Get the second-cousinmug. Some people try to make the point that you only get so many second chances. Once you get past one second chance, you don't get any more second chances, you're already on your third chance.
Once you die, you stop at the second chance, the fourth chance, or the chance you were on, but you never get another second chance after you've had one second chance.
