hey guys! happy vday and stuff! quick q!

how much time needs to pass for grave robbing to become archaeology? like, if i pull a gold bracelet out of a pyramid, i've made an archaeological find. if i pull one out of the common graveyard, i'm a dick. whats the waiting period for looting the dead?

Hm...

"Do they have living grandchildren?" seems like a fair way to judge.

[escardos]

ok but what if they dont? what if they died without children?

or what if they ask the grandchildren for permission?

gwah sorry! woooork exploded

[playitagain]

...this is complicated

Would "old enough to be grandparents" work? It may have its own complications...

ur good!!!

[escardos]

oh that might work better! so like....70 years i guess!?!

[playitagain]

70 years and exceptions may exist both ways?

[escardos]

i guess so? like if someone says that they can't do it despite the 70 years or if it's less than that time and people allow it? that makes sense.

I think that covers it! Hooray, we now have a working set of rules to prevent grave robbery!
