Short-term murder count

**Ally** · 16th January 2007, 01:34 PM

What's the point exactly of a short-term murder count? It's when you get 5 long-terms that you turn red, right?

**Vepl** · 16th January 2007, 01:45 PM

Yes it is five long term counts. Not sure but think the short term had to do with skill/stat loss.

Murder Counts

There are two different kinds of murder counts, short term and long term. When you murder another player you receive both a short-term and a long-term murder count.

Short Term

* Each murder count goes away after 8 hours of playtime.

Long Term

* Each murder count goes away after 40 hours of playtime.
* If you acquire 5 or more long-term murder counts you become "red."
* Your long-term count is always equal to or greater than your short-term count.

Yeah I looked over that page, but I still didn't see why they need to give short term murder counts.

If it's stat/skill loss, I never noticed it.

Ally, if I remember correctly stat/skill loss went away sometime before AoS.

was going to edit my post and say..... that they really dont give a reason for short term, and imo.. they should do away with it(you burn the short at the same time you burn the long so whats the diffrence), but u beat me to it

its not stat/skill loss, they did away with that ALONG time ago

**Ally** · 16th January 2007, 03:10 PM

Okay. Then I agree they should just take that away.

Thanks Vepl and Nevaeh.

well it could be used as a guide for someone who has just 5 counts and is trying to go blue again......

I've got 24 short 27 long on my newest red. Shows how little I play him and how much I kill. They were equal to each other until recently. The short term counts are like Bo said, if you check, you'll notice that for every five short term counts that you drop, you'll lose a long term as well. But I think that anything over 25 is nearly impossible to go blue again.
