Suicide question in game

Hi guys. I was making plates of fate styled game for past 3 months (or 3 years, if counting from beginning), and I have came to the point where I want to make PvP items. Bombs, mines, and much more. But, with such things, players can kill themselves, and technically that’s called suicide. Does scenarios below are allowed to be in game:

  1. Player obtains bomb. Bombs can be cooked, or in other words you can fuse them, and then hold in hand until you want to throw them. Player now wants to eliminate other player with it, but successfully cooks bomb for longer than needed and as result he commits suicide.
  2. Same as above, but player intentionally holds fused bomb in hand and blews himself.
  3. Player receives smth that they can place on ground and it can deal damage - spike trap, landmine. Player places it on ground, and after minute forgets about it. And, when someone chases him, Player steps on trap and kills himself.
  4. If any of things above are allowed, am I allowed to make death messages like “Player has commited suicide”, “Player forgot where he placed his mine”, “Player killed themselves”, and etc?

IDK what I’m allowed to do in such cases. I know, that players shouldn’t be able to stub themselves with knives, point guns into themselves, and so on, but some mechanics may allow to commit suicide but with intentions that players won’t want to do that, and idk what to do again…

There’s no way this is an actual question? But anyways, here’s the answer

Just don’t write the word I guess, maybe just work around it. A normal person would figure out what the meaning is even with your workaround, but roblox is stupid so they won’t figure.

From what I know you should be fine as long as what you have in your game does not encourage suicide in any way. Scenarios that you described here should be allowed. But it still is a good idea to stray as far from it as you can while still being able to implement what you want.

activities that may create an extreme risk of physical harm

Does that mean it’s technically okay to imply it, as long as it doesn’t encourage it or show the actual action of doing it?
