I propose that the next event where William (as our community player) plays as the historical William and he's the main leader of his side and loses, he officially gets his character killed.
Dodged true death 2 times now, huh? One could think you're a vampire and unleash fanatics upon you. Anyways, would be fun and make these end result of these events more exciting as he's an established member. Such as I propose the same for other events where other known characters lose in more than 1 successive event. The implications wouldn't be too big, a name change and a RP explanation for the new character you're playing and if you inherit the title of your former character.
