Can we have the range of death messages extended? Are they broadcast at all actually? Sector wide would be nice.

I think they were taken out to discourage griefing. It seems like there are enough safe guards in place now to avoid that. I was watching some battles yesterday and it was frustrating to have to look to the sector list and scan for who just disapeared when somone blew up.

Also, when a bot kills you it should be the old 'aped' death message. What was it again?

Hoax aped Icarus with green lasers.
Hoax aped Phoenix with green lasers.
Frygar aped Hoax with blue ions.

If anything can compete with a monkey for fun it's an ape. Right turn Clyde.

Hoax got ionized by UncleDave.
Hoax got phaserized by UncleDave.
Hoax got fried by UncleDave's neutrons.
Hoax got annihilated by UncleDave's positrons.
Hoax resembles swiss cheese thanks to UncleDave's flechettes.
Hoax has been gaussed to death by UncleDave.
Hoax got sniped (HEAD SHOT!) by UncleDave.

I got bored at this point.

I don't like this thread so well anymore =(

actually, it just got a whole lot better =)~

johnhawl218 was pummelled by a string of Apex's Jackhammer rockets.

>:D

"You've been Thunderclaw'd!"

Ah, the good old days. Seriously though, I was just thinking this the other day. I would love to see the sector-wide kill messages put back in, both for PKs and bot kills. Pride in accomplishment and all that....

It would also eliminate the need for the "who got em?" discussion

Tyrdium fragged Apex
Apex rode Tyrdium's rocket
Apex cratered

:D
