I dont ever remember getting guard whacked if someone eats your poisoned food. But I did when they called the guards.
I remember being able to wait around and watch them die in T2A.

Is it similar to traps, where if you trap it in your pack, you get a count, but if you trap it on the ground you're safe?

I'd suggest testing by making a poison cake (or whatever) by poisoning it while it is on the ground.

nope, each time it says he is poisoned, it says I am attacking the person who ate it. This isnt right and needs to be fixed.

it should be like poisoning a weapon, If you sell it you shouldnt be the one getting the count or guard wacked

when you eat something poisoned you get the message "so and so is attacking you", poisoning food is not a defensive act such as to keep something safe it is an aggressive act. Like endlessly tinkering traps in your pack just to kill snooping thieves is more aggressive then defensive.

You should receive murder counts but you shouldn't be receiving a physically attacking a person message. From personal memory, I do not recall these messages.

Don't stand near your friends you just fed the poison food to... it seems that's just as bad for your health as the food.

;)

Remind me not to invite you to a pot luck.

I tried replicating this but was unable to. I tried poisoning a fish steak the following ways:

1. Poison steak while on floor of my home
2. Poison steak on ground outside of my home
3. Poison steak while in my pack inside my home
4. Poison steak while in my pack outside of my home
5. Poison steak while in my pack inside a guard zone

I also tried consuming the fish steak the following ways:

1. Inside my home
2. Outside my home
3. Inside a guard zone

My poisoner never flagged criminal once, the blue eating the steak never received an "attack" message from my poisoner, and was unable to report my poisoner for murder after death.

really hicha?

That simply was not the case back when I was doing poisoning. This is the reason I put poison on my already statlossed tinker pk. When did this change? Can staff verify?
