Oops.. this didn't go to the list the first time.
We originally had a system very similar to this..
But it turned out to be too simple for some of the things we wanted to do.
Right now, we keep a linked list of a person's pk opponents. When one
person attacks another, they are added to that list (or the timer is reset
if they are already in the list).
If an opponent is killed or the 5 minutes expires, the list is updated and
they are once again safe from each other within safe rooms.
Also, if your list contains any enemies, you can't quit, use teleportation
spells, others can't cast beneficial spells on you, etc.
