Ever shed a tear?

[naatok]

Naatok the naughty monkey hoots and shrieks with anguish, rage and frustration over the loss of yet another of his awesomely naughty characters, rattling the bars of his monkey cage.

I've cried over the loss of two of my own pcs, and over the sadness of the impact one of my pc's deaths...or the death of one that my pc was involved with....many times.

And for those of you 'he-men' out there who feel crying is a shameful display of weakness for men....come on over and I'll have a good cry after lopping your head off to add to my belt of heads, drinking a toast of single malt scotch to rescuing your soul from your failed and miserable life.

:twisted:

I think Irulan hit the nail on the head when she said it's like losing a friend. Here's a personality that you know, and feel great affection, perhaps to the point of love, for and they're gone, never to be seen again, along with with all the relationships with other players that they had.

I think the only time I've cried was a number of years ago, pre-coming on staff, when a character that had been alive about a year and a half died - primarily due to losing link at the wrong moment.  But I am also notorious for crying in movies (twice at Dumbo), so I don't think that represents the norm.

It's an interesting question - thank you for starting the discussion.
