typing jump at 3am with blurry eyes to jump over a sword lying on the ground and abbreviating the command while carrying a VERY expensive sword.
Desert Elf Warrior, with master (at the time) parry, roaming around the grasslands. Can't find the ATV camp in the dark, so I keep looking around. Wind up in a room with a cilops, and am under attack. Inix catches the combat, joins in.
I kill the cilops, -and- the inix, in a blinding sandstorm, at night.
But I'm poisoned. At the time, I didn't understand the poison and cures in the game, and had no idea what to do to cure myself.
Logged in on a night where I had no time to log in, had no reason to be logging in IRL or IC.
If you got hit by a cilops as a d-elf warrior, you didn't have parry mastered, broheim.
Oh, yeah...beyond my previously-mentioned escapades...I vaguely recall power-emoting urinating on a Tuluki noble one time, but I was pretty drunk, so I'm not sure if I actually did it, or if I dreamed it.

I did, sir, when I had multiple opponents, and was unable to see (even though <CERTAIN SKILL> helped)
Only takes one hit.
So far, the only truly dumb thing I've done was not ask someone who knew the city better to show me how to get to the salt flats. I wandered away on my own and wound up in a seedy part of 'Nak and got stabbed to death v.v;
I don't know, I figured this game out pretty quick ...
Hitting 'enter portal' twice?
I thought of something. Referencing stars and moving water, and other alien concepts by habit of conversation. Using words that are contrived, by context. Uhh, going in that dark place. :)

Moving water isn't too alien a concept now... :p
One of my dumbest things... making a comment about a noble being mad because I had more sid than he did...in front of the noble..and witnesses..with nowhere to run.

It's a toss up between that, and typing junk (fancy emote) [fancy emote follow up], and then forgetting to add the keyword of the thing I was junking, and junking something important instead.
Trying to make a comeback to the game, so I guess I'll start by posting in a new thread.
Back in the day, one of my earliest characters was a human, Allanaki commoner by the name of Marok-Tor. You'd think the staff would have mentioned something about my choice of name, (despite the hyphenation) or at least flat out rejected my submission, but things were different then. I think the Blackwings were off riding kanks somewhere. So when a Templar approached me and I announced myself, it went something like this:
The haughty, badass Templar says, in sirihish:
"Present yourself, citizen."
Bowing, you say to the haughty, badass Templar, in sirihish:
"Marok-Tor, my lord."
The haughty, badass Templar says, in sirihish:
"Tor? Where is your signet ring?"
You say to the haughty, badass Templar, in sirihish:
"Uh... what?"
The haughty, badass Templar shouts, in sirihish:
"Imposter!"
The haughty, badass Templar [casts a terrifying spell].
Basically, things went awry. I poured over the documentation in those early days, but I guess I missed that bit about House Tor.
nooblar'd ftl
On my first PC, I'd offer people sitting around the Gaj jobs. I told them they'd have to come meet my boss first in the Rinth, at which point I'd lead them to a very public tavern and kill them.
I don't know how that never caught up to me.
Wore a dead Kuraci's cloak to the outpost. ( I didn't realize) I had to check it'd been a year. Oddly, I did survive it.
I started as a rinthi back when I was newb enough not to know how to change language, or knew that the rinth was divided into westside and eastside. Back then, docs didn't mention that westside or eastside existed, much less that you shouldn't go out of your side. i was an elf and they start out speaking allundean, so i'm sitting in a westside bar and this guy comes in and we start talking, except i pretend not to speak sirihish because i don't know the command. he tells me to follow him or get killed, and i know he's gonna freakin' cut my head off, but i do what he says anyway. he shuts the door in an abandoned building and starts cutting me up with a butcher knife. so many potential escape openings, and if i were in that role today, i might have been able to escape and would definitely have managed to at least get out of his sight. i mean, it was a really long walk, and i could have run away at any time. it was like austin powers driving a tractor and the guy screaming for five minutes before being rolled over.
not sure if it's that one, or the one where i looked north in the grey forest, and saw a pile of garbage for the first time. and went towards it to look at it. then i'm like, kryl? wow. second impression: kryl?!!! mantis head.
Well, I once applied for a Borsail Mul. I didn't know there were no Borsails around to sell me. I spawned in the Tavern, got set up by an immortal. First PC to run into me was a templar. They asked me some questions and then took me to sit at the entrance of the Borsail Estates. He mentioned that he hasn't seen any public Borsail for a while. I sat there for a long time, and then stored. Since now, not only could I not get out of the nobles quarter, there weren't any Borsail PCs around at the time.
Tied between that and when I was a D-elf. She was pretty prominent. Well, I was at the very beginning of a long series of events in the scheme of the world that I can't name. Well, the bad thing wanted to speak to me (An Imm, I'm guessing). I ran from the SLK camp down there and after I got there, another IMM informed me the 1.Imm could not make it. So I started to run back. I ran into a Dujat (Which I could kill pretty easily at the time), it f'ed me up with a vengeance. I got it down to near death with a quicker time, but then it turned into the terminator and went on the war path. I had pretty good flee, I fled n, but ran south, into a hole.
After a tense minute, you can guess what came down after me and what happened after that.
I tried to climb down a certain poop chute in Tuluk. I don't know what I expected to find down there besides more poop ... I couldn't get back up :-\
I backstabbed a salt worm and expected a half-dozen Bynners who hated me to come to my rescue.
I fell down a mineshaft with my kank. Because I didn't read room descriptions. Nearly starved down there.
I also 'accidentally' walked into a certain tower because the door was open for some reason. A staff member animated some NPC, chased me out and told me the gate should have been closed.

i cried in a bar one time. there were two pcs there. i never cried in the game again.
Byn sponsored role post in Staff Announcements reminded me of this, I've totally kicked someone as a Byn sergeant in an attempt to boot them from the clan.

