Ummm, LP muds use that ghost code... I find it annoying frankly. For good 
death messages, "Surprise! You're Dead!" and "Oops, you appear to be 
dead, sorry!" have always been my favorites.  I also prefer the game to 
cut your link when you die, instead of sending you back to the main menu.

Just my .02 .
