About a month after we arrived, there was the first out-of-game murder. It happened during a Live, so everyone saw it, and right before the murderer killed the victim, he said "they're going to put you back together anyway, so I might as well get some satisfaction out of this." And then he killed the victim in... a really bad way. A really bad way.
Of course, this was our nightmare scenario -- that someone would do this level of violence because they expected us to fix it. We were furious. In our anger, we drafted this policy and announced to everyone that we'd be charging 1500 points per revival, and that we wouldn't revive anyone from the murderer's unit until it was paid. The idea there would be that murdering people would create an inconvenience for both the murderer and their unitmates, to keep it from being too easy.
Once we cooled our jets, we took another pass at the policy and decided some of it was no good. So we changed it.
