cur was such a fun character to play, and a total shithead that deserved to die. i had never played a "raiding" sort of character before and i really tried hard to go out of my way to give people rp when they were more or less powerless to fight him. he definitely killed or otherwise totally fucked over his fair share of pcs but i'd like to hope that -i- didn't act like a dickhead in the process. anyway.. he more or less ran around and did whatever the fuck he wanted, which included a lot of fun play with characters that shouldn't have involved themselves with him or his tribe. it was a hell of a lot of fun. he got cocky in some dealings with kurac and stupidly went into a wagon to talk to agent whomever, then got magically dragged our of luir's and instantly knocked out by "a blue hazy cloud" or some shit. of course he died afterward. depressing because he was so goddamn fun to play, and because of the "what ifs"... like typing 'draw sword' probably would've saved his life.

Oh my god, I can finally post this since it's been long enough.

This scene was one of the most hilariously confusing things that ever happened to me on Arm, because Kurac didn't actually want Cur dead and we had no idea what the hell was going on with the magicking, and at first I think my PC assumed that the mage had been trying to kill the Agent or something, and I didn't even realize Cur was dead until we were trying to contact him like "what in the blue hell just HAPPENED?"

It was a cluster event of great magnitude.

Too many depressing deaths just get too ... depressing.  :(

Yup.

It's been more than a year... maybe two?

I was the thrall of a sorcerer, roleplaying slowly coming under his influence. Then after trying to influence him into fucking over some enemies I had made he made me duel one of them, with predictable results :)

It's funny because looking back I can still remember the moment the sorcerer "figured out" he wasn't the only one pulling strings. Probably the best roleplaying experience I've had on Arm, and I've had a lot of good ones.

This guy really played his sorcerer well, and many months later I'd hear of his demise through other characters. I'm sure he had a ball.

And there was some dwarf smoking spice, and I thought that was so scandalous because I'd only been playing in 'nak.

This doesn't sound like a depressing death to me, it sounds like you had a great time RPing.  :)
As of February 2017, I no longer play Armageddon.

That was an awesome scene. Not sure if I sent you kudos, but it was blood-pumping. I wonder if it has too much magick for me to submit the log?

My PC became said sorcerer's chewtoy afterwards and had a depressing death.

I think I got kudos months later from the player behind the sorcerer.

The depressing part is never being able to go back to RP with that character. It was a magical moment indeed :D

Agreed that sounds like fun...I wonder where all the sorcerers are hiding these days. I love getting messed with by defilers.  ;D

Yuh. I feel that. The more fun the character the more depressing the death. I think I could literally have played my favourite character until she died of old age - and then I still would have been bummed about her death.

As Krathis with mad combat skillz.  (Karma 5 4+3) [Edit: thanks for the correction, Is Friday.]
"I have seen him show most of the attributes one expects of a noble: courtesy, kindness, and honor.  I would also say he is one of the most bloodthirsty bastards I have ever met."

Krathis are 4 karma.

I still think the best closure you get in Armageddon is just moving on to the next character.

Very codedly powerful Rukkian with an interesting not so powerful personality (meaning passive... not underdeveloped -- I worked hard on it) fell down a hole, and got buttraped by a gith.

Not really, that would have made the death awesome.  It just beat him to death.  I usually brush deaths off, but this one I just sorta stared at the screen for a while.

Made a silt-sailor rebound character after that and had a hell of a short-lived time.

That's pretty IC secret magick info

I saw your question on ATS, and while it's between you and the staff to decide, I do feel there was a lot of magick involved. Just wanted to post that here. My post wasn't meant to break up a can of secret.

(And you too can be involved with a sorcerer if you roll a character and put in the playtime for it. Just roll a dwarf with a focus of wanting to serve a sorcerer :)

Not sure who you're responding to, so I got paranoid and removed a single word.

Probably something you would only be able to extract if you knew about it, but meh.  Rather safe than sorry.

I removed a separate post referring to a specific magicky thing.  Unless it was something you posted...in which case, I didn't see it as that bad.

With appropriate roleplay of course.

I just think people really need to stop dying >.> hmm, this is probably more of a random thought.

I so want to post. How long do I have to wait?I know, this that, and the feckin' other. But feck, that should not have happened. Read my bio then delete me.

If it's about something IC, generally we are supposed to wait a real life year. Longer if some of the characters still live after that year.

 The death of this stump was awesome, so I removed this post also.

Damn, that was like ten years ago. Am I that old?
