[QUOTE="Alek, post: 2997670, member: 42837"] In this sad little world populated by characters that stretch thin the concept of contexual realism to its breaking point, anyone has just as much freedom to not die in the first place, as they do to come back. The only reason for death to occur at all, is to create drama and attention. With each subsequent resurrection and return to life, this drama and attention is lessened. To anyone who has not yet had/let their character die, read on: It is in your own interest to use the ever loved freedom of destiny to avoid death in the first place, and save Death and Resurrection for a truly momentus occasion, and not a minor squabble. To the players with characters who actually fight to stay alive...Thank you. By the way, Freedom of Destiny is a Concept, not a rule or law. The only rule here is that one must respect anothers freedom of destiny. One does not "Invoke FOD" as a law and poof out of a fight. You kindly tell the other player that you do not wish to be harassed in such a way, *then* poof, OR and much better, is actually avoid what they did in a contexually realistic manner, and highten both of your rp experiences. I've seen people "Invoke FOD" three times now in fights or rp scenarios, only once against me, and in a non important situation, but I can only imagine how frustrating it might be for someone to try and think up a challange to present to another person in character, only to have them go "I dont like that, so it didnt happen". Anyways Im getting very sidetracked, and Im not entirely sure if what I posted has any relevence to the topic at hand anymore, but I was bored.... :uhoh: [/QUOTE]