He did.
With Mortal-Slayer.
The Byn was apparently severely lacking in PC leadership, or the immortals felt sorry for a newbie, but I had wished up because I was looking for a Byn Sergeant.
So I'm getting recruited, and all of a sudden the Sergeant kicked me, and was killed by guards. My PC looted the corpse, obviously, and ran off. Then all of a sudden I was in a naughty room with the Shade of Nessalin telling me I was very naughty and should junk everything I took.
It may have been about ten years ago, but I think first impressions count.
It's hard to choose just one. Take your pick.
- Grabbed a shield while unarmed fighting a mek
- Pissed off a Gypsy noble from Tuluk, as a Nakki, with a dragon tattoo on his face
- Tried to assassinate a Red Robe, with the help of an elkran elf
- Tried to kill a snake with a 35 day merchant noble gone renegade with only 10 stun left.

I survived with something like 10hp, my pc was capable of quite a few ridiculous things but in my panic something not all that scary nearly killed him. Think I've posted this before.
One time I didn't realize I was actually sneaking in the wilderness past things that would like to facestomp me--but I didn't realize about the facestomp potential, because most things that wanted to facestomp me would actually attack me because I wasn't really sneaking, therefore giving me some warning. Anyway, I was boppin' along when I entered a dark cave. And then I pulled my torch out to see what was in the cave. And then a big bad stomped my face into the torch. But it was cool because I fled out, and was trying to sneak back home to lick my wounds and pout. But I was apparently only good at sneak on the way in. ::)
Once I had hired a body guard (another's pc) dwarf, for my breed weapons crafter, and we traveled the north road a lot (a few years back RL). Came upon a dead carru in the road and though, -hellz yea-, free carru. Well my pc cut it up rather good, and at the time I didn't give any thought to the weight limits, nor to how freak'n heavy somethings can be, so I mis type put all bag and pack an empty bag. I then mis type mount and walk my mount south, the guard following me, and BAM a carru respawns and charges.
The guard leaps between and I freak out and head south, only having seen the carru and not the guard doing his job protecting me.
I look north and see the dwarf in mortal combat (keep in mind, we both are rather young in the characters lives) and I get all concerned for my guard and run back, super heavy, I think the message was, the weight of the known rests in your inventory.
So here I am charging back to help my guard and he drops dead (or so I thought) and I rush to draw the carru's attention and get spam bashed for four leagues. No kidding, literally. It was breed bowling for the carru league that night. Come to find out I run into the dwarf in the tavern with a new character, listening to him talking about how he was good at his job so long as who he protects doesn't try to rush back in when he's giving up his life for them. Come to find out he went negative, but came back because my pc was so kind as to draw the carru leagues away.
Way back in the day it used to be that when they threw you in jail your "wanted" status went away...
So I would just sneak into the templar quarters and steal the key from the jail-guard, open the door and left my friends out!
Yeah that doesn't work anymore... (smirks)
i'm still very much a newb when it comes to city deaths. i'm glad i can't talk about them.

Besides totally forgetting I was in a tavern and then standing up and casting a spell (thinking I was in my apartment), I'd say one of my dumbest moments was when one of my PCs back in 2000 or so tried to shit on a Byn Lieutenent in the middle of the Gaj. That didn't go over well.

Stumbled upon a web-covered cave in the desert.. Spiders are a bitch
Had a pretty tough dwarven guard for... was it Oash? Some years ago... ended up killing some roguish elven trader dude in the House compound when my noble boss gave the go ahead. I stupidly drank from one of the waterskins I found on his corpse. I guess I was sort of not worried, partially because of dwarven resistence to poison - which doesn't always seem to work out too well. Poor dwarf puked and croaked... I think I found a tablet on the corpse also, but I couldn't get it to work for some reason. I can't remember if I was doing the wrong syntax or there was a bug or what... "eat tablet"... "Your stomach refuses to eat that!" I don't remember if I tried swallow or not. Heh.

