*** Major disaster is imminent - Resorting to emergency flooding ***
TICK IN 5 SECONDS.

Torrents of rain flood through the area.

The sky clears up as the storm's turmoil fades into an abrupt silence.

You can't see anything but stars!
You are hungry.
You have been KILLED!!

Agony! Your body explodes into a thousand tiny pieces.
Armor and entrails decorate the skies as an unfortunate is torn asunder.
You turn into an invincible ghost for a few minutes.
As long as you don't attack anything.
  1. guest I do not understand this -
    Not sure about the "anything but stars" part but the illusionist you were fighting could have gated/killed
  2. mullet I do not understand this -
    that is fuckin awsome. Where did you teleport to? Have the room name?
  3. caedan I do not understand this -
    Could have been the poison from the purple pill, or something.

    Anyway
    "agony! Your body explodes..."
    is a teledeath. So something about the actual act of teleportation killed you there. Perhaps the reboot screwed you, I don't know perhaps the fact that you were still under the effect of 'teleport' (it shows up for a couple of ticks after you do it), when the mud rebooted, it caused you to teleport again.
  4. Xerties I do not understand this -
    If you die from anything within two ticks of teleporting all your pretty armor gets strewn over Winter. I'm not sure about if youi get PK'd after teleporting (that'd be really shitty), but any mobdeath, and starving to death counts as a mobdeath, will cause your stuff to get flung every which way. If you teleported with only 6 hps and were hungy the odds are pretty good that is what killed you.
  5. mullet I do not understand this -
    he was sleeping and gained 21 hp from the tick before that. It just might be hunger that killed him.
  6. parias I do not understand this -
    Shimmering Halls is where I teleported to. Scanned around me.. I was alone. THen server went down immediately after. Think I ended up back with the illusionist?
  7. davor I do not understand this -
    Xerties has it right. Teleport induces 2 tick lag upon usage, meaning you cannot teleport again in next two ticks. If anything happens to you in these two ticks it's kabloom...
    As far as I can tell from your log you teleported quite hungry, went to sleep, hunger awoke you, you regened some hp (21 hp tick... is ouch), then hunger likely decimated you and you died, kablooming all over winter. heavens go *wrench*
  8. marsd I do not understand this -
    You are hungry starting doesn't hurt that much.

    Only after like 5 or 6 ticks of hunger you get to eat more than grazes..

    Sides, hunger death stuns you first. You don't immediately die at 0hp, you hover for a tick at -5 hp or something, unless that hunger was a DISEMBOWEL which meant you'd have been starving for a long time.
  9. Gygh I do not understand this -
    You didn't see the damage from hunger, that means that he regenerated more than he was damaged.

    I think the "You can't see anything but stars" thing means that you're stunned. I remember screwing around on an SMAUG Mud where if you were stunned (went into negatives), instead of seeing "You are too hurt to do that" it would say the stars bit..
