Most embarrassing death?

[stephan]

Close shave from last night. I've got three HC chars in act 1/2 normal but I wanted to try the Corrupted Televalngelist build as an alternative to the Fishy I'm building.

So I'm wandering around killing stuff in the Den of Evil. Seem to be doing OK until I found Corpsefire, so I run away and consider my strategy. Anyway, while I'm doing that and watching Atlantis (I multi-task), I get pounced on by one of the cats. There's no monsters near me and being stupid I neither pause nor TP back to town.

Start playing with the cats during the ad-break and completely forget about the game. Look back over to see my health on 1/5th and dropping fast as Corpsie had decided to walk over to me with a few of his friends.

I shriek, and manage to get out of hit recovery and get back to town. Thanks be to gumby. Never under estimate player stupidity or memory loss. Corevive killed by cat .... not a good ring

Cats are the reason I stopped playing HC.

i just found my first soj ever on HC and did a 109 bloody run where some warrior pressed the hostile button. All left except me. I wanted to check my power.
So was running/teleporting to him and somehow i made a mistake not casting any spell, and 1 hit byebye soj

And ive seen couple times that a player killed himself.
