Respawn System

---

Zomboid is the story of how you died, its a bleak and oppressive setting, not to mention a very challenging game. Death is inevitable, even for the best players. Luckily, death isn't the end. Even if your character dies this season, you can play them again next season when the story is reset. 

So, how do you go about death in a roleplay server? Well, ZUG uses a revival system. Your character has 3 lives, every time you "die" you're actually just going unconscious. You have two options at this point, you can wait for another player to save you, or you can respawn and take one life. In either case, you can't just wake up instantly, you still need to RP your injuries. Make sure you respawn, BEFORE you disconnect, or the skill recovery mod won't work.

There are some exceptions to this rule. If you're bit or dragged down, you still lose a life even if you're revived. If you're unable to get to your body, you can simply respawn anywhere else and RP it as you getting away, but losing your bag. In this scenario, regardless of where you were bit, you will have to amputate a limb (you can pick which limb). Also, if you're executed by someone, or double-tapped, its an instant permakill. Try not to sweat about this, no one is allowed to actually kill you without a good reason. 

If an admin is online, you can have them reapply some injuries (you can use the holes in your clothes to find out where) so actual medical supplies are used. If an admin isn't online, submit a ticket so they can apply them later. Most importantly, you need to **RP YOUR INJURIES.** If you're shot, even though the zomboid medical system will fully heal you within a couple days, you should RP the couple weeks it'll take to heal from a gunshot wound. Maybe, it even left a permanent injury, such as a limp. Admins can even give you a fracture if you wanted to RP a bad leg injury. 

The final thing to keep in mind is some leniency with with realism. Realistically, someone getting shot or stabbed likely isn't going to survive when all they have is some clothing thread, and a shaky burger flipper who doesn't know how to even suture. If we enforced a doctor applying real medical treatment, we might as well as go back to 1 life permadeath. However, having a non-medic heal you should have some repercussions, like a nasty scar, infection, or a permanent injury. This is, afterall, the apocalypse.

You have 3 lives

If another player saves you, you don't use up a life

If someone executes you, you instantly permadie

If you're bitten, you always lose a life, and have to amputate. 

Regardless if you're saved or revive yourself and use up a life, you're still expected to RP your injuries.
