Yes. Read the thread if you want, or skip to page 7 and be dismissive.

Stop being shitty to each other.

Sort of like Novaya Zemlya? Located north of Russia/Siberia - who the fuck lives there? Yakuts? Perhaps.

God.. I loved it when I fell like thirty stories.. and saw the same room desc every room so it didn't look like I was falling.. :)
Then I landed.. after pushing up like 40 times.. and nver found my way back out :)
l armageddon รจ la mia aggiunta.

If you had a snorkel and three tampons you coud find a way out, but no one thinks ahead.

I've fallen many, many times.  I only died twice, both times I was injured before the fall.  I've fallen and passed out lots of times though, so I could have died if anyone had been trying to kill me.  Tip: when going on an underground mission with a Templar, do not use the coded follow command, just follow them manually.  Templars are impatient folk, who won't wait for everyone to get their ropes secured before jumping in.  ;)

I saw something like this happen once...it was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.  Thirty or so people fall down a hole and about 2/3 of them were knocked unconscious.  Hilarious I tell you.

Personally, I just checked the vote and it looks like assassination is (so far) the preferred way to die...myself, I prefer some closure, and a well-done assassination leaves the dead person wondering what the fuck happened.  I have suspicions about one of my assassination deaths...but no verification...hence, no closure.  My most favorite death was a failed assassination that was later ended by my character's best friend and a friend of that person that got all tied up in it.  Closure.  It was politics, though, and not just an assassination out of the blue...I KNOW why I was assassinated that time...even though some of the listed reasons for the assassination were completely fabricated.

That's the long way of saying that I prefer the political deaths.

Politics I choose for my answer, however, the coolest death I ever had was this.

I was a bynner, and we were heading home from the north. Well, a group of gith jumped us and we all got fucked up bad. We fled in all directions, and panicking, like I used to do in Situations where I was dying, I decided to "run" To allanak. Must to my dis-satisfaction, I ran out of movements. So here is a 33 day old warrior, no water, food, kank, and surrounding him in all directions, two spaces away are gith. So I began to prepare myself for the coming slaughter. Just as I got prepared a group of four gith came in from all directions, YES, 16 gith. I awaited for death but it never happened. The Gith started to communicate and form a circle around me. If any of you have done the football drill where one guy is in the middle of the circle and everyone rushes at him, well Imagine that with each gith throwing spears at me and laughing. It was an awesome and satisfying death.

Armageddon is best when it's actually harsh and brutal, not when we're only pretending that it is.
