Player was immortalized by Zedek
Player was purged by Menelkir

Can't guess for the others...

In the spirit of keeping it simple,

Player was slain by Zedek

Menelkir absorbed player's mana

Player was converted by the Heresiarch

Player didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition

NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Sorry. I must be getting really sleepy.

So only one obituary for the Crusader and Inquisitor, correct?

Crusader:

Player was slain by a Crusader.

Inquisitor:

Player was executed by an Inquisitor.

Although I do have to make a comment on this.

I really do hate 'Player was slain by ****'. It's just so dull.

I thought so too. Also, the Crusaders in Strife aren't really like, human crusaders so the word "slain" doesn't really sound right. They're robots.

I really liked the separate obituaries for the Crusader I made on page 1 - and they also made sense and were simple - but Graf says there can't be separate obits. :/

EDIT: LOL @ Spanish Inquisition

It fits a sword wielding opponent quite well though, IMO.

I think mauled would fit better. :\
but that's just my $0.02. meh.

Well, if the crusaders bare any resemblance to the CyberMen, "Player was deleted by a Crusader" sounds good to me

Post by **Nash** » Sun Dec 03, 2006 4:10 pm

"Deleted" is already used by The Programmer...

Hmm... so it is. Oh well, it was an idle comment anyway

Blunt and to the point as a fighter boss deserves. Added.

Menelkir absorbed player's mana

That doesn't make that much sense. How about:

Player couldn't absorb Menelkir's Mana.

I think that fits better.

Belial · Post by **Belial** » Sun Dec 03, 2006 4:38 pm

Sure.

Crusader: Player's crusade was/has ended

Inquisitor: Player was sentenced by the Inquisitor

Ok, that leaves the Heresiarch. Anyone has something good for him?

Post by **Nash** » Sun Dec 03, 2006 4:46 pm

I thought "Player was converted by a Heresiarch" was cool.
