I think we have enough autokill boards! I mean students can't post with the vampires, lycans, and the valkeries. And that's cool. They have their own boards, like students have their common rooms. But I think the forbidden Forest should stay as it is. It gives RPers a chance to go on those dangerous threads. Yes, you can get wounded, but not fatally. It provides a chance for a bit of fun! Who hasn't gotten into a fight in the Forbidden Forest? If you make it autokill, believe me, MH will get a bit boring. Plus you need to remember that all this is FICTION. It isn't real.
Besides, it would give the Forest creatures too much power. Students should have a chance to defend themselves. Everyone knows not to venture into the Tunnels or something, but you have to keep one board open. Most people don't post up there often anyway. I've only been there twice, and Aidana's come out with more than a few scratches, but she's still alive. That's the beauty of the Forest. You still have the (well not exactly) adrenaline rush, but your character stays alive.
If you guys need comprimise, I think Chris's idea would work. Restrict the people to the Hospital Wing boards until a nurse shows up to clear them. That also makes sense cannon wise too. Like both times after the Forest, I had Aidana go the Hospital Wing. It's part of the whold experience isn't it? Wow, this is a really long post and I'm going to stop lecturing now. My whole point can be summerized in the following words:
Please don't make the Forbidden Forest autokill! That would really really bite!
Edit: If you don't think it's fair to all the Forest Lycans and other Forest creatures, create a different board just for them. Put an autokill on that, that's perfectly fine. That would be their territory. But the other parts of the Forest should be accesible to all students.

bullying is slapping them around and snapping bones.... killing is an end, pure and simple.
And you want to talk about irony? Being here for as long as you have and still traipsing around like a dumb ass. There's irony for you.

youre not dead...
i said youd reappear somewhere...i dont care if its the vampire caves or the forest or whatever...i gave you a choice
now you either adapt and make it an advantage to you or you dont adapt and rant and yell over nothing...if you really were a good RPer youd be able to take this and use it for your advantage...instead of being mad because you lost try thinking of ways to get the upper hand on me
thats the logical way to work a thread
i dont take this personally so i dont know why youre attacking me...i actually thought you were pretty cool *shrugs*
we really do need to offer some RP classes though at MH

Grr.....
-prepares to rip hair out-
.....forget it.
Sorry, Ive been in a real big mess of s***e lately, what with school ending, final exams, etcetera, etcetera. A lot of the little things have been stabbing at me lately, and I've been taking it out on all the wrong people in all the wrong ways....
Prime example: Put my foot through my closet door today.

My God, Chris. Are you offering how to teach others to role play?

yes actually...if Isaac wants to counter what i just did to him for example he should use the ground itself as his advantage
hes a demon underground in the middle of a forest...jeez
if he could think of it for himself he wouldve surprised me by now and made his move...people who can keep the fight going no matter what are the good RPers
not the people who whine about it being "too hard" or "cheating"...i didnt cheat

Well Chris, basically asserting that nick is an Angel and you can make my fire disappear even though you dont control the element..... kinda takes the desire to do anything remotely involving continuing that thread right out of me.

Ok........not sure I follow your little argument.......although I would generally lean towards Chris' side, if only acuz I know from the past that he generally knows what he is talking about in arguments.
Either way......I'm majorly against giving forest creatures power to auto-kill.........I don't even like any auto-killing anywhere. It mainly seems like the kind of thing a bad RP-er would use if they had a grudge against someone OOC, or were losing a IC fight or argument.........also is a major deterrent for posting in those areas.....
I will agree that sometimes it is needed, such as in some instances in places like the vampires lair or lycans den, when someone might try to use the lack of such a rule to cause a bit of a scene, hiding behind the veil of a no-killing rule, but the forest is not one of these areas.

yesssssssss *bows to Azreal* see i wasnt just blowing hot air... one of the few that agree that autokill is a stupid rule... just to reiterate the points going around... 1) why is there a need to autokill if youre a good RPer? 2) doesnt that basically give certain people more authority for no good reason 3) it doesnt give a chance for the new people to learn how to correctly RP through adaptation and in doing so it places the state of the RP community in the bind it is now...not many understand how to properly RP 4) it creates more OOC yelling and who needs that? 5) fights will occur because of it...especially from me if im not allowed to defend myself when i know i can win in a duel...and wow im going to get chewed at for being "cocky" but its true...my proof is in the last post by Isaac in the thread he was complaining about...he figured out a way and it worked...he couldve done that from the start instead of complaining but for now in the future he knows...at current he gets some major props as an RPer from me just for that so yes trust me...i understand EXACTLY what im talking about...and i dont usually run into arguements unprepared
