[QUOTE="Vaslov, post: 5225341, member: 37953"] Great topic OP. It's always fun to play what if. I agree with the posters above who say the result should match the style of the game for ease of access and approach. Who with the ability and planning wouldn't put some sort of plan in place. The government, what ever form it might be, would likely look poorly upon those who usurped their authority and brought the condemned back to life. Likely there would be consequences for the family or organization who reversed their decision. That could lead to all sorts of nifty fighting between power groups. Maybe there is even a special police force to investigate such occurrences (New Law & Order: Rez Patrol!). What leader is going to put them in a place where there is the potential to be disobeyed and undermine the perception of their authority? Can they really afford a fight? I would expect other forms of punishment would be more common as a problem avoided is easier than a problem created. I liked the solution in Hollowfaust where once dead the state owns the body. I think citizens had about three days to turn bodies of the deceased over. Of course there are always those who try to break the law... Finally there is always the gruesome approach of the government providing both the execution and raise. "You shall be hung, raised, quartered, raised etc for the next month." [/QUOTE]
