Artistic Death Messages

[/dev/humancontroller]

Wouldn't it be boring if there was only one death message: X was killed by Y? Tremulous currently has a low variety of death messages, mostly a generic one per weapon. Though basically enough, we can add a bit of flavour to it. Let's brainstorm some!

You are encouraged to dump anything that comes to your mind. Don't worry if you think it's not too good. It may even give someone a new idea. Just stay away from one thing: stealing.

[/dev/humancontroller]

just for a start:

nade suicide -> X had his watch handed to him.

(Don't know if it's any good.)

[kevlarman]

this goes in feedback

[mooseberry]

It's funny when you change your name to something like: God decided and... 

[Supertanker]

X lost his grenade pin. Anyone find it? //grenade suicide
X thought the acid tube was a flower //death by acid tube
X was shot in the back by his 'teammate' Y //death by TK
X was chomped by a maruading maruader named Y  //Death from Marauder
X froze in Y's headlights (This would be good for a tyrant killing a human)  //Death from Tyrant
X pointed his flame thrower the wrong way.  //Flame suicide
X thought Y's painsaw was a popsickle and tried to lick it //Death by painsaw
X shouldn't have tried to eat Y's shotgun //death by shotgun
X shouldn't step near glowing yellow balls //Death by lucifer

Give me time and I'll come up with more

[Knowitall66]

X Killed, Y Killer
Drown -> X thought he was a fish/ X didn't realise he can't breath underwater
Lava -> X shouldnt swim in lava, X mistook lava for hotsprings
Swarm -> X forgot bugspray/ X should have called an exterminator
Human Tk -> Y Forgot the safety was off aiming at X/ X was blasted cause Y forgot the safety was on
Rant -> X was torn limb from limb by Y's tyrant
Fall -> X looks like the contents of McD's burger, X created a new doormat, X made a self portrait
Luci -> X fell to the Y Lucifer spamming
Flamer -> X was barbecued by Y (Just needs some hot sauce)
Turret -> X was turned swiss cheese with Turret rounds
HSpawn Explosion -> X was blown up by the buildings he was camping
Granger -> X shouldn't have attacked Y grangers
Was in wrong place -> X was killed by the Guardians *already in my mod*

[kevlarman]

X tried to put the pin back in
^ an old classic.

[Paradox]

They are client side, so go for it.

I made one that made the marauder one a bit more, appropriate:
X bit off Y's Face

[Supertanker]

"Killed by the guardians"
Someone plays halo, I take it?

X was reduced to plasma with Y's plasma rifle
X thought he could fly / X didn't have a jetpack // Death from Gravity
X thought Y's painsaw was a bug light.

[Undeference]

tried petting the granger (instead of "should have visited a medical station")

[mooseberry]

Player X misscooked. (flamer self kill.)

[ShadowNinjaDudeMan]

X understood Y's tyrant namesake

[Haraldx]

i think we shouldnt change death from granger.

X should not touch overmind // death from OM
X is now in two pieces thanks to Y's painsaw // death from painsaw
X flight ended today // death from fall
X was turned into a skeleton // death from acid tube

[NiTRoX]

X's Goon got a Painsaw stuck in his ass.

[Tycho]

It's funny when you change your name to something like: God decided and... 

Like on satGNU with the player named "A bus full of nuns" - > A bus ful of nuns were raped by XY-s Basilisk

[Paradox]

X was masticated by the overmind.

X failed at life <--Suicide
X got a ring from a pineapple <--Gren

[Matt2k10]

X tried to roast a marshmallow over Y's Flamer // Flamer kill
X tried to get the Tyrant off of Y's head // a classic teamkill excuse turned into a kill message
X thought he was Leeroy Jenkins // could be used for various <world> kills
X gave Y a hug // pounce kill
X just wanted to be friends with Y's Tyrant // Tyrant kill

[thirdstreettito]

X was poked to death by Y for poking Y's wife.

[Revan]

X had a total existence failure // Not sure what  suicide? (Look up Heart of Gold on wikipedia)
X's head is hanging in Y trophy room // Blaster humiliation kill!


the petting the granger one is good, and the hug

Letting people think up obituaries usually has a very bad result. This is mostly due to the serious lack of 'sense' for words that people have. Just reading through these posts dramatically proves my point.
