It's possibly due to the "death by association" code that I heard was put in a while ago.

Anyone who witnesses the crime gets the memory of seeing it with a timestamp of the exact instant it took place. This is down to the second, not just what hour the way you can see on a wanted poster. The game should not accept a report for the same crime on the same person that took place at the same second, but you could have two deaths take place that would show up in the same hour. However you are saying that this definitely did not occur, so I'm stumped for now. If you can identify how to reproduce it, I can do more to fix the problem.


Is the killer part of the check, or just the victim? If yes, is the attribution of guilt from charmee/pet to owner done before the date/time comparison? If done afterwards, the same second + different killer (the pet) would pass your requirements above.

Is it at all possible to die twice. I have seen things die but it just happened on a tick where they healed and then they died again. Could this have happened?

PKd someone and was reported by a handful of tribunal NPCs who witnessed the pk. One crime processed. No bug manifestation there.

I can confirm that this is -definitely- a bug, and one that occurs relatively frequently. It is not uncommon at all to get double reported for a single crime. I have no idea what conditions cause it to happen.

Yes, I think we agree it's a case of only one kill resulting in being wanted for more than one kill. Interestingly, I've never heard more than one duplicate report, even with huge numbers of witnesses. Which starts to lend itself to the whole pet/charmee thing, rather than a problem with NPCs witnessing or reporting generally.

I think it has something to do with pets getting the killing blows.

I am pretty sure I killed Toji myself. Unless I somehow armed my pet with a crossbow and had it shoot him from a room away.