There's a hint in the helpfiles. Cool death, though, you didn't waste water. ;)
Actually Kismatic.
There was a time when you could not eat a cure if you were full or in the case of that poison.
It has since been fixed.
deciding with a 60-day warrior PC who happened to be carrying a bag of heavy shit around that I totally forgot about "oh what's that a kryl disturbing the road i got this i've killed like a bazillion kryl' and decidedly getting spam-acided in the face like a little bitch and passing out and because poison code is wonky still fighting back at -9HP when a grazing hit to the arm killed me.
i didn't feel like getting my mount out of the stables at the time so i decided "i'll just walk derpyderpyderp"
Very nearly losing a 40 day ranger to a gortok.
The fight with it got me down to like 15 HP before I finally killed it and the whole time I was thinking "WOW THIS IS A CRAZY STRONG GORTOK!!!!
Yeah ... or ... I forgot all I was wielding was an arrow.
I've done a lot of stupid things, but many of those stupid things were awesome, especially when I was playing Raul. Here's one:
There was a newish templar that didn't seem to hate Raul, so the mustachioed lieutenant resolved to do a good job for that guy at the earliest opportunity. Well, the templar had a job that only the Byn was retarded enough to attempt: taming a tarantula for use as a mount. The pay was going to be decent, and it was something new, so what the hey...
So there we are, fist-fighting tarantulas. We finally got one knocked out and then I ordered a runner -- our lone ranger -- to straddle the thing. Then I got my smelling salts out...
I spent a lot of time laughing at the keyboard playing that dude. ;D
As for legitimately stupid player-error things? I know I got some... but I can't remember at the moment. :( Just a lot of really dumb IC things.
LOL I remember taming tarantulas as a mount with my lone ranger using the less sophisticated method of scan, sneak, hide, and ride!
I still chuckle thinking about how that must have looked IC. :D
Heh, Raul was cool. I think I still recall how he died.
Near 20 years ago when first learning the game, I was just getting into the role play thing online. I was all of around 14 years old at the time when I first started playing Armageddon. Decided to give a 'rough and tumble' sort a try. Rolled up a warrior. Got caught walking around the city with my weapons out (wasn't new to muds, used to play a hack and slash where that sort of thing didn't matter whatsoever) by a PC 'nakki Templar. Not even fully understanding what Templars were, I barreled along with my 'rough and tumble' sort. Words such as 'bastard' and 'ass' were casually tossed out at said Templar. Hilarity followed (at least, for the Templar and the small crowd watching, not so much for my character).
Trusting that people won't run to their buddies on AIM for a quick rescue while I give a final speech :(
em half-bows to the silvery, whip-wielding noblewoman.
The plot that resulted out of it was quite cool, but I don't think I'm ever going to live that failed bit of emotive artistic license down.

That's excellent, actually. Play the character, not the game. That's the least dumb thing I've read in here.
The hilarity of some templar confrontations reminds me of a few times where I've played pretty wild rebel characters that didn't give up to the law in any city-state, no matter what. There were times where I ran around the city trying to get away from templars and soldiers, killing a few here and there. Skulking from street to street with a militia cloak or templar robe on or something, trying to use it as a disguise. At times I made it to the stables and galloped my kanks arse off running out the gates... too many other times I got ganked. ;)
I remember one time some templar walked into Flint's, confronted my Mul and I ran off, some female character following me that I forgot about... so I figured they thought we were both outlaws. Ran around in the southwest part of Tuluk, back then where you could go down one level in the commoners quarter... hiding there, then trying to get out and away in the sand storm and ended up fighting some templars and soldiers in the dark storm... maybe killed a couple soldiers and a templar before finally getting zapped and horribly burned to death by some spell. I was hoping I could make it out of the city during low visibility, but back then the code wasn't quite as realistic.

My first PC was employed to a Rukkian, said Rukkian led my PC to his top secret cave to gather basalt. Not only on the way there did I say "its cold out" in the middle of the zalanthian day, but I also got lost trying to find it again later on and subsequently ran out of stamina, resulting in a quick nap in the middle of the desert.
First to come to memory..
When we were first getting the Soh going and had not yet achieved staff backing or a simple campgrounds,
we were basing at the desert elf outpost.
Well, up-times were long then, our playtimes were high and few got into the Pah without us knowing about it
so we used a table in the tavern as our personal tribe storage.
Like playing Jenga, with every piece of debris/resource/hide you can find in the area..
I think Sanvean is the staff member who whooped us for that one.

It was many years ago, with one of my first characters.
I was a little fuzzy still on the whole OOC/IC separation, Arm was the first RPG I ever played so it was all very, very new. I had heard tons about this harsh Zalanthas place (from 2 friends who had been Armers for years) and decided that I'd give it a go. So, I figured that because I'd heard a lot of the basic stuff about the game I'd be alright to just skim over some documentation, clarify a couple of things with my friends ("So if I need help and can't figure something out...I just type help and then a keyword and I get a help file??" ... I told you, total noob to all things RPG) and get on with it. I didn't really expect my first few characters would do anything at all and I had sort of figured that I'd use them to feel out how these "RPG" game-thingies worked.
My first character died in her first hour. I'd scrolled through the help files seeing all the different commands and skills and 'poke' caught my eye. If I remember correctly, my PC poked an NPC templar, yada yada yada, mantis head.
On my 2nd or 3rd character I was really wanting to be more social and I thought I'd try to contribute something to the conversation around me in the Gaj. So I got some tidbit of info from the *ahem* OOC rumor board and proceeding to start yapping about it. When the person I was talking to asked where I heard such things I told them I READ IT ON THE BOARD OVER THERE. When he questioned this craziness, I STOOD THERE AND POINTED ACROSS THE ROOM TO THE "MESSAGE BOARD" WHERE I "READ IT." To really prove my point, I repeated myself a few times... :-\
So, after everyone in the bar looked at me, absolutely dumbfounded, a templar was summoned and I was dealt with.
Like I said, I was new to RPGs and I was a little fuzzy with the whole OOC/IC separation....
That was my dumbest Southern moment. My dumbest Tuluk moment? I haven't had many PCs up in Tuluk, and one of my first Northies was approved just in time to be able to maybe attend the big poetry recital. I was out of the city trying to kill some little critter when I realized that I wasn't entirely sure -where- to go to get to the recital. In my haste to get back to the city and to the recital, I forgot to sheathe my weapons and ended up racing into the recital with two daggers drawn. Racing into the recital where there was a very large number of Nobles and templars. The bard who was performing at the time stopped mid sentence and the whole room looked at me.
Long story short, they hauled me out of there and brought me to some storage closet somewhere, accused me of being some sort of assassin (I wasn't) and demanded that I tell them who had sent me and which Noble or templar I was there to kill. By the end of it all I was forced to cut off a couple of my own fingers so I'd be unable to wield my murderous weapons.
My murderous crude, shitty daggers. As my character tried to explain, would I have come running right into the middle of the main event with some shitty, chipped daggers if I was there to assassinate somebody?
Of course not.
Did anyone care about my explanation?
Of course not.
:D
I think my dumbest Red Storm moment was walking into an alley thinking it was just another alley, like the ones in 'Nak...Oops.
My dumb Luir's moment was the HRPT. I was out in the wilderness when shit started going down and when darkness fell, I fell into a canyon, dropping my torch on the way. I walked in circles in that pitch-black fucking canyon until I finally wished up (first wish up) for some sort of help. I explained that I wasn't even a noob, just retarded and someone took pity on me and gave me a lantern. I got back to Luir's and had just managed to track down where everyone was gathered when the light returned.
The plus side though is that being stuck in that canyon most likely kept me alive while the world around me fell apart... ;)
Wow, some folks need to take it easy on the noob abuse.
Hm. Dumbest thing I did that I can talk about...Go afk around one of Delerak's characters outside of the walls. Or typing >backstab kite.
Pet a dragon.
Generally being stupid and going off to get myself killed by a random mob when my character is on the cusp of awesome things.
Like this one time Kishime Fale wanted my character to become his personal attendant because of his unique mutation. Or when that awesome hidden mage of mine finally gets found out and I'm about to defect to the bad guys.
Really more depressing than funny, unfortunately.

+1. And I loved that damn char too!
* Are there any other cities out there? I've heard of this place called "All-Neck."
* Found a magicker gem. Put it on. Took it off in crowded southie bar.
* Took valued goods from south to (not so valued) north in hopes of selling them for profit.
* Picked a fight with a mul / old man / child / <insert another NPC in UnderTuluk>
* Starved to death within a few rooms of easily-accessible food.
...
ALL ON THE SAME CHARACTER! (Acrimar)
I once tracked an elf with my newbie ranger all the way from the grasslands to the gates of their big scary camp in the canyons of the Pah with my 4 hours played ranger and sat there waiting for them to come by again so I could demand they give me back the erdlu that they stole.
Although that actually ended up being one of the coolest plot starters I ever got involved in ... just looking back on it though, man that could have so easily gone wrong in several thousand different ways. I was really lucky I walked out of that. With my erdlu!!

I'm pretty sure they substituted a different erdlu for yours.
A weaker one.
And then charged YOU for it!
Let's see...
Found a dead longneck south of the city. Grabbed up his gear to check it out later. Got ganged
by the gate guards for spice. 20 odd day character dead.
Walked past several warnings (too intent on see what was around the corner) and died in silt.
20 odd day (nearly 30) character dead.
more?
Went into a very bad place, holding a torch and a mug. Too much of a hurry.
30 odd day character dead.
Trying to range a certain top-level Elkros nuke spell at mon power with my templar who was at 28 hps, who was like my favorite character ever. Not having a certain other spell on. Thinking said spell would give error message if that was impossible.
Trying to use said spell to save the ass of a templar everyone disliked, but at least I liked the AoD soldiers who were getting gith-raped.
Not knowing code ftl. :(

