Dante's Abyss 2011

[Sophia]

I remember the DA in 2005 being a 'if you die, you actually die' type affair.

I'd prefer that sort of scenario.

Or, alternately, we could have 'dead' and 'obliterated,' where, if you die, you are simply 'reconstituted' (or whatever) at the end of the competition, but if you are obliterated (think, destroying Cell or Buu such that they cannot regenerate), then you cannot be reconstituted, and you simply remain dead.

EDIT: I know we need to keep things moving for people, and I know the afterlife has a reputation (I think, unfairly) as an activity-stifler, but I don't like downplaying the significance of death.

We actually talked about it, but we would have to change how DA works. Everyone but one person ends up dying, even in Ander's thing. We obviously can't have that.

We were just going to keep the "deaths don't count unless by a collar explosion" just because it keeps the vibe going (people liked reading about characters getting their faces blown off by shotguns or getting their throats slit by playing cards). Of course, if that's really not a concern and deaths should be real, then we can make it so.
