I feel old.

Anyone else remember the kind-of-sort-of-almost death of Pearl?

There were maybe twenty or so PCs in the Barrel then suddenly some twink pops in, back-stabs, hides, backstabs again, hides, backstabs, etc.

Suddenly, PCs were openly crying and cursing and writting the the rumor bord and everything.   I seem to recall there was even a formal train of PCs who carried the body clear to the Borsal doors (crying and carrying on all the way).

An IMM stopped us all at the doors and was like "um... we've decided to resurect her, so none of this happened"   

Of corse it was the right thing to do, sometimes going against 'rules' of perma-death IS the fairest choice, but woo did it spon massive talk on the GDB and IRC.

I heard that story firsthand from the player that killed Pearl. From the way he told the story, he used the now defunct subdue/draw bug, that was instantly fixed after he used it on Pearl, when tons of PCs had died to it previously.

[My 2 sids]

You may be right, as I recalled there was a lot of discussion on the GDB about favoritism and raising PCs after so much IC stuff had gone on in reaction to her death.

[Kronibas]

One of my characters dumped Pearl when she was an aide.

Oh... did she make him pay.

[Synthesis]

Oh man, I used to pwn n00bz with subdue/backstab.

Dwarf or mul assassin/guard 'rinthers FTW, lol.

Gibs!

Tlaloc was running Byn..

Besides all the shit that I remember (we've all written these posts before) - anyone remember the shady tavern outside of the 'rinth?  It was about the same time Flint's was open up North.  The <something> dagger.  That was a cool joint.  I miss it.  It was like the Gaj but a lot more subtle.  It felt more dangerous being out of the way.

That would be The Rogue's Dirk. And I think more Pkills probably happened in its back room over the years than almost any other single room in the game.

Clengane, you rock! The Rogue's Dirk.  Ah, that brings back memories!

I want to know why that Bar got 'removed' from the game.

Besides the fact that it was 'blown up'.

Because I used to hang out in the ruins with a buddy - and spar and practice and powergame there.  And then the next week it was gone.

I'm old.

Reckoning back to the best time, I'd have to say it was when Allanak ruled the world and Tuluk was rubble and Friel's Rest.

Life in Zalanthas was harsher then. Grittier. There were some truly amazing characters that would blow your mind and eat your children.

Of course, maybe it's like that again. I don't play enough anymore to know. *sigh*

I think I might've been that Borsail that snorted a brick of spice.

[Ghost]

So when you snort a brick, do you actually snort it all at once?  Or do you get like a knot stuck in your nose and the rest is still safe?

You see, I would gladly sacrifice a character to run this experiment.  But if your character is someone who can get his hands on a brick, you don't want to sacrifice -that- character anymore.

[Throttle]

I believe you have to shave it up into pinches.

[mansa]

You can snort a brick if it's equivalent to the size of a pinch.

[Mood]

Yeah, once you've shaved it so far that you can shave it no longer, it's snortable. Not sure about other times, though.
