Legend of the Green Dragon

[Dysnomia]

I finally got my weaponized phallus! 

[LMNO]

I appreciate that gameplay continues even if you get killed.

However, it appears that I was attacked when I wasn't even logged on.  That doesn't seem right for some reason.

[Eve]

Sorry for killing you.

It's part of the game. You pay for a bit of security staying in the inn, but you're still risking other people paying off the barkeep (usually at significantly higher cost than you paid) to sneak into your room. Just like quitting into the fields puts you at risk of anyone within two levels of you.

[LMNO]

Hmmm.

So, I'm guessing the culture around here is to attack each other for lulz?

Also, how come I don't get to find out the username of the person who killed me?

[Eve]

Not so much for the lulz (not gonna lie, though, I do enjoy it ) as the assload of xp it gets you if you win. You should have a notification message, I think, about being killed--check in the top right corner? Otherwise, you can probably find it in the News, which is one of the sidebar links.

[Payne]

I've been attacking players, but I'm thinking I'm actually going to stop that now.

Seeing as it CAN be horrendously annoying.

I'm going to attack only those who attack me and kill me. Maybe I'll start a clan up for the express purpose of this, and anyone who attacks and kills our one of our clansmen gets an assload of retaliation.

Basically --
if you log out without finding a place to sleep, your character just goes to bed on the ground and will be vulnerable to random people coming by and assassinating you.

If you log out in an inn, you're much safer because people will have to bribe the bartender for a shot at killing you.

Assassinating somebody while they're at the inn is a bit more aggressive - if somebody's doing it to you repeatedly, that person is a dick. There's a lot of incentive to kill other players because they give the best XP... but it is kind of unsportsmanlike to head hunt newbies.

Also, how come I don't get to find out the username of the person who killed me?

The LOGD Mail system is called Ye Olde Mail. It's easy to miss. You should be able to see a message in your inbox which will inform you of who killed ye.

I'm going to attack only those who attack me and kill me. Maybe I'll start a clan up for the express purpose of this, and anyone who attacks and kills our one of our clansmen gets an assload of retaliation.

that's a great idea for a clan

[LMNO]

My mailbox only said I was killed in my sleep.  Didn't say who was responsible.

[Cramulus]

weird. I wonder if it's in yesterday's daily news.

[Eve]

Hipster Eve defeated Peasant Wolfeyes Shadowspear in fair combat in the fields of Peedy Swamp.

[Eve]

whoops double post

[LMNO]

Well, I guess I better get with a clan soon, ere my ass gets handed to me on a regular basis.

[Eve]

The inn is good protection. For what it's worth, I was trying to suicide out so I could resurrect and not wait for more turns.

[LMNO]

Heh.  You're two levels higher than me.  What did you think was going to happen?

[Cramulus]

btw, for those of you that haven't seen it, we now have a chat room.

Check out #logd on irc.maddshark.net (same place as #discord).
