The Black Wednesday of Elements the Game (A short story)

[SpikeSpiegel]

For all those that have been on the moon for the last 24 hours, here what happened to our game, accounts, mental and physical health.

Everything is fine, as usual. Newbies are griding as mad for the incomin' war. Worldwideweb3 is crying in a corner for the incomin' war. The undersigned complains for the 5000th time about incomin' war rules. ddevans96 reports for the 6000th the undersigned, this time for his complains about incomin' war. Discord gives her 1.000.000th welcome in chat. Etc...

Main game database crashes and burnes. (A team of experts is still looking for the causes; a major curse, a meteor, a big prank by zanz or, most likely, we just reached the critical noobness point.).

100 players die instantly, after reading the game message "account not found". All others begin to enter chat, flooding it with questions. Discord welcome counter explodes. www3 postpones war #9 to next century and begins an everlasting "drinkin' tour" around the globe.

The hysteria reaches uncontrollable levels. Some people are seen cutting paper sheets and starting playing Elements live. Meanwhile, Black Friday suicides count is doubled.

Forum Admins contact Zanzarino, through an evocation which sees in order: two human sacrifices, a rain dance (made by Higu), a dance of snow (made by Alan), a skydiving without parachute (made by Anti).

Zanzarino appears trough a dimensional gate and tries to restore everything. Due a temporal issue caused by the gate, the entire game is restored to last March. 99.9% of survived veterans begin to cry. 99.9% of survived new players begin to cry blood.


Wednesday, September 02 2015, 23.30 UTC

Zanzarino, in his infinite wisdom, transcends himself and rewinds time restoring everything: game, accounts, died people, etc...


Thursday, September 03 2015, 00.30 UTC

Antiaverage, Higurashi and SpikeSpiegel are still waiting for their accounts to be restored. Meanwhile, they row.

Interesting story Spikes

Discord gives her 1.000.000th welcome in chat.

Not sure what to take of this though xD

[Higurashi]

Don't worry, I'm back to my March account too. Rest in pieces lots of , a bit of score and a few Nymphs. I don't even remember who you were besides a Purple. Probably just more and

[kirbylover314]

10/10 would read again.

I almost feel like there should be a forum award for surviving.

I almost feel like there should be a forum award for surviving.

Imagine a PvP tournament where this happens and all players must use from a very limited pool of cards (like there might be only 2 SoSac available for usage, and no Tridents or something) that reflect how some accounts became. Then as players went on and beat other players (i.e. grinding), they would gain more cards to use (and who knows, maybe every three or so players they beat, they get a rare of their choice as a special spin).

Would be fun.

[19:27:20] ‹antiaverage› almost feels like we need a forum award to commemorate
[19:27:40] ‹Beefmud754› i felt pretty bad but then i saw some of the post where people said how much score they lost and it was more than i was worth Oo
[19:27:52] ‹MeowMeowCat› A single tear. :tongue:
[19:28:10] ‹antiaverage› Nymph's Tear?
[19:28:21] ‹MeowMeowCat› yep
[19:28:23] ‹Beefmud754› A single purification tear IMO
[19:28:44] ‹Beefmud754› the picture just looks more fitting
[19:29:47] ‹MeowMeowCat› start selling "I Survived Black Wednesday" T-Shirts
[19:30:17] ‹Beefmud754› with nightmare as the pic on the back of course
[19:30:44] ‹Guest-Singularity-0dc51› ‹@MeowMeowCat› lol
[19:30:53] ‹Guest-Singularity-0dc51› ‹@MeowMeowCat› We could fund the forums
[19:33:35] ‹Coffeeditto› Don't forget your "Black Wednesday" edition Coffee Mugs
[19:39:46] ‹Guest-Singularity-0dc51› ‹@antiaverage› What would the icon be lol
[19:40:03] ‹godisnowonline› a single nymphs tear
[19:40:20] ‹godisnowonline› like a styalized tear drop
[19:40:38] ‹antiaverage› ‹@Guest-Singularity-0dc51› Nightmare
[19:40:43] ‹godisnowonline› lol
[19:40:47] ‹antiaverage› or a tear drop, that sounds nice, too
[19:40:56] ‹antiaverage› we would probably run a design contest
[19:41:39] ‹Basman-1453› ‹@antiaverage› ... actually, that's a nice idea
