At most games I've been too, hardley anybody brings death rags or if they do they don't bring them on the field.
At LC4 there were some 'incidents' because of players forgetting their death rags, at some local events players have bitched about being shot twice while walking off the field, or the opposing team has had to ask "are you dead". Personally its bugged the heck out of me, because I've hesitated to shoot somebody, or needlessly stalked somebody walking off the field who is already dead.
There are two solutions to this problem:
1) Shoot anybody not wearing a death rag even if you think they might already be dead, just to make sure and cover your a$$.
2) Organizers of events make sure every player has one at the start of the game or they can't play.
I hate #1 because it causes arguements, but if you remember your AEG, BB's, Gas, etc. you should remember your 'red rag' as part of your field gear. #2 can be a problem because no doubt somebody will forget it and not be able to play.
The next event I hear somebody yell "I'm already dead" after they get shot while walking off the field, is going to get a loud "ya where's your death rag" from my side.
Anybody else have any solutions to this problem?
