[Nameless]

I think it just means you were shot by an enemy that was outside of your line of sight.

[Deathwind]

There was nothing else there to shoot at me.

[mcz117chief]

If you get killed by an exploding barrel, what does it say ?

[Deathwind]

It claims whatever set off the barrel is what killed you

[mcz117chief]

Wow, the last sentence makes little sense lol :D

The former sergeant misses you. The imp fires! The missile hits the former
 sergeant. The imp dies. The former sergeant dies. You die!...

So, they like killed eachother, or what happened ?

[Deathwind]

there was only one of each in the room...

I have no idea what happened, I was just trying to kill that %#*$ing sargent

[Tavana]

Here's what I read: Imp fires, hits former sergeant, kills itself with the explosion. The explosion also kills the sergeant. The explosion also kills you. In that order.

So the game then goes, alright, you're dead. What killed you? Umm...well, it appears to be the blast of...something that doesn't exist anymore. So...yeah.

The other time I've seen this message is when something teleports onto your square and kills you.

[ParaSait]

It claims whatever set off the barrel is what killed you

Hmm... wasn't that counted as a stupid suicide?

[raekuul]

Only when it's your attack.

[Deathwind]

I gotten this quite a bit...
