How did you last die?

SuicideRey:

I was in the swamps when I suddenly got sucked down into a small cave thing… Commited suicide after checking every corner for an exit…

Yeah, sinkholes are no fun, and are a common theme in swamps.

Swamps are just a big no-no in general.

Crashed into a triple wreck with my flatbed at around 32 Km/h. There were several Steel jerrycans of Gasoline in the back. The car exploded, and I was thrown into a bookcase for 946 damage to every part of my body, killing me instantly.

There are chassis thrown several blocks away from the crash. Fires are raging. Cars that had absolutely nothing to do with the original wreck are on fire and heavily damaged. They didn’t have wheels, so they kicked up a mound of dirt as they moved around (nice touch by the way.)

I still can’t find my body. I have no idea where all this destruction came from, considering how slow I was going. On the other hand, I now know how to create a WMD from a truck.

[quote=“Pthalocy, post:239, topic:339”]So, I got an android who came with the ability to eat batteries for fuel, and adamantine claws. Nice!

Problem: I ran out of power with my claws out.

I could not disassemble anything for batteries, nor could I pick them up off the floor to consume them. My claws prevented me from anything dexterous. They also prevented me from eating regular food.

Deciding I didn’t want to suicide the old fashioned way, OR starve to death, I ran out into a field and jumped inside the first available giant worm.[/quote]

Too bad you don’t have the save. Bionic Claws are supposed to retract for free (to prevent precisely this occurrence), IIRC, so I’d call your experience a bug.

I decided to round up the zombies around a hotel. Thought to taking a 1 tile wide shortcut between the hotel and a house next to it was a good idea, but an extra zombie came from the other end. Then I thought it would be a good idea to instead of fighting the 1 zombie, climb in a hotel room through the window. The door was closed. I was bashing on it with my wrench without effect dying eventually.

Oh, shit - really? Crap. Well, I run the ‘official’ 0.5 release, not any of the dev versions, so if it’s been corrected in a revision since then, that’s why I experienced it. My bionics did not deactivate on their own, nor was I unable to deactivate my bionics manually. Guess I’m going to github to mention this. Thanks for pointing that out.

My bike blew a tire after slamming into a hulk. The hulk then proceeded to rip the tire off, the seat off, the frame off, and then my torso off. The whole while I was blasting him with fusion blasts to a resounding 5 damage each.

I knew I should have made my weekly sacrifice to the random number god.

Weekly? I thought he required a daily sacrifice.

Mate · 2013-05-22T01:01:54.000Z

I’m pretty sure he requires a sacrifice somewhere between a day and a week.

Guess it depends on the sacrifice. He really likes the flesh of the unborn.

I was trying to clear out a town of zombies with a slightly damaged flatbed truck, flinging cars around, ramming them and essentially having a pretty fun time up until I crashed into a window and suddenly something exploded. I was practically dead so applied a bandage on myself, but then some more explosions continued to go off and I died. I was hoping to start over again anyway, it was almost the end of Summer and I had someone with only 10 int.

ballfairy · 2013-05-22T18:43:39.000Z

just played my first game in .5 and accidently committed suicide without reading the prompt (immediately hit Y when the prompt came up)

Good job brain.

Mate · 2013-05-22T21:07:45.000Z

I’ve only committed suicide once so far. I left the shelter, a few minutes later stepped in a bear trap, went back to the shelter, down the basement, committed suicide in the corner.

DerpMcgee · 2013-05-22T22:52:27.000Z

Was running back home with a couple of gas tanks to put on my bicycle that I had turned into a motorcycle.

Whennnnnn, I was eaten by zombie dogs.

With a side of liquid from a molested pregnant bovine.

I have a couple of stories really.

My last death in 0.4 was quite saddening. It was a character I had been working on for a week. Had a LMOE shelter full of goods, firearms skills nice and high. I felt like I could take on anything. I was in the habit of disarming traps, as I had finally gotten my skill to an okay level thanks to skill books. When I find a stash surround by traps I started to disarm them, one by one. When I try to disarm a certain shotgun trap though… You accidentally set off the shotgun trap. I was hit in the head… Killing me instantly. Oh what a way to go.

My more recent death in 0.5 was less saddening. I was checking out some of the new buildings in 0.5. I ran into a regional school, in an attempt to escape from a hoard. I knew there would be zombies in there, and quickly made my way out through another window… right into the face of a web spider. He only had to hit me twice before I was dead. Oh how cruel the world can be sometimes.

the worst is when you’re unexpectedly the host of a house bear party AND the main dish in your safe house.

my public works was SOOOO beautiful :((((

I woke up to a Flaming Eye blasting my beautiful safe house to death.

Weird, I remember surviving a shotgun trap in the head. I wasn’t using hardcore and glass jaw though.

I had glass jaw actually. Likely didn’t help my only headwear at the time was a bandanna.
