Perma-kill / Clouding

Post by Karl Salameh »

How to roleplay the difference between permanently killing a character and just clouding him? Suppose two are having a conversation... how would they state the difference?

A duel until death would be a perma-death but other than that every "normal" fight would be clouding (which most roleplay as badly wounded and not as getting killed) except the player wants to roleplay it as perma-death and/or there is a ooc-arrangement.

Well that is how I see it.

So when you cloud someone, you shouldn't go tell other people you killed him? Just, wounded him to death?

Everyone rp's it different thus there is no rule for it. But I think someone saying "He killed me! Get him!" is just...akward.

Lawl.
That's what I was thinking..
I guess we should all agree on saying something like... He sent me to the spirit world.. Like if there was a way to come back (e.g: praying on the cross or sumthn?)

I Rp that clouding is an asswhooping to the edge of Cherga's Realm, and at the cross you can finish them. Or you can skip it and just RP the murder.

Clouding: Character lives on
Perma Death: Character is dead. Really dead. Grave and stuff ;)

Do not take note of the skeleton players you may see, it just confuses the matters.

Clouding is just beating the person up, leaving him wounded... and perhaps unconcious.. normally, after a clouding, RP that your XXX is broken, and ect...

Perma-death is.. killed, the end.. you're never going to see them again :( selisidour...

I thought clouding was a bunch of people ganging up (clouding around him) and killing him repetitively

When someone puts your health to 0, you become a ghost. In the old illarion,
you used to become some kind of cloud, that's why we call it "clouding"

That would depend on how you say it probably. In old times, someone mortally wounded(or seemingly mortally wounded) might say something like. "Agronak hath slain me! Avenge my death!" or "You've killed me!"

As in, the person assumed they would die, and so spoke of the inevitable as if it had already occured. Not sure if this is what we're talking about, but it's late and I felt like posting. It's a fun metaphor though, I like to use it in real life, "You've slain me!" lol :lol:
