Upon Death, Would You Bestow Your CC Account on Your Eldest?

Assume:
CC is still around when you die
You have an eldest child
That eldest child is willing to play

Would you leave your CC account to them to continue to fight your battles and bring honour to your name, or would you let them start their own CC account and make their own name for themselves?

I'd hope I'd have stopped playing by the time I was near death. I also think that I'm not quite sad enough to consider this, or even contemplate giving over my account on an online risk site to my son on my deathbed.

No way...my last wish would before my eldest to develop a virus that would NUKE CC and deliver us all from this evil love/hate addiction.

It would be akin to passing along a heroin addiction. That would be a terrible thing to do.

If this was to happen, I think they should just make "Son of ___" or "Daughter of ___" accounts. That way, your beautiful name can live on, but they can foster something new for themselves! But then again, sometimes distancing yourself from relatives is better... ;)

Wouldn't that be considered against the rules?

As odd/morbid as this thread is, I'd like a name change of the account be "The Estate of jpcloet" and then my trustee can continue distributing my wealth of points to my beneficiaries.

I need to talk with my attorney and adjust my will...thanks for bringing this to my attention :o

My real take...every legacy dies at some point, let your kids build their own CC empire.

In that case, is it cool if we point dump to our eldest child? I mean, you're dying, it's not like it matters if you get banned for it.

When I die I want my account to be cremated and the ashes sprinkled to the sea while 13 trained monkeys dressed as supermen play "stairway to heaven" on trombones. Well, one of them can play a triangle.

"Son of Fenrir"...I kinda like the sound of that. Having names like that, though, might cause some undue anxiety and pressure. And then, of course, there will be those childish arguments:

2029-12-15 20:31:22 - Son of Blitz: hi and gl!
2029-12-15 20:32:00 - Son of Fenrir: My dad could beat your dad.
2029-12-15 20:32:19 - Son of Blitz: my dad was conqueror
2029-12-15 20:32:45 - Son of Fenrir: ...
2029-12-15 20:33:00 - Son of Fenrir: FOED.

Would that be funny if you could format a sentence correctly?

Umm...no. They would have their own account (Son of _____________________).

"Son, I leave you my most prized possession in the hopes you'll continue on our proud, on-line family name....cough, gasp...retch..."

"Of course father, but what proud level of achievement did you gain? What level of success must I attempt to follow? Were you a General, a Brigadier...or maybe a Colonel?"

"Cough, gasp...retch....that's not important. The point is to play for fun....gasp...retch"

"But really father, don't shield me from you accomplishments. I can take on the challenge. I love you."

"I am a....private first class! Splutter, cough, gasp....retch"

"Father, the honour is huge. May I continue to lose an unfathomable number of battles in your good name!"

I don't plan on having an eldest…only a youngest.

I plan on having only one, but convincing him he is the youngest...
But that is not the point, point is, he (or she) will own all of you!
