Recruitment for a battle

So in saying you do not want the safety net, are you saying that in this thread; you are ok with your character dying? Would you have a pre requisite that joining the thread gives your character the possibility of death?

[Shinsou Vaan Osiris]

Excellent. It would seem that it only takes about ten or so levels for people to feel safe outside this Citadel.

I joke, of course. Thank you all for the interest. Once the thread is up, feel free to join at any time.

I like you.

See you on the field, son.

I'm ok with my character dying, but he's sort of built that it's not that big of an issue for him (should his ability to resurrect be approved). And even if it doesn't, I haven't really done anything with him yet, so it's not such a great loss as I have other characters in my head which I could make.

But it doesn't mean that any other characters must suffer the same fate. The way I had it planned, the magic that will isolate the combatants from the rest of the world would be possibly on a timer, so if you endure the chaos long enough, you can get out unscathed.

Awesome. Can't wait.

Which is the Citadel.

I guess if you're good enough, every battle is a Citadel battle given the rules.

You've lost me there pal.

I merely meant that it seems to me once you get a good number of levels and character becomes good at what he does, nothing can really kill you unless you really want to. Hence it's like a Citadel battle. You won't die either way.

Correct. You die on the mainland, your character is magically resurrected in a new thread by NPC's or other characters, possibly using the same profile. Some of us one-trick-ponies aren't wont to give up on ultra-established characters.

A fair point. Worth noting that a few of us don't carry such issues and are happy to have our characters die or be somehow permanantly disfigured.

Lye lost an eye the other day in a battle with Elthas.

It was really scary.

Interesting to note your character can evade death's icy grip by means of eventual resurrection. Double standards, perhaps?

But you have to account for the emotional trauma. Dying once is easy. But many times? It leaves scars, man, where nobody can see. And deep down Maledoch is a sensitive soul. Not everyone remains normal like Tom Cruise in that shitty movie where he keeps dying.
