I don't understand where the "why?" comes in. Weren't you offered the chance to stay alive instead of die?

No. Death was always certain; I was offered a chance to be instantly resurrected. That opposes my view of how death should be on this website: a significant gesture. Hence why I chose to stay dead.

I also feel as though people are completely misinterpreting the intent of this line of questioning.

I am completely and totally okay with the fact that Jarka died. I don't know how many times I can say that. However, in discussing death on Chubbs, multiple people have implied to me that death is a form of negative feedback. Ergo, I wondered what possible negative feedback I was receiving.

In addition, I plan on staying dead. I plan on roleplaying in the afterlife for a bit. I think it's important to Jarka's character, and I have always looked forward to an incorporeal adventure. I am not trying to earn a get out of the afterlife free card.

Was I planning on dying this soon? No. Absolutely not. I had plans to finally write with Piper and Sigfried in a personal storyline (which was my entire reason for joining this site) as soon as the saga was done. The saga just happened to give our characters a reason to meet when there was none before. It kind of sucks to have that taken away, not going to lie. But, am I going to throw a fit when there have been multiple times in this thread (and in discussions elsewhere) where I have stated I do not have an issue with the fact that Jarka has died? No.

I don't like being told that I am fussing over my death. My concerns in this thread are with the consistency of the mechanic as a whole on this website, which I've attempted to make clear is my intent. I would be making the same arguments if Jarka were still alive and an analogous character had died in a similar fashion, although I would likely be ignored because what do I know I'm just a new member.

I just got back from work, so give me a little bit to construct my thoughts on the dynamics of the afterlife in the form of another post before you all completely misconstrue everything I said here again.

EDIT: Holy shit. I meant to click "quote" and clicked "edit" instead. So... yeah. Fixed your post.
