Sorry, I just noted that you (Jester) had already put up your
design. I see others already pointed out some of the ways players
will abuse it via mules, etc.
My major comment, though, is that I apparently misunderstood your
aim. This isn't a justice system. It's a system for complicating
PK. For instance, in this system, I could in-role rape you (via
emotes or whatever), you could kill me for it, and I'm suddenly the
victim, able to take out a bounty on you. This is what I meant about
systems like this just being a new way to grief people.
Fundamentally, your code will never be capable of recognizing what
most people recognize as 'justice.' Human admin/judges are one
solution, but have their own problems, all of which are seen in your
typical 3rd world justice systems.
