[quote=@Gowi] I have already made points (as has [@ClocktowerEchos]) about why it does add depth, conflict, and so forth. It can be elaborated even more, but I believe we have already made great points on why it [i]does[/i] add things to the RP even if it isn't an individual's preference if you re-read the discussion more concisely. As for if it is contrived, the argument can be made that the concept of being trapped within the framework of virtual reality is contrived in the first place thus every way of tackling death can be seemed as forced, hackneyed, and so forth. True, it is a lot of us speculating and debating rather than knowing for the time being. But how the GM handles death can be the deciding factor in many users on both side of the debate it seems. [/quote] What you are saying is that, basically, our arguments are pretty much invalid, because they are objectively worse, right? I mean, that is what I have read between the lines, at least. I'm not saying that I judge you for that. What you have brought up is better than what we brought up.
