			1) Escalation resulting in murder is only acceptable within reason. If your life is in danger, you may always reply with lethal force. In most cases, fights end when one party enters critical condition, or is otherwise incapacitated. Theft, break ins, destruction of property, being victim of a prank, and other inconveniences are not, without aggregating context, reasons to kill another player or force them into a life or death situation. You do not need to explicitly express intent to a player you intend to escalate against. Acts such as moving within melee range, drawing a weapon, speaking into a radio, or other means of manipulating a scene are considered minor escalations and a cue of additional escalation, heeded or otherwise.
			*1.1: What goes around comes around; reciprocal response as well as proportional escalation is expected against aggression.
