Combat Messages
  • Regular messages:
    • <name> writes the lyrics to a sad, sad song on the ground with his ink. Your opponent reads it and gets depressed.
    • <name> wraps your opponent up in his tentacles, preventing him from attacking you. He also mentions some band you've never heard of, and that he himself probably doesn't even listen to.
    • <name> wraps his tentacles around your opponent and begins weeping, preventing him from attacking.
    • <name> whines to your opponent about his ex-girlfriend, depressing him... Sigh.
<name> asks your opponent if he can bum some Meat.
<name> stands in front of the maypole absolutely motionless, then cries some silent tears. I guess that's how Emo Squids dance.
<name> smiles brightly with his wax lips, but the pain inside still seethes and burns. <name> begins to sob.

  • "Emo Squid" is a play on the term "Emo Kid", used to describe a fashion or subculture which is usually defined to have roots in punk fashion and subculture, as well as some attributes of gothic fashion and subculture.
  • All combat messages parody the stereotypical behavior and lifestyle elements of this subculture.
  • The emo squid could also be a reference to Back to Reality, a Red Dwarf episode featuring the Despair Squid, which kills people by squirting its ink on them, causing them to become suicidally depressed.
