Armageddon General Discussion Board

Little bodycount heh.
Did you die in the HRPT today?

Awesome HRPT really enjoyed it as much as I saw.  My only gripe is that I died to what must have been a keyword error, someone typed "kill blah" just after another guy fled.  My PC got nailed by a group of auto-assisting NPCs and basically pop goes the mantis head before I could flee.  Such is the bitter fate of a text MUD and the fog of war.

To the above guest, I'm sorry. I feel kind bad since I think that was me.  Good luck with your next character.

*wrinkles his nose*

I could have rp'd it out better, but I couldn't think.  I didn't die to the actual RPT, but rather for doing something I -believe- is rather common in the situation.

What can you do, though?  *Begins plotting with his next character*

My last post on the subject.  To "Another Guest", all is forgiven.  Shit happens and I'm actually happier knowing it was just an honest mistake rather than assuming so.  Time to think up a new character to top that last one.

PS:  Next time try using assist  :wink:

I just died to a keyword thing...someone joined a battle with the same keyword as the enemy. I didn't know they were there until my pc suddenly attacked them and became wanted...then was knocked out by an npc unit before I got a chance to type flee.

I'm going to go cry like a little bitch now. :cry:

Actually, I'm very surprised that I didn't die. But like I was telling someone in the chat room. I really thing that some time this week I'm going to do something completely dumb and die.  My luck is bad like that.

I'm working on it.

There seem to have been a lot of difficulties with keywords and just general messups with the "wanted" code. Saw several cases where people got mixed up with friendly fire incidents. Was very weird - you'd think we could all tell the difference.

Never gone from completely healthy to dead in a single line of text before. It's a somewhat unique experience.

Still... HRPT was pretty fun. I don't envy those of you that lived the headaches and nightmares you're gonna have.  :twisted:

I didn't die, but I had fun fighting Mantis, Meks, and Gaj. Sheesh! It's a wonder I lived through all of it, but I did. My PC will be having nightmares for years, not to mention new permanent scars.  :twisted:

No. Work sucks. Bastards

I had a lot of chances to die, but everyone else took my chances away and used them :( *Shrug*
Good news though, I multiplyed my nenyuk account balance by like 800 times :)

Skellies and zombies and mantis, oh my!  :shock:

i almost died from dehydration after I arrived in tuluk AFTER the big battle was over. Got down to 30 health.

I would have been so pissed if i died. Hard ride straight from allanak only to die from lack of water IN tuluk. GRRRRRRRRR.


Lucky it didn't happen, eh? :shock:

Didn't die. I'm amazed I didn't actually. After my non-fighter character was forced to tangle with Mantises and a fekkin Mek, I'm wondering just how I made it.

Awsome HRPT though. This was my first one and I'm already looking forward to the next one.

I did have a friend get whipped to death by an engry half-giant though... Poor guy decided to loot the wrong body I guess.

Yeah I got killed by an NPC mob in a friendly fire thing...I think, but I re-apped right after that. I know the drill.

Yeah, I lived through it all to die afterwards. Sigh. Im going to miss that character. Well, c'est la vie. I re-apped too.

This is a Me too post.

You left out the "I wish" option, I hate my fucking character and I was horribly dissapointed to find out that I overslept by about an hour and a half. Goddamnit.

Lets still remember to keep ic things off the board. Not everyone knows about the things mentioned above ;)

I died.  (sighing deeply as he stands over his recently looted corpse)
All I have to say is don't try to do something you have never done before
just because a leader tells you to.   Ah well it was my first character.  He was
kinda a dwebby (sp)  guy, but I rather liked him.  I only wish I had seen more
of the battle, but I did get a few hits in.  I wonder if everybody remembers
thier first character?  Drink a few ales for the fallen.  Hell get plastered for
them.   btw. That rocked.

I imagine that the most popular command during the HRPT was 'get all corpse'  :D

Like the who command last HRPT, the "get all corpse" command had to be disabled for this HRPT because it was causing too much lag.

(kidding)

The worst is dying the day before and missing it all.

I didn't die, considering it was a new character in the front line I foudn that a bit wierd. I was glad I got to stay around long enough to see almost the whole thing... spent the last 10 minutes of the battle with some guy holding in my entrails on some table in a tavern  :(

The HRPT was great though, along with my new bank account :wink:

Yeah, I don't think I'll say whether I died or not.  I did have fun though, with the things that went down during the HRPT.

So popular it overode some people's sense, and they lost their heads over it, literally. :twisted:

It was the strangest thing. I was really looking forward to a horrible, untimely death. The character I had wasn't 'doing it' for me, so I figure no big loss.... Well, long story short, this character went through SOME SHIT. I had a blast RPing through it, and actually fell in love with the previously hated character.

Suddenly the future stretched out bright before him, and I was eager to get on with his life.... And then...

BAM MUFFUCKA! I get smoked by something I'm assuming was 'left over' and had been running amok.

Still, I'd been out of Arm for a few weeks, and it was a fine, fine way to turn me back on. What was the official count on the WHO yesterday? I know I saw 100+ before anything even started, but after that I forgot to check, as I was so immersed.

To the Imm's: Rock and roll. Great stuff and you've rekindled my love of death and despair. Hooooray!

The high I saw was 145.

I think I saw 160 at the height of it. Most I've ever seen was 172 in the last HRPT before the who command got disabled.

what's our playerbase? 200? 250?

I was getting denied login because the 160 person cap had been reached.

Yep, I died.  Was a good charcter but the next one'll be better!   :)

Funny, before the first global there was 160 people on, after the last there was 145....at the time thats how many people I figured died, 15:)

Who has the official count anyway?