I remember that! I think there were about three PCs that kept telling you, OOCly, that the board didn't exist. You kept responding to the OOCs with says though, so we knew what was up.
SURE LORD TEMPLAR I'LL HAVE A SEKRIT MEETING WITH YOU IN YOUR SNAZZY APARTMENT ALONE WHILE YOU HAVE GUARDS WITH YOU
WHAT COULD GO WRONG
Around the time when I first started I had a pc who joined (random clan). Noticed that they had a whole lotta nice gear so i took what I could and marched off to the market to sell it all. Kept going back and forth when all of a sudden I noticed that I was in some sort of dungeon being hashed out by the Shade of Nessalin. Worse yet, I tried to rationalize why I was stealing with dozens of npcs and vnpcs in the same room as all that nice gear.
One time I burned down a significant chunk of Red Storm, but I consider that move more awesome than stupid.
One time I was a Corporal in a military clan and I took our only other active guy, a Private who was way leeter than me, out to patrol A Dangerous Area with no backup. He was attacked by a beasty carrying weapons, which I attempted to disarm.
Yeah, I disarmed my clannie, putting us into combat with each other before said monster attacked. Then he got pwnt by the old multiple attackers penalty and I got my ass kicked by the monster, because my buddy had reversed my disarm attempt. A pretty graceless fuckup that killed off my first and favorite long-lived PC.
the most awesome things i've ever done in game are also probably the stupidest.
1. steal a halfling magicker's mount
2. boffing a templar
3. silt skimmers. nuff said.
4. solo hunting the halfling camp in the grey forest
5. joining kurac, being asked for an introduction by the resident lieutenant, introducing myself by way of "I'm ________ , who the fuck are you?"

i think it's been a year but can't be sure to be honest. that guy put me off clans for a long time.

Yeah, he had a kinda "sniff my butt" thing going on. Sorry it ruined your experience. We all laughed at him in the barracks. Come to think of it, though, it's been slightly less than a year, so I shall say no more!
Your PC rocked, though, just so you know.

Thank you! He was one of my favorite characters ever. Of course, he died in the most ignoble manner possible, like most well-loved characters. It was really my fault though: boredom and lack of a place in the world kill me worse than anything else.

I played this loner ranger-ish halfbreed chick named Saba... the hawkish, wiry-framed woman. Was sort of a raider type, got a good deal joining up with Kurac in Red Storm and ended up RP'ing getting kinda drunk and rowdy with some other PC in the Kurac compound there. So we were RP'ing pushing each other around and stuff when I decided to
throw a riding crop at him, which stupidly triggered combat and I got insta-ganked by various Kurac employee NPC's. I asked for a rez, but they said it wasn't a bug so no rez. *shrug* It sucked.
... What is "boffing"?
Kanking.
I think it's been a year, but someone handed one of my characters a certain food and said 'Here, try this! It's really good!' I did, and started barfing all over the place immediately. Survived though, despite my dumbness.
So, 4+ years ago I made a HG Bard up in Tuluk. (Sort of as a big "Fuck you, HG's with their powers of observation/emulation can become quite articulate if properly focused, let alone speak with articles in a sentence.") It was basically my first Tuluki character, but it was a lot of fun. I'd sit on the floor in the tavern and people would sit on my knees as I sang songs about how I'd accidentally wiped my butt with poison ivy, or about picking my nose, or whatever my HG's muse was that day.
So, he ended up in the Legions, and was riding the grasslands one day with some Templar and a Lyksaen. Knowing nothing of Tuluk, I had just the faintest idea what a Lyksaen was, and even less of an idea to recognize nobility amongst them. So, thinking he was just some soldier, I somehow insulted this guys pecker. Or inferred that his inix's junk was inferior to my inix's junk. I cant remember, but he turned out to be a Noble. Someone Way'd me that bit of info, and I apologized. He just laughed and said "It's okay. Few have the balls of a Lyksae!"
Here's the stupid part: I got bored (as I so often did so easily back in those days) and went out alone hunting with a < 3 day half-giant, with no feel for half-giants, no knowledge of the northern lands. So, I died before I could premier the song I'd written as an apology to Lord Lyksae, entitled "Few Have the Balls of a Lyksae."
Yup, my biggest Arm regret was not busting out into a song about how awesome Lyksaen dicks are in the middle of the Sanctuary.

One of my first characters, my kid was fooling around with her sparring spear in the Byn yard. I got frustrated at not being able to
throw without a target. She biffed one in the direction of one of the old has-been NPC's , as a player I thought skills never fire the first time you use then. However running into the workshop and hiding under the bench seemed to get them off me. I snuck back that night and reclaimed the spear, though I think One-eye might have seen me.
This PC died twenty years later, when I'd been reading about the
charge skill on GBD and thought I'd try it out. So charged a carru ahead of the two 40? day tanks with me. And that PC couldn't even pierce its hide! And I forgot to flee...I think I thought we were playing rough circle.
Done dumber things since though.
throw spear gith
I thought "If I tell them they'll kill me" near a mind bender.
I made an enemy of a powerful clan without being in one.
I once tried to hunt a fang with a c-elf out of the city and was only a burglar.

