Your most dissatisfying deaths

[Folker]

Mm, just a note, the character mentioned in the deleted post died over a year ago.

[Nile]

I made a char, and for the first 12 or so hours...It was great, I pissed people off, got into fights, had a plan, smoked spice, figured I'd try and make him live a while...Loved every moment.

Then I walk out of my rent spot, move 3 rooms, see agro NPC #23483....And my internet goes down. Log back in dead.....


Happy days.

EDIT: Said PC, meant NPC

That is an awesome way to play, btw.  I salute you!

Trying to help a militia-woman subdue a man with the only character that's ever held my interest, and then getting set upon by a few dozen guards and murdered despite trying to surrender to them.

Nosave on

It's part of my char set-up prompt.

[moab]

I didn't know you could have your nosave status in your prompt. Can you put in your mercy status?

Checking the helpfiles via web doesn't show me these options.  Am I misunderstanding?

[Marauder Moe]

I think he just means it's one of the first things he does when his character enters the game.  I do the same.

However, I think also that you can't be subdued when holding someone else, so NPC guards resort to their backup plan.  This is why you leave law enforcement to the professionals.   :wink:

My most disappointing deaths is when I meet a character in game, I really like playing with him or her, our playing schedule matches perfectly, the chemistry is there, we have great goals together and the roleplay is amazing...

Then, out of nowhere, one of us die randomly or suddenly... Most of the time it can be stupidly or could have been easily avoided..

Sometimes I really hate the OOC rules that you cannot get in contact with such players, because I really wish I could tell them that I had a great time and that, hey, we should play this and that together next time..

Then I usually go another six months or so before I meet another player like that..

I know all too well what you mean.  
(We could even be talking about the same situation, who knows!)  

Maybe after the game's over we can all post long rants about how "such and such" happened and it wasn't supposed to...and what really happened to "so and so."  Etc.

I'll list my worst death in 3 months.  I mean, it was just plain out mean, what ginka did to me.

Send player kudos. That could, hopefully, relieve at least some of your angst.
Besides, giving and receiving player kudos feels good. Come on, you know you want to!

[Pale Horse]

You ever have it happen where all of a sudden, you get disconnected from the game and you think your net has gone out?  But when you check to see, you find that you can access everything on the internet and Arm. web site no problem?  But for some damned reason, the game keeps disconnecting you..reconnecting..disconnecting...and so forth.

Yeah..that just happened to me...and I was in the middle of a fight, literally just typing "flee self"...

During the time that I couldn't do anything, my character died...

I am not a happy man. :evil:

EDIT: Ah..I see by the counter on the front page that the game re-booted/crashed...Kinda figured...

Some PC deaths are dissatisfying, but what about the poor npcs?  Once about a year ago I was playing a merchant house family member and I went outside with my guard.

I saw some tents, and I saw some elves, and I thought...in my still-newbieness...hey! I'm a merchant! I'll go trade with the elves!  So I enter the tent and my guard dies instantly!  I ran away immediately, but my guard was dead.

I don't think he ever came back to life magically either, like npcs do.  But I stopped playing my family member soon after that so I will likely never know.

My poor npc guard died a death that usually only happens to players.

[Pale Horse]

Then I salute the NPC guard and feel his pain.

When I get a new character, I'll drink a (insert appropriate alcoholic beverage) in his memory.

[Tarx]

If it crashed...mayhaps you can get a resurrection?

Naaww...I'm already in the process of a new concept, and I'm over the fit of annoyance that the death of my last character caused.  It also helps to have "pre-made" characters laying about your desk.  I can just pick one and modify it to fit my new frame of mind.

Flee + return + Lightning.

I played a Kadian PC in 2000, and again in 2003.

I had the same NPC guard die on me, and had a sad day twice.  We buried him twice.

I miss you, Ricko!

[Maybe42or54]

My warrior died and the game crashed 3 minutes after. Everyone in my party respawned back at the gates, just like before the fight happened.. but I remained dead.

I've played two Whirans, both of whom fell to their deaths.
It makes one feel rather silly.
I think next I'll have to play a Vivaduan, and see if I can get him drowned.

Hehe....My first long lived magicker was a Whiran..he died falling off of the shield wall..

My first whiran died falling into the Silt Sea. *facepalm*

[LauraMars]

My first whiran died getting eaten by halflings.

My second whiran was killed by a ridiculously powerful mindbender.

My third whiran died casting the first spell of her life in 15 days played.

[Rhyden]

So did mine! And I bet $100 it was the same spell!

I'll bet it's also the same one that I used with one of mine in a "last ditch effort" to escape a mundane who decided to kill my mage solo. Escaped the mundane only to end up somewhere that was very bad for me to be...moments later...mantis head.

I went into an unfinished zone once.
