Of course we've all read the main post, but it doesn't answer much besides which blend of crazy I need to act out and for how long.

What about questions like "How did they manage to take a step back by making a self-curing plague" or "Why bomb a plagued city a second time" I don't even understand this anymore, for a server that enforcers lore and such everyome seems lax for this event, Mu got turned on for asking a question that was rather common on this server "Logic to this fantasy" why did the rules suddenly change?

I don't know, I'm just stepping away before somebody decides to fire at me.

What would the Symptoms be to Undead, since they don't have a real.. Well they have no working Organs, they have no blood. How could they be infected? I mean Saronite cannot completely effect an undead, so In a way you are saying that you created a magical plague that can effect those that are dead.

Aw so just after Hektor dies it becomes self curing...But he went the way I would have wanted. Mauled by a Primal...Anyway...

How does an undead even get an 'open wound'?

[Delta]

Just out of curiosity, if one were to be infected with the initial disease but not the second wave, would symptoms persist?

I don't really have time to type out a full explanation (Leaving in just a bit), but basically the plague has shifted to a more magical variant. While it has the same effects as before on the living, undead are impacted more by hallucinations.

Its also become a much more fast-acting solution due to the improved magical side, but like a spell its fading more than a real disease would, and faster. So its traded off positives for negatives and all.

# Forsaken and other Undead, such as Death Knights and Ghouls, are completely immune to the disease and its effects.

# An open wound has a one-in-ten percent of becoming infected. It is best to /roll 5 when you suffer a wound in combat. If you roll a one you will become infected.

Are undead immune or not?

And, I believe the latter is a typo as well. A one in five percent chance now, if I'm correct.

It is, in my honest opinion, just not possible for an undead to be affected by plague. Logic says no, and so does, I think, lore. Go ahead and flame me for thinking different, and rationally. I don't care. But it shouldn't affect Undead at all.

[Wuvvums]

As mentioned this new strain is magical, not entirely biological. I'm guessing it's effecting undead in the same vein that spells can.

Look, here's the thing.

Undead do not bleed. They almost constantly have 'open wounds'. It's not as though their body would be able to move a virus around via blood flow, because there simply isn't one. How would the virus even get into them? Perhaps they could become carriers, but I doubt they could -ever- be changed by the infection unless an entirely different virus were created. It effects people when they 'open up'. Undead can not 'open up', in all technical terms, because they're dead.

^ The point I've been trying to get across the whole time.

I was just assuming from Rigley's post that its become something of a hybrid between what it once was (purely a disease) and an actual spell. Spells and magic work fine on Undead.

[ but basically the plague has shifted to a more magical variant. While it has the same effects as before on the living, undead are impacted more by hallucinations.

And there you go. Undead are impacted more by hallucinations. Its shifted to a more magical variant.

I suppose (and I'm just assuming) its like a fantasy-style evolution of a disease. Only its simply more arcane (or fel, shadow, whatever) and less of an actual bacterial/viral thing. Of course, since things other than hallucinations effect living people you could probably bet that the viral/bacterial part of this still exists. That's one way to logic it.

You are right. It does not make sense. It is wholly illogical and strange. Therefore, its very very interesting in an IC sense. The undead may panic, having never had to worry about disease since their undeath began, and sciencey types will be baffled, trying to find some explanation for this disease that by some miracle, can affect the undead.

Anyway. We already do have bacteria that can affect the dead in real life. Hence decomposition. Except this disease doesn't decompose, it might just addle your undead brains.

People need to stop arguing the logic in a world filled with the living dead, people who can shoot magic out of their fingers, and store 16 horses in a backpack. It can affect the undead, because the person running this event say's it can. If you want to IC debate and try and find reasons how this could ever be possible, feel free, but there is no reason to go on about it being illogical OOC.

Not directed at anyone in particular, I just think arguing the logic of these things OOC does not help.

PS. *rolls a death knight, and casts blood plague on an undead.* *flees*

Miah the only reason I'm annoyed is people ALWAYS argued about this...just because it's all fun for them and they get rp they suddenly become hypocritical and drop the argument stance.

This.

Or, y'know. Things have been solved? I know I had issues with things, but stuff got settled. Why should I keep arguing when things have been solved? That's a waste of time. For me anyway, I don't know about other people.
