Kind of a morbid topic but I guess it's valid. As we are an online community wouldn't you want you the people you talk to around the world you talk to everyday to know? Say Someone just quit posting wouldn't it spike your interest why they did? So basically I'm just wondering for people that have wills do y'all have instructions with your user name and password for a loved one to let us know about it? Lmao

Ed: I put this here over the Discussion forum for traffic reasons.

Eh, I have enough people on both here and bookface to let you know the horrible horrible truth of my tragic death in an unfortunate milkshake accident.

If I actually die before the site does I want the Religion subforum to be renamed The Illuyankas Memorial Bullshitting Bastion subforum, thanks in advance.

[amphibian]

Yes. I would want a family member to write up the general circumstances of my death in a post, tell people to drink more scotch and to put as much awesome as they can fit into their lives.

This place, Fbook and InStrength would get the posts. I really don't go to other places, so that's easy enough for even a somewhat tech-phobic family member to do.

Maybe I should write up a mad-lib of it and have my little brother with the wicked sense of humor fill it out when the time comes.

[Grief]

Someone dying on the board probably still wouldn't be as emo as Brood's leaving thread.

On topic, yes I guess I'd like people do know, no idea how you guys would though. I'd probably put my password as part of my will, along with a request for someone to abuse my powers as hilariously as possible.

[HoosierDaddy]

Yeah. I've met a fair few members and would want them to know.

That being said, I'd be interested in my family's reaction into JUST how nerdy I was. They have an idea, but being a long-term contributor to an extremely specific fantasy message board... they don't know that. Then again everything is password protected and they'd probably never bother to look, so.... If I ever stop posting for like a year. There you go.

[worry]

I'll have my sister let you know. She knows about the site even if she can't sign in as me. And the first 10 people to post their mailing address in that thread will get one of my finger bones strung on a necklace. Supplies limited, offer subject to "whatever's left after the beasts are done feasting."

If you get 21 jigawatts you might just be able to break out some truly kickass rap at your mom's dance.

More likely to be taken out by a random Deregoth/Karsa fight whilst sleeping than lightning I reckon

But as a real reply, i plan to become a much more active member now I have actually joined, so hopefully as discussions break out I can contribute, my contribution is currently limited by the fact that I have yet to finish the entire series! Currently nearing the end of Return of the Crimson Guard, not touched Forge, or the Tales of Bauchelain and Korbal Broach so i have some ways to go!

There are twenty seven or twenty nine bones in each hand. You probably have enough to indulge everyone contributing to such a thread.

Or are you reserving the others for other forums? Traitorous whelp.

[Silencer]

...I think you all would notice if I died. Maybe only when the forum's bills stopped getting paid, or when Xae noticed that I hadn't bugged him for a while, but you'd notice.

But more seriously, there are some of you on here who I'd like to imagine would be amongst the first to know, being awesome RL friends. And the rest of you...well, I've known most of you long enough that I'd be down with someone logging on here to let you know.

[Satan]

If I die I wouldn't be in a position to care if you knew. But to answer the question properly, I don't think I care quite enough now either. You people are good for a laugh, but still essentially just pixels on a screen. I do feel we have come a lot closer since I've got myself a smartphone. Any relationship primarily had while pooping is bound to be an intimate one. But still only pixels.

Now that I'm writing this I'm not sure if I have a need for any public announcement of my death. Those who need to know will be told one way or another. Those that don't, well, they don need to know, now do they?

Besides, I'll see most of you in hell anyway. Let me know when you arrive, I'll give you a tour of the palace.

Can I keep your brain :-)

[Vengeance]

I do hope that someone would get on the forum and let you guys know. I have way to many friends whom I have met through the forum to not want them to know and get drunk/or rejoice accordingly. I would rather they didn't notify anyone of my death using my log in that just seems especially morbid.

All true, but I was only picturing the proximal phalanges for ideal size and shape. I suppose the Bonehunters weren't so picky, but I finally have a use for my B.A. in Osteoaesthetics and I'm not gonna waste it.

Sorry, that's already disintegrating.

Finally, the non-Mafia use for the alts reveal their head.

"Pathshaper: Ruse is dead. The real world decided to vote him/her out last night. It was swift and merciful."

And then apparently some of you mafia players will then go off on long, self-amusing rants about nothing in particular.

Vote Amphibian

for mockery most foul. Except I never indulge in rants, but I would try to honor the fallen Venge, whose own tendencies are legendary among the mafia addicts that frequent this site, and who knows, perhaps even other sites so chock full of nerds that even the honored George RR Martin's glacial work pace seems mercurial in some odd metaphorical way compared to the sheer geekery to be found there, as I am sure you are aware.

[Tiste Simeon]

Depends how I died. If it was something heroic or (much more likely) hilarious, heck yes! Would make sure the word got out.

[RodeoRanch]

I was probably wearing pants.

[Illuyankas]

Really I'm pretty sure you're gonna get strangled to death when you try to wear a pair of pants as a tie by accident.
