Also, I never said you said any of those things. Â I said that people should not be shamed to do something like that.
Then let me be absolutely clear because you seemed to ignore the sentence I wrote right after that sentence.
" I have also seen countless players say that they would be willing to have their character die, but stop the scene at the final moment, and ask/choose a way out for their character. I do not ever look down on anyone for that, but I would appreciate if you all be honest with yourselves, and honest with me if you respond to this thread. "
To assume I did not mean what I wrote in bold is quite the negative perception that I have done nothing to deserve. You seem to be slightly over-sensitive about this.
For the record, I agree with you. People should not feel obligated to kill off characters they love. However, they should not lie, and say they would if that is how they feel. And no, before you make assumptions again, I am -not- saying that anyone on this thread has lied.

THAT is why I wrote what I wrote. I have run into a lot of an antagonist characters that will not allow their character to suffer the consequences of their character's actions after they had originally said they would. I wanted to avoid hypocritical responses to my questions if at all possible.