:'( All of my interesting characters were made in the past six months. I can't say for almost a year.
Flew into an alleyway just to look around.
I can't think of much I've done that was truly dumb, other than my very first character trying to walk from Allanak to Tuluk.
I suppose I had a 2-year-old character die because I typed in the wrong spell target keyword during a large battle.
Other than that, most of my big dumb mistakes lead to really fun RP situations.
Haggled with a gypsy.
Dohoho!
My very first character walked out the gates, into one of those tent camps that were sitting around and couldn't get out again. 'Leave' was not on the list of exits back then. I sat around for half an hour trying various things, then thought maybe I would flee outside if I attacked someone ;).
The 1-hour rez period was already over.
There was a time, about ten years ago when me and a couple of my RL friends were all in the computer lab at my school Arming it up.
A desert elf attacks my character and knocks me unconciouss.
My buddies are of course playing with me in game. (We were nooblets, cut us some slack.)
I am shouting in the computer lab, "Subdue me and drag me off! Hurry!"
But they arent. Instead they are laughing. So, I do the only thing left that I can do...
Quoteemote SUBDUE ME AND DRAG ME OFF BEFORE HE FINISHES ME!!!
Yes, it was sad and pathetic and I lost karma at the time for it. A sad, sad, sad, day in the history of my Arming career.
Edited to Add: Years later I now realize my buddies wanted me to die so they could help loot my corpse.
I am also sad to say that around the same time me and the same buddies had a habit of making assassins, plotting against each other all super sekrit like, and killing each other's newbie characters just to get their newbie coins. This would of course make the victim angry out of chracter for days at a time.
I am 99% sure that I.. was that d-elf. lawlz. I distinctly remember something like that.
When I was young and fresh newb, on an old account I can't even remember, I had a character named Nassir in 'Rinth.
This was back when Gin and his crazy crew were calling the shots.
Who refused to cough up protection money?
This guy.
Stole a wagon.
I didn't spam flee. I kept thinkign "it's gotta work this time, I mean, it never fails"
>kill bahamet
Leaving the computer when ARM is running is the worst idea anyone has ever had. Just saying.
Stole a wagon... without a very good plan on what to do after I got away with the wagon.
Also another time...
Stole a wagon with a not so good pilot skill and drove it off the shield wall on accident. (yeah, one of those was from me) Thing is, I got away with it and lived for a while until something completely unrelated killed me.
Years ago, I had a Borsail noble. This was well before the estate was destroyed and all that. He was doing good, but one day, I forgot to have his guard protect him when I went to the Diplomat. I finished role-playing with someone else, and then a 0-day fellow came in and subdued me.
The entire time he was dragging me through the city, I was calling for help, Waying people, etc. I was so surprised, it never occurred to me to just type ... flee. I ended up at the bottom of a well, and the rest is history. At least it gave a lot of people some RP. :)
Another mistake, more recent ... 'ea fruit' when a deep chasm is to your east. That missing t counts for a lot.

The guard/noble quarter thing happened to me once too...but I decided to rp it as an escape. Ended up having my tongue removed for lying to an NPC templar. Was pretty damned awesome.
Stood still trying to figure out if the thing that was pinching me was an echo or a mob... Come to find out my first char should of listened to someone.
kryl equal way to much to handle for newb!
It would take me a day to write all the crap I did and it's not even funny/cool/stupid, it was just plain stupid. Like trying to cut up a mul with my 1 day elven warrior. That was my introduction to muls and why people walk on eggshels around them.

Probably my worst was during a chat with a noble, where I casually mentioned that I was a pickpocket.
The noble was pretty understanding. She decided to 'hire' me as a spy and information seller. She told me to go out, find information, and report back to her. For whatever reason, my 14-year-old newbie self thought she meant, like, RIGHT NOW. So I ran around, desperately looking for 'information'. I came back about 15 RL minutes with the following hot piece of info:

I am almost positive I played that noble. Was it Eodetta Oash?
Here is another one....
When I was a nublet back in the day I decided to start a character out in Luir's. It was the first time I had done such and I had never really interacted with nobles or merchant family members up to this point.
This character might have lived five hours, all of which had been spent walkiing around buying starting gear and sitting in the tavern in Luir's, but for some reason I still remember his name, Renu Sebatyn. I have no idea why I remember that. I have a good reason for remembering that he was the muscular, gold-eyed man though.
I see a guy sitting at the bar pull out a tube of spice and light it up and start smoking. Up to this point I think this was probably my first time ever seeing spice codedly smoked in game. So, I do what anyone who hates smoking IRL would do, I give my character that personality quirk and I say, looking over at this disgusting smoker-man in anger, "Hey, why dont you put that out so the rest of us can breathe dumbass?"
Pretty much it went like this....
"Oh, hai, I'm Danu of Kurac." I dont remember if Danu was a family member, but I know he was extremely well regarded and high ranked within Kurac, I think I remember him being a family member though.
Anyways, I was drug off by some nice fellows in dun cloaks, put in a back room, told to apologize which my stupid character would not because he was sure he was in the right, and then I had my eye cut out, stepped on beneath a well placed Danu-boot and then I was killed for being a moron.

When they asked what I had to offer them, my character ripped apart a bag, spilling spice all over the place.
After that, the muls were less keen on trading and more keen on murdering us all and taking the wagon as well as the spice.

There's been way too many instances where that line's been put to use.
I was a Kadian Hunter, last I heard it, about a year and a half ago.
One time I fell into a deep hole in the desert while riding an inix, and I couldn't get out. Hours go by and I start to starve, so I killed my inix for food and half-failed my skinning attempt.
I died holding a hide.

I remember someone driving a Kuraci argosy off the shield wall. I think its still down there somewhere. I can't remember who did that, but it was basically the most awesome thing I've ever seen.

