This would add hugely to the manpower requirements of a game
especially at it's release before the radical impact of such a
system is comprehended by it's users. As it is probably that we can
achieve identical results programmatically it then becomes an
implementation decision as to whether to use GM or CPU resources.

This is why only victims killed by another player can file for a
bounty to be placed so than no other reason bar murder is valid.

Enforcing RP is not something I'd want to consider in a system where
I am trying to move away from 'forced' artificial mechanisms as a
whole.
