Revenge Killing

30-minute cooldown before re-engaging the player(s) who killed or ended your scene. Natural encounters fine. Hunting is not.

The 30-minute rule: After a scene ends — you were killed, knocked out, robbed, kidnapped, or the situation otherwise closed — you cannot actively go after the player(s) responsible for at least 30 minutes. Timer starts when the scene ends, not when you respawn or leave hospital.
What counts as "going after": chasing them down, ambushing them where you know they'll be, calling friends or your gang on them, or coordinating with anyone to put yourself back in their proximity to retaliate.
Natural encounters are fine: if you cross paths in public during the cooldown, you don't have to flee. The encounter just has to be incidental — not engineered. Staff have seen the "I just happened to be there with three of my mates" explanation enough times; if it looks orchestrated, it gets treated as orchestrated.
If they re-engage you, all bets are off. The cooldown protects you from being hunted; it does not require you to take a second beating from the same player.
Linked to NLR (4.x): if you died in the scene, the New Life Rule applies on top of this — you do not remember the events that led to your death.
