right! it all depends on the storytellers involved! much of the yarn
spinning occurs "off-world", in e-mails or posts between members. how it is
handled is entirely up to those involved! this provides one general
structure for all stories, not just wars! romance, intrigue, and betrayal
are suggestions of a few others... in CW, your character(s) cannot be kiled
off by someone else without your consent. also, a bit different than in
wargaming, characters can suffer grievous mishaps and survive. it's like in
"george of the jungle" when the narrator comes in saying, "don't worry, no
one dies in this story;... they just get really big boo-boos!" ;-)
characters can die of old age, but only when a storyteller deems it's
time. other than that, all characters are as mortal or immortal as you wish!
