First Encounter Cap Kills - A Novel.

[Jash]

I understand this thread is on first encounter cap kills, but the way I see it: You might as well expect to die once captured in general. It's not certain, yeah. But it's the most likely thing to happen, even if not at that very moment, perhaps your character will be taken to some sort of prison only to die later. When you engage a character in a fight where there's a cap roll, you know that there's a chance that you'll lose your character, it's like a tacit agreement in a sense. If you're going to be upset about your character dying after an RPB, you might as well try and get a cap 0. I'd also like to add that in the case when I did kill Caritas as Kieran during a first encounter, I asked them oocly which cap roll they'd like and their player replied something along the lines of 'whatever you want.' Which means either they expected to get a freeby escape via trying to hex should they be capped, or they were ready for the worst.

In my time of playing the Eternia series (Almost two years now) there's only been one time where my character has been captured and actually ended up surviving, and that was only because someone had come to intervene and it would've been a hassle for the one who captured my character to fight them. Death in rp is a thing, it happens and I agree, it can suck. I don't complain about it though, I either shrug it off and make a new character, or I take a break and make a new character.

With that being said, I do agree that first encounter kills suck, though I'm an... offender of this, and I will try to restrain from it going forward. Perhaps a rule can be imposed where during a first encounter, either player can demand a cap 0 should they wish.
