Another completely irrelevant point. Issue here isn't about me leaving the server (as you said, timer stops when i disconnect), it's about the bounty placer leaving in order to save his ass but still screwing me over with a bounty so the "fight" continues and i can't do anything to stop it. Mike fixed the issue with one side leaving, it's time to do the same with the other side.
Sure I can accept the unfair death, but then why do we have dm rules here in the first place, if our logic is that you don't lose much on deaths anyway? Connect the dots. It's not a DM server so preventing an unnecesary death is kinda what you're supposed to do. It doesn't matter how much you lose, this tends to be changed a lot and fees will probably be a lot higher in the future.
Placing a bounty and quitting is equivalent to robbing someone and immediately /qing which as you know isn't allowed. Leaving the server in order to stay alive and/or unharmed clearly isn't okay. Even if the bounty stays because he had to leave or whatever, at the very least make it so we're allowed to kill them the next time we see them (even if it's a month from now). Obviously, that would be a problem and your ways of figuring out what's DM and what isn't would be jeopardized, so I stick to my original suggestion which makes a lot more sense.
Cancelling bounties after bounty placer quits

"I'd suggest bounty stays on player until he dies itsself and won't dissappear after he quits or the placer quits itself."
"or the placer quits itself"
"placer quits"
nvm read it wrong
however, even though it fixed people quitting to avoid death, it also created a problem with placers leaving..people who quit to avoid death can be fixed in other ways, along with this. Such as jailing and/or compensating the player who was nearby and actually attacked the said player.
+1, and make it this way: if the placer quits within, for example, 2 minutes after placing the hit, the bounty gets canceled automatically. This will eliminate the abuse of this system
