But also possible you could see a 3 day target up mere hours after it dies.
You're suggesting what some have started calling "linked respawns."

It's a reasonably popular idea, and a lot are intrigued by it because of the dynamic factor your mentioned. However, most have put that aside in favor of semi-random repops which is generally the most popular solution.
