Magda Pk?

Post by Ashburg Gragthanggar »

Today I entered Silverbrand, and I was being chased by dwarves. They eventually threw me outside and locked the gates. I stood outside shouting for a while, when Magda, used an auto-kill code I believe, to kill me instantly. There was no roleplay behind this what so ever. So in my opinion I was PKed. I think Magda is abusing her powers, and I think it's bull shit.

how do you know somebody didn't shoot you with a bow? or crossbow? True your character is strong, but, you never know.

The graphic that appears when someone attacks was not there. Plus I died instantly. No one was even around but the dwarves, who were on the other side of the wall.

Lag could have prevented this, and the gate to silverbrand does have a window I beleive. Perhaps she figured a whole town of dwarves could inevitably overrun you, despite only a few inhabitants were only logged on. Much like the "if your in town there are "guards" to arrest you if your wanted" kind of thing.

Usually when a GM does something there's a very good reason for it. Try finding out why.

Usually GMs notify you of a storyline...and they don't kill you without permission for such stories.

I know Magda likes to play little tricks on people who are breaking server rules...
Of course this does not have to say anything in this matter.

May I add that the dwarves attacked you constantly through the special defense holes of the walls of Silverbrand with waraxes and throwing stars? Maybe one came through your wall of shields and completed Magda´s deed.

I died instantly. There was no 50% hitpoints damage or whatever you were talking about.

Belegi, I doubt your attacks went through. If they had, I would have seen the graphic (the one with the four red marks).

And I killed ONE dwarf and it was not PK.

I dont think an instant kill code is an accident, it must have been intentional.

Basically, if a GM has to interfer to clean up a players mess, it can be considered a "divine intervention". That is, forces outside of the world have to be brought into play to influence the world.

You should never have brought Magna to this point.

So take your pick:

1. It was divine intervention from <insert diety of your choice> as punishment for hurting his/her/it's people.

2. You were thrust out with such force that you broke your neck in the fall.

3. Magna herself as a powerful person killed you with a spell, and being powerful wasn't inconvieneced by the wall.

4. This was a warning to clean up your act and not do it again or more strong measures will be taken in the future.

I propose you pick one from 1, 2 or 3 and then pick #4 and don't do it again.

Or make up your own reason.

If I was in that boat, I probably woulda thown you in jail for a few hours.

It doesnt matter how you want to phrase this killing as an honerable act or what not. The problem was that he the player that was killed, was not given any warning and not even a grphical coverage of how or what killed him. This was poor on many peoples parts and should be prevented in the future. But thats why this is just the testing phase of the game, things are bound to happen that arent suppose too.

Dont try to lay blame, the actions were already taken and are too contreversal to decide anything from it. So dont be giving reasons why its his fault he died. It could have been alot of things that made him die, just try to understand that it probally and "hopefully" was unintential by a GM and was from some else.

Accually the Dwarves built a huge temple in honor of Imrom, he could have easily killed something for his loyal to the end dwarven worshipers.

Yeah a lot of things could have happened. I wouldn't have had a problem with it if there was actually some roleplay behind it on Magda's part.

@ Serpardum,

I love those reasons... :) ... they sound great.

@ Ashburg,

The simplicity of this should lie even within your comprehension;
"DON'T PICK ON DWARVES":
They pick back, and that usually hurts.

:twisted:
