The seagulls in Cordor East are always dead, lying in pools of blood. Why? Did someone kill them? Do they stay dead even after a reset? Can they be raised? Why do they stay dead in the first place? Is there any good reason at all why the exact same seagull in the same place in blood that doesn't ever go away is always right there?
Why?

The reason why the same seagull is always dead at the same spot is due to the restrictions of the engine. I believe there's more on the IC reasons in the IC forums.

There is a reason... Which my brain is right now refusing to recal, but I do think they should have rotten away by now. Besides I've been jailed for littering in Codor yet dead rotting birds seem ok.
I'm pretty sure the One dead seagull in the same spot represents many dead seagulls in different spots, but due to not wanting to make Disco redo the module every reset it stays the One seagull in the One spot.
There is an IC reason for the dead birds, which can be found on the forums or simply by asking around in the square chances are one of the bored people standing around knows.

Have you ever been shit on by a seagull? I have. There is an uncomfortable moment of hot wet splatter and embarrassment when a seagull bombs you on your lunch break. You return to the office bathroom trying to get it out of your favorite shirt, but for the most part, you just press some of the mess deeper into the seams. Your day: ruined.
I'd kill seagulls too if I had the means!

Have you ever been (censored) on by a seagull? I have. There is an uncomfortable moment of hot wet splatter and embarrassment when a seagull bombs you on your lunch break.
Or when their poo flies directly into your mayonnaise. Gladly I did notice it before continuing eating.

My question is, when is someone going to provide a convincing and trustworthy reason to stop killing seagulls.
Strangely that is a good question.
Unfortunately it's highly unknown if there will ever be an answer from those who had participated in the event. Less likely from those of a natural inclination since they seem to be vanishing faster than a bag of chips after a group weigh in.
Still, it is strange to think that Cordor's clean up hasn't picked those birds up, or that the hungry haven't been dining well on roasted/spitted/boiled/stewed/broiled/fried/baked/sauteed seagulls.
But that's just me and listening to my Da's tales of being a former military police officer. You eat what you have to eat to survive. Frankly roasted seagull sounds really good. Likely cleaner than pigeons anyway.

I believe the birds are cleaned up. Quite regularly actually, whether from city employees or adventuring avian fans.
The problem is, Cordor is a port city and there are many, many gulls, and many new gulls fly in. Gulls are srs bsns and die. So, there are constantly bodies because there are constantly new, dead gulls. Not all of them are bolt-targets, either. I'm sure a fair number of them have been overkilled with magic by bored mage guards who want to make an example. Unnoticed are the heads of many birds lined up on pikes outside the government building, and the fresh newspapers that the innocent paperboy carries.
There is a pretty long DM event post somewhere on the forums where you could gather information. Or, someone in Cordor just saw a certain movie by Alfred Hitchcock.
