I was in a DA two nights ago and on the last cog when I disco'd. On one computer I logged right back in immediately, and all was well. On the other I chose to take the time to take the time to restart my computer to address the lag problem. My toon's ghost was left facing that blinking red last cog in the DA. When I managed to reload TT and she arrived in the playground, I was surprised to find her green, tipped over, all gags missing...including my level sevens that I'd just earned. Since I couldn't see in that DA clerk's library, I can't confirm the exact moment that my toon went sad. On my last glimpse, tuneup gags had been chosen and all was well, and there was enough laff.
I'm glad I didn't cause somebody to go sad in this case. That is a good enough reason to quickly log back on, as Lady Z has stated. I was thinking that if I'd logged right back on, I'd not have gone sad myself. My slowness may have caused my own greenface. A second reason to log quickly back into TT maybe self preservation.
