I can't prove it of course, but I think it will turn out to be that we have spirits and we can re-roll or possibly even go play some other game or choose to not play anything for a long time.
Something interesting is I was less in a rush to leave this hell when I began to believe we probably can re-roll. Even though I sort of want to re-roll right now, if I can re-roll when I die and keep playin as many times as I want on this server and other servers.. then I'm not in that big of a rush to leave this life.. even though if it gets too bad I might kill myself.
