"triste is poor" lmaooooooo haters wish
At least hit me with insults that are actually true like "triste is fat as fuck" or "triste has rocked a neckbeard since he was a 13 year old girl."
Born poor but I worked to get where I am now. Work: a novel idea to most remaining Armageddon/Apocalypse players.

Was fun while it lasted. Depending on how this goes in the coming weeks I might have some cool logs to share from this iteration.

Let's share memorable logs. I might have a few from when I played tyrant, but I'd have to go digging for them Context: My Nebbi Conto has found out that this scar-visaged individual is an associate of a Templar called Gregori. She finds this suspicious and decides to question him about it.
At your table, the scar-visaged, ebon-haired man says in arbane: "What's up?"
102hp 161mv 105st> talk (resting her chin into an upturned palm, black-dyed fingers drumming off atop the table as she regards ~scar) You're hiding something from me, Krow. At your table, you say in arbane, resting her chin into an upturned palm, black-dyed fingers drumming off atop the table as she regards the scar-visaged, ebon-haired man: "You're hiding something from me, Krow."
105hp 161mv 105st> The scar-visaged, ebon-haired man raises an eyebrow.
111hp 161mv 105st> emote raises her eyebrows in kind. The ravishing, curvy-bodied elf raises her eyebrows in kind.
111hp 161mv 105st> At your table, the scar-visaged, ebon-haired man says in arbane: "What are you talking about?"
111hp 161mv 105st> talk What do you think I'm talking about? At your table, you say in arbane: "What do you think I'm talking about?"
111hp 161mv 105st> At your table, the scar-visaged, ebon-haired man says in arbane: "Hiding? What would I be hiding? "
111hp 161mv 105st> talk So you're not hiding anything from me? At your table, you say in arbane: "So you're not hiding anything from me?"
111hp 161mv 105st> talk I am mistaken? At your table, you say in arbane: "I am mistaken?"
111hp 161mv 105st> The scar-visaged, ebon-haired man shakes his head, brow furrowed, expression one of confusion.
111hp 161mv 105st> emote nods her head several times. The ravishing, curvy-bodied elf nods her head several times.
111hp 161mv 105st> whisper scar (leaning in so that her lips are to his ear) Gregori. Leaning in so that her lips are to his ear, you whisper to the scar-visaged, ebon-haired man in arbane: "Gregori."
111hp 161mv 105st> At your table, the scar-visaged, ebon-haired man says in arbane: "Who?"
111hp 161mv 105st> i You are carrying: a razor sharp, glass skinning knife a small portion of a thick cut inix steak a few thick cut inix steaks
111hp 161mv 105st> stand (with a defeated sigh as she brushes herself down) With a defeated sigh as she brushes herself down, you stand up from a long, modular, well-built wooden table.
111hp 161mv 105st> tell scar I gave you an opportunity to come clean. But you will not. You say to the scar-visaged, ebon-haired man, in arbane: "I gave you an opportunity to come clean. But you will not."
111hp 161mv 105st> draw blade You draw a curved-hilt green-glass blade.
111hp 161mv 105st> The scar-visaged, ebon-haired man stands up from a long, modular, well-built wooden table.
111hp 161mv 105st> kill scar You attack the scar-visaged, ebon-haired man. You nick the scar-visaged, ebon-haired man's leg with your slash.
(this was in the middle of the elven nation outpost so he's immediately dogpiled on by every NPC present and promptly killed)

Isn't dog piling with every npc in the tavern what we could consider 'a dick move'?
Also next time you kill my gith PC hour 3 at least do it because I'm part gith and not because you think I'm a sorcerer for some reason.

Also next time you kill my gith PC hour 3 at least do it because I'm part gith and not because you think I'm a sorcerer for some reason. You were at the wrong place at the wrong time. Maybe I can give you some closure as to why this happened. I'd found you 5 rooms away from where someone had just defiled (there was still an active summon) and saw you with elf running. A couple of IC weeks after NPC Gith had been defiling in that area. Breeds don't have elf running, just like how dwarves don't have hair. Your character told a very unconvincing lie by claiming to be a breed and at that moment it was decided that nothing that they said could be trusted, so I could only act on the information I had up to that point. All signs pointed to you being responsible. If you weren't, I'm sorry. But there were just so many redflags about our encounter that my character would've have to have been a very naive and trusting elf to just nod and run off.

I was yellow. Hunched. Lanky back. I was obviously a gith. I was part gith part 'maybe elf, its not clear'. Gith can elf run. I referred to myself in every way without using the word gith because he literally didn't know the word for 'gith', he even referred to himself as 'You just saw one of my people' when we ran by a gith. Within the hour. Once again: Kill me for being part gith, not for some crazy-ass sorcerer conspiracy.

