Ahhh....yes...the perfect place to share what happened to me yesterday.
In the video, I check the vents to see if there are any dead bodies in there. I see blood when I look left (which I thought was strange) so I glance down a bit and see nothing. You can just barely see the shoulder of a body on the ground below me (which I didn't see at the time). I have to admit, being killed for this was a little
triggering, especially since the person who killed me can be seen in the vents walking toward me (wearing the Ella model), and they know I wasn't in the vent area beforehand. From my perspective, they know very well that I didn't see the body and if I did, I would have ID'ed it. What Traitor in their right mind would walk in, look at a body in front of people, and walk away without ID'ing it? But In the video, I do glance downwards and on their computer screen, it may have looked like I looked at the body and ignored it. I do think that this was a crappy thing to be killed for in this instance, but players just can't take that chance. To add to what
@Carned has said, this is the first time in a very long time that I have been killed for "walking past" or "ignoring" and
Unidentified body.
I'm not asking for a change, I'm just here to vent my frustration from this kill yesterday and to say that I understand your frustration as well
@NanCi- . However, making a change to this rule would give too much power to the
Traitors. We just have to be vigilant in-game to make sure we don't put ourselves in these situations, and if you feel that you've been killed for something ridiculous, record it and make a report.
I would also like to mention that I killed
@Mochi a few days ago for being right next to an Unidentified body and then walking away from it. Unfortunately, I don't have a recording of this instance, but I know that afterward she felt much like I did from the above example. Of course it wasn't my intention to RDM her, I had no way of knowing that she didn't kill that player and from my perspective, it looked like the body was in her line-of-sight when she turned around and left the area.
Ever since that incident happened, I have tried to judge those situations more carefully and if the circumstances allowed it, given players the benefit of the doubt. My advice is to just use your personal judgment whether to kill someone for "ignoring an
Unidentified body" or not on a case-by-case basis. Did a gunfight just occur and you arrive to see a player walking by and leaving the bodies? Kill 'em. Are you on the map Dolls and a player walks by an
Unidentified body on the ground? Maybe the player was sniped from above and the person just didn't see the body, or maybe they killed the person themselves. Play how you would want to be treated, I'm sure there are tons of players who would notice and appreciate it. Keep in mind though that people aren't obligated to extend you the same courtesy.
I hope this post was helpful in some way. The lines
do get a little blurred with this rule, but it's something you just have to take in stride, and if you feel like a player is abusing this rule make sure to report it.
