+1. "If you die defending a base during a raid you may not return to the base until the raiding party has left the base." After he got killed, he didn't return to his base. He remained across his base, and I'm also seeing that staff members have different views on NLR. During this sit, I asked one staff member if it was considered NLR, he said yes. I asked another, he said no. I personally do not think it is, but if it is considered NLR, it should specify a range. I don't know Blaze very well, but I am pretty sure his intention was to not NLR.
"he was across the street which is still pretty close to his base." What isn't "pretty close" then? There is no specified range, I believe. Rules should state this and should be more clear in my opinion.
