Assuming that the average level of danger is comparable (those who elect save or die have a larger penalty but it is less likely to occur), if you like save or die, would it bother you that other players can choose not to be subject to it?  If you do not like save or die, would it bother you that other players can choose to be subject to it?</blockquote>
