Viewing events before death.

Postby Relegalize » Sun Feb 01, 2009 5:16 am

I'd be surprised if no one has suggested this before but the closest topic I could find was the last words thread.

I had my first character death today. I won't get into details but I knew the end was coming for her. The only problem I have is not being able to see what had happened prior to her death. I think it should be possible to still log onto the character to see the events that transpired before their death. Did her companion say something to her before she took her final breath? Did her killer have something smart to say before delivering the killing blow? These are things your character would have heard or seen before the end. Unlike the last words thread you shouldn't be able to say or do anything since your character is already dead. Nor should you see or hear anything that happened after the character died. But the events that took place while you were logged out but before the character dies should still be viewable.

People get sent an email with the events from the last moments of their character's life. If you didn't get an email, the mailing system may have been down as it often is, which would be a tragedy, or then the message may have been filtered as junk mail.

Can you not just request the turn report anymore? That'll have the daily events for all your characters, including the moment of death and anything before it.

I may be outdated though.

Thats to bad. Dramatic death is much more fun to read about. is it possible to have a few events mailed to the dead instead of just the previous line?

I've often thought it'd be nice to be able to login for a few days after death, just to see the events leading up to it. I'm lazy. And can't be bothered to check my emails

Yes, it would be great to be able to see the events with the usual Cantr formatting, with mouse-over character descriptions still intact, and without all that <CANTR_REPLACE_NAME crap.
