Five Lives System

The Five Lives System refers to the lives system used by the server.

Cannon Death
Taking off of the Dream SMP, Noodlecraft SMP uses a similar live system. Whilst members can die and respawn in minecraft, for story telling reasons, there needed to be a way to legitimize death.

As the story progresses, a character can be killed and intentionally lose one of five lives. Typically a death is planned out ahead of time, although this isn't always the case. Often, deaths are used to further the plot or impact it in some way.

A character is considered dead once their final life is taken.

Non Cannon Deaths
During the story, plenty of non cannon deaths occur. This can be deaths from sparring, fist fights, purely accidental deaths, such as falling, or a death that is agreed to not be counted.

The main difference between cannon and non-cannon is confirmation.

While cannon deaths are planned ahead of time, some cannon deaths can be accidental or not planned ahead.
