Talk:Delayed instadeath

Move page to "Delayed death"?

For how is it "sure" if it can be averted? --Ichgucknurmal 12:08, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

It's most commonly known as a "delayed instadeath", which is also technically inaccurate; I've never heard "delayed sure death" before, I assume it was invented solely for this article? I'd support moving to "delayed instadeath", and just place a note acknowledging the contradictory nature of the name with an explanation of the history thereof, unless someone has a better idea. --GreyKnight 20:09, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

When the instadeath spoiler was first posted to rgrn, Pat Rankin said: ::"Delayed insta-death" is an oxymoron, a phrase which contradicts itself. Please come up with some other term that isn't so absurd. "Delayed sure death" was the suggested alternative which I liked best. Google Groups for "delayed sure death" in rgrn for more suggestions.
