Last Words

[pistolshrimp]

Having recently been forcefully purged of my sins gave me an idea.

A new skill called last words. Basically it allows for a last message (up to a certain number of characters) to be entered and displayed after being killed.

It would also change the timeout after being killed to a little longer, say 45 or 60 seconds for those who have this skill.





I envision it being a low level skill requiring Perennial Philosophy, Faith & Wisdom, and Law & Lore things you would get on your way to becoming a criminal or ranger. I also changed the font and background to give the words a bit of gravity but obviously this is just a personal preference.

The skill icon is modified from something I grabbed of deviant art just as an example. The picture should also be in no way thought of as a threat to those involved in the incident.

I would prefer a grenade to do the talking at this point.

Would be cool. I tend to ask people if they have any last words just before i start the murder animation unless i'm in a rush or something. Probably only about 1/5 people tell me some last words which i find disappointing, so i think something like this would be fun and i'd get to see last words more often. I also think with the skill you should be able to set your last words in advance, so we get to see something even from players who are summon killed. I think people would find it really fun choosing what their last words will be in case they die and appreciate that they will have this tiny piece of control in their deaths even if they aren't online when they die.

I like something simular, I was in a hurry in your case Pistol. You were running away and you had no homestead, so I made sure that I summoned you before you could claim one.

That's a great addition to this idea.

Lol. I had no idea what was going on. I think I asked if what you were doing was necessary. I'm a crime-noob.
