SB 109-02: Don't Kill People Act (Passed)

[GM Team Member and Deputy PPT WB]

I would agree with Cao's amendment and share this concern:

If possible I’d like to hear other members’ thoughts before deciding friendly or not. Don’t care too much about voluntary death myself but it’s stuck around as a legal option for a long time and I assume there probably are some arguments for keeping them? Would like to hear.

If a player "voluntarily dies," wouldn't they be forbidden from coming back without the GM writing a story magically resurrecting them? I could see players using this as a way to deregister "for good" without the temptation of coming back but instead it creates a big issue. We've seen players like Laki/FDB/Ninja leave and rejoin countless amounts of times and I'd imagine most players who consent to the GM killing them off have a similar mindset and might regret their decision a little while later.

Death should probably stay as a condition to declare an office vacant, in case someone important legit dies in RL (assuming we had proof of that), as otherwise we would leave an office effectively vacant for the remainder of the term (or in the case of say, a SCOA judge, literally forever, barring impeachment). It's probably not necessary to add this to the Census Act as we already have auto deregistration after missing three elections.

Thats a rather unfortunate situation actually, because it would be difficult to prove or know if someone died IRL.

Perhaps a bit insensitive to ask but have there been any atlas politicians who died in office? I remember from one of Fhtagn's threads celebrating women in Atlasia there was a former regional legislator who passed, don't remember their name.
