gas mask in the room and then unlock the cuffs and put them in the room seeing as there's no chance of a 2v1 in an enclosed space with 2 guns trained on you. That at least lengthens the time to around 4-5 minutes based on their current radiation.
you fool. you absolute buffoon. you think you can challenge me in my own realm? you think you can rebel against my authority? you dare come into my house and upturn my dining chairs and spill coffee grounds in my Keurig? you thought you were safe in your chain mail armor behind that screen of yours. I will take these laminate wood floor boards and destroy you. I didn’t want war. but i didn’t start it.
