Unwillingly Resuscitated

[brainrot]

AGAIN.

I paste a giant DO NOT RESUSCITATE front and center in the profiles of two zombie characters, and I can't make it through a day without some jerk bringing me back to life because he cares more about XP than about everybody having fun. And I gotta tell you -- it's making me really bitter about the game.

These two zombie characters I've had are both originals -- so zero human skills when turned. If I were role-playing it through, I think I'd either hunt down the prick who stole my unlife or just go PK the nearest hospital. I'm a monster, breathing or not, not some freshly dead victim.

Is there no mechanism -- other than brain rot -- to keep players from doing this? Cause I get that PKers are a shunned community, but I now find myself sympathizing with them. If this keeps up, there's no in-game feature (or lack thereof) that will keep the game from being thoroughly spoiled for me. My last 'saviour' was 41st level. You'd think he'd know better by now.

If this is widespread, I predict eventually either unsustainable levels of PK activity, or fewer and fewer zombies relative to survivors. No fun for anyone.

You could always jump out of a building, thereby killing yourself. It is a quick way to end it all. Other than that, just stand out in the street and wait for your friendly neighborhood zombies to come by and eat you.

It is really not that hard to become a zombie again. And if you do not go for brain rot then you will be revived even though there is a no random revives rule. Your other option is an infection. While slow to kill you it makes dying that much easier.

Graaaagh! all you can before you log out, maybe if you declare hostility, they'll attack instead of reviving.

My policy is if you get CR'ed, go to the mall or police station as find as much ordnance as possible. Then use said ordnance on some harman (the one who CR'ed you if possible), and jump out a window. They won't try to do that if they know that they'll get shot as a result.

Jump a window.

Maybe they should get razor blades in the game If you catch my drift.

[Scorpio]

Like a suicide item? You should write up something for the suggestion board.

[grigori]

Heh... undead emos.

Add my msn and we'll work out details before I post it.

Eh. Well I now have a character with *five* people in my contact list -- all forced revives -- all high enough level to know better.

Just makes it hard when you're trying for the rp aspect. This guy started out as an "original" zombie. If I were playing it straight, he'd be a die-hard PKer by now because that's probably what'd make most sense to his frazzled brain.

Rather than handy suicides, if they want to encourage the rp element, brain rot should be an optional free buy for original zombies at creation. That way they can still be revived, but only through action sought by the character.
