@apos said in Heroic Sacrifice:

People will tolerate catastrophic losses no problem as long as it doesn't undermine how they picture their character, but if you basically ever suggest their character is less cool than they think it is, a lot of players will fight that to their dying breath, and would way rather be banned while throwing a meltdown of epic proportions than take that.

This right here, 1000x. Not that I'm advocating for anyone having a meltdown, but this takes me back to Firan, where if staff decided to come at you, you were better off hoping for a quick death than jail --> the public shaming --> speeches --> eventual grandiose execution. Because it's your story, and having it dragged over the coals in the 'wrong' direction is way worse than simply having it cut short.
