I think the reason NRP's suffer so much early death is they bring out competitiveness more than other rp's do. It's almost a rule that an NRP must have at least one guy claiming unreasonable powers, fully expecting that he's going to 'Win' and take everything over. The end result is usually bickering in the OOC, which then kills the RP.

This is one of the reasons I decided to make everyone be on the same side in my NRP.

Also, video game nostalgia.
