*giggle* You won't die of starvation... even though that was the best option. If you just entered the game, /die is acceptable. You won't go to the Death Realm, and if you go, the curse is not much of a deal, unless you're overburdened.
The order of actions you have to do next time is /help <your_problem_here>; if this doesn't work, /who game master and send a /tell to the GM specifying your problem. If no GM is around, go to #planeshift-gmtalk on freenode and ask for help. Your last hope is /die if nothing works...
