Death Time.

This is not a Vote. This is not something to complain about, "CHANGE DA DEATH TIME! WE HATE YOU!" like others seem to like to do.

I just need to my hourly rant, and thought, I'd put it this way.

Death Time is two days, which everyone says is fair. I do not think it is, [ This is not coming from me, because I am currently dead, as I write this. ] I do believe the death time, is the cause of the lack of Rp, the reason Jedi spam anyone who come onto their property, and no one likes to be Ic, anymore.

What am I saying? OF COURSE IT IS!

Jedi spam anyone who come, because they fear not being able to rp for Two Days. As Elliot said in a previous post..

"One day, is like..

'Haha, I'm alive tommorow.'

Two days are like..

'Aww, man. I should go train.'"

This is horribly wrong, and the exact opposite.

One Day;

"Oh, well. I'm alive tommorow, guess I should get training."

Two Days;

"Ugh. Dead. Two whole days, not being able to Rp. Whats the point of even training, if I'm going to die, anyway. I should just quit, or run inside places when Sith come out, or when Pj walks out, run into the back of the room, or just leave the room."

[ This isnt a stab at anyone, not even PJ. ]

Point is, think about it, Loves.
I'm perfectly content with the current time, but alot, and I mean ALOT, of others, are not.

Congratulations for saying people aren't happy!

This post accomplished.. well.. nothing. You pointed out that some people didn't like one part of the rules - which is inevitable anyways - and then gave no alternative.

Brilliant! Your skill in eloquence and problem solving is to be renowned.

But on a more serious note, what do you suggest to do about it then?

Nothing, actually.

On this Forum, anyone is crucified, and flamed for simply speaking their own mind and opinion.

Yay! I put that one together, too! Hurray!

What a brilliant and insightful response!

It might be even more brilliant and insightful if I wasn't going to say this to you:

The forums weren't made to sit around and talk about RP and then get nothing done, as if you just point out problems then go "haha well there is no alternative"...

Unfortunately THAT is what you are crucified for.

To spell that out more clearly for anyone who reads this post and lacks the ability to comprehend english:

people flame at you because you suggest nothing else and there really is nothing better and your post accomplishes nothing

I've said the same thing a few times, but I like you're way of putting it all together. I've disagreed with the 2 days death, since it began.

Don't get mad or anything, but why don't we do something somewhat like .uk did it?

Raid is this amount of time and regular deaths are this amount of time. (Not going to post times, because you all have to decide that)

In conclusion, perfectly said by Ben.

If you want to change it, do so. Put up a rule post about it. This is just going to annoy people. If you want something done, do it.

Seriously, I'm all for it, man. Just put it as a rules change post.

- There is a good thing to having two days of death. Most people don't like this rule and don't want to be "inactive" from roleplay due to their death. However, if they are so.. afraid or whatever, of having to not roleplay for two days; this is a warning sign you need to keep training.

- There is a bad side to it as well. More people are going to try and argue death, because they don't want to be "inactive" for two days. This creates complications. I know they should just grow up, but even so' its inevitable that some people will just refuse.. and refuse... and guess what? refuse.

- To put a solution to this. I agree with what X-Tech had posted.
There should be a certain amount of time, that differs from raids and just dying. However, that is yet to be determined.

Should be a fucking week in my opinion. It used to be 3 and people were fine with that, then some donut though it'd be good to drop it. People are getting softer and softer.

If you can't take being dead for 2 days, all you gotta do is stop making people want to kill you. If you don't like being jumped, all you gotta do is hang with your faction members. If you don't like the enemy ambushing you at the entrance of your order, all you gotta do is be vigilant in clearing them out.


Seriously, whoever complains about 2 days being too much - You're a goddamn pussy. Its that simple. If you don't want to die, pull the finger thats jammed firmly in your arsehole out and start using your head.

There's literally no excuses. I've died a total of six times since 2001. Why? Because I don't put myself in the situation where people want to kill me. Use your brains.

Good mike, very good.

And yes it was three and people usually only died in raids. Which were quite rare. AS Mike said hang out in your own faction area if you don't want to die, and don't start beef with people. They'll go: "I find Rp reason to keel joo"
Which I do myself, since I don't like people spouting bull. A long time ago Death was three days, And it was fine then.

Since 2005 unlike Mike I've died about 17 times.
But I start shit so xD

And Calvin he's learned more in depth things about Star Wars, which makes him think he's something great. He also owns the forums, he also has friends, he also is just arrogant. Smart as he is, it's sad. Reid used to be a cool fellow back a few years ago. Now it just seems he thinks he's some god. -_-

I'm being "bitchy" because of the way people act.

Insults, flaming, arrogance, random posts, spontaneous raids.

I give you what you give me.

So if you sit around and flame people, insult, post random stuff, I'm going to give you that back - flames, arrogance, insults.

It really does annoy you how I act, doesn't it?

Well, now you know what other people feel like.

*Note: This is not to one specific person.

I do agree with Mike in some ways. Back in the day, it was three days before you were alive again, and no one really complained about it. No one died much at the time either, so there was no bitching over it. Now we have people dieing right and left, so everyone wants to be alive quicker to get alive so they can exact revenge on everyone who killed them, often for OOC reasons. Maybe it should be longer. If anything, I like the idea that you can use an unrelated Non-FS character after one day and your FS character after two.
