Macro killers

[Rip_the_Jacker]

Hey everyone this is my first post so just wanna say greetings to you all. You're all cool in my mind cuz we all play this game.

Anyways, I was macroing music on my char and macroing hiding on my brother's char yesterday. I went to the Moonglow zoo cuz there's always people there callin guards and I'm sick of thieves luring stuff to my afk char and killing them cuz they got nothing better to do. Somehow I was killed by a red "Macroingisbad". I went into my death-screenshots and on one there's explosions around a dim screen, and the other has a system message "You see MY CHAR attacking Karen!" and I'm grey before the next screenshot says I'm dead.

Is he able to provoke me into attacking a guard? How could a red attack anyone in guards when quite simply there are at least 4 players yelling "guards" every sec right next to me. I'd post the screenshots but it says my image must be 0 pixels wide, dk how that works.

Anywho thanks for any help given.

I would like to see this screenshot. Did you have the option to report this murder?

hrm, is it possible he tricked your char into opening a box.

I went into my death-screenshots

Death Screenshots? How do these work?

[Senses]

Razor has a toggle in the screenshots tab to turn on taking a screenshot everytime you die.

If you do anything to summon a guard, you will auto attack him as well. So you'll see that you attacked so and so guard.

Here....

^^There's a grey guy at bottom left screen and explode potions lined up.

And here...



^^He's dead now. How was I attacking Karen?

You attacked no one.

The screenshot reads : You see Storm Silverhand attacking Karen.

Your name is Ganondorf, not Storm Silverhand.


You died by explosion potions, which is a valid way to kill people in town : http://wiki.uosecondage.com/index.php?title=Townkilling

That is bizzare for sure, and Storm Silverhand also has a grey name indicating something criminal happened.

There's not chace probably that you had it in your macro to rethrow explosion potions?

This will be looked into. It's clear from this anyway that Ganodorf didn't commit any crime.

I can't say with complete certainty, but from the pics it appears to me that "Macroingisbad" set out several explosion pots behind the macroers, then opened a gate, tossed an explosion potion, and stepped through the gate. The one pot set off all the others in a chain reaction that killed everyone macroing. In the next pic, Storm Silverhand was then looting the blue corpses of the macroers, thus making himself a criminal, and was probably guard killed shortly after, by Karen perhaps. As for Karen, that sounds like its probably a guard name, but I am a little unsure. I just don't recall ever seeing a player named Karen. If only I was a GM Forensics!

[Rip_the_Jacker]

Storm Silverhand is my character, and Ganondorf is my brother's. All we had was I think Music and Anatomy macroing next to each other, no explode potions. Also, in the screenshots you see a guy at the bottom left corner alive in one and dead in the other.

I'm more just curious than mad that I lost anything. Storm attacking the guard is certainly odd. I hate afk killers as much as anybody so I thought I'd see what it was all about.

Thanks for the assistance.

Keep in mind that things can go wrong when macroing.

Example:
I was using razor to macro the following

Code: Select all

Use Evalint 
click the banker
Cast Lightening
target myself
Meditate
*repeat

Somehow I got to the point to cast lightening and did not target myself, and when the target timed out the script looped back to Evalint which did not work or something an then went to the "wait for target" of the Evalint, but the target was for lightening. So needless to say I lighteninged the banker and was immediately guard-whacked.

It is important to put safe-guards into your macros, for instance, I changed the script delays to make sure everything had time to work even with lag. Then I turned back on my "Warn before Criminal action" option.
