Dying
June 14, 2000
 
I've heard a couple of comments that people have said to me that makes me want to clear this up.
Just so people know.
I don't mind dying.
I don't mind having to work off 40% vitae, or having to find new good weapons, or get a new suit of armor off a Mule.
I could care less about any of that.
What I do care about is looking like a fool.
Or putting people out for my benefit.
Or people thinking that I care about my things.
Last night in the Olthoi Horde nest, I took things very slow.I hung out at the entrance for a bit, then ROB HAHN came though and aaID "JAMIE!!!!" and we talked for a few minutes. Then I went and advanced to a nice little spot that Miko had. We killed a bunch of bugs together and then Rob Hahn came through with a totally naked guy following him.
Mise well help with Body recovery right?
So we go deeper into the Olthoi Nest and I tell Miko I am stickig close by him, since I don't know my way around. Miko says "Understood."
And he also says "Don't worry, Simone and I can get your body back."
Of that, I have no doubt.
I never worry that thesource can't get my body back.
Here is what dances through my nightmares
I die in the Olthoi nest.
No big deal.
But now I'm in Mayoi, with no item. Which means I wait by the lifestone for Miko and simone to stop having fun, so they can portal my dead ass back there.
I don't like having other people have to stop having fun to help me out. I like to rely on my own devices and not put anyone out.
So then we get there (this is all imagination, this never happened)
Rob Hahn goes "Jamie!!!" and I'm naked.
And somewhere in the olthoi nest people are seing the body of DRUSS lying on the cold hard dirt.
"He didn't make it" is said.
And people are leading me back to my body.
And I'm in the back, trying not to die again so I'm not a bother. So I can just get my stuff and take my shamed face the hell out of there.
Because I am DRUSSS!!!!!
I don't follow a rescue crew in to get a body, I lead them.
I'm a level 50 alliance Monarch. I don't run naked through anywhere where people can see that "I lost"
Mare knows that I die a lot. I like to take risks, and I like to push myself. Because I don't mind dying. I do mind dying when a ton of people are going to see me naked, and more people have to help me get my body, and somone has to come back and get me.
Of course now, I know that I can just run to the Olthoi Nest. Its a 3 click run from arwic. I left the nest and looked where I was and was pleasantly surpised to find myslef a portal hop away from Arwic.

later

Jamie
