Would your character die?

Just wondering.

He would faint and go back to his homestead. He would probably die of madness though.

I see. I knew about the carrying fatigue thing leading to fainting, but I also knew that I've had characters be logged out when I've lost power but they weren't carrying anything. I would assume they were logged out after the same mount of time it takes when you force-close the client, since I didn't have madness levels when I got back. I didn't know if post-fainting the character would then log out as if the client were force-closed, or would just be pseudo logged-in and gaining madness.

I'm just neurotic because I'm doing a lot of stuff in my mine that involves carrying things and I'm also dealing with some of the hurricane weather on the East coast of the US.

Guess I'll refrain from lifting stuff for a while.

You can always create an alt. Give him food, why not raise his biles until 10.
Don't need much biles or skill to do some lifting work.

You can easily bring your alt to your camp using world survey.

That's true, but I'm also mining out new sections of the mine, which is rather phlegm-intensive. I'm picturing myself mining out a wall tile, holding it overhead, then immediately losing power, and thus losing my main to madness.

I'll just do something else for a while.

If none of that works, you may have to move to Nebraska.

Seriously?

I remember you giving better advice...

Correct me if I am wrong, but the correct chain of events is:
1. stay logged in and gain madness as long as there is something preventing your character to log out (carrying something)
2. carrying something drains your biles, thus you KO sooner or later
3. after you KO, your char respawns at your homestead (if not on a foreign claim or this or that...)
4. your character will log out when there is nothing preventing it

...thus you should be fine if you dont have super high humors.

IF you want to be 100% sure, take a fresh 5 humors character, go lift up something and then close the client, wait for 5+ hours and log in again.

If you lose power and force log your character will log off after a few minutes. That's assuming you have a homestead. If you are carrying something over your head, you might end up KOing first, but should disconnect shortly thereafter.

Gotcha. Thanks for the response.
