Title: Kingdom Of Loathing
Post by: Grimm on August 21, 2004, 01:54:26 AM
The Kingdom of Loathing (http://www3.kingdomofloathing.com/login.php)

Found out about this through a thread stearted by Retales in the Zombie Panic forums. After playing it for quite some time, it dawned on me that it seemed nobody here knew about the game. So, I thought I'd show everyone.

Kingdom of Loathing is a web-based RPG, although it isn't your average, everyday swords-and-sorcery RPG. KoL has a very unique and humorous style and design. For example, the currency  for the game is meat, rather than gold or platinum or coins, and the gear ranges from mohawk wigs to chef's hats to mullet wigs to Knob Goblin helms. Each day, your character has a certain number of "adventures", which are essentially "turns", to do stuff. Stuff includes going to a location to adventure in a particular part of an area, such as Degrassi Knoll in the Plains. Going on these adventures can bring you equipment and meat, along with experience for defeating an enemy. There are a handful of classes to choose from when you start out with, which include: the Seal Clubber, Turtle Tamer, Pastamancer, Sauceror, Disco Bandit, and the Accordion Thief. I could go on more about it, but instead I think I'll just tell you that I've had a lot of fun playing it, and I recommend you do to. I'll leave you with a screenshot of my character currently; I have a level 5 Pastamancer, and I'm part of the Zombie Panic clan in-game that Retales created.

So does nobody else like completely random adventuring, like going into the Dark Neck of the Woods and fighting a P Imp, or going to Mt. McLargeHuge to fend off an Orcish Snowboarder? You don't know what you're missing.  ;)

I'm gonna give the thread a little bump because people in IRC keep asking about it without realizing this thread has been here for a while. It really is a great game, lot of random hilarity and fun.

i wish i didn't run out of adventures every day, i want to keep going!

do you have to buy new skills or something? i only have the 1 i started with, and i'm level 4.
Title: Kingdom Of Loathing
Post by: Grimm on August 26, 2004, 04:28:08 PM
Yea, you can get more skills through the guilds in town. Look on the right or left sides of the tracks, there's a guild for each type of fighter; Seal Clubbers and Turtle Tamers go to the Brotherhood of the Smack Down, Pastamancers and Saucerers go to the League of the Chef-Magi, and Accordian Theives and Disco Bandits go to The Department of Shadowy Arts and Crafts. You have to perform three initiation tasks before they let you in, although since you're level four you shouldn't have any problems passing.

Has anyone been attacked while camping? I smashed my hippy-stone right away, and now I wonder if camping early on is worth a potential smackdown. What is the penalty for dying, anyway?

people the same level as you can attack you. when they attack, they choose to use mus,mys, or mox. they also pick what they want as a prize (stats, items, meat) items in your closet are safer than in your inventory.

say they pick muscle and stats. if they have the higher muscle, you lose, and the attacker steals some stats from you and he gets them. if you win while on defense, you don't gain anything, but it lets you know who tried and failed.

it is entirely based on who has the higher stats. a popular strategy is to pump the 2 stats that don't affect your character level to crazy levels. filling your campground with as much stuff as you can helps, a bunch (spooky scarecrow,fung sheway, etc) automatically lower the attacker's stats a little. try to get barb wire and white picket fences, meat golem, etc.

stat fights don't appeal to me. i wish you could use your moves and stuff. luckily i researched pvp instead of smashing the stone for the hell of it.

edit: be quite drunk before going on the attack. drunkenness helps.

On that note, does better booze = more adventures?  :)

Title: Kingdom Of Loathing
Post by: fatty on September 11, 2004, 12:10:11 PM
yes. generally, the more times you add things to a drink, the better stuff it gives.

How do you people think of these things?  I would have never thought to combine those two things.
Title: Kingdom Of Loathing
Post by: X-S-Z on September 15, 2004, 02:42:55 PM
Oh now it's getting fun. Adventure away, then eat and get piss-ass drunk to the point where you cant do a thing. Sounds bad, but having 20-30 more adventures a day is worth it.  :p

I feel my conclusion at least had some founding considering A) I had no helmet and B) he was wearing one =/

Anyways.. I received it..   :D
I'm glad I didn't ask for any actions to be taken..  I would have really looked like a jerk then  :(
