1. Since when did pixels on a screen become "real"?
2. What is the definition of "role-playing"?
3. If I accidentally or purposely have my character walk into a bonfire...should that character be arrested for attempted suicide? Should I, as the directing party, immediately be arrested for attempted murder?
This thread is funny...and ridiculous. Nobody is "killing" anyone.
I understand about immersion into a fiction...sure...but when you start applying our Earth societal morals and systems of belief onto a fantasy setting that obviously does not behave or share the same ruleset (as the above poster said)...then YOU are breaking the role-playing.
