1. Oh, I have done it. Quite a lot in the past, actually. Especially when I retire from a game/server.
2. Depends. Some people take it as part of the story and roll with it, some don't. It depended on how it went. I tend to RP with the mindset that at any given moment, one bad roll and that's it. Of course, I rather talk it out and plan ahead, but some interactions have made me aware some people like to spring out death on things, so I might as well be mentally ready for it at all times.
3. I wouldn't really mind. If they want to kill their characters, that's fine by me. Just make it something that makes sense to the situation. I have a friend who killed her drunken and constantly fighting Sith in a bar fight back in SWTOR. That's fine-ish (I mean, SITH).Â
I think killing characters is a very personal thing. And yes, RP means sharing a lot. So, this is one of those things that need to be taken slowly and talked out. Regardless of the outcome, whether the character dies or not, the player behind the character is the most important part of the whole experience of RP and their decisions, we agree or not, should be respected. Say how their actions affect our characters, maybe try to talk things out, but if it goes, just go with the current.
