Winning! The (highly) Unofficial Armageddon Scoring Sheet

Winning! The (highly) Unofficial Armageddon Scoring Sheet

Only the lowest negative or highest positive FROM EACH CATEGORY applies, IN THAT ORDER, except as otherwise noted.  Add all applicable category values together for each character.

Feel free to list your achievements if one is listed in after the points bracket for an applicable line.  Please DO NOT list achievements less than 1 year old, but you can count the points for them. Also, please do not out any other players. They may have reasons for not stating their achievements (like concealing who they played, or soul-wracking shame).

PLEASE DO NOT DISCUSS DETAILS OF YOUR CHARACTERS' LIVES OR DEATHS IN THIS THREAD.  That means no names, and don't break the points down by character!  Just add them together and post your total (and your achievements, if you want).

• Died (1 pt - does not count if anything else applies)
• Stored (0 pts - does not count if anything else applies)

• Your PC's last words actually were, "Oh, shi-!" (4 pts) Not My First Rodeo

Finally, yes, I realize some of the point values are kind of random, and may seem contradictory.  This thing is for giggles.  It's not serious.  Try to have fun with it!

TOTAL SCORE - 55

Fun fact: I got a surprisingly large amount of death by templar negatives in that list...mostly due to my propensity for attempted robbery and...shenanigans.

[LauraMars]

By the way, this is hilarious.

[James de Monet]

Can staff play too?

Of course! But deaths of animated NPC red shirts don't count.

oh

...ok, I need to rethink my strategery, then...

[James de Monet]

Haha, pet NPCs are fine, just not the throwaways. But really, if you want to post the red shirts, who's going to stop you?    This test isn't graded.

[James de Monet]

If anyone is embarrassed by your point values, you shouldn't be. I've been playing for over a decade (with long lived characters and longer absences), and here's the ugly breakdown:

Welcome to Armageddon
Back In The Fight
#Winning
I Got This
Couch Potato
I Think We Lost Them

TOTAL SCORE: 11


There are a couple characters I need to verify, but that's close.

[Jherlen]

• PK'd by a "friend" (3 pts)
• PK'd by defiler (4 pts)*
• Killed with a single hit (assassin, magick, mek, half-giant, etc.) (4 pts)
• Killed by something unspeakable (no docs or GDB reference) (6 pts)
• Force stored due to promotion (5 pts)

• Died to a creature you attacked, fled, rested, and attacked again (-2 pts)
• Died after running out of stamina to flee (-1 pts)
• Died to something you attacked (-1 pts)

All three of these negatives are from the same death on my short-lived half-giant.

*Actually it was a mindbender, but that's not on the list? I picked defiler cos they're the same karma tier...


TOTAL SCORE: 18

I just haven't died enough times! I think there should be more achievement points for living. But this is awesome.

[James de Monet]

Heh, yeah, this chart only gives you points for your last moments. Getting points for promotions and revenge kanking is a different chart.

Don't group your points by character, though. We don't want to figure out who you were by your unique demise! (Well, we do want to figure out who you were, we're just not supposed to ). 

[Molten Heart]

Is there an option for dying to the gate guards of Allanak because you had spice?  That's got to be at least minus 1-2.

[Wish]

Is there an option for dying to the gate guards of Allanak because you had spice?  That's got to be at least minus 1-2.

There definitely should be.  I'd have to subtract 4 points from my score.

[James de Monet]

Yeah, that's a good one.  If I made it again, I might include more about deaths to the law that didn't include Templars, but I can't really change it now without making people recount.

[slvrmoontiger]

Okay my total points are 11 but I can't reveal what because they are all less than a year, because I don't exactly remember any of the others because they were over five years ago.

I believe there should be points for a well acted out death scene such as you are sitting in a "mortally wounded" situation for a while and you act it out through emoting while you are in that state rather than just sitting there looking dumbfounded at your screen. That should be worth hmmm 5 points? Which would up mine to 16 points.

[Jherlen]

I'd also like to nominate:

• Death by spice overdose - 3 points if intentional, 2 points if accidental
• Death by being subdued and then thrown off a cliff / into a pit / down a well - 2 points (and maybe a "Going Down" achievement?
• Died while naked - 2 points if while mudsexing, 1 point if for any other reason
• Died due to crime code - -1 points (-1 additional if you didn't intend to commit crime in the first place, or -2 additional if you wanted to be arrested but had incorrect nosaves on)

[Delirium]

* premeditated death: you kill your PC off deliberately, i.e. Childbirth, non-coded illness. 3 pts.

[FreeRangeVestric]

The Armageddon Circle of Life- You died while wearing the boots your character started with. 1 Pt.

[Delirium]

oops, I did it again - you die to an NPC while embroiled in a heated PvP plot

-2 points

[Qzzrbl]

I think I'm gonna do this per character, as I don't remember half the stuff that's happened to 90% of my PCs. >_>

But that's missing a significant number that would have probably dragged the number down.

I am really happy about my Circumstances of Death score.

I'm not saying I'm an interesting person to be around, but I feel that sometimes it is interesting to watch me die.

Grand total of 36.
Wait, 38.

[Lutagar]

There needs to be an achievement for having seen a black robe/exalted/sorcerer-king, yo. Brag worthy as fuck.

[perfecto]

There's about 4 things on this list that haven't happened to me... what's that score?

[Jherlen]

There needs to be an achievement for having seen a black robe/exalted/sorcerer-king, yo. Brag worthy as fuck.

Since we're only dealing with deaths, it should be like...

• Killed by a Red Robed templar / whatever the the Tuluki equivalent is these days: 4 points
• Above, but it was an animated NPC as part of a plot - 5 points
• Killed by a Black Robed templar / whatever the the Tuluki equivalent is these days: 10 points
• Killed by Tektolnes, Utep, or some other sorcerer-king directly: You won, go home.

Count it up yourself, nub.

[Fredd]

What if I have a statue of my no karma, completely mundane pc that was a commoner, erected by someone else in his honor post mortum?. Do I get points for that?

[James de Monet]

Only if it falls on one of your later characters and kills them.

[James de Monet]

Holy crap. There totally needs to be an achievement for being the architect of your own doom.  Like getting raided by a PC that was your protege in a past life.
