Survivor
So lately the forums feel soured for me in a few ways that I wont go into. However, to take the initiative on this I wanted to share some spectacular ways I have died trying to do something that I prolly shouldn't have.
Back in a16.4 if you remember, it was the wild west of world generation. I can recall vast trenches at the base of tall peaks and cliffside roads. Once, just to see what would happen, I drove my minibike off of one of those cliffs. I want to share that I have a pretty strong fear of heights. In a moment of spectacular enlightened madness I decided I needed to have this experience. I made a short wooden ramp at the edge where I had a good amount of space to reach maximum speed (back then, the speed of a minibike was based upon its quality level IIRC). I revved, and blasted off - and instantly regretted my choice when I respawned finding myself at some random spot on the map nearly 8 km away. I lost everything in the bike and on my corpse and it was enough for me to start over on a new public map.
I've been torn apart by packs of dogs more times than I care to count. I remember when they didn't always growl before they got too close. Ninja animals like dogs, wolfs, and bears were not uncommon.
I have fired a rocket launcher into a wall purely on reflex, in a house made entirely of wood before I realized it was made entirely of wood. It took me a while to dig my corpse out of the rubble and get my stuff back.
Remember that time when you first realized that grenades WILL go off in your hands if they've been primed? Pepperidge Farm remembers!
I've driven into a buddies uncapped mine shaft and fallen to my doom. The fact the landscaped hadn't rendered so quickly was partially to blame. >.> <.<
Recently, I've tried to kill a snake in a small town shortly after I spawned fresh into a new world. For some damn reason I couldn't hit the damn thing with my bone knife and it eventually killed me because I was too boneheaded to let a snake get the best of me. The shame of this defeat still resonates.
I have been torn apart by a swarm of buzzards back in A18 due to their newly minted turbo boost function when chasing down survivors in vehicles. Ugh. I'm likely not alone in this experience at all.
I once was invited to check out a mine from a buddy of mine who wanted me to see something specific. I open the cap, go down a flight of stairs only to learn that part of his ladder is broken and I fall all the way down into a bunch of spike traps. In my buddies defense, he needed them because the auger was heating his chunk up pretty strongly and he needed the extra protection. However, my pride was wounded grievously.
I got to give it to Neebs Gaming for having THE BEST death scene in 7 Days. In one of the games they played in A16, when the gang is inside a nasty dungeon style POI and Neebs points out there's a spinning fan blade inside the room. Simon doesn't see it because its above him. Appsro tells Simon to hit space bar, and without even thinking about it he does so, catching full on Cuisinart action right into hamburger.