I have been in a Muarki wagon when it has fallen in a certain infamous hole. I got to help them evacuate it, break it down, fill it with explosive powder, and explode it. It was a good day.

I played a Borsail noble that got hooked on spice. I ordered my trusty Corporal to bring me to Luirs because I needed to get high. I went in disguise, which was really just taking off my ring and riding with my hood up. We crossed paths with two other travellers, who I think ended up travelling with us. I was terrified Mr. Borsail would get recognized. Made it to Luirs. Did a lot of spice. Overdosed.
Also, I stored Agameth.

I think that's a shame, because I'm pretty sure a lot of people were trying to kill him. Unrelated to people wanting him dead, I should really put up the logs involving him. There's at least one that I enjoyed a lot.
On topic: I have done stupid things, but am too embarrassed to admit to them.

I remember on my first PC when I got the "you sense a foreign presence contact your mind" message for the first time and then I started hearing the PC's voices in my head for the first time. I didn't actually read the getting started documentation or have any idea what the way was, so I instantly assumed my character was being mind-bended and I then told everyone so.

What's dumb about carrying a barrel of water around? (Assuming you have the strength to lift it.)
I almost always end up carrying 4-5 full waterskins, anyway, because 1 skin nowadays will last you like...30 RL minutes in the desert if you aren't a d-elf.
Hell, I had a half-giant who carried around a barrel -and- a cistern -and- a bag full of waterskins.

I hope all that water had electrolytes, dude. That's what half-giants crave.
A while back I played a character named Vance. I remember I started her early on the day of the HRPT finale, before all the chaos ensued. (which was awsome because nobody had any idea what was going on or when it was going to end) She had a great start and lived through all that, and some other stuff, and some worse junk. Then there was this one day when the bells wrang out over the city and I got all excited about some great arena event! Only to find the worlds biggest baddest mekillot, clawing its way out of the arena, literaly throwing people from the stands with each wave of its massive claws. This is where the dumbness kicks in right here...
All of a sudden I'm on the arena floor, in the same room with this monstrous mek and several other PC's. (I blink a few times and re-read the room desc) People are screaming and running and I keep typing "st" trying to stand up (apparently I'm already standing) Some mul Gladiators run in (and I remember thinking, ooc THANK GOD WE'RE SAVED) and one smashes me horrendously in the Noodle and knocks me out cold. (because I'm standing there UNARMED, with my studded anakore helmet IN MY HAND!!!)
As if maybe that wasn't THE ONLY TIME EVER! I SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE BALL!
(sigh) great times ;)

I was drunk once, and a 'gicker contacted me.
I thought i was being effed with and managed to frighten the tar out of about a dozen people while really being just a noob, since that was my first drunk way experience.
i would really love to see a few docs on things like this--- you know, the kind of things that are perfectly normal in the game, but that you can't find in the docs and which you, as a player, seeing it for the first time, will automatically raise alarm bells over it. like wandering into the Pah with your human newbie when all northerners with a brain know that they don't do that.
I once had copied the scene to get the log of something, having taken many pages of stuff. Then Thought I have cleared the command buffer out, and went to past some description that I thought I had just copied to do a tell. And end up pasting the log, (pages of it).
I starts to copy scroll but the scene was rolling along and I needed to get my tell out there, so i thought, screw it, I'll just enter to clear it and then it will give me some 'what?' echo and I can move on.
But no, instead it processed to issue any say, and action and contact attempt from the past logs until finally I passed out suddenly in front of a full room at the gaj.
Duh.
Funny thing is I don't think I got a few looks but mostly I got that your a noob, you should watch your stun don't way so much lecture from one of the players. In an ic manner of coarse.
OOcly I was thinking, if only that had been the real issue.
i like, when playing an undesirable, to occasionally let slip that i am undesirable in public, but one time a staffer corrected me XD and i thought they were a bender or something, right? so i smoothly changed the conversation to make it sound like i was saying something different, but by that point, i wasn't sure if staff really got onto me or if it were a nonmundane. i'm still not sure. sometimes the overcautiousness of some players keeps others from letting the occasional thing slip without getting reprimanded.
it was, to other people, stupid, and the invisible creature wasn't the only one reprimanding me; i just wanted to make shit a bit more real.
i honestly think people shouldn't be able to use the failed cast command as mundanes; it sounds weird. it seems unrealistic. if it required a total code overdrive that would take weeks to do over, then i understand why its there.
Ask a fellow pc about all their dirty little secret using ooc knowledge.
OH! I REMEMBER ONE!
On my first character I was playing a Rinthi elf trying to get into the Jaxa Pah, so they kept asking what side I was loyal to...
Well, I kept saying westside. I'm not sure if I was tired, or not paying attention, or what.
Here is another one, had a pc for well over a years worth of playtime. Attained a high rank in a clan and later died. I apped a pc that night before going to sleep. Upon waking up in the morning and wanting to get in an hour or so of play out of the way before I went to work, I proceeded to walk into the Gaj and use my old pc's speech patterns, mannerisms and even referred to my pc as his rank. I was still rocking newbie clothes. Awesome.

