Editing Scum: Hurting People (section)

=Overcoming Nerves=

If a Scum has justified the murder, found his victim and not been diverted from his murderous intent, he can now attempt murder.

Don't forget that any-one who has already attempted an avoidance strategy is themselves prevented from attempting murder.

The final step for the would-be murderer is to make a '''Nutter''' test. 

If this test is successful, the victim is stabbed!

If the test is failed, then the would be murderer "bottles it" and loses his nerve, not attacking after all. Though he pulls out his knife, he never stabs, and the target legs it! He can't try again this half hour.

Note that if more than one ''Scum'' is ready for murder (having justified the murder, not been diverted and not attempted a diversion) then all eligible ''Scum'' can make a stab! There's no initiative system or action priority, so its fully possible for two Scum or more stab each other at the same time!
