OK, one cannot remove "friends/owners".

December 1998 newsposting:
http://groups.google.be/group/rec.games ... 22+%2B1998
(And 'remove thyself' does not work on
friends of the house, or the owner, I tried that!)
August 2000 Stratics Archive:

Eject someone from the house will bring up a targeting cursor and allow you to target someone.
Any house friend may use this command.
The targeted individual will be sent outside the house, 3 tiles from the door.
The ejected character must be a player.
Friends of the house may not be ejected.
A message explaining what happened is given to the victim.

Derrick,

I think Batlin's sources suggest that you can not use "remove thyself' on the house owner as in the house owner being anohter player but I didn't see anything that said that you couldn't target yourself.

Thats a onymoron, only the house owner or friends can use the remove thyself command, so it only works on people who are texas law Grey, or blue in a public house.

A semi-literal answer to your question would be dying in the Lost Lands is no different that dying in Britannia; but if you meant to ask what happens when a red uses the stuck menu in the Lost Lands, lacking and information to the contrary he will still be presented with the option to go to Chaos Shrine for now. It's possible there was a Lost Lands location for murderers, but i don't know of it.

Im not a big fan of the "remove thyself" command being changed. I often used it to avoid recalling, or moving a bunch of tables to walk outside. I have houses I keep refreshed all which are in the same area as the others, so to refresh all the houses now requires more time, or a recall.

However, If you are trying to stay era accurate. I believe that this era did not even have "locked down, secured, or movable trash barrels" I could be wrong, as T2a had many changes, and it depends which date we are going off of, to in fact make it truly era correct.

I remember that the house menu, including the ability to have friends was not originally implemented, but like i said, I dont remember if it was right after the era was implemented or not. Just wanted to pop this in every ones head!
