I know you all have seen or played this new game “Buckshot Roulette”, I’m recreating it but with a twist, it’s a 4 people multiplayer. This is how it’s going:

The game is going pretty well, but there’s a feature I didn’t wanna add because I don’t wanna risk my game from getting deleted: being able to shot yourself.

Games that depicted suicide like the Russian Roulette games usually get banned pretty quick, and suicide or self-harm are said to not be recreated in any games as the ToS of Roblox says. However there’s a game that already recreated the Buckshot Roulette game and there’s the option to shot yourself there, here’s a picture:

This game is 13+ and seems that admins don’t care about taking action on it, so can 13+ games negate the rule of suicide or self-harm? Or should they be at least 17+?

Btw, this isn’t really direct suicide, after shooting yourself you only lose 1 live and when you reach 0 you die, but still, it’s self harm.

17+ at minimum, its a risky area because shooting/guns is allowed on roblox but you also really aren’t meant to make games to shoot yourself. I would come up with a different approach.

Maybe shot at a rope and an anvil falls off? Would that be good enough?

I’m pretty sure that its still not allowed in 17+

Just turn them into foam darts. I think it would be funny.

100% against the TOS of roblox, you’re game is going to get taken down just like russian roulette did.

You could adjust the rules if the game, so there are 2 losers, and the losers 1v1 each other, and the loser is out.

Something like Breaking Point

Just because the game doesn’t have a permadeath mechanic doesn’t mean that it’s not depicting suicide.

Anyway, the answer is no. Case closed. I’m getting tired of seeing people ask if suicide is allowed. You literally answed the question yourself. Use 1/2 an ounce of common sense.

You shoot a rope and a trapdoor opens under you… :thinking:

Edit:
But you don’t die when you fall, maybe you fall into a room underneath? I’m pretty sure you will be fine if you just look down, a trapdoor opens, and then you just fall into darkness because it does not really imply that you die

Why do people want this, its not the first time i seen posts about this topic. It shouldn’t be a thing at all as far as im concerned, “S” in its self is a sensitive topic and shouldn’t be taken lightly.

Exactlyyy that’s what I’m thinking. Suicide is no light topic.

What were you on when making this? If you know games that’ve been taking down for the same, why would you ask?

Never cook like that again.

Wait, is the _uicide feature made by the devs, or is it just Player Behavior?

made by the dev(s)
in that game the only way to trigger the suicide scenes are either you literally reset or there is a special npc that triggers players into a quick time event and if they fail then it does that

Not as graphic or implied + built in Roblox feature

What happens?
