I am glad and I hope the topic caught your eye. It may come as a surprise to some of you that playing the Champion of Redwall...brings with it a fair amount of... Apprehension, and I really need to talk to someone about it.

I am not sure why, but when people wish to leave the MU, weather it is because they lost interest, or they are bored with their character and want a new one. Their mind is incapable of think of anything other then death, usually a grisly one.

Then they run to me, to announce some character I (REALLY) like..."ha ha! he's DEAD!" crowing as if this was a major plot point.

Now do not get me wrong, The MU is open to all...and your character is yours to do with as you please...but by the same token do not expect me to smile and say "well DONE..you clever person you found a logical way to LEAVE!"

I wonder how many out there, consider that this MU is geared toward a YOUNGER crowd, and how the younger would react to a favorite character meeting a grisly end, not to mention that if you think Flicktail will grab his blade to go avenge the death of his friend, well tha'ts just plain rude to try and force a role play on me that way, and I am just as likely to say "who died? and oh well" I consider it a decision between you and your RP partner if someone is to die, if you want me in on it you best be sure to consult me BEFORE the act.

I have met some really NEAT and awe inspiring inspired characters. Ribbert, Cherry, etc, and seeing them leave causes me a minor hurt. (not that any of them left just those are 2 really inspired characters)

In general if you want to have death, my request would be...leave Flicky out of it, I really do not want to know and it would make me avoid you in the future if I find out your playing a character, as your just gonna kill them later and don't really care about my opinion. Don't care about my opinion of keeping your character...then do not solicit my opinion when you leave. No hard feelings but it's not something I enjoy role playing on the MU....

For those of you that seem (to me) to lack the imagination to withdraw a character without all the drama...consider this

Mossflower is a BIG place...You moved away, your went on an adventure, you faded into the background (yer there but just a faceless resident) your sleeping, your apprenticed somewhere else.

My last word on the subject, for those of you who DO a role play of getting married to another beast (or your own alt char) or otherwise made yourself important to others, and then you just announce you are dead by whatever means...

I cannot express how low my personal opinion becomes

Thanks for letting me vent and for all you out there who work to make Redwall a BRIGHT fun place...THANK YOU!
