2 Overhead skull

Skull is a type of overhead property of the player.
Traditionally, the player is not skulled. A player becomes skulled if he initiates a fight with another player in PvP area. That means, that if someone attacks you in the PvP area, and you attack him in return, you will not get skulled, but he will.


2.1 Removal

If player is skulled, the skull lasts until death, or until timer is depleted.
If, however, the player attacks someone in the PvP area, resulting him to get skulled, the skull timer is reset instead (prolonged).


2.2 Death

If player is skulled and he dies no matter the location, he will drop all his items on the floor.
The items will be visible to player who dealt most damage to him, and after some period of time, visible to anyone.
