Madacaek: I contest the Cut Listing. There is no such thing as too general and integral. The article is not very good so far, but it can be improved.

SAMAS: Exactly. We would be remiss if we didn't have this.

Pteryx: Agreed, this does not belong on the Cut List. A rewrite? Yes. A nuking? Heck no.

Anonymous Mc Cartneyfan: tried to fix the article. Please keep it—as noted, the more integral it is, the more it needs to stick around.

Moving this here, because it's not an event flag, but rather a very simple status effect. Event flags are things that cause the story to progress (or not progress, at the case may be). — Spark9

  • The most notorious event flag ever comes from the early days of Ultima Online — Lord British (played, at that time, by Richard 'Lord British' Garriot), was standing on an in-game bridge talking to the citizens of Brittaniam, when player-character Raine stole a scroll from the person in front of him and cast it on Lord British. While British is normally unkillable, a server crash the previous night had improperly reset that flag, and Lord British was killed by the scroll in front of dozens of witnesses. Raine was subsequently banned from the game for exploiting programming bugs, but the event and its results were covered by PC Gamer for months afterward.


J Bridge: We need a quote from Konata at the top of the page. It's just too perfect.
