People should have enough sense to put most of their stuff in a locked building and give the key to someone trustworthy right before dying. Or something.

I agree..it really is a pain when characters that have alot of responsibility die and don't prepare for their deaths...sure it is more realistic, more like real life, but so what? It screws up the game..and outside of the game we all know that the characters death was not unexpected by the character.

Elenora Meeds. Wow. So many people to recognise with her. Eric Fiamma, Adamski, Hannah and Page Zahan, Durnin, JULES VERNES I Hated him from the beginning!!! XD Umm, then there was Choroni and Woody Blaire. Two of the greatest characters in the game. Senator Naleph Nayr as well.

And, as usual, Donna is out of the picture...

You played Tabitha Ivan of Stachni Hills North!?!?!?

I think Traydor died by sleeping sickness, followed by Rebecah dying from pirates. I was hoping at least Tabitha was still alive...

Why should they? Doing so for that reason alone would be a CRB unless they have done that exact thing during their life. So what if the players know that they are done playing the game, it makes no difference in the game world.

At least they could go inside a room that someone else has a key for. Deaths can be planned and in the case of a suicidal person or an old person, they would know the time drawing near and it would be natural to donate away items before finally dropping dead. In real life old people can start giving stuff away years before they actually die. My grandmom has been doing it for over ten years and she still hasn't died (not that I'd want her to). Dropping dead without a word shows that you don't give a damn about the people around you, or that you are afraid they might stop you. If you want it to look like a natural heart attack, you can rp grasping your chest or arm and collapsing or saying that you need to take a nap, would you take care of my house while I'm gone? Then you click the X. Granted that there might be several characters but likely only a few are in key positions.

I have waited a while to post about the death of my signature cantr character, but this seems a good time as any...

RIP Crag Rock 242 - 1890

He died at the age of 103. He came up with the idea of 4 Clans to reside in Olipifirovash Forest. He asked 3 other active people to start a clan. They were to be separte entities, competing for recruits. All would have one goal of defending the Forest from any threat, but none had any more power than the other.
Over the years, one clan disolved, one was eliminated, and the last two merged.... the remaining members Stonecutters and the Red Knights became the Stone Knights.
Crag felt he was slowly becoming more and more sleepy. He built all there was to build, owned all there was to own, he tried to teach the youngins how to protect the Forest, but sleep came easier and easier every day. The only thin that kept him somewhat awake in his final years was the company of a new love.
He feared being remembered as an old, sleepy man so he decided it was time to move on. He announced he wished help to pass on and asked his clan members to kill him. Some argued, some just came inside the locked building and struck him with their weapons. He taught all Stone Knights to support each other 100%. Those that helped him die are congradulated, those that couldn't do it... it is understandable.

Boy was she fun to play! XD Kentosani!!, Johanna Lyte, Landis, Zmambee, Bali, Sury Dond, Trent, and I know there are more, but I can't think of any at the moment. :( Will miss you all.

Song Kejis. Klon, I'm sorry, Helga. I'll miss you both a lot. Best people, her best friends, Cassius. XD And Ditspice!!! IF you're still around!! You were the life of the town!! :( And Jess too. Always missed her. :)

Mikki Laurence. Everyone in Tirqui, will miss you guys. Kraven, great rp. XD Trenton I believe his name was, and Harry. And then that other guy she ran into just before she died. Can't remember your name, sorry.


Seems I knew more of your characters than I realised, but only by two of mine, and you know one of them already. Klon is still in shock and probably will be for the foreseeable future.

I don't care what people say, but I miss Harris Macgregor, even with his sleeping. I thought he did a good job rping his heart attack. Also, Bali of the Order of Donii, Sury is lost without him.
When you hope for something, you often believe in something. When you believe in something, you often have pride in it. Being proud often leads to a hating of some group.

Indeed. That's put a serious dent in retirement plans.

Sorry to the folks at Heartswater Hills. I had to kill off Harman Harmon. Tougher than i thought it would be to play the village idiot. And not much fun playing someone with no goals and limited intelligence.
