Strangulation?

[pwnerman 0]

hey guys

 

 

I was running around svet looking for burlap sacks on an almost empty server on stable trying to finish my gillie and the most random thing occurred that scared the crap out of me.  nobody was even near me and while i was standing still for a second a message popped up in the bottom corner saying "has started strangulation on you" or something to that effect. I can't remember exactly because I had spent alot of time looking for netting and burlap so I panicked, ran away and logged out. 

To my knowledge and a quick google search it doesn't seem like the ability to strangle people is in the game and I know the message said someone or something was strangling me. Plus nobody was even near me. 

 

If anyone could enlighten me on this that would be great.

An Admin can set up Global Chat messages for a set interval, or set up BEC messages for a set interval, and or can use Global Chat themselves and type whatever they want at anytime. :)

Admins who do this are the type I like. Keeping everyone on their toes...

Good idea but not in the game yet. I would love to see the ability to sneak up behind someone and grip the life out of them. Of course I think you should be able to resist somehow too

Being an admin of a server myself, when the server gets laggy and needs to be rebooted, we normally say "Restart in __minutes" and it shows up like direct chat but for everyone, so it shows who is typing out.

To do this i believe you have to set it as a MotD or a BEC global message.

i used to get the wonderful message "i feel like someone is watching me..." or even "my c**k hurts"

there are some creepy and funny ones out there

It's called Global Chat, but if you don't want people seeing your name then you just set the server to talk in Global Chat. This will make it have no name.

Happened to me too. Was looting an industrial building and that message popped up, nothing happened so I assumed it was a troll admin.
