It's easy... you break into the victim's flat, and wait just behind the door with a machete.

When the victim comes into their flat, slash violently at their neck area, several times if necessary. Make sure you're wearing cheap clothes that you're willing to burn, and have a change in a plastic bag in the bushes nearby, as well as a number of towels.

In my experience, this always stops prank wars quickly, effectively, and at a relatively low cost.

Your mistake was not including the fashion tip "Wear a Guy Fawkes mask".

I'm surprised as well. Usually when I see things downmodded this severely I can at least see why.

Once downmods for a post cross a threshold, sheeps seem to get clicky.
