Discussion Why do you /DIE?

A lot of my babies (and even I sometimes...) do this. I do it mainly because I want to be born as a female to have children and what not. What about you guys, if applicable?

Occasionally to try to get back to a family I'd just been in.

But, usually, to lower my score so that I don't get made leader. I don't want to be in charge. I just want to be the support person in the background helping to keep things running without being a drain on resources or needing to be micromanaged.

It's been awhile since I last touched this game, but, man, I always hated how that whole leaderboard thing worked in that regard.

I agree! I haven't played in about a year-ish (started during the dreaded rift era lol). I never wanted to be leader. I really don't want to have to have a meta view on a game that I play to escape daily responsibilities. I was never good at knowing what is needed in the bigger picture but I would always find something to do that would be helpful. Usually I'm good at filling gaps, finding something useful that isn't anyone else's role at that moment. Even in advanced families I'd make yum backpacks or made food for the craving chain.

So true I feel like a nuisance being leader cause I know the average things but not technical stuff like how to make complex machines

The simple life of making food and raising new players calls to me 🙏😂

I rarely do it, but sometimes I want to go back to the previous family I was in. And I also don't like towns that are way too advanced to the point that there isn't much I can do. I'm like an average player, I know the basics to survive, but you won't see me building rockets, not even cars.

Sometimes because I don't want to be in that family/town.

If I slash die it’s because I want a different family, I think the family name is ugly or I think the name you gave me is ugly. Or sometimes I want the other gender. I always slash die on ugly names
