What is the best thing about Armageddon?

[Drayab]

Permadeath hardly sets Arm apart as unique. Every RPI I have ever played had permadeath.

I once logged into another MUD with permadeath and there wasn't anyone else around to play with. I got bored and left.

I voted for relationships and story, because those are what keep me coming back.

I look forward to my character's death. The feeling of making a new one is just so... Invigorating.

It really is. I love making new characters.

The funny thing is, I have a love hate relationship with permadeath.  I picked it for its effect on the game, not for its effect on me personally.  It never fails to upset me when my characters die.  The last time one of my characters died, I started pounding on my desk and it freaked Zoltan out.  He was all like, I thought you didn't like that one?  And I was all like, yeah this one was a terrible person but was fun to play.

It never fails.  I make very IC choices, and they die stupid, avoidable deaths that make me angry.  And I come back for more abuse, whether eventually or immediately.  Crazy game.

This was a really hard poll but of them all, the most correct choices to me were setting and realism - I'm a very big proponent of being aware of, and bringing life to the world, its tone and its tribulations. Often to my own detriment. It's not always a good thing though because I can be a little judgmental as to how others perceive the virtual world (or fail to perceive it), and remark on it.

[Norcal]

I went with realism (I reckon it includes permadeath) and efficacy.  I love seeing people use a mastercraft designed by one of my old, long dead PCs. It provides a sense of ownership of the game and makes me feel as I am a contributor, not just a player.

Story, plot, pc did this, feels this way about that, and that sort of thing, with alarming frequency, impacts other people, and has occasionally killed and spared other characters and my own. I'm living proof you don't really have to do jack codedly or have any skills above apprentice to affect other pcs and help them have a good time.

[Zoan]

But seriously, me. I'm the best thing about Armageddon.
