Kid, you remember with fuzzy details if you think the floor saved him twice that session. Going into negatives isn't the same as the floor triggering.

As for permadeath, rhetoric aside, is anyone really suggesting that we get rid of that and install respawn button options? I don't think so... :)

In any case, the poll makes it pretty clear where the bulk of the population is and where, if we were to fight, the lines would be drawn.

I'll talk to Castano about some ideas and hopefully be able to post a design for commentary soon...ish... depending on how much there is to talk about.
