Do you raise dead scripters when they are afk and you are not?

Obviously it is not an issue if the scripts are set up for the eventuality, but if you are hunting your cleric at the keyboard and come across a dead scripter, what do you do?

I'd worry a bit about ;wander kicking in once they were up. Suck to have them run off and die while still linked.

(I may or may not have done this to a cleric once)

raise/kill/heal, rinse, repeat.

I reckon I can make sure an afk body I raise doesn't wander until I am ready for it to die again. (A player pretending to be unresponsive or a script determined to hurt a raiser this way would have a chance, but it will hurt the body a lot worse, both then and later.)

You can close room exits?

Oh that is an idea. Seems like a lot of work though, people die all the time.

If you see Speedy or Sylvester dead please do not raise :)

I was raised this morning, but they also killed me / got me killed, while i was afk. I will raise an afk person as long as they are in a safe area, and no one objects.

Rez them, get xp, bind them, go rest.

I know it makes perfect sense in context, but the talk of dead people wandering around brings thoughts of zombies to mind and makes me giggle.

Wouldn't that make them a zombie-zombie?
