mysterious death bug

mamimi · **Joined:** Wed Nov 23, 2005 4:31 pm **Posts:** 82

So, I was killed recently and something kind of strange is happening. My health shows as -1 and when I try to do anything I get the messages, "Lie still; you are DEAD." or "You're not DEAD yet." I can't actually manifest or do any of the normal things a ghost can and never seem to get taken to the river. I tried praying for help and using the bug command in game with no response. I'm not sure if this is even enough detail, but I hope someone can help.

You are not dead, you are incapitated. You might die in the next few ticks, or just got stack at this critical point between life and death and stay there for like forever. If that's the case, ask some help from an IMM using the pray command, or if you are in a cabal/tribunal have a fellow member come and aid you. Last resort should be to disconnect(not quit), wait to void out/timeout the connection and try to log in afterwards, although I don't know if you will return dead or alive/stunned.

I just tried to help you but you seem to have lost your connection. Try again logging in and I'll help you.

EDIT: when you enter the game the next time, you should be alive. Pray or post here if something is still wrong. At least your character is not idling anymore.

It's a known bug that is difficult to reproduce.

Thank you very much, it seems to be fixed now. I only idled out because in that condition I couldn't quit properly.

Bug? *chuckle* Seems all right to me....

Code:

Achernar: Bring out yer dead. 
[he  puts a body on the cart] 
Elspeth: Here's one. 
Achernar: That'll be ninepence. 
Mamimi: I'm not dead. 
Achernar: What? 
Elspeth: Nothing. There's your ninepence. 
Mamimi: I'm not dead. 
Achernar: 'Ere, he says he's not dead. 
Elspeth: Yes he is. 
Mamimi: I'm not. 
Achernar: He isn't. 
Elspeth: Well, he will be soon, he's very ill. 
Mamimi: I'm getting better. 
Elspeth: No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment. 
Achernar: Well, I can't take him like that. It's against regulations. 
Mamimi: I don't want to go on the cart. 
Elspeth: Oh, don't be such a baby. 
Achernar: I can't take him. 
Mamimi: I feel fine. 
Elspeth: Oh, do me a favor. 
Achernar: I can't. 
Elspeth: Well, can you hang around for a couple of minutes? He won't be long. 
Achernar: I promised I'd be at the Robinsons'. They've lost nine today. 
Elspeth: Well, when's your next round? 
Achernar: Thursday. 
Mamimi: I think I'll go for a walk. 
Elspeth: You're not fooling anyone, you know. Isn't there anything you could do? 
Mamimi: I feel happy. I feel happy. 
[Achernar glances up and down the street furtively, then silences the Body with his a whack of his club] 
Elspeth: Ah, thank you very much. 
Achernar: Not at all. See you on Thursday. 
Elspeth: Right.

*chortles*
