Okay, pardon the retarded newbie post, but I have a question. It seems, in looking over this community, that households tend to be pretty stable, and a person leaving/dying is a Big Event . . . are there any of you for whom this is not the case? People [here] die/go defunct every month it seems, and I was simply left wondering if there was anyone else for whom this is so . . .

Our system seems to collapse every month or so...lots of dying and leaving.

(finally.someone else. wooo.)

We know some systems where there are few or no consistent people, they come and go like flows of water. Someone might come for a few hours and you never see him again, or he might turn up weeks or years later. Others stay for a few days or months or years, but if you don't see them for a while, you figure they will either be back or they won't. All of these groups are gateway systems who have contact with one or more very busy worlds of their own.

noone in our system has 'died', but several have integrated.
also we have 2 systems, so some people move over to the secondary system, and sometimes they come back, sometimes they stay there.
but it is never easy when someone new comes, or someone goes.

Hm, also... although this isn't quite what you're asking, I think some soulbonding systems tend to have a very high "turnover" rate with people coming in and leaving fairly frequently (although it seems pretty rare for a SB to *die*, at least in the systems we've met...), and it not necessarily being a major event, although the remaining system members might miss them or feel sad about them leaving, if they were close...
