[Former Lurker]

So I finally registered on the forums to post this mortem, after lots of dead marines and Cyberdemons in various versions of this fun game. I don't even remember how I found it, only that the first version I played had "advanced" weapons instead of exotics

 52 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 41 of those were killed.
 And 1 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 10 souls destroyed the Mastermind...
 1 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
 6 killed the bitch and survived.
 3 showed that it can outsmart hell itself.

My primary goal for this run was to try the Storm Bolter + Sharp Shooter combo, and finally got the required mod on level 37. After that I pretty much wiped all those VMR packs out before they even saw me - only problem was that it used tons of ammo mostly to knock enemies back.

Anyway, I tried Trigun when I found it, and it seemed weak in comparison :)
GCB in burst mode was perfect however, much less ammo wasted. Also started building for melee thanks to finding a chainsaw, which I mostly used while invulnerable.

Everything went great and I was certain I would finally get 100% on this challenge (on HNTR at least, I'm no Tormuse...).
So on the last level, I see this: @

Bullets didn't seem to have much effect, so I rushed over and double-chainsawed him to death. While I wondered whether I should go down these new stairs, another one spawned - and then a third? Is this "Apostle" named Rodney by any chance?

I was pretty tired by that point and also a bit scared that the game would decide to kill me on the last level, so I finally went down those stairs that hadn't been there before. Which did nothing special and cost me my 100%...

Still some achievement I think, and I got a new medal out of it :)

The *cough* yellow man shouldn't be showing up like that: for some reason he had a non-zero weight. Normally this wouldn't be an issue, but A100 had a small change such that it did. It's tweaked for 0.9.9.6.

So, to perhaps answer any questions you may have, you didn't do anything special for the guy to show up. He's basically the equivalent of a very exceptional bug at the moment.

(on HNTR at least, I'm no Tormuse...)

Wow!  What kind of legacy have I created here?  Even newcomers are praising my name?  :o  How very flattering!  :)

Also, this shows me that I really must try Angel of 100 in the new version!  :D

[Uranium]

Most Apostle kills in any one run?

[2DeviationsOut]

Please, please, please don't fix this bug. I want to find an Apostle!

[Game Hunter]

Annoying of a bug this may be, it probably isn't worth a stealth fix or anything similar. (Even then, everyone who's already downloaded it will still have their original copy.) That said, he's also kind of a pushover as far as super-hard bosses go: I'm going to change-up his AI and stats completely next version so that he'll be a worthy experience when you actually manage to fight him.

Annoying of a bug this may be, it probably isn't worth a stealth fix or anything similar.

I guess so...I just didn't want to ruin the surprise/challenge of somehow finding an Apostle, someday, somehow. (Considering that I have no idea how to find them and want it to stay that way.) Also don't want any 100% Ao100 runs ruined by either running or death...But I guess it's up to the devs.
