Main Idea: If you get knocked out by fists you would have a chance to regain consciousness without a medic's help.

Full description of the idea: If you knock somebody out with your fists they would first get a chance to get back up without needing medical attention, but not always (70% of times). This would take a random time (30s-1m30s).
If the person was to get punched a few more times (4-6) while already dead (ragdolled), the person would not get the chance for regaining consciousness.
EDIT: This would give the attacker a small amount of time to escape. In addition in all of this it would be nice if logs could provide who knocked who out and finished them off (So people don't randomly punch corpses at bazaar for instance)

Why should it be added?: [description here]

Pros:
  • Knocking somebody out would make more sense.
  • It could also be useful if you plan on kidnapping someone into the back of your shop for some weird reason
  • Would give self defense a new meaning
  • Would encourage players more to host fights and create RP scenarios around it without requiring to call a medic every time.

Cons:
  • Not knowing whether the person is dead or is coming back for revenge (Technically a cool addition to RP)

*Other additions:
If you use a bat (or any other weapon which doesn't have a sharp edge) on somebody and wack them over the head (from behind) about x2 they would go into the same state.
Sound would be the same to being in the dying state. Just so players would not be able to know whether the person is going to make it or not.
When you get knocked out the second time, the chance of going into unconscious goes to 10% and to dying 90%. And every next one 1%

EDIT: Life alert would not go off at that time yet. Players would also not drop weapons.

Oof I forgot to add that if you get knocked out again, you start dying.

If you were knocked out, you wouldn't see anything as you'd be unconscious.

Also if struck on the back of the head with a bat, you'd be out in 1 hit unless you're God.

@Dan The reason is just game balancing. We're not taking realism into account. Because then you'd get a bunch of people running around batting people during shootouts.

How is encouraging more fights a good thing? There is already enough fights like if you want to see more fights then just either stand in PD lobby or in front of PD and just wait till two guys start on each other over one of them calling the other guy a "N*gger".

What else do you expect than getting beat up for racial slurs?

Irl if someone gets knocked out and doesn't recieve any sort of medical attention, it's highly unlikely that persons gonna live. In PERPheads, I like to imagine the fall from being knocked out is what actually causes them to slip into a fatal coma and not just the punch on its own.

its a good incentive for people to use proper weapons instead of fists sometimes fists are more powerful than baseball bats when people rank them up im really weak i always get beaten in a fight in perp

It doesn't matter how high strength and unarmed combat you are, the bat will always down in 3 hits or less to the head.

Being knocked out doesn't mean you need medical attention, but surely it'll take you a bit of time to get back up on your feet.
Getting knocked out is a response from your body saying I ain't up for this any more.

system in place atm seems enough , after they’re knocked medics have a lot of time to revive them. For them to have a chance to just “get back up” sounds a bit daft if they’ve just been beaten by the average 10 punches or so.
