• CK rights typically apply between both parties, even if one is the aggressor -retaliation is possible from the ones being threatened.
• Players are welcome to grant kill rights to each other if they feel the storyline has escalated to the point of lethal consequences, but they should document any agreement in case of disagreement.
• Players can also open a CK ticket to request rights from the staff
• CK rights are never a secret or a surprise to the involved parties.
