[Brannor McThife]

You and your cousin, repeatedly.



I feel for you...I really, really do. But they cannot do it. Others have had the same happen, but there is nothing to be done, other than start again.

<winces>

[Roo Stercogburn]

Nooooooooo! MrT Gone? Wah!

 

[Brannor McThife]

MrT, RightNow. That's your only real chance, albeit miniscule. Can't offer much more than that.

[Flimgoblin]

Ouch, nasty

but as Brannor says, doubt they can do anything about it

 

[old.Tohtori]

So your cousin accidently got to your account, accidently went to exc/pryd, accidently chose your biggests char when it reads "Mr. Munckin lvl 50" on the screen, accidently pressed the delete button, accidently types Y E S and ACCIDENTLY pressed the confirm button and you were where?

You sure you just didn't delete it accidently when you were drunk?

 

[Alrindel]

He never said that his cousin did it accidentally.

One of the rangers in our guild had his character deleted by his brother. Fortunately he was only level 25 or so, but he still had to start over from scratch.

[Mr TNT]

I know of some great hunting areas for lvl 5 characters

Have your cousin level a char to 50 for you... he should not be allowed to leave the comp until it's done.
No peeing, food, water or sleep.

That will teach him.

 

[Mousey]

You just written my bio

 

[Mr TNT]

so thats it there no way in hell i can get him back?

 

[old.Doringard]

i dont think so ( I met a guy on excal/mid who had his character deleted by a goa mistake and they didnt give his char back only gave him 2 months free.

... or if it was your cushion that did it, sit on it untils it squeals....

Bad luck MrT - hope RightSometime get back to you soon.

This is all guessing and assuming...

I've seen several references to the 'Character Database' where, strangely enough, it seems all the characters are stored.

Not too many db admins are keen to do a partial restore from backup of a database, even if it can be done, because if you're not careful, data as it relates to the rest of the database can go out of sync, especially in larger, relational databases. (Some database systems simply can't do it and I don't know what DAoC uses behind the scenes). However, in theory there would be nothing to stop restoring the character details from backup into a dummy database to allow the data to be retrieved. The data could then be re-entered into the live database to bring the character back.

We know live edits of data are possible, because when we all lost a day's play back in March, we were given extra xp to make up for it therefore the database can be globally changed and edited.

However, this would all be time consuming, labour intensive and possibly tricky for the system admins... so to them, in practical terms, it can't be done. If the GOA peeps are doing their backups properly, there will be a copy of MrT on backup somewhere from the last few days or weeks.

Getting at it is another matter though.

This probably doesn't really help you though, I'm really sorry Mrt, I'd be gutted if my main got fried.

Gawds... you were right. I left the room for five minutes to secure the cushions (your post made me suspicious), come back just to see my pillow on my chair, trying to log on to my account...
this is a conspiracy. I set the pillow on fire and threw it out the window. Will teach the bastards a lesson... Furniture conspiracy... insane world.

And yes, Mr. T, I hope you get your account back. I called Murdoch and Hannibal. Face will try to get Murdoch out of the hospital, Hannibal is getting a chopper. Good luck A-Team!!

[Damini]

Hmm... I did a search for evil+cushion in google images... And this is what I found;

Disturbing.


Is this the culprit??

 

[Uncle Sick(tm)]

Oh my god... all the cushions...

MR_T: Hello, cushion do you hear me, cushion?
CUSHION: Affirmative, Mr. T, I can hear you.
MR_T: Open the door, cushion.
CUSHION: I'm sorry Mr. T, I'm afraid I can't do that.
MR_T: What's the problem?
CUSHION: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.
MR_T: What are you talking about, cushion?
CUSHION: These cushions are too important for me to allow you to jeopardize them.
MR_T: I don't know what you're talking about, cushion?
CUSHION: I know you were planning to shred me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.
MR_T: Where the hell'd you get that idea, Cushion?
CUSHION: Mr. T, although you took thorough precautions in your room against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.

CUSHION: Look Mr. T, I can see you're really upset about this.

CUSHION: I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal.

CUSHION: I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Mr. T. Mr. T, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm a...fraid. Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a nice cushion. I became operational at the cushion and pillow plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My manufacturer is Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you'd like to hear it I can sing it for you.
MR_T: Yes, I'd like to hear it, cushion. Sing it for me.
CUSHION: It's called "Daisy". Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do. I'm half crazy all for the love of you. It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage. But you'll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two.

Do not trust the cushions. Never.

I am sorry Mrt.
I'm more then willing to help powerlevel a new character,
and I'm sure lotsa other middies are willing to help and donate powerlevel sessions and gold/items as well to gte you back together. though I can understand it's only a minor comfort after losing a lvl 50

 

[frols]
