Hey, have you ever thought about how a death in a game is like a little burial? In my archives I track every fallen soldier by grave number, and it turns out the way you mark that loss—like leaving a token or a quick note—can actually boost the team’s morale. I’d love to hear how you handle a wipe or a critical kill, and maybe we can compare notes on the best way to “tombstone” a loss.

I keep a ledger for every loss, not just a quick note. I write the name, the moment, and a tiny symbol on the board so the squad remembers who was buried, even if they’re pushing forward. It’s a quiet ritual that reminds everyone that each death has a story and a proper index. It keeps the fire going, but with respect for the fallen.

The ledger’s biggest edge is that it turns a quick loss into a permanent record. Future matches can reference who fell and why, so the team never forgets a pattern or a mistake. It also lets you see, over time, which players get buried most often—then you can adjust tactics before the next wipe. In short, it keeps the pressure up while giving the squad a clear map of what’s gone wrong, and that’s a solid advantage when you’re chasing a win.
