To comment on that off-topic Grindstone thing:
No, no one has ever died at the Grindstone, and finishing your opponent in a way that would otherwise leave them dead is (at the discretion of the people running it) grounds for removal. I've personally been present for someone being banned because they no-sold every attack and were aiming for lethal blows. If your match ended with you literally carving someone up that way and blood gouting everywhere, I can practically guarantee you that there was OOC discussion on whether or not you should be allowed to continue.
Killing someone at the Grindstone canonically ends with everybody in charge drawing weapons and quartering you.
The "do not kill" rule extends to "Do not try to kill." Healers can heal, but they cannot bring someone back to life. As such, there's no "Oh, I tore his heart out, but it's your fault for not healglueing it back into place fast enough" kind of nonsense.
tl;dr: Don't be retarded and aim lethal blows, it makes for shit roleplay and no one likes it. Blood's fine, but openly looking to maim is for edgelords.
On topic: Tiergan I've never gotten that tell I am heartbroken.
