Meteors

[AriaGirl77]

Wow!  That's so crazy!

I"m thinking this is kind of like when one of Pam's challenge characters died in the swimming pool, even though the sim wasn't fatigued or anything.

My political traiter challenge got hit by an meteor too. They where both sleeping in their outdoor bed when the message came that it gotten dark over Martin McAleese. I woke them up and they only got away with a few seconds to go.

I was told I could start over, but I sure didn't do the same thing the second time as I did the first time.  I was sure watching the top right corner, because I would have been so out of there, lol.  Too bad I didn't get to see how much that meteor was worth, by then I could not click on it.  I appreciate the do over.

Awesome Salty! I'm so happy for you! Good luck! 

[Schipperke]

Saltypaws, I'm so glad you're going to be restarting your challenge game!  You'll have a lot of fun with it.  Although maybe I should be wishing for all my competitors to drop out, then I wouldn't have to worry about coming in last.   

Has anyone had meteors in any of the travel destinations?  I'm wondering if they happen there.  This is a big concern as my sims tend to live in tents while on vacation, and it would be nice to know if it's still safe for them to do so.  I can just picture a meteor shower totally destroying base camp in Egypt.

Just to give all Tournament players a heads up on this whole meteor issue, I'm contemplating just having a standing policy of allowing a redo in the event of death by meteor to a challenge character. So far it's only happened to Salty, but I'm pretty confident it's going to happen again. So, that's probably what will happen — sort of an "unwritten rule" that everyone knows about. Or I'll just spell it out as an exception to the one shot rule. But, I want to see if it happens again anytime soon.

That's quite a wild story, Salty! Could you tell if the ghost was the same kind of orange as when they die in a fire?

This must be the new death in this EP. How does the tombstone look like?

[twrdrockfan]

Yeah... I got that warning once. My loner sim was sculpting away outside, and all the neighbors gathered around the edge of my property. Then, SQUISH. One less player-controlled sim in the world.

I HATE meteors.

[jayseesee]

Big rock, moving kinda fast, huge shadow, notification, special music.  Run?

[Saltypaws]

It was still orange, pic on previous page.  You got that right jayseesee.  Only thing is, I tried to click on her to "go here" and it was too late, that meteor had it in for her, lol.  They say that they actually signal out the sim to land on.  So far I have been bery bery careful of those signs, lol.  Tombstone looks the same as always.

[pallyndrome]

Whats the sign on the tombstone though? Don't they usually have different signs according to how they died? Like an hour glass for old age, and a flame for burning?

[Saltypaws]

Hmmmm, darn, that is one pic I did not get and to be honest, I never really noticed.  Thanks for pointing that out.  I will pay more attention next time.  *smacking self for not taking pic* lol

[Asleep]

It's probably just a falling meteor.

Do death flowers save you from meteors?
