Nearly all instances of death of the char fall into two categories:
1) accidental death due to bugs or buglike issues (clumsieness on keyboard, lag, etc.).
2) death due to lack of other options (no knockout system, etc.)
The first version is ignored completely for RP, as it's obviously OOC. Wipes fall in that category, too, at least for me.
The second version is viewed as being knocked out or so seriously wounded that further actions aren't possible ATM.
Tell that to the guys who ran the hunt for the killer. They kicked you out of the RP for dying, no matter how it happened. I fell off a cliff because I didn't know how to get over the stone bridge and got kicked out for it. Of course it didn't affect me much after all because I died again on the way back and by the time I got out of the DR again it was all over. But still, doesn't this policy conflict with this idea? It wasn't really an IC death because Siteri should have been able to climb on top of the bridge (you have to jump).
