The character wasn't IA.

08:58<IzzyCreamcheese> wackback only happens on human, active targets

I assume you speak about recent events, the one who WB'd was active at the time of the shot I believe.

I do not know the ins and outs of wack backing. I'd be curious to know if you can still wack someone back if you have no gun though?

(I'd be interested to know the roleplay behind the WB death message, I'm not sure if it's someone shooting back, or a gun blowing up in their face?)

WB death leaves a sour taste in my mouth though, I don't feel like it serves any real purpose in the game other than to piss on people who have spent hours upon hours on an account, to then die by a shot that they should be hitting.

WB death rarely occurs. It should occur more often to balance out the game.

Apologies, was still in the process of writing before your reply.

Also this:

[13:58:50] <CrummieBunt> How active btw?
[13:58:54] <&IzzyCreamcheese> not IA
[13:58:58] <CrummieBunt> Ah, ok
[13:59:01] <&IzzyCreamcheese> i dont remember what we did
[13:59:03] <&IzzyCreamcheese> 3 days?
[13:59:05] <&IzzyCreamcheese> 5 days?
[13:59:11] <&IzzyCreamcheese> its not "on the 60 second list" type thing

"Just a reminder, Death Wackback is currently enabled but only triggered when shooting live, active, human made people. You can not die a wackbackdeath from an MIA/IA/NPC/Tyler/RIA or any other game created account."

Taken from an announcement thread. You can't wackback die on inactives.

I think it only makes sense to cop a wackback death from an active, 60 second listed player. If they aren't online at the time of the shot it's like the are being shot whilst sleeping in their bed.

I like a 'last 5 minuets' type of thing as it takes time to doze off to sleep, or get your ass on a plane and hit the old country. If we're not thinking war tactics, it could even be last 60minutes.

Good point, not sure I could explain it. My theory has been debunked!
