Leave Micheal Jordan alone!

[background color=var(--bbc-body-bg-color)]The sentence "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" can be translated by "In his [/background][background color=var(--bbc-body-bg-color)]house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming[/background][background color=var(--bbc-body-bg-color)]".[/background]

I guess they missed the "i" out?

Monk [2271278] 16 Oct 2021, 16:23 TCT · #24

Is the number 23 relevant to Cthulhu at all? I know nothing about the guy.

Dan_Gleeballs [2586254] 16 Oct 2021, 16:25 TCT · #25

I agree. By our standards today he was racist. I won't excuse him for where he was. But I love his stories and the mythos he developed. Well worth a read if you can get used to his convoluted writing style. There's a reason he's so hugely influential welll past his death, and he's more regarded now than he was in his life time.

Comrade_Joe [1691447] 16 Oct 2021, 16:29 TCT · #26

We all know Cthulhu unlocks Crimes 2.0

That's why it's the end times.

CRLF [2095076] 16 Oct 2021, 16:32 TCT · #27

This ID was in my "dead accounts" list and so hasn't been checked in quite a while. So I have no idea how long ago it was updated. I had to do an exhaustive search of the first 1000 ids since most new NPCs are in that range.

Brian [85088] 16 Oct 2021, 16:42 TCT · #28

ID 23 has zero life and yet isn't in the hospital. If you try to attack them it says they are unconscious, yet they are "okay".

Sounds like a zombie to me. Maybe using the 9999 treats will activate torn of the dead!

CRLF [2095076] 16 Oct 2021, 16:43 TCT · #29

It was an available ID slot.

As you can see below, there are real players, NPCs, and empty slots all mixed together in a sequential list of IDs.

Seems they've disabled it then... I'm sure if someone organised a group attack before ched knew that we knew about it, we would be able to pull one off haha

CRLF [2095076] 16 Oct 2021, 16:53 TCT · #31 · edited

That was a very quick action on the part of the devs. I didn't do any damage at all, so I did not hosp them.

Honestly, getting a sneak preview just makes me want to unlock it even more. But at 10K treats, it's going to be a long time coming.

There should definitely be an honor bar for summoning Cthulhu, I can't see too many people reaching that achievement.

sugarvalves [1963573] Committee Committee 16 Oct 2021, 17:04 TCT · #32

I'll be posting an article on Trick or Treat next week and I can include some info on who has the most unlocks, who has nabbed the most treats etc. If anyone has any other data-related questions let me know and I'll try to answer them.

However, there will be no comments on anything to do with a creature you may or may be able to unlock, for my own safety. You shouldn't mess with magick. It's dangerous business.

Matchlock [2227514] 16 Oct 2021, 17:11 TCT · #33

Great read. I had mistakenly thought/imagined(??) that unlocking Cthluhu would cause every single treat to vanish and all the trick or treat baskets in Torn resetting.

Is it weird that I also thought, "Hm! This is a great list of NPCs to keep handy for dog tags"

Seems 23 can't be attacked now

Heasleys4hemp [1468764] Committee Committee 16 Oct 2021, 17:13 TCT · #35

Can you find out if anyone hit a Cat in Hell proc? :) For the 1000 instant treats.

Proxima [1879587] Wiki Editor 16 Oct 2021, 17:15 TCT · #36

I asked for that last year, unfortunately it was deemed impossible to find the correct attack log. Hopefully they'll tie an attack logID to the procs this year.

Twunt [2595578] 16 Oct 2021, 17:15 TCT · #37

Google h.p Lovecraft cat

Hitler was a racist piece of shit that wrote shitty books about racism and killed millions.

Lovecraft was a racist piece of shit that wrote masterpieces about the dark nature of humans and cosmic horrors and killed no one.

Outside of being racists, they are not comparable. Separate the art from the artist. The man is dead and probably in hell. WTF cares about the man anymore.
