Sometimes, you actually want to go back to the Null. Walking back there is often long and boring so you do the next best thing: charge into a pack of Animated. Suppressed as a CL1.0 if you're particularly hasty. I personally perform this ritual quite often and came to the perfectly logical conclusion of "Lets make a "feature" out of this".
Simple, hidden in the bottom right Menu is a convenient "Back to Null" function. Upon its activation, a quick animation plays out, you are Dazed, and automatically sent back to the Null. No opportunity for a Defib/Revive, and no clicking of an "Undaze" button. Short. Fast. And silly.
Here's the fun part: the animation, meant to "justify" your sudden dazing, is randomly chosen amidst a series of area themed animations. This is meant to strengthen the character/individuality/identity of each area a little further. And make it more interesting.
Examples:
Gold Beach:
-Sunday Seabird Special: right on the head. At least you weren't looking up.
-A beach ball knocks you out. You should eat more of... everything , really.
-Landshark. nuff'. He enjoys sacrifices.
Otami Aqueduc:
-Small nuke from orbit blows you to smithereens.
-A KillSat laser pinpoints your location. Hilarity ensues.
-A satellite crashes right unto you. Or a comet. I'm not picky.
Bill's Ranch:
-You are abducted by unknown aliens. Probing will shortly follow.
-A bull out O'nowhere charges you. Only works if you happen to be wearing some amount of red.
-A formerly abducted cow falls on your head. Wear Tinfoil for protection.
Otami could get various form of elaborate traps, be it the simple pit or classic rolling boulder.
DMP would feature rockslides, lightning, unexplained rift to a hellish place.
You get the point. This but a few of the many possibilities. Most would likely end up being variations on something falling on your head, thought. And I would expect cartoon classics (anvil, piano) to eventually be included where appropriate. If you have any of your own, share! ^^
MAJOR waste of our beloved Dev precious time and various resources? Undeniable.
The kind of humor I would expect from Gaia and, by extension, zOMG? Indeed.
Won't quite fit within the Story? Effectively. I'm sure they could twist it in. Not that they need to.
As close to pointless as you can be? Not at all. Fun is serious business.
I should of have had written down all the other questions I knew would pop-up but can't quite recall now which is sad for my plan was to make it all really funny? Yep.
Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions? While a serious suggestion, it is more for fun than anything. This place needs to sheer up a bit. 'cause sheer is more entertaining than repeated questions.
I truthfully would be very happy to see it happen, thought. >.>
We can't quite die, so it's not quite a "suicide" >.>
