Just suppose to accept the death without a chance to help.
Your way feels more considerate to those around you with a CHANCE to save but their failure will result in a character death. Thus making it interesting in the end.
In short: I hate people who off their character for no reason like a red shirt. Be more Spock or Kirk.
I might be a little too attached to this character OOC to give her a flat "LOL DED" ending, hence why I'd be doing it in an event. And yes, I can see where you come from, it can be especially painful if the character they suddenly kill of has established close relationships and such.
Have you experienced this before? How did you take it?
I have experienced this before on Arala (who might I add is half retired and replaced with Quint) where one day I was casually rping with some people when I got this whisper from a close person of her's generally saying:
"I'm not having fun with this character so I'll kill him off."Â
Out of the blue. This character in his current position is living an ok life. No issues or suicide and is enjoying his life but then he just leaves a laundry list of what my character and all those close to him were suppose to flat out accept.
I gave him a plethora of options for his character to just be an NPC (because let's face it...this person was not doing much as is) and for him to kill his character off was more than insulting to everyone without any involvement or eyewitness.
This is what I call "spitting in the face of your friends." in RP. This made me really mad. Like angry. It was not natural nor given a chance to help at all..
In the end the character is still alive but the wound he left on me and a few others still sting to this day....even if he doesn't rp that much anymore.
