I'd rather not test this, so I'll ask. How long does it take, after your water or food meter starts flashing to actually die? Is it instant or do I lose blood gradually until I die? I recently logged into find myself very thirsty and with no water, and I'm hesitant to go looking for anything (even though I'm really near a town), so I'm going to rely on a friend to bring water to me. Has anyone else died of thirst/hunger? How'd it go for you?
