A Guard just commited suicide!
« on: February 28, 2008, 07:37:00 pm »

I had no idea this could even happen...
code:
The flying Iron bolt strikes The Guard in the upper body!
It is mangled!
The Guard's right lung has been pierced!
The Guard's upper spine has been mangled!
The Iron bolt has lodged firmly in the wound!
The Guard loses hold of the Copper crossbow.
The Guard falls over.
The Guard gives in to pain.
Arkur Kiseote, Guard has bled to death.

WTF?!?

He must have been very depressed. Awesome! Now to mod in a race that has maximum depression and see what happens!  :p

This is a lie. This guy has only posted once, so he has little credibility in my book.

Yeah, so what if I just registered?  Why should that make me any different?

Ummm... You know, I had an answer for that when I posted, but it escapes me at the moment. Sorry...

You've got to admit though, that's a pretty wild story.

Well, I think Fenrir means that when you've only posted once, no one knows what kind of person you are (as much as you can tell online, anyhow). Some people exaggerate or fabricate what happened to their adventurer, the most awesome artifact name they've gotten, or what happened in their fortress to get attention. That kind of stuff.

You don't seem like one, but that is a little strange. You sure some other guy didn't shoot him? How exactly did this happen? I think units can't target themselves, but I could be wrong.

I actually have no idea.  I just saw that in the log, I didn't actually see him.
I didn't see any signs of there being a third party, but who knows?

Say, here's a thought. The game doesn't use a name for the guard until the end. It uses a profession name, so one guard could of killed another, or maybe one was a Goblin guard, somehow? Although I've never seen a Goblin Guard Migrant...

Edit: Oh, wait, hahah! Could he have shot a bolt straight up into the air? I never tried that before, but it would be hilarious if it came back down and killed him.

I have seen a goblin migrant guard once, so it could have been one of them, I suppose.

Cool if it's true, but I doubt it is.

This guy has NO credibility or proof.

Being as it's currently impossible to hit friendly units with ranged weapons, I am given to assume that the same is true of oneself. You're probably just misinterpreting it. Looks to me like that bolt could have come from anywhere.

Well, gods of suicide do seem to be quite common... Maybe he's just religious?
