Which players keep dying at the very same spot and cannot get past it?

A single hard spot can stop a player cold, but overall death numbers never show it. This entry shows how to find repeated deaths in one place and tell them from a player who is just wandering through dangerous country.

Why this works

Being blocked shows as dying again and again at one place, not as dying often. Measuring each death against the first one of the run, not the last, keeps a long dangerous road from looking like one wall.

When not to use it

Skip it when the blockage is not a place, for example a fight that follows the player or a need such as food. There, group by cause instead of by position, since the deaths then happen all over the map.
