Departed Persons Act (DPA)

NOTE: This is a revised version. The first one needed a quick amendment addressing the Last Will and Testament Option.

Law Text

This act establishes an inheritance option for players and addresses property left behind by departed persons.

Inheriting:

• Every paid player shall be allowed to name 1 player as the 'Inheritor' of their possessions. Should a player quit or remain unpaid for 45 days, the inheriting player shall be notified and have 15 days to claim the items bestowed upon them. If these items remain unclaimed, they become items owned by a departed person.

Under this act, anything owned by a Departed Person or Departed Guild (excluding microphones and mentor shrines) may be claimed by a paid account.

Definition of a Departed Person:

• A "trial" account which has been inactive for 14 days or more.
• An "Unpaid" account which has remained unpaid for 60 consecutive days or longer.
• A "Quit" account 60 days after their account goes into unpaid status.

Definition of a Departed Guild:

• A guildhall which has no paid members in it for 60 days or more.

Note:

• If all elders of a guild have become unpaid, all paid members of the next highest rank shall be promoted to elder.
• A "guilded building", where the guildhall belonging to that building has been torn down, shall be immediately claimable.

History

• Collecting Signatures
• I revisited all the past DPA laws since T1 and tried to keep most of it as similar as possible as it progressed along the years. The one thing I did amend was the time limit for inheriting and claiming items. I adjusted it to an even 60 days like the other 2 statuses to make it easier to remember.
