if two ppl killed each other at the same time usually by melee the one who died first says killed by the guardians and is awarded no point but the one who died second is awarded the point because he survived longer ( kinda like a photo finish)

Opinions are like arseholes - everybody has one.

Knowledge is knowing Tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

There is no such thing as a bad decision, only good decisions based on flawed information.

I was playing king of the hill once and i was killed just outside it by 2 people inside teaming up on me. It said i was killed by the gaurdians. I took this to mean that the gaurdians are protecting the hill and teamed up to kill me, even though it was a free for all.

I've read on forums that people have sniped out each other over long distances, and sometimes the 'you were killed by the gaurdians' message pops up. So it's not limited to melee

Some one probably dropped him with a pistol or some thing and you didn't see it.

when somoene is killed (by any means) when performing a melee attack that would kill a second player, that second player is killed by the guardians. if two people are swinging at almost the same time, the one who swings first gets killed by the guardian and the one who swings a fraction of a second afterwards is killed by the first player. it only works when someone is about to be killed by a melee attack.

it counts as a no-fault kill, so if anyone had done damage to his health beforehand, the kill automatically goes to that person instead of the guardians.

i have recreated all the situations that these people have responded with and they are not right. turst me on this, i am right about it.
