No move for fire death?

Post by Guest » Mon Mar 07, 2005 1:05 am

How come getting opponents to burn to death dosen't have a name (life wolf slayer, or backstab, ect.) and earns you no points?

Because it was most likely an accident that they ran into the fire in the first place.

Indeed, why should you get rewarded for something you probably didn't cause?

I sometimes make an enemy run into a fire so i can kill them more easily or kick an enemy through a fire then let it hit another enemy (easy kills)...

but if it is an accident it would be wrong to use that to get a higher score.

Me also, but its also possible that the player didn't intend to guide the enemy the fire, so when they get a bonus for something they didn't cause it breaks the suspension of disbelief.

If you throw a knife at somebody who doesnt die of it, and then rolls over him and pulls the knife out, you get no score :roll: .
You can´t call THAT an accident :!:

Why should you get a score if it didn't kill?[/url]

if one of the rabbits jumps off the edge of a really tall place without your intervention, you get points for instant-death.

Yes, because you also get a bonus if you throw them off the ledge.
That has always annoyed me though :\

I must admit, watching a rabbit leap off the edge of a floating rock to his horrid demise for no apparent reason other than frustration with life and getting a *large* amount of points for such an event has a certain feeling of disconcertion to it, but it's rather entertaining when they do so to dodge a blow, and there is no greater of a feeling of delectation and ecasty than to physically throw them off the legde, watching their hapless form plummet like a broken man (or rabbit) to make a fresh imprint in the ground, next to the crumpled bodies of their unfortunate comrades, only for their assasin to swiftly return to the gory revery of intense battle on his perilous perch. Such moments far outweigh any of the undermining of the suspension of disbeleif.

I think he said "I like it when the rabbits jump off the ledge."

Sigh... let me paraphrase for you

"I must admit, watching a rabbit leap off the edge... has a certain feeling of disconcertion to it"=When the enemies jump off the edge for no good reason, it seems kind of weird.

"it's rather entertaining when they do so to dodge a blow"= It's funny when they do that to get out of your way.

"there is no greater of a feeling of delectation and ecasty than to physically throw them off the legde."=It's even more fun to throw them of the ledge yourself.

"watching their hapless form plummet like a broken man (or rabbit) to make a fresh imprint in the ground, next to the crumpled bodies of their unfortunate comrades," = It's a great sight to see them fall.

"only for their assasin to swiftly return to the gory revery of intense battle on his perilous perch."= ...And then return to fighting the remaining enemies.

"Such moments far outweigh any of the undermining of the suspension of disbeleif"= Those things make up for the few minor flukes.

See? That wasn't so hard, was it?

Nooo.
When I readt it part by part, I didn't even need an explanation.
