I, for one, am in MONUMENTAL favor of this at the moment....

It sometimes happens that a player is sad or annoyed or angry with what happened with a char and decides to kill his or her char. But what if this is a misunderstanding between some people? I have seen it happen. And the player has killed of the char before that. I think there should be at least a small waiting time for a person before being able to kill a char.

I wouldn't want instant suicide (except maybe for jerks who would start punching others and stealing everything not nailed to the floor just because they're not good at fighting and stronger than average). It would be kinda cool if the idiots who don't want to play a character who's weak or clumsy or spawned in a town they don't like could click a "I don't want to play this character" button and the character would be given to the next person who spawns a character in that language and gender.

It would also be kiiiiiiiiinda interesting if people who don't want to play a character who's locked up or about to get killed could also click an "I don't want to play this character anymore" button and the character could be taken over by another player (like me ), but it would be good if the player had to write some sort of a briefing about the character's personality and history so that not everybody switching players would suffer from complete amnesia. But who ever picked up the character would have to play it until the end since there are likely to be some changes and if a character changed drastically several times during one's life, it would be pretty weird.

IMHO it should be a real pain in the ass to create a char and then just leave it. It's a role playing game, not freaking Waste of Timecraft. Feed all sleeping newspawns! No suicude buttons. People need to learn to roleplay any character they are dealt, not only the psychotic war machines.

I do agree actually. But it should be somehow possible for people that are bothered by other chars by certain things they don't want to rp. (and I mean rape and whatever like that)

And what about spawning in the wrong language group? Most people would rather just die than bother learning a language in-game. I would rather see characters like this vanishing or killing themselves than causing trouble to others with the intention of getting them to kill you.

If that is the case I think PD should handle it by removing he character. I had PD kill one of my chars in that very same situation. At least I tried to RP for 5 IG years, but realized I wouldn't have the time or energy to learn the language.

Tell the other character: (OOC: Fine, it's done. No need to go into detail. I'm a minor.)

If they repeat the offence I believe that is a breach of the rules of conduct.

I'm not a minor but I would tell them to no details anyway. But it's also the things around the rape thing. Some people just do not report for some reason.

I've been playing almost six years, played 30 characters, 17 of them female and none of them have ever gotten raped. One almost did but even that was discussed ahead of time OOC. I'm always surprised when I hear of some character getting raped because it never seems to happen (although two of my male characters have committed rapes in the past but even they spent most of their lives as decent individuals).

[Arenti]

lol first you say it never seems to happen. And then two of my chars have raped someone. That doesn't sound right statements. My chars will never commit rapes because I don't find it belongs in a game you play for fun.

[SekoETC]

I think it creates good drama. One could argue that killing doesn't belong to a game that is played for fun. Bad things shape characters while good things often just make them lazy and idle.

[Arenti]

I think it should just be easier to report abuse or whatever you want to call it. If people can insta suicide chars many will kill chars because a char has a bad day and lose friends or his wife or her husband. What should be easier to do is for people to report rp they really don't want to do but the other player doesn't want to stop. Just a report button on a obvious place should do it.

REPORT IT... and ignore the character until your report is handled. Tell the other player OOC "No" or whatever.. if it continues, REPORT IT!

I'll note that most "In game rapes" are player consensual so that's not really rape.

But right now, I don't want to play a character I've had for like... a year. Has nothing to do with jail, rape or anything NOT COOL. I simply want nothing to do with the character. Starving the character is taking FOREVER... yeah, just a delay or... something. My brain says a week would be about right. A full SEVEN real life days to change your mind is plenty.
