I'm having a bit of trouble though with people who say "hey, nobody loses that much in a row and one win will put you back to honored again."  I say that from experience, having experienced 7 straight losses before I got One win, let alone  trying to recover from disgrace with students depending on whether I win or lose.I know the "old schoolers" here are having trouble with there being no death associated with what Vanor proposed (the term "death lover" comes to mind for those sorts of folks.. I've had enough excitement like that in my RL, I prefer not to see it in the games I play).  I say, by all means kill yourselves off if ya want, sepuku is always an option.  Hell, I'll even act as your second in that case, one swipe of my katana and you won't suffer all that much from splittin' your own gut open or from slicin' your jugular vein just to end yer character's miserable life.  I'd be quite happy to assist, and wouldn't gain a bloomin' thing from it.*said a bit sarcastically* We're already suffering from a reduced player base, why not do something to discourage more new players from trying it out in the first place by killin' them off and making them face death even in an IC sense.*ok, break from sarcasm*I'm trying hard not to speculate on a game that I'm still learning to play.  I can try to relate you to my experiences, that is about the best I can do, and if someone doesn't understand because they haven't walked in my shoes... I don't take it personally.  I might try to show them the path I've traveled, though.</blockquote>
