His further fate:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After snuffing out yourself and all your compatriots by closing the Chaos
Gate, Ancardia falls into revelry. Your stupid and utterly bumbling deed
becomes the background for many stories, sung and recounted by bards over
the millennia, among the laughter of the inhabitants of Ancardia.

Your black soul is retrieved by Andor Drakon to suffer HiS eternal tortures,
most exquisitely applied by him personally for a couple of millennia to
quench his ire. Afterwards his lackeys find eternal bliss in letting you
reconsider your actions through the application of unimaginable pain.

You cannot stop wondering (whenever you manage to catch a clear thought
amidst wrecking pain) why you deserved this? Ancardia in the meantime
continues to evolve to be an exciting and ever-changing world.

You'll want to wrap the above in code tags ([\code] and [/code]) [remove back slash, keep forward slash].

[Iridia]

Is this the second troll Stupidest Follower ending I've seen so far? I think it's got to be. Trolls just lend themselves to that kind of thing.

Congrats!

[Stingray1]

They probably think the levers will make nice clubs. This one had an exceedingly high Le though, must be a racial thing then. Congrats on being the stupidest ChAoS follower ever. ;)

Long story short, I kind of forgot to pick up a certain sceptre @ I:40 or so whilst hunting a greater moloch and then it was left behind forever etc. etc.

he was at le:23 or so, drank all potions of boost [foo] before turning the handle. Havlor helps, and a few *oKnowledge :]

i didn't think you could leave behind artifacts in the ID?

BTW you must have been incredibly incredibly close to dying of old age.

[Utnapishtim]

It is possible to leave behind the Sceptre of Chaos at least. This is what happened to my dark elven paladin a couple of days ago. The message when climbing the stairs is something like "you feel like leaving behind an essential part of chaos... forever."

So my congratulations and condolences for scraping a gate closer after something like that, I know that more-bitter-than-sweet feeling all too well (will post YAVP when I get to it)... although the "most stupid" ending with a chaos knight probably rubs it in quite a bit more poignantly :D

Mutta onnittelut silti! (Don't ask where I spotted that he's a Finn, you don't really want to know).

[Iridia]

Ehh, I think the Stupid Chaos Knight ending is kind of funny. It's like TB is saying, "Well, what did you expect, silly player, rolling up a chaos knight and then doing the exact opposite of what you're supposed to be doing?"

[Stingray1]

The possibility of leaving the scepter in the ID is actually sort of an unwinnable game situation, if you know what I mean. I wonder whether destruction of the open levers as an RFE will be accepted by this community/TB? What do you people think? Or should I first wait to see what the volcano and Rolf's brings up??

[Orfeni]

I believe the only artifact you're NOT able to leave in ID is the si (I might be wrong tho)

You can still get a regular ending if you lose the Scepter. And the game does stress that the SIL is a special part of infinity, which may be why this can happen there. But allowing open levers to get destroyed would be bad game design, because it makes the game unwinnable for those who didn't plan on crossing to the ChAoS plane.

I don't see what the big deal is with the wand of destruction tactic, to be honest.

[Stingray1]

I was thinking along the lines, that D:47 would become accessible once the levers were destroyed. Thus having a more positive game ending for ChAoS and also the Chaos Knight in question and then of course also the possibility would be there for non-Chaos Knights to get this ending, but ChAoS would triumph then. Maybe call it the Nihilist ending and the character has to rush out of the chain before something happens. Don't ask me all these details though. I only remember those two things. As I didn't really read the entire idea. :p

Or the game could just end then with ChAoS being triumphant and the CK not stupid.

Actually, even when I played non-CK Chaotic characters I didn't feel that closing the gate is what I wanted to do. All three CKs I had on D:50 definitely did not even once consider pulling the levers.

Then you are lost for ever.

[timeywimey]

this is true as far as anyone can tell.

[timeywimey]

I don't even know how I got to this topic but +1. There's nothing like that feeling when pressing ">" or "<" just totally ruins your game. Not that it is a bad thing, but it'd be nice to have some sort of "Now come on, stupid human, are you totally sure you want to climb these stairs and leave that object behind, man?" :)

[timeywimey]

ok lol I thought I somehow went to some other topic but indeed it was just still this silly troll chaos knight topic. Might aswell write something here:

pretty much "fuck you, your mother, your father and especially you yourself" -melee mentality since the beginning. Got some early aging hits from a ghost bat but I managed (since rng gave me 0 !oYouth, but a few !oLongevity). Got a super lucky =oD just before khelevaster -> easy peasy scrolls of chaos resistance. Did all the chaos quests (fed the rat with crown, shield, and what's the other thing the blacksmith gives + phial & maybe some random stuff I don't even remember).

I gotta say that feeling when you're at deep I and you know you're getting corrupted a lot by every step you take and then you hear the *THUMP* and you need the xp and you drop the sceptre and you hunt the greater moloch and you teleport to the staircase and you go ">" and you realize you done and fucked it.. there's just nothing like that :D

edit: when I climbed up, leaving the sceptre behind, I instantly shouted "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" at the screen. I don't think I've ever done that before. I mean, sure i've been pissed at some games but just shouting "no!" and pulling my hairs out? Nah, never before. Adom <3

[Soirana]

if you know what I mean. I wonder whether destruction of the open levers as an RFE will be accepted by this community/TB? What do you people think?
d50 levers in open state [before using at least] are not affected by destruction of any known means. So no I do not know what you mean.

Apparently you can't destroy the open levers in the first place. However, if you could, I don't see how it would be bad game design. Simply don't use a wand of destruction near the open levers if you don't want to make it impossible to close the gate. It makes perfect sense that you would be screwed if you managed to destroy some levers before switching them to the closed position, thereby locking them into a fixed open position forever.

If you lose the scepter of Chaos as a crowned chaotic chaos knight, you can only close the gate to "win". It is however not a victory for the chaos knight.

Yes, that would be the idea of the ending. Chaos triumps as the gate can never be closed with the levers destroyed in the open position. We need to think of ways this ending will work? Does the game just stop then? Must the character get out of the Drakalor chain in a certain period of time? Et cetera. I would like some feedback in this regard and not a discussion on whether or not the levers can currently be destroyed in the open position. That has already been verified by myself. Even if you close and open them again.

Edit - I'll create a thread in general if you guys think we should maybe not discuss the ending here? As probably not everyone is reading YAVP and I don't want to be accused of hijacking, however I'll remind myself a little further into development as one never knows what TB already has in mind.
