I try not to do this too much myself. Though sometimes it can be very hard to employ restraint. What am I talking about? Alright lets break this down into something that non role players can grasp. When you role-play for some game or event, such as D&D, you make a character. You choose the race (Human, Elven, Halfling, etc.), you choose his eye color, his hair, his gender, his class (Fighter,Druid,Rogue,etc.), and you choose his Alignment. Now out of all that I always think that alignment is most important. It gives your character a general behavioral pattern to start off with. Those as your character grows from each game you Alignment might change. I always start off with one alignment and change it depending on the situation. As I believe what you see dictates a character change, no matter who you are. Unless of course your Maniac ly evil.

So when you grow this attachment to said character. You don't want to see him die. As you've put a lot of time and effort to create this story. You want to see this story have a satisfying ending. So you might try to meta for character self-preservation. Though a good player won't. Sucks to be a good player at times.
