Death or anything that renders the character unplayable is that step beyond a consequence you get to RP through and further evolve the story (unless its one of those games where you can come back and often do).
I could see multiple stacking some other sort of consequences together to make up for a "here is where you should have died by pure dice" but not everything is pure randomizers making decisions anyway.
You know, this has replaced my image of HR as this suave and sardonic city slicker into a bearded gruff survivalist. In plaid. Maybe armed. He shows up in the middle of the horror film to tell you just how fucked you are, and won't be burdened with trying to save you.
I'm talking about teaching people to fish.
If people will neither fish, nor eat the fish you cook for them, I don't know what to do.
Except slap them with a fish when they complain.

If she would only stop texting me the weather.
Maybe if you stopped plundering weather APIs she'd think you've lost interest.
@icanbeyourmuse There's been several.
Overall, people can ask to be banned. Someone did it 2-3 weeks ago. I don't see why anyone thinks that request would be denied.
Personally, I'd just reset my password to some machine generated thing, then toss the record.
@silverfox I bet you are too weak to do our dishes and clean the cat boxes.
@raeras How about if each has powers or abilities based on the song they are linked to? Take a cue from the magic styles in Unknown Armies, and songs accumulate magic based on content, and that magic can be expended in content matching ways.
It would probably have to have a lot to do with emotions and wisdom. Possibly ex-loves, lost pets and broken vehicles.
You could even get into alternate, dark or paradoxical reflections of songs as conflicting or contesting manifestations.
Best way to quit is to take a week or two break.
See how you feel then.
If you still arent sure you want to stay, look for other places and take breaks of days to weeks.
Repeat until you decide.
Probably good to keep up with any necessary administrative stuff if you have responsibilities to other players along the way.
No one needs to know a thing until you go away, and even then only if there are questions etc that really need you to answer.
Literally staff and your fellow players can write you out as they need without you.
@greenflashlight hmmm, that got me thinking ... behavior in captivity, meaning less freedom of association with others, generates domineering behavior.
Is human civilization effectively captivity?
@spitfire The answer to your first two questions is me. The threads will open in a day or three, probably. Thats just a guess.
Misadventure is a cause of death in insurance. I make plenty of mistakes so it seemed appropriate.
I had considered mischievous dogs. I was so disappointed in humanity when a small woman was mauled to death by two dogs, and the crime was "Keeping mischievous dogs". I decided to not go with that.
Is therea modification for the forum that would be a request for moderation review for a given post? Not a down vote, though similar, but accessible from an administrative dashboard.
I am all for impersonal, trackable notifications like that.
PS I may over use tags in any form of database.
Tell your stage director that you picked up their changes, but when you got to the address, they had vanished.
I suspect she is clever enough they didn't realize they were moving a body.
@Cobaltasaurus said in What Do You Collect?:
Sorrows.
You can only do this if you plan to make a collection like

Sometimes there is something underneath the problem you think you have.
I thought I had depression. Turns out I have anxiety which eventually gives you depression.
Anti-depression meds only worked so so, anti-anxiety meds were like night and day.