The difference being here that a mul is documented: if I killed a mul for being half dwarf, that would be on me, since I'd clearly neglected to read the docs to understand their place in the world. If you really were a half-elf half-gith, then you played as an undocumented custom race whose abilities were unknown to everyone that wasn't included the DMs between yourself and staff when you spec app'd. You also put yourself in a position where you weren't able to ICly communicate this. What was I supposed to think, other than either magick? Edit: Imagine if you saw a flying human and they explained they were half-harpy and not a mage. That's literally the situation I was in.

I think that it clearly speaks to why Apocalypse/Armageddon suffers so, when people talk themselves into killing/ending concepts on first blush because there's no tangible mechanisms of agency otherwise. It stands to reason that as people mature in the MUDDING world, as they become capable of investing more thoughts and process into their characters, they shy away from the (by definition) volatile environments where their investments do not give dividends.

If someone came up to me with wings and said ‘I’m half harpy’ I’d be like ‘checks out, you have fucking wings’
I looked like a gith. Poorly spoke the languages. Referenced being a gith. Referenced how gith can run good, and despite this you killed the guy in blatant newbie gear.
Your lack of pulling from context so blatant staff should have given you a think command of ‘huh this guy seems to be part gith and gith seem to run in the desert well’ isn’t a good look
I was going to try and expand gith lore and add dimensions to them, and hopefully get the non gith to rally against the gith Mesa. That ended instantly because you see nothing but violence.
Think about it this way: someone born into a society of shit and violence had less inclination towards evil than your own character.

If they were a Gith then the question of how are you were desert running would've never come up. Their sdesc had something like breed in it which is why your character running like that was suspicious. Gith can run good. Elves can run good. This is known. You weren't either of those things - there was no precedent for half bloods desert running - which is why I'd thought it wasn't possible without magick. Yeah. You got pk'd because as a player I didn't know something my character really ought to have known unless your character was the first half-gith half-elf to exist ever. I apologize for that.

' Their sdesc had something like breed in it which is why your character running like that was suspicious.' It was 'halfbreed' Like You know You take two things. And throw them together. I had in the back of my mind when I was designing his sdesc, which staff approved, 'There surely isn't going to be some idiot who sees "Half breed" and just assumed breed as in half elf right? He doesn't look anything like a half elf so it should be fine'. I guess I was wrong.
'Long and tall, this man has a height that rivals most elves. Thin wispy hair the color of marble extends down the side of his head and is parted halfway down by yellow pointed ears. He has a slight hunch, which hides his actual height slightly, and his body seems slightly contorted as if whatever created him gave him a rough squeeze prior to exiting the womb. His legs posture oddly but seem perfectly capable of moving along most terrain. It's hard to make out how old the individual is, his yellowed-almost diseased skin and hardened appearance hiding youth or age. Despite some similarities with many of the races of Athas, it's hard to make out quite what he is.'
You presumably read this and somehow ignored every gith indicator, which I believe there is one per sentence.
You also kept hunt-spamming my tracks to try and I guess meta-guess if I had a spell on, you also did some forced emote 'lowers your hood' that I was fine with because fuck it why not. If you didn't hyper-focus on the whole 'halfbreed' descriptor you'd have noticed he's blatantly gith.
I would think with all the code you like using you'd have noticed he was taller than possible for half elves. He was max elf height. 'You weren't either of those things - there was no precedent for half bloods desert running - which is why I'd thought it wasn't possible without magick. ' I told you and hinted I was gith. I told you this. My description tells you this. My description blatantly says he clearly isn't one of the normal races of athas.
If you're wondering why I didn't just put 'half gith', I was having a bit of hope people would read.
'Your character wasn't a Gith. If they were a Gith then the question of how are you were desert running would've never come up.' Funnily enough I was coded d-elf, because coded gith have like 500 stamina for some reason and staff thought that was silly. Their stats are also nuts.
For fun here's other gith mdescs that are already in game ' This gangly-limbed creature is likely the runt of its kind, small,
lanky and hunched. It holds itself in a posture that makes it appear as if
it is cowering, beady black eyes darting back and forth as if afraid of its
surroundings. Its yellow skin is covered in warts and spots, with scant
scars. Strands of scraggly, greasy brown hair have been pulled back in a
top knot, keeping it out of their face, and their pointed ears are swept
back.
Hunched in form and possessing of sun-scorched, leathery skin, this
gith appears to have seen its share of time on the sands. Long and lanky
legs hang from its bent form, making its true height difficult to determine.
Strands of greasy hair has been pulled back, sitting in a knot atop its
head, making the garish features of its face more prominent. Sunken, black
eyes stare out at the world with malice.'
In summary: Black lightning man was right

Ikthe if you gave me the Apoc code, I guarantee that I could get a MUD to 50+ player peaks within a year.
I'll paypal u $500 if I'm wrong in exchange for the code.

I'd bet $500 bucks you couldn't accomplish this, without faking network traffic and/or accounts created. Apocalypse isn't perfect but I've seen the code and was impressed by the modifications made to it. Don't live up to the reputation that this forum is full of people who talk shit without producing anything meaningful themselves.
