Looked it up:

adj-
1) Having unending existance; deathless

2) Lasting or enduring forever.

n-
1) A person considered worthy of immortality.

2) In mythology; a God.

Interesting

Godly? Being shot with the Sulukra Bow isn't godly, though its close.

The Sulukra Bow III comes with scrap metal that is doused in holy water. Bound to burn any Vampire, and the scrap metal is also shaped like a stake to stake those unruly vampires.

Plus, immortal is more cant be killed through aging more then invincible, which is can't be killed by stabbing.

someonesomewhere · #85 05-03-2006, 05:53 AM

Stop with the DIfferent Bows, please, I made up the Cor bow, and everyone copied me to hell :[

jaws908 · #86 05-03-2006, 05:12 PM

lol xD, and I agree immortal is more about everlasting life, cant die of age or sickness(I assume) however a knife to the throat'll do ya good

on another note, i bet at 1 mil exp the rank is called "god" or something =P

Quoted so you actually read it.

jaws908 · #88 05-03-2006, 08:05 PM

I read it, but an immortal ussually has some weakness that makes it vulnarable

MrsMastermind · #89 05-03-2006, 09:10 PM

Anyone ever see the show Highlander? They are immortal, but they can die if they get their heads cut off.

Then get this around your head!
If that is so...IT'S NOT IMMORTAL! 0MG 0RLY?!

-_-" Were they mortal? No. What where they then?

someonesomewhere · #93 05-04-2006, 01:26 AM

Not immortal.

Mortal means your life is capable of ending in some way, shape, or form.

Immortal means that it will be remembered forever, will always live, can't be killed; sort of like my sarcasm.

It was, like, a second grade vocabulary term

Deophite18 · #94 05-04-2006, 01:26 AM

Maybe "Demigod" would be a more suitable term. They have some qualities of god's but also qualities of mortals. And can be killed.

More than one definition. Mortal: Of or relating to humankind; human: the mortal limits of understanding.

icemaster · #96 05-04-2006, 03:08 AM

to be honest...i think any rank in zone...if given the name "god" will effect it immensely....poorly....

not an insult, just my opinion....though demigod said another way might be better :O

Sulukra · #97 05-04-2006, 03:14 AM

Guys, as much as I hate to say this, being immortal on Zone doesn't stop you from either:
A. Stepping on mines and dying or
B. Getting pipebombed by newbs.

Anyone who thought that it did, it doesn't. It doesn't really mean anything, other then that you've probably been playing longer then all of us or you just kill alot of people.

P.S. Touya has 666 posts! ZOMG!

Jeez thanks for clearing that up, i dont think anyone here knew that stepping on mines or being hit by a pipebomb would kill you no matter what rank you are. I dont think you understand. The argument here is the meaning of the word immortal and how it applies to Zone. Obviously we all know that if you are given the rank immortal you wont be invincible on zone...no one ever said that. People are just saying that its dumb to have a rank that by some definitions could mean "invincible" when on zone you clearly wont be invincible when given that rank.

anubis_wing · #99 05-04-2006, 04:22 AM

How's about Supreme Legend

someonesomewhere · #**100** 05-04-2006, 04:44 AM

How's about no, because I don't like it when people say "How's about."

Haha just kidding, but I'd rather something like what Deophite said, DemiGod.

Dude, it's a war server.
Demigod: Go get them soldier! Do it for your country!
Soldier: YES DEMIGOD/IMMORTAL!

This isn't GK guys. A legend is a legend, and do not suggest Myth... A myth is a story that may be true or not, not a rank in war.

bam

on any note though, in my opinion legends are made of today from the past

like an ex football player or warrior

thats y i hate ppl who carry the title "legend" in them, a HUGE reason i refused to join zone legends...and ne guild with the name legend as a rank =/

just statin that though

Huwajux · #**103** 05-04-2006, 08:36 PM

A legend can mean two things.

-Something that will go down in history, whether it still exists or not.
-A different form of a myth.

anubis_wing · #**104** 05-04-2006, 10:08 PM

What about Hero, or War Hero.

Sulukra · #**105** 05-04-2006, 10:35 PM

Hero or War Hero is a much better then Demi-God, or Immortal or anything. And some people really need to learn how to take a joke, as bad as it is. So yeah, I support Hero.

icemaster · #**106** 05-05-2006, 02:34 AM

i like Hero, its short, plain, but very distinct

(i was thinkin of another word but couldnt think of it XD)

someonesomewhere · #**107** 05-05-2006, 03:16 AM

Hero or War Hero is fine.

icemaster · #**108** 05-05-2006, 04:00 AM

isnt there a certain name for war hero? tryin to think of it....

Raeiphon · #**109** 05-05-2006, 04:25 AM

Invincible in a skill perspective, yes. Someone playing for that long would indeed be invincible, or extremely hard to kill. Having a few special weapons just for this rank would be a reward for playing so long.

Tyedye shoes, an afro, and a little dancing cymbal monkey on my shoulder. Is it so much to ask?

not necessarily

oddly enough, the longer u play the worse u get....ive gotten worse over time, so has stormy last i vsd him (even tho he quit) ixi has gotten worse, he even admitted that, then he quit (keyword then) and several others

the idea IS u would be really hard to kill, but its just not in the cards

Flowing out of your mouth is utter bullcrap. You just said that the more you play the worse you get, find any random idiot that's been playing for half an hour, pit him against some of us that have been playing 8-10 months. Who do you think the winner will be?

Raeiphon · #**113** 05-05-2006, 07:21 AM

The reason you feel you get worse is that others develop strategies of their own, and become harder to beat. So the people you were killing 8-10 months ago were complete newbs, now they're fairly good so they're harder to beat.

I see this skill increase of other plays unto a certain point kind of like leveling you character on other games. You start off really bad, but gaining levels (skill) is easy, but once you reach a certain point it takes alot more experience to gain another. What I've seen is they do increase alot, but you're still better than them by a fair margin. Those that practice alot or have great natural talent will soon surpass the ones above them.

Huwajux · #**115** 05-05-2006, 05:48 PM

War Hero sounds nice.

icemaster · #**117** 05-05-2006, 11:27 PM

jar, what i meant was i played for some time...i killed tao the 1st week i played

that should be sufficient evidence =/

and when i killed silos...then firebox....stormy

workin my way up through people

wat im basically sayin is

at the start, u suck or have a natural talent, then u become better after some time, however even more after that time ur skill goes down and people learn ur styles

i 4get y is was mentioned, but i like hero/war hero

Dude stop it. You don't know what your talking about.

If Stefan doesn't see this thread beforehand, I'll tell him about the new rank.

anubis_wing · #**119** 05-06-2006, 03:22 PM

Most likely Vulcan has already seen this thread and has informed stefan on another server or by other means.
