There was a very good point brought up in the C-box. TMA has seen its share of insane students I'm sure... Well the topic of Character Suicide came up, and alot of people think there should be some sort of rule or something against Character Suicides. ((At first I really didn't put any thought into the matter, but now I fully agree)) So my suggestion is a new rule against Character Suicides.

Well, many students experience MAJOR tramas and go all emo, and some of the RPers might get the idea to have their character commit suicide. Its wrong for ANYONE real or fake to commit suicide. Another reason is someone might not like their character, and make their character commit suicide in order to get another. Thus the rule should be created.

So you're saying it's wrong to commit suicide, but not wrong to kill someone? If you make this a rule, you'll have to make it a rule that no character can ever die. Ever. If someone really didn't like their character, they could still just PM someone and ask them to kill the person. Your logic is flawed.

I understand your reasoning, and yes it IS wrong to kill someone, but, we really can't prevent people from PMing others asking them to kill their characters, but we can still prevent them from making their characters commit suicide!

That's rather unrealistic, in my opinion. So they could jump off a cliff and break every bone in their body, and live. This site is about vampires, demons, zombies, and magic, not the moral ramifications of suicide. If they want to kill off a character, they'll do it either way. Killing others is wrong, and it's allowed here, suicide's not that different. Banning it won't stop people who hate their characters from getting rid of them. And who's to say that's the only reason someone would do that?

True. We can argue all we want, it doesn't amount to anything.

Auctaully, a character can't 'die' in a battle unless they truely want to retire it. We had that with Morbid. And the thing is, that didn't let him get another any eariler. What we did is, the second charrie got half of the orignals, like normal, then, since it was kinda like his first, we had it level normally. If a person is to die...they can be reborn by a spell cast by holy students.
But I do support something against character suicide. It could ust lead to worse things...I could just see this maybe, in some extreme case, to a person themselves committing suicide. don't know why, maybe being a bit unstable and thinking it was all real, and then...

There's a point there. Even if they know it's not real and everything, people can mentally associate characters with people in their lives, and a suicide can be like a mental sting. But I don't think people would be committing suicide left and right, would they? o.0 Maybe you could make some sort of rule that discourages people from suicide, like, instead of starting with half the level and whatnot, you'd have to start with 1/4th, or something. I dunno. xD

Just go with what Van says would ya? No characters won't try suicide left and right, but theres bound to be some that would try eventually, and that should be prevented.

Your debates are good ones, friends. However, as character suicide is not prevalent on these boards (I am yet to hear of any, so if there are, there must be few), and since the person that would kill themselves if they killed their characters is obviously mentally unstable anyway (What can I say? If they're going to kill themselves about something like that, then anything else could trigger it too). If I find people starting to kill their characters all over the place, then maybe we would do something.
Of course, I'm not all-powerful, but I am against this.

I agree with Darishan- character suicide is pretty uncommon here. As far as I know, the only student that has died is Yorick and I don't even think that was a suicide. In fact, I think he fell over dead *shrugs* Anyway, I see this as being nearly redundant, because it is mutal throught TMA that students just don't die [and stay dead]. If somebody REALLY was sick of their character and wanted a new one, they are free to PM me and ask for a new character and ditch their old one.
