so it's like an honors system for character storytelling.The way I see it is that death is one of several possible conclusions to a character's story. If you die and you're satisfied with how things ended, or the impact you made, then your character can remain dead. Otherwise you might as well have another go to keep your story moving along. If you feel you've reached the end of your character's arc, then death is a choice, or simply retiring them to some quiet epilogue.
Lets go through this:still considered a boy tho
and even still chances are if you're a squire, most of the time you're under trained and maybe even lesser-armed, not saying that's always the case for determining a warrior but still^
I'd say I only saw two people actively call him a boy. Bronn Westergard and Malek. The latter was mostly when he was incapacitated by the Grafjell Zombie storm.still considered a boy tho
He was more trained than your average Crossroad Mook. He had both Anhalder and Grafjellian soldiers teaching him.under trained
Pft. He was squired to a Kingsguard house. Weapons and armour were no issue.even lesser-arme^
I'll be sure to make note that he must moon after every woman he meets and bathe in Crusade's Glory. Wait. . .Thats not what makes a warrior. A warrior fights, and I believe Dante fought for Anhald on at least 3 'bigger' occasions.not saying that's always the case for determining a warrior but still

So now that we've been through why your entire statement's connotations was wrong, can you please reiterate your point in a PM?
rerail?
ur the guy who originally derailed it
You're post are still pointless now let's rerail for real this time.ur the guy who originally derailed it
You're post are still pointless now let's rerail for real this time.
plsWe don't want to see people not consenting commonly, there were big issues the last time someone didn't consent to something. The time before that ended in an actual riot.
Pls.I don't consent to this thread being rerailed thanks
The principal reason why this is not part of the revival system is that it brings OOC subjective judgement into every death, versus right now, all the mechanics to revival are objective, and are not changed by what a specific person processing a revival thinks of a character.Just a random thought to throw out - The sisterhood should only actually revive characters that do good in the world ICly which means more villainous characters would really stay dead, but an alternative option would be for the dark priests of skraag to bring them back but being dark magic based they've have considerably worse scars / consequences. Admittedly right now most char deaths are more politically focused than back in the days of paladins and dark priests, bandit lords and the royal armies but it's food for thought.
To further this point this is the only way a revival system can be objective. We all have our own views of right and wrong IRL and it becomes even foggier to judge in the strange moral dillemas so common in fantasy. Do we kill the god child who is defintely a child now or risk him becoming an evil god just like Jishrim? What is the morally right choice? Do we judge by Kants stick or something more akin to (I forget the philosopher) but best outcome for the many outweighing the concerns of the few?The principal reason why this is not part of the revival system is that it brings OOC subjective judgement into every death, versus right now, all the mechanics to revival are objective, and are not changed by what a specific person processing a revival thinks of a character.

So you would have to give staff every single action your character has ever done with motivation and then they have to judge by their stick if they are morally "good". I'm afraid I don't want that and I don't think staff want that as they already get too many bias accusations.
I'm not sure how it's an honor system because there's no objective everyone agrees to observe. Every character's story goes differently, and it doesn't make sense for it to be honorable that you end a particular story prematurely because some other group thinks it should end.so it's like an honors system for character storytelling.
The power is in the players' hands to decide when their story ends, making it so that their story didn't die with getting gangrene from a toe being munched off by a rabid dog, but also allows the players to have a character persist after a hardfought battle in which their character died a hero... that way they can be a hero in more battles.
Yeah, definitely like an honor system
no, but it's expected for you to end your own story at some point, whereas some people continue t have their characters live on until they either die of old age, or are told "no more rezzes fam." that's what i'm getting out of this thread anyways, since if people killed their characters when they liked, and we assumed their deaths to be adequate for a story ending, this wouldn't be coming up. Like I sai,d that's the best way I can see this as.I'm not sure how it's an honor system because there's no objective everyone agrees to observe.
