I want a way of indicating that I am a No Mulligan gamer and that I would rather have my character die falling in a plot hole than be forced to "retcon".
On the other hand, improv acting and the enjoyment of Staying The F*** In Character is what I groove off of in LARPs. I get that some people play the game rather than the role and get different things out of it. I just wish we could sign up for special "no retcons allowed" LARP experiences.
Retcon makes me cry.
Even if it means the GM has to say "a mysterious glowing orb floats over your heads briefly, and you suddenly remember the last 15 minutes differentl", it's better than saying "that didn't just happen, so please unplay your previously role-playing because it doesn't count."
It should always count or why are we dicking around wasting our time?

Agh, pet peeve.
