Acroyear Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I've not seen the puking guy in Pocket D in some time. He was in one of the club's corner's next to a ramp. Always gave me a chuckle when I saw or heard him (even feeling a bit bad for him too), but where has he gone? Is his appearance random in the club? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemming Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 From Quote Removed the infinitely barfing guy from the redside area in Pocket D who's vomiting sounds made it unpleasant to roleplay in that half of the zone. He's been gently escorted off the premises and delivered to a proper medical facility to receive treatment for over a decade's worth of alcohol poisoning. 6 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El D Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Got beaten to the punch by @lemming, but yeah. Puking Guy's presence made it really unpleasant to RP on the villain side of Pocket D so he got removed from the zone. Global is @El D, Everlasting Player, Recovering Altaholic.

I just kidnapped three Paragon citizens to deliver to Vahzilok for live vivisections. Something Dmitri Krylov anted. I didnt really listen to him, something about diverting attention. anyways, he paid me to do it. Barfing people? You have issues with barfing people?

Luminara Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Common causes of vomiting in adults Gastroenteritis: If you have diarrhoea as well as vomiting, it's likely you have gastroenteritis. This is one of the most common causes of vomiting in adults. It's often caused by: a virus, like norovirus food poisoning caused by bacteria in contaminated food Your immune system will usually fight off the infection after a few days. Pregnancy: Pregnant women often experience nausea and vomiting, particularly during the early stages of pregnancy. This is often called morning sickness but it can happen at any time of the day. Migraines: If you have recurrent episodes of vomiting along with intense, throbbing headaches that last for a few hours to days at a time, you may be experiencing migraines. Pain relief, such as paracetamol and ibuprofen, can sometimes help control the pain. Your GP can prescribe anti-sickness medicine to help prevent vomiting. Labyrinthitis: If you also feel dizzy, or feel like you're spinning (vertigo), you may have an inner ear infection called labyrinthitis. Labyrinthitis will usually improve over a few days. Your GP can prescribe medication to reduce your symptoms if needed. Motion sickness: Nausea and vomiting when travelling could be a sign of motion sickness. You can try: looking at the horizon distracting yourself by listening to music Appendicitis: As well as vomiting, appendicitis can cause severe pain in your abdomen (tummy). You should phone for an ambulance if you experience pain that suddenly becomes worse and spreads across your abdomen. These are signs that you appendix may have burst. If you have appendicitis, you will often need surgery to remove your appendix. After 20 years of heaving, he's probably ready to deliver that crotch goblin. 1 4 Get busy living... or get busy dying.

Sakura Tenshi Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 While I do feel like the guy did add atmosphere to Pocket D, I’m pretty sure his constant presence wasn’t even intended by the live devs as the guy had an absurdly high spawn chance compared to every other non essential NPC and this included the Bartenders! And yes, constant intermittent barfing can be distracting and annoying when you’re trying to RP and not everyone enjoys the blue side bar. Though admittedly these days we have Blackbeard’s for Redside BaRP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh....but do not forget to insist they clean it up and gentrify it. Maybe some new paint to. Anybody? Get these shlubs painting.

Psiphon Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Maybe they should reintroduce him as an interactive NPC that appears occasionally. You can lead him out blueside and point him in the direction of medical facilities or redside, give him a kicking and tell him not to darken the doorstep of PD again. You then get the appropriate badge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redletter Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 A lot of talk about the "pleasantness of RP at the red side bar" To which I reply: WHAT rp at the redside bar? Literally all the villains come over to the blue side bar, with or without barf guy there. HE DIED FOR NOTHING! He doesn't even show up at Paragon Dance Party, the ACTUAL dive bar... 1 3 Resident certified baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acroyear Posted May 1, 2023 Author Share Posted May 1, 2023 So let me get this straight. The Devs removed vomit guy because someone didn't like the fact he was in the nightclub vomiting? Seriously? So everyone who liked the vomiting NPC, who got a chuckle from his presence (when he would spawn), and even to those who used his presence as part of their role-play experience are just kicked to the side? The easiest solution that would have been a good compromise would have been to lower vomit guy's chance to spawn in Pocket D, AND lower the sound effect of the vomiting to within a few feet of him. I cannot believe it would have been that difficult for the Devs to make this kind of adjustment to the character instead of just choosing that some people win and other people lose in this scenario. 3 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
