If the person has just killed/stolen from another player, or has a mob
hunting them, then the person can hop into OOC and avoid retribution
(seems to me that most OOC rooms would be nokill and safe). They could sit
there for hours on end and eventually the players hunting them would go
away or the mob hunting them would be killed by someone else.

Make sure that they are not poisoned, diseased or afflicted with anything
else that is detrimental. Would be an easy way out of poison. Just go OOC
until the spell wears off. Then again, maybe make it so that spell timers
are not counted down while in OOC.

*laugh* That's a good one! Been a while since I've seen someone seriously
state that AD&D is RP. Hehe... Oh.. Sorry. I'll get ahold of myself. When
it comes to RPin, there are many more games out there that do a better
job. AD&D is more roll-playing than role-playing.
