jason, I think you are taking anything that Threshold says about RPI to be an insult. I cannot see in any way shape or how this is an attack.. if anything, I think the whole post was quite interesting and made ME look at Armageddon or permadeath games in a different light.

I have tried Arm twice now, and never lasted beyond 2 hours with any characters, and that was disheartening, but that is becasue I was looking at it from the prespective of "ohmygod what if I build this character for a year and THEN die" never appreciating that Arm is more about the roleplay, and not the individual avatar. After several years of playing a mud where a whole months work can be destroyed by a single disconnect, then my mindset was just not ready for that game.

You need to get off your high horse, and swallow your antagonism. The post is relevant, interesting, and not an assult on RPI, but more letting people know that they can be intesting if you shift perspective.
