Not sure if this has been brought up before, but if a red dies it doesn't make much sense that 5 hours later he can be put into stat while he could be in the middle of fighting or something. IMO if you wait longer than say 10 minutes and turn the head in after this time period the statloss should not take effect until after the red dies again. It would suck to be in the middle of pvping or something and all the sudden get statloss put on you for something that happened hours earlier. If you turn the head in before this 10 minute window the red goes straight into statloss. If you turn in after this 10 minute window the red will have statloss on his next death (whether that be from you, someone else, a monster, guardwhack, whatever).
