automatic res killing, maybe a glitch

[Gurok]

Ive notices this first hand, and heard from a few others that there is a new problem involving the crosses.  When you are resurected at the cross, and try and eat a larger food type or drink a potion to regain life while standing on the cross, and possible soon after you leave the cross, you are killed again automatically.  I think this has something to do with the eating to much and getting sick thing that was recently added, but its still not working very well in this regard.  I think that it should either be publicized that if you eat when you are recently resurected there is a risk of dying, or maybe find some way of dealing with the cross resurection/death upon eathing lines in the script.  Its not that big of a problem but it is certanly annoying.  Thanks for your time.

I never knew that eating too much resulted in instant death!!!!!  This explains the times where people supposedly eat lots, log off, then log in dead.  Or maybe not.  Maybe that is something completely different.  All that I have seen so far is silly messages saying "You are stuffed" whenever I eat something.  I have never eaten something without getting that message.  So I assumed it was harmless.  Really, these things should be announced because it isn't fair to the people who did it before with no punishment and now they get a death penalty.  I read the old boards and the first time that it was announced that casting on yourself resulted in death was by someone who had just done it!  I dont mind if you dont tell us the minor things, like make a new topic called "New items in the shop", but maybe the ones just where there is a penalty like death.

I agree with Astral that things like this should be annonced before they are put into play. I remember when the rule about casting on yourself happened. I was kill and lost lots of skills because of that.

I think that a good place to put changes like this is on the news board that comes up as soon as you come to this wep site, but it has not been updateded on the english half seince October 9, 2001. Thats almost 7 months behind!!!!!!!

@instant death due to casting on yourself: The rules state, that powergaming isn't allowed.
So I can delete or ban any player, that does it, but I can't simply kill them once by a script? Maybe I should change the script to instant deletion....

@eating: This may be a thing to be announced, but I like it, if the players find the things out by theirself and I am not forced to invest my time in writing announcements.

The thing works as follows:
You can simply eat to a certain saturation.
If you eat, after this saturation level, you get the message "you are stuffed". This is the point, where you should STOP eating, as the message clearly says (little hint for Astral).
If you eat a lot, after you are stuffed, then you may get the message that you get sick of it and lose some health. If your health is already very low, this may result in death (instant death, not after logging in or minutes after being ressurrected)

I agree with the principles of it, but how hard is it to add a little line to the website or something or create a little announcement topic on the boards?

I know it should be obvious, but when something comes up that hasn't happened before, people don't just assume that something has changed.  Just like the magic system.  Say the person simply casts a field on themself (which I dont see anything wrong with, but it happened in the past) and died.  With the food people think "hmm, new thing.... I wonder what it does..." they try it, and they die.  For all we knew, it could turn us green or something, which strangeley enough some people find cool.  Really, it distrubs the whole game if suddenly people are dying at the bar because they drink alot (which I dont find anything wrong with, it is roleplaying if someone has a drinking problem).

About deletion:  I am sure you wouldn't start deleting characters the first time they cast on themselves just minutes after the new system.  So we need some transition.  Most people don't find these things as obvious as you do.
