[QUOTE="Kahuna Burger, post: 1433722, member: 8439"] honestly if you don't mean it harshly... well, there's no nice way to end that sentance so, I'll leave it. I'll say it once because this thread is obviously going round in circles and I don't think everyone with this play style should have to answer the same question multiple times... [b]There are more ways to fail than to die, and mere survival is not my idea of winning.[/b] there are many ways to live and still fail. If you are trying to rescue an innocent, THEY can die and you have failed even if you don't take a single hit. If you are hunting down a bounty, they can escape and you have failed, regardless of your life. You can be captured and fail. You can be banished and fail. You can retreat in humiliating defeat from the castle you hoped to capture and you have failed. The question is silly. Failure does not always mean death and success is not measured only by life. At least not in any game I'll spend my time on. The need to ask the question at all indicates that you play a game I would be bored to tears in. Luckily there are plenty of folks to play with you and plenty to play with me. I know this has been covered already, and if I had time I'd quote them but lunch is over. But how did you read the whole thread and still try to say that with a straight face? easpecially: where did that darned eye rolling emoticon go to, anyway? Kahuna Burger [/QUOTE]
