Hey you bunch of legends!

Attached is a background from the main cemetery located in the wondrous world of Quest for Infamy.

Your job is to come up with some funny gravestones and we'll put the best ones in the game! Simple hey?

Here lies Steven. "I told you it wasn't a rash!"

So get your creative juices going!

This is a bit of a cop-out on my part, since it's going on my tombstone in Hero-U (SPOILER ALERT), but here it is:

"I just don't know what went wrong."

One of the best joke headstones I remember seeing was in Red Dead Redemption, it went something like:

Here Lies
Bill Smith
18xx - 18xx
His memory and syphilis will live on forever.

I like this one:


Here lies Bill
The father of 9
He woulda had more
But didn't have time


Or:

Here lies mean old Edith McLane
Was buried alive, whoops what a shame.

One I always enjoyed was:

"OK, you can let me out now"

and you could go for a great reference

"Here lies Dave Lister"
"Died 181"
"Choking to death while trying to remove a bra off with his teeth"

You're now my favorite poster.

"Here lies
Ezekial Aikle
Age 102
The Good
Die Young "

"Here I sit, broken-hearted, came to shit, instead I died."

No, no, no.  End it "instead I crapped out."

Departed? The "instead I crapped out" line could be Roehm's reply.

Here lies John,
Who liked his ladies, liked his fun.
Until he finally met the one,
Who's husband he couldn't outrun.

My lady love is fond of writing these, and whipped up a few to make me laugh.  I thought I'd share them here:


Here lies the best tinker I've ever kno


Beneath this stone lie May and June.
Some say they died much too soon.
In life they were sisters known to all.
Taken from us with one great fall.



Here lies Mr. Ringer.
We can't be sure which one.



Let it be written upon this stone,
for the whole of the world to bear witness
to the memory and legacy
of one truly gentle and loving spirit.
Ripped from the earth and torn asunder
by an all-consuming wasting,
for which we had no combat,
a fine woman has been taken from us
and we will mourn her loss, deeply.

TL; DR - Mary is dead.

Alas poor Max
He met his fate
Engaging a barbarian in debate
The barbarian you see had a point
That left Max in a state of disjoint
For the point was on the head of his axe

Alas poor Nate
Learned a little too late
Saying saddle up to a Centaur
Thats a thing you never oughter


not intending to spam, but I keep thinking of more.

Poor Niels fell afowl of a faulty portal
Rather ironic this would be
Because if only the good die young then you see.
He should have been immortal

ok I may have been a vogon in a past life

I can probably do worse, I'm almost curious what is the worst you've read but I'm not sure I want to know
and as for more, just remember you encouraged me Mwah ha ha ha.

Lee Fay
Went out on a limb
Which unfortunatly was not as strong as him

The mighty Overlord Jasper
Its sad to say that while caught in manical laughter
Chocked on a fly which lead to disaster.

Peter Shady regrets swimming with the lake lady.

'Captain Jack Baitman - Suspiciously found dead in fountain'. You can't kelp using this oppor-tuna-ty to reflect on life. There's something fishy about this death. At least his head didn't end up on a pike.

'Captain Jack Baitman - Slipped and drowned in the fountain'. You can't kelp using this oppor-tuna-ty to think of fish puns.

Sailor Skate Fisher
Loved to talk just for the hallibut
But alas carped on too long
And then died of a cod

Here lies Andy, a mime quite handy
Had some trouble with a clown
Got so bad they gunned him down

Such a shame really, a mime is a terible thing to waste

(mostly just wanted to have the mime line there somewhere)

And the game is OVER!

Thanks to everyone who posted some great tombstones! I've gone through and added some of them into the game, I'd tell you which ones but it'll be more fun for you to click on every tombstone in the game when you get it and see which one is yours!

Thanks for playing!

Shawn
