Protection

=== Protection ===

Player protection was added to the game to allow players a chance to build a character without being randomly killed just because you are active. When your character strength reaches 80% of the current strongest player in the game or you reach the rank of crew leader [Boss/Don/Godfather], Your protection will be dropped and you will become vulnerable to being shot and MHS'd.

Protection is a feature to allow you to build a character while you keep your head down, It will not protect you from making enemies if you threaten/refuse to pay back aggs or use any feature found within the conflict page. The best advice to avoid getting yourself killed through protection is to read and follow your cities bar rules. These rules state what the current players [The Regime] in power expect from other players and breaking of these rules open yourself up to being killed by them for disrespecting their rules. You can also in return whack a regime player for the same reasons for breaking their own rules, but at the cost of your character most times.

Under edit your profile in [Options:character] You are able to see your character's current status for protection, You are able to drop protection early to enable yourself to shoot and mhs after 6 hours from when you dropped but during this cool-down period you are susceptible to being mhs'd with no warning you were tested. It's not advise to drop your protection unless you accept it will eventually end with your character dying, Admins will not reinstate your protection for any reason.

Should you are be killed while under protection without a justified reason/breaking rules and you have opened up a ticket on our discord server, Your character will be revived to it's prewhacked state.

=== Mark of Death ===

Mark of Death [MoD] is a feature that allows a player to whack another player that is currently under the "protection status", This feature should only be used if the player you intend to whack has wronged you in a way that warrants them to be killed, The player refuses to payback a crime on you within 30 mins after being messaged/sent a journal, breaking one of the city rules or has tried to gbh you are a couple examples, To mark someone the "event" you wish to mark them for must have been within 3 days of the shot.

To mark a player you will need to toggle the "Mark of death" which will open up a reason for the mark, You must type the reason why your marking the player here. when you execute the whack with the box toggled your shot will bypass their protection and hit them as well as send an admin the reason for your mark. After marking a player if they die or not as the shooter you have 1 hour to open up a ticket on our discord under Mod appeals/evidence and post the evidence backing the reason for your mark. If you do not the player will be revived/restored to before the shot and you will lose the reason to mark the player so it's best to have as much evidence as possible before trying to send in a half-baked mod case as admins will not get any evidence for you it's entirely up to you to prove them guilty.

=== Revives ===

If you are a player that has been marked/killed under protection, You will be given the reason for your death and the option to lock your account, Locking your account prevents your character's stats from being lost if too much time between your death/revive happens once your stats are lost there is no chance of a revive. After locking your account you will need to open a ticket on the MafiaMatrix Discord under Mod Appeals/evidence and request the revive giving the reason why you feel you were wrongfully killed, which admins will be able to search up logs/journals while ur account is locked.

If you are Marked for a justifiable reason, You will not receive a revive and it will be allowed for them to finish you off or your account will be unlocked for you to create a new character. Should you choose to drop your protection at anytime after being shot you will also lose ur chances at a revive, but it allows you to fight back on your attacker without waiting for the 6 hour cool-down period if that's your choice.
