Just a side note here other than the fact the online attack rule is not a game rule, but merely player-agreed etiquette.

Lately people have taken advantage and screamed foul when there was none, then demand an apology or stim packs. Lately players have stated they were attacked while online when they had no actions in over 15 minutes. When looking at the logs, these players had logged in less than a minute after they were attacked, but were offline for 30 to 60 minutes prior to that.

Bottom line is don't complain to game staff that you were online when you were attacked, as this is a player-only issue. There are items in the game specifically made to counter being in the hospital. If you can't stand being in the hospital when you log in, then best invest in these items.

And when it boils down to it, I can look in the logs and see if you really were online or not. More often than not, the person complaining they were online did nothing for almost an hour. Don't say you were if you weren't, because if you are caught you probably deserve what's coming to you from the community.
