A meme using that headline caused the thought to pop in my head, thanks for finding it.Apparently legally speaking:
A US Prisoner Briefly Died, Later Argued He's Served His Life Sentence
After the incident, the prisoner asked the three-judge panel to let him get on with his life.www.ndtv.com
No.
"[Prisoner] is either still alive, in which case he must remain in prison, or he is dead, in which case this appeal is moot" -The judge in question
Somewhere, a rules-lawyering D&D player suddenly became unreasonably angry and doesn't know why.Apparently legally speaking:
A US Prisoner Briefly Died, Later Argued He's Served His Life Sentence
After the incident, the prisoner asked the three-judge panel to let him get on with his life.
No.

And multiple threads about tyrant GMs not respecting player agency have found their inspiration.
The whole “the DM didn’t let me cheat therefore they’re the worst DM evar” thing never gets old. Tell me you throw video game controllers at the wall when you lose without telling me you throw video game controllers at the wall when you lose.
As we all know, GMs are infallible noble creatures with everyone's best interests at heart, and players are selfish dishonest monsters who will happily torpedo the game for the slightest perceived advantage.
I do that exclusively, as a rule. Do people not?
I know right? Its like D&D is more destructive to relationships than Diplomacy.
