When do ego's die?

[ehcb]

Eep, sorry. It was supposed to be a good-natured joke.

You could have a game where everything was a deathtrap.  Like, if you don't unplug the radio before taking a bath.  Or forget to open the garage door before turning on your car and asphyxiating.  Or you could get your hand caught in the blender.  Or there could be an item lodged in a toaster, and all you have to get it out with is a butter knife.  Or you could be doused with moth attractant and be smothered by lepidoptera.  Or you could be reaching into a car trunk and have it accidentally close.

I remember a text adventure game (interactive fiction!!) where you had to die several times just to finish the bloody game.

That was in Curse of Monkey Island too.

You didn't die in COMI, You just became unconcious.

I've been working on an idea for years where your main character actually has to die several times and be reincarnated as several different things to finish the game.  I wonder if you'll get reincarnated if you die in  Buddhies?

-You purchase a rocket from ACME, but that d@#$ed Road-Runner causes you to collide into a cliff, after which a boulder falls on your head.

-You tear the tag off of a mattress and the vengefull Mattress God zaps you.

-Even though the sign clearly says "Do Not Feed the Mandrills", you go ahead and feed the mandrills.

-You are convicted of spamming and are chained to a rock while vultures devour your intestines.

-You have a low-fiber diet.

I'm makeing this game>Lefty: Goes on vacation (Not in the right place).
I have got 4 screens ready and one of the screens is a bar. When you go in you see that there is some pee in the corner but when you smell it then you die.
Thats how you get killed in my game

Gas-explosion when you turn on the light. KABOOM!

[Allen]

That reminded me of this...

<Plot> I was either going to die now
<Plot> or get 80% third degree burns atleast
<Plot> someone had the gas nob opened
<Plot> I went into kitchen
<Plot> switched a bulb
<Plot> and wham
<Plot> kitchen was filled with one big ass fire ball
<theForger> woah dude
<C--> damn
<Jyrsija> jesus
<ThaDragon> If you just blow up your kitchen, and then proceed to get on IRC and tell people about it, you might be a junkie.

People are sooooooooo stupid

Here's another death example:

*Space ship falls down from the space killing the player
*An hightide comes and killes....

[Jelle]

It starts raining fridges and one of those falls on your head.

- Hehehe, your boogers riot and start eating the inside of your head.
- Drinking one too many pukejuice.
- Naming yourself 'Kon-Tiki' (or any other name, but placing 'Allen Barret' there would cause some fights )
- Accidentally stabbing yourself with a turkish helmet.

A William Tell type death
Being stuck inside a freezer
Eating food cooked by Raf Vermeulen
Falling in a lake
Sniffing erasers
Blowing a rubber until it explodes
