Role playing and game features

[JunseiKei]

Party finder I view as a town message board with jobs. One person in charge that can say who's in and who's not or otherwise sets the rules.

Duty finder I've viewed as going to a town hall or something similar and saying, "I need to hire some mercenaries" (or "I'd like to offer my services to someone") and you get stuck with who you're stuck with. Or you can drop out, but you're left with a reputation debuff that makes everyone sneer and not want to party with you at your choosing-begger actions.

Death (IE: your HP hit 0) I view the same way as Dungeons and Dragons, minus the negatives and death saving throws: you're unconscious, but not dead. That's why I have raise macros that chastise people for sleeping on the job.
