Favorite Way to Die

Started by Twilight, January 12, 2004, 10:30:45 AM

You always seem to remember your great deaths.  Do you have a favorite?  Do you have a way of dying that seems to always happen to you?  Inquiring minds want to know!

Anything other than a group of NPCs.

Something that has you running/fighting for your life, where you are with friend PCs and thus you have some chance of survival...I hate situations where there is 0% chance of living through it....boooooringl

I like to die with friends.  That way there is hope that someone who knows what happened to me will live to tell the tale, and that my death will mean something to other PCs.

Dieing alone and unloved is depressing.

I wish that once you died, you could instantly walk around in a corporeal ghost form, with unlimited stamina and invincible, but not able to interact with anything, no emotes, says, anything, so that you can see and log the immediate reaction to your death..maybe you get say, one game day to do this before the game boots your "soul" out...

Hmm, could be potentially too sensitive - if you're assassinated for political reasons that your character is not aware of, and then your character's ghost hears your killer say something like, "Hah, take that on behalf of Lord Hardnose" or whatever, then regardless of the fact that you're dead, the player is going to know who was behind it.

It would add closure, I agree - but personally I think it's more fun not to know sometimes.  Life's short (often), brutal (usually) and death is unsatisfying (always).  It all adds to the atmosphere.  :wink:

I don't wanna die...I want to live so long that I die of a natural cause...like a heart attack...or old age...

Sorry guys but I have to be the sap here, every character I play is a true blue ranger, and a good soul. And the best ways I can remember dying is protecting someone that my character loved, there is nothing like falling in the heat of glorious combat defending that one person that meant everything to your character.
ou can not trust anything that bleeds for five days and dose not die.

What means HRPT?

"Why should that stop me?"

Highly Recommended Playing Time.

Politics best embodies the manner in which I wish that which causes me to die to be birthed from. From the art of politics flowers all manners of reasons for another's death, and I welcome any death that is required due to fatidious roleplay and maze-like political descisions.

It took me a good five minutes to understand this first sentence...

Assassination always makes feel special.  I figure if I pissed someone off enough to go out and pay someone to kill me, then I must be doing a good job and should play more characters like that.

I chose magick as my favorite way to die.  None of my character's have ever died from magick, though a handful were attacked by it.

What can I say?  I don't like dying.

STD - so I guess that would fall under poison.

Well, I don't have a favorite way to die. It could be the coolest death of ArmageddonMUD and I would be randomly pissed because I loved my character. However, since I have had about three PCs that have died due to falling into a hole/cave/cliff I'll vote for the long way down option and pray that none of my future PCs die from the same thing such as that.

I've been away from Zalanthas for some time, but I still think you all are kank shit. Don't worry, I'll come back and fix it up. By the way, has anyone found, like, water? This desert is getting old.

I must agree that falling has claimed two of my best characters. However, with my present char I seem to have finally overcome my fear of falling ....

I've fallen a number of times, and I have never died from it. I am Superman.

That's because you've never gotten high and just wandered off.
