Life in the rinth

[evilcabbage]

Rinth is such a treasure chest of creepy secrets. One day I'll make a char with the sole purpose of jumping into the hole in that shop.

I always -consider- it, but I'm too much of a pansy to actually do it. I think everybody is.

Especially when you roll up that would-be-throwaway PC and get some good stat rolls, amirite

Maybe some sort of "freeze" command, which prevents anyone in the room from doing anything but emoting and communicating (for thirty seconds or a minute),  would satisfy those who demand a villain's exposition worth of says and emotes before each kill.

An interesting idea that would solve a whole bunch of long-standing problems, but there is so much potential for abuse.

'Freeze' and wait for backup is the first that springs to mind.

Here here! Except call it 'monologue'

A 'slay' command that lets you kill anyone instantly so we can roleplay executions easier. Abuse,?  Never met him

Potential for abuse rules all, does it?

So create something like 'kemote' then, which lets you define a combination of emotes and say commands separated by semicolons. It only appears when you use the 'kill' command, at which point the kemote spews out and the kill begins. Maybe the victim doesn't have time to read it until he's dead, but he still gets an exposition. Once 'kill' is used, the pent up text is cleared.

How about mercy on?

"mercy on is imperfect."

Okay, so is any other suggested solution.

Why not just come out and say it? You guys want more Batman villains in the 'rinth that deliver final speeches to you. I'm sure we as a community can come together and make this happen.

Be. The. Change.

"Speaking of which, do ya know how I got these scars?"

"No, but I know how you got these!"

I don't care, actually. I'm just offering some ideas for those who seem to really hate how sudden death can be in the game. My own view is that the game reflects life (especially a continual war zone) that way. Everything can seem fine one moment, then suddenly that's it.

[Inks]

I like the fact that you could have had a great day, making your way through the streets you know like the back of your hand.

Then a couple of throwing knives end your life.

Life is fleeting and the rinth is the epitome of the Arm city experience for me.

Also the Rinth isn't a death sentence like some people think it is. Live there a while and you feel relatively safe.

really let's be honest, i've never been random pk'd. i actually almost got dead and the aggressor probably may have let me live

Probably me. I do that all the time. ALWAYS A BAD IDEA.

Realism.

[Zerero]

I've never been random PKed, and at least 50% of my chars have been rinthers

 Oh no, I died in the 'rinth. Fuck that place that is known for being dangerous for killing me.

The Rinth is awesome. I lost a special app to a PK at about seven hours played, and LOVED the RP involved.
I don't play Armageddon on paranoid mode.  I play for fun, to escape from real-life and for adrenaline rushes.

If one of my PCs gets Pk'd, chances are the dirty bastard got what was coming to him.

[Dakota]

I always love the Rinth. Had a slew of PC's I played there in quick succession bc none lasted more than like a day played.

That being said it was a mess for an off-peak player

[Jingo]

I've been random pk'd a couple of times in the 'rinth. Both were special apped/family roles. Both were within two hours played.

I've played in the rinth a few times since but there is no way I'm playing anything but quick and dirty app. Playing there is like playing a roguelike.
