Depressing Death?

[brytta.leofa]

=( Why do interesting characters have to go out beyond the walls alone! Why can't they be so interesting that people go with them and like... They die to something better than NPC #0987413

I'm pretty sure NPC's are the reason behind 90% of PC deaths

Pretty close, since the end of January 12.84% of deaths can be directly attributed to a PC getting the killing blow.

By how many unique PCs?

Depressing death:

Aide to Winrothol noble just after liberation.
Winrothol noble decides to seduce said aide.
Aide and Captain of the Guard flee after finding out sexy time with noble NOT allowed in New Tuluk (?!?)
Assassinated in the balcony of the Bard's Barrel cause (wait for it.... wait for it) She fled DOWN (curtain open).

Little too much coincidence on this to not be the same players, but I believe I was one of the attackers.  I remember two people from the north who had left a House and we had a contract on.  I went after the male while my friend (read Boss) went after the female.  If memory serves, I held off the male while my friend attacked the female until she fled and fell off the balcony.  We killed the male together and my friend climbed down to check below.  He reported her dead, we collected our coins from our go between, and life was good.

This was close to ten years ago.  I might even have the log somewhere.  Have to check some time.

By far the majority are distinct killers.  I don't want to make this into a competition, so I'm not going to give specific numbers, but of the PC deaths caused by PCs, 90% of them were from unique killers.

I'm pretty sure more than 12% of my characters have deaths have been due to PC's. You foul evil murderers....you know who you are. -.-

When you get your account notes you can look and see.  You are right, your deaths are more in the 30-40% range, although to be fair the sample size isn't that large.

[Maso]

Haha, whoot! Personalised statistics, awesome! It was meant light heartedly, by the by. Guess I'm just good at either avoiding NPC's or annoying PC's. Or a bit of both. ^.^

I've lost multiple PCs to the same killer.

I don't care whether it's IC; I destroy those kegs wherever I find them.

[Delirium]

In my newbie days, I once used that (empty) keg as a water cask, and filled my skin from it. One day I drank directly from it...

... d'oh.

Party pooper.

I wasn't a newbie when I did this.  I was, however, within spamrun distance of an NPC who fixed me.

Haven't they since remedied this happening by accident, more or less?

Protip: always smell your drink before you sip it.

And sip before you drink.

Yeah, but some kids have to learn by experience.

I made a fairly basic, mundane character that I didn't think was going to be anything special...and they weren't. They died with maybe 8-10 hours....but I was actually really upset and found that I had seriously got into this random little character in such a small amount of time. Totally bummed.

[Maso]

Omg. ARGHHHHHHHHHH.

I've finally managed to start enjoying my characters again...and now I can't fricking keep them alive.

Your pain.

I feel it.

Hng. I have a story in a year.

I know, but I was a newbie then.

[Khorm]

I remember Cur! That douche raided me so many times.....and then asked for protection money. A true Red Fang. You should post some of his raid logs if you ever get the chance.

i finally got around to getting my log off of my old hard drive and all of the raids are basically him threatening to cut people open and fuck them to death unless they gave him something. those scenes were punctuated by trying people to sniff a pair of sweat-stained panties he found, or instigating everyone possible. it's hard to track down memorable moments in the log since it's a 95mb word file and probably 99% of the text is various desert room descriptions.

[Gunnerblaster]

Swapped words of wisdom with Cur, over a few quiet drinks. Was certainly an odd time. We were almost enemies, but mostly too lazy.

that's sad

Another Depressing death?

My special App Red Fang that was, to be honest, just meant to be end-game fodder for the closing of the Red Fangs.

I had fun howling and whooping my way towards a violently pathetic death, though.

Just depressing that it signified the close of the Red Fangs
