What if..?

Started by NOFUN, March 18, 2011, 07:53:34 AM

Desert elves would be absolutely terrifying. Unless only assassins could branch it, in which case everyone would accuse GMH hunters of being assassins.

What if we had coded siege weapons readily available?
All the world will be your enemy. When they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you; digger, listener, runner, Prince with the swift warning. Be cunning, and full of tricks, and your people will never be destroyed.

Then they would be forever left inside City Militia Compounds, during the Cold War between city states.

What if even magickers took about 10-20days played of work, effort, and RP in order to become something scary or terrifying?

Masks are the Armageddon equivalent of Ed Hardy shirts.

The game would have reset to before 2002 when every single 1 day warrior, ranger, assassin, merchant etc etc etc knew they could kill a mage with no danger.

What if they accidently put in poop code on PCs?
A gaunt, yellow-skinned gith shrieks in fear, and hauls ass.

Scatalogical jokes would abound.

What if players could customize how theyre pc smelled when sniffed?
Varak:You tell the mangy, pointy-eared gortok, in sirihish: "What, girl? You say the sorceror-king has fallen down the well?"
Ghardoan:A pitiful voice rises from the well below, "I've fallen and I can't get up..."

You know there are coded perfumes...that you can buy...right?

Yes, but they don't make you smell like dried blood, or sweat and pee, or sex, or soap.

The tressy-tressed, curvaceous maiden is here.

The tressy-tressed, curvaceous maiden woman smells of poontang.

What if penis size was coded and randomly generated at chargen?

oh and here's a free videogame.

I would get a lot less lulz describing others as tiny and insignificant.

What if a mek and a 'met bred together?

From everything I've read about magick... I kinda wish it took gickers more than 5-10 days to become things of beastly havok.

What if a middle ground was found between Arm of 2002 and Arm of 2011 re: magickers?
Czar of City Elves.

We'd call them mekmets, and people who didn't know better would expect something far cuter and less deadly than what they'd get.

What if all the tailors in Storm got together and planned the end of Kadius?

They'd get bitch-slapped down with an iron fist.

What would happen if all the GMH's became one house, with a triarchy from each head of the family.

The kadians would rule the super GMH through sex and sex toys and booze... or Kurac would rule via kemen.

What if a delf actually managed to get a Roc mount? [let us assume that they could ride it]

They would start a raiding tribe that was based around rocs, and work hard to get rid of all those pesky whirans and gemmers.

The teenager elves would practice "stealing dignity" a process that involves getting their rocs to poop on the heads of nobility and Templars as they fly overhead.

What if Tek's tower was painted in rainbow stripes, instead of being gold?
As of February 2017, I no longer play Armageddon.

Giants would think it was a playable size of teks_tower the jenga game.

What if Giants [not half-giants] were a playable race.

no more pure guild and subguild warriors voluntarily chosen for other races. One-hit KOs are one-hit KOs. Also, Red Storm East would become a viable starting area. And half-giants would finally socially become breeds when people put two and two together, except their status wouldn't be nearly as bad as giants are, to human thinking, far more useful and easily manipulated than elves. Also, you'd get to explore the silt sea, and few mundane things would kill you.

What if a tremendous sandstorm began across the entire known and never let up?

Rangers would take over the Byn for all escort missions, then every GMH hunter position. A few months later they would form their own clan, leading to their eventual supreme rule of the Known. The day after that came to pass, the storm would abruptly come to an end. Hiding would then become their new most valued skill, as angry mobs chased them down for their cutthroat prices and arrogance.

What if every coded feature of Arm 2.0 was brought into Arm 1.0, before 2.0's official release?
Quote from: Nyr on September 30, 2013, 11:33:28 AMYes, killing them is possible, but leaving someone alive can create interesting roleplay.

The game would be flooded with half-giant sorcerer/ranger/warrior/assassian/merchants since some of 2.0's coded features include a lack of karma and multi-classing. Then said people would figure out that the more you multi-class the lower your potential in each guild so things would eventually pitter out to just HG sorcerer/ranger/merchants.

What if Armageddon released an expansion pack? What kind of stuff would be in it?

Oh my god he's still rocking the sandwich.

Quote from: musashi on August 19, 2011, 01:21:18 AMWhat if Armageddon released an expansion pack? What kind of stuff would be in it?

The mantis would be brought back as a playable race. A new guild would be introduced, Beastmaster, which would include some of the existing skills from Rangers as well as some new ones like the ability to turn wild beasts into tamed NPC guards. A new subclass of blacksmith would be introduced as well, because... A real nugget of steel would be included in every pre-order boxed set, which could be claimed for the virtual equivalent in-game; a foreshadowing of the Steel Wars to come.

What if inix fell victim to the same disease kanks did?

Allanak would still have beetles, and Tuluk would..... Suddenly become alot more city elf-friendly.

What if some dwarven inventor invented an electricity generator powered by dung?

There would be an elkrosian revolt, complete with picketing.

The rebel subguild would be come the new flavor of the month. Suicide bombing would see a rise as a dwarven focus. Staff would eventually make it uncraftable again, after seeing the time consumed in writing and re-writting the descriptions of most the buildings of the game from the effects of would-be revolts, terrorist acts, and other mishaps.

What if perm-death was retroactively removed from the game?

We would all be banned for multi-playing.

Then I wouldn't have to rent nightmare on elm street. And people in Allanak would be confused as to where elm street was and what an elm is.
However, the dream command and sleeping to recover from wounds would take on a whole new level of play.

What if The Thing, (not the comic book Thing, but horror movie) was a creature in Z-land?
The funny little foreign man

I often hear the jingle to -Riunite on ice- when I read the estate name Reynolte, eve though there ain't no ice in Zalanthas.
