Now a lurker. Thanks for everything. | he/him
to making the original name a disambig, and as I said earlier renaming the trope to Permadeath.

Agreed to making the original name a disambiguation!

Deader than Dead would probably be a good inclusion too.
Sounds good on paper (he/him)
I agree with diambiguating Final Death after moving the trope to Permadeath.

Sure, let's disambiguate it.
Seems like we have enough support for disambig, but let's see a few more days.

Brought us to sub-1000 by going through some of the small sections, stopping at Let's Play/ and skipping the Italian page. 980 left.

Figured I'd bring this up, but we have a Final Death Mode that exists, describing a game mode you can select that prevents continuing and generally has protections against Save Scumming. Would it make sense to rename that to Permadeath Mode to match, or is the word 'mode' sufficient enough to make it seem limited to video games?
Either way, it can be listed on the disambig page.

If Final Death Mode has issues, it needs a thread of its own.

I've always heard that referred to as Ironman Mode or similar. It's more focused on single-player contexts, where you really are only competing against your own achievements. Permadeath, on the other hand, is more broadly applicable. It makes sense in multiplayer contexts, as a contrast to the many games that allow a shortcut to getting (most) of a character back after death.

I noticed Final Death Mode too. There's some duplication of examples between the two tropes; the supposed "optional vs mandatory" distinction hasn't been used to exclude examples from Permadeath. I wondered after discovering it if a wick I changed would have been better with it instead.
Sounds good on paper (he/him)
We could add Final Death Mode to the disambiguation page, but if it has problems of its own, it should get its own thread, probably with a wick check to show any overlap between it and this trope.

If anyone wants to help out with wicks, we got 875 of them.
Disambig sounds good.
