On another note--I do think it's silly when others try to sort of "bully" others by trying to guilt/shame people into agreeing to a potential perma-death for their character. I've ran into a lot of people who insist it's more realistic and more logical to be 100% open to perma-death all the time, and therefore makes someone a "real" role-player or a "better" role-player if they are always open to it, as if people being attached to their characters is a bad thing. I think it's perfectly understandable to want to keep playing a character you enjoy and continue plotlines you wish to see to completion--it just goes back to my initial comment about not abusing that privilege.
