January 2021 Poll: Higher Risk of Danger?

Based on what I've seen of player interaction and concerns of players n the RP, i'm checking to see how people feel about an issue that has been long taboo in the RP: death.

I've never been a big fan of it myself, but this is not -my- RP, this is -our- RP, and if this is something that people are interested in, I should at least make it so that it is an option now and then. There is one area in particular on Monster Island that has this as an option, and it may be expanded on if this is something people are curious about.

The RP is currently mostly Option 1 and 2, with very rare instances of 3, but if people feel differently on how it should be there wil be some adjustments made.


Let me know what you all feel on this issue, and select all that apply to you. You have until the end of the month to vote!

This one is a bit tricky on a global scale, I would imagine, as I'm sure everybody has differing opinions on the matter. As it stands at the time of writing, it looks like people are gravitating towards the middle two options.

Personally, I'm torn whether to vote for all options or none at all, as my opinion on the matter is more or less "whatever happens, happens". That being said, particularly for the last option, I wouldn't *particularly* like to "see the chance of permanent character death", but if it happens, I absolutely wouldn't argue provided the reasoning behind such a decision is sound.

Angel is perhaps a good example here. Went into a suspected enemy stronghold knowing the risks and literally put her life on the line in an attempt to save a prisoner. My rolls were abysmal and I absolutely expected her to die fighting.

Perhaps a good way to approach something like permanent death is to let the player know that it could happen, if the player so chooses to pursue their actions regardless of warning(s).
