Create a process where a player can get HARSHLY penalized no matter what they
do to try to prevent it from happening..........



FORTUNATELY, Batmud has such a system, its called fumbled ressurect.

scenario:

The caster:
100 ressurect , 100 cast special

The recipient (ME)
99 or 100 Charisma

what can go wrong ??


Perhaps this:...


You feel a bit older.

You lose a level.

You feel mentally weaker.

You feel a lot older.

You feel mentally weaker.


I personally find it ridiculous that even though care was taken to have full
spells/skill and reasonable stats , good charisma , that the fumble
1) even happened , 2) was SOoOOoo ridiculously harsh

Fortunately this happened literally the day before i was going to donate again,
so now i have some money to go find another game for the time being to occupy
me, and hopefully not one with such a ridiculous feature.

I bid you all good day.

In case you didn't notice from my above post, i have stopped taking resses in
general.

To respond to your post in a less knee-jerk-reaction way:

Please tell me WHY should a tarma how has Taken the care to max their stuff and
has good stats but a LOWER LEVEL and the recipient person who has charisma at
perfect, WHY should they be penalized JUST BECAUSE THE TARMA HAS A LOWER LEVEL
??

Please see this post made by pyygins which quite reasonably asked someone to
look into it.

BASED on your response post & the lack of reply/action from pyggins post,
CLEARLY there is a LACK OF CARE/INTEREST here from the immortal side of the
fence...

The described effect indeed seems rather out of line, and a change would be
good to see. That said, I think you'll have a higher chance of influcncing
such a decision if you phrase your request more constructively - while I
haven't yet attempted to push for any changes over here, experience teaches me
that yelling very rarely yields results.

Just a random thought of the day, carry on!
