[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 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] It really isn't that important tho and doesn't add too much of everything... The only thing it adds is fluff to the world of the RP. I mean are we really expected to die and never come back? This isn't a show this is a rp and were are all trying to be 'that guy'. You know the Goku, Rock lee, Kirito, Hei, the Urkel... No matter what the situation is, are we just supposed to quit on all are post? On all are hard work cause of death that one person has complete control of? That doesn't sound fun too me. IF its perma death it should just be a wall to deter us from acting without thinking and making risky decision. But don't those risky decisions make an rp great? Ie; Look at the sword stuck to the ground surrounded by skulls! What happens if I touch it... If everyone is getting molly whopped and that means the death of all you guys, cya wouldn't want to be yah! Ill take my happy ass back to the nearest safezone. But you can't just wipe out the playerbase, what would be the fun in that? If that really is the case sounds like im going to be making boring decisions in the Rp and just riding along until I get so bored I Leeroy Jenkins it. But we it wont be easy for us to die if Perma death is the case. If it's like log horizon death, it matters even less! It's not like I will be handicapped beyond having fun or not being a functioning character in the team. That "discussion" with all your "elaborate points" doesn't change or mean anything, especially when the all mighty GM probably had an idea they wanted to use. Everyone so far has been just been dropping their collective thoughts on death, but you and [@ClocktowerEchos] decided to jump Pyro on every other sentence they put to "objectively" explain why their wrong and then baiting others with a passive aggressive tone so that others had to inform you to quit the aggro of your random hostility to seem superior of an Idea that doesn't or shouldn't matter to much to us. Now creating a larger overarching arguments in the OOC about an Idea that only the gm can make and that we all know is more of fluff then actually effecting the PC. The whole thing is [b]Embarrassing[/b]. So stop fighting kiddies! There is so much more to the world that we can be discussing about and sharing ideas.
