Each player are allowed 3 chances, while both of them have used the chances up. IIRC getting podded counts.

killed = #ship destroyed#
otherwise you would be out of the game.
also, I have only been podded twice - by solarwind - and he has only been podded twice - by me. So, no, we should not be out of the game, even if you counted podding as deaths. Once you have been killed 3 times though, it automatically eliminates you.
(edit)
by killed, i meant killed=1 death. So, get your ship destroyed 3 times and you are out.Last edited by aeturneus; September 22, 2001, 23:55."There are but two powers in the world, the sword and the mind. In the long run the sword is always beaten by the mind."

I was under the impression that it was 3 deaths and you're out.

When you are podded your ship is either destroyed or captured.
At any rate, if you look at your own record there's nothing like "deaths."
There is an entry called "Times Blown Up," or something like that.
So I don't think you can use "deaths" as a selector.

I thought you're dead when someone/thing blows up your escape pod. You'll have to wait for day to restart with a standard merchant vessel. You do keep your other assets however (phew!). 'Times blown up' is just an indicator of your piloting skills.

exactly, captvk. When you get that lovely #ship destroyed# next to your name, and you are locked out of the game for the day, the game logs that as 1 death.

Ok, this is a question of opinion, but what is an escape pod for if you are not alive when you are in it?

It seems that there is no record of number of deaths per se, so I don't think the game server can act on that automatically.Originally posted by CapTVK

If that is the case perhaps a log should be kept here, and Dan will be asked to log out anybody who gets killed three times.
So I have 1 death and everybody has 0, or is that something else?(\__/) 07/07/1937 - Never forget

I *believe* the game logs number of times blown up, and this is the number that it uses to determine if you're allowed to be let back into the game or not. In UR's case, he wasn't being allowed to log into the game because his user record showed him as being blown up three times. After looking at the logs, it's obvious he was only blown up once or twice at that time
so I deducted one "blowup" from his user account.
What I'm not sure about is if having your ship destroyed and ejecting your escape pod counts as "being blown up" -- I think it does, but I'm not sure. I do know that if your escape pod is destroyed you have to wait a day to get back in, and I don't think this is really related to how many times you're "blown up", it seems more like an anti-cheating mechanism.

actually, as opposed to being an anti-cheating mechanism, I believe the one day wait is the reward given to the person who blows you up.