I remember wandering the grasslands and finding aforementioned gizhat, killing it, and thinking it was unusual for a gizhat to be there, then listening to your character complain the next day about how someone had killed his gizhat XD
I would even leave herbs and runebane in there so he could rest up, and numb the pain. I was a twink -and- ecofriendly.
Man. He got to the point where he could box a gizhat, and barely break a sweat. Fuck, that was dumb.
We, several of us, use to set it free all the time.. then laughing and feigning ignorance.
While out hunting my pc was told to practice charge. So, I charged that gurth. And he went in his shell. So I charged "shell." Which would have worked better had that other guy not been riding an inix. I think I died in a tragic bandaging incident though. It's hard to be sure. My pc was unconscious at that point.

I still can't believe you did that shit. ;)
I can't believe I borrowed a large from an Arabeti, so I could pay Kadius for THE MOST WONDERFUL CUSHY CHAIR EVER, just so I could pull it up to tables and bars and sit in comfort.
I think that chair is still around, too. Talk about one hell of a character flaw, being lazy enough to want comfy chairs. So goddamned hilarious. I'll never have another.

You were playing three PCs at once?
Back years ago when a certain market was still around, I happened across a room full of items and an elf guarding them. He growled at me, telling me to keep my distance. I decided to type 'get all' and run away, only to find I was encumbered and could only make it a few rooms away. Dead within moments.
Next up, I rode one of my longest lived characters into the silt sea on a whim, because I wanted to see those cool giants I had read about. Mantis head.
I was playing my most successful criminal to-date. Probably my richest character.
I started off joining a merchant house. I made some friends. Got some training. Life seemed good.
However I realized I could make a boat-load more money on my own at this point, and didn't really feel like putting up with the rules of the House. So sure enough, I skipped town one day without getting permission or paying off my contract.
On the run, I felt like my best chance at scraping a living was to become a raider. I became a successful raider. Over a period of (game) years.
Until a patch of really bad weather rolled in for a couple of (game) months, and so I returned to the city...and became a successful burglar. No kidding.
Life seemed pretty good until one day I broke into an apartment, and it was so full of riches that I wanted to make multiple trips. To the same apartment. And dragged the loot to my apartment. In the same building. Seriously.
Well, wouldn't you know it, but the Law turns up, and starts asking questions, starting with my name. But no big deal, right? It's not like I killed anyone. Not like I committed treason or anything. I was more or less caught stealing, but I had a good excuse and plenty of money to bribe my way out of the situation. You'd have to figure that even if I only had average luck, I was going to be walking away from that one on bail or something. Worse comes to worse, I could hit up some of my criminal connections to try to spring me out of the slammer.
...but I gave the Templar my real name? And sure enough, he connected it with desertion from the Great House. And realized I was a worthless dirtbag. Yeah, I didn't survive that one. I was so stupid.
Not thinking before I post to the GDB.

"Hey a dune rising up out of the sand!"
I forgot about that one! That was waaay fun! lol
psi Oh my god this guy is taking me across the desert to kill me help!
(he took me across Nak to put me in the Byn, my first PC haha)
This is something I managed to do a number of times back in the day. I had a really crappy phone modem (dating this a bit), and it would shut me out a lot. Knowing my modem was acting up, I'd go for runs as desert elf pcs. It is very likely the leading cause of losing most of my desert elves, and it took getting a better connection to nix the issue.:P
The funny part is the "my god"
Funniest thing is he took me across town from the Gaj to the Byn compound in a sand storm hahaha.
I was pretty tired and Arming anyway, our pcs where sparring when:
The tall muscular man stops fighting you.
>cease
Ok.
You slash the tall muscular man very hard on his body.
>cease
Ok.
You slash the tall muscular man on his head, wounding him.

One dumb thing I've done, and there have been many, was taking my rinthi to the north and then calling the questioning templar some very mean names and then blatently telling her I could take on her guards.

Practicing "steal" in the AoD compound was pretty dumb. I ended up crimcoded and perma-subdued by a half-giant. Everyone was wishing up and begging this half-giant to let me go. Finally a plan was hatched to get me out of there. It was all pretty pathetic.

Accidentally typed (kill) instead of (hit) in a bar brawl :-( Can we say instant death.....
I'm sure I'lll do dumber, but so far my dumbest move involved knocking myself out with over-use of The Way. Specifically, after being knocked out, kidnapped and dragged around for twenty minutes, I came too and immediately tried to contact my superiors and let them know I'm alive. Needless to say I spent another ten minutes knocked out and dragged around.

Been there, done that many times.
When I was a newbie, I'd sit down in taverns and, between conversation partners (x-treme 5-hour tavernsits), would spam contact figure, 2.figure, etc. That came back to bite me in-character in an expectable way.
Also, there was a tavern in the gameworld with tables not locked to the room. Ehehehe.

Irony.
Thread title: What is the dumbest thing you have ever done
in game?
One of my dumbest things I did IC was when I was a cute little newbie. Lieutenant Paryl, Sergeant Laila, Lord Templar (not yet Great Lord, I don't think) Samos Rennik, the unit, the byn, and a bunch of mages from good ol' CAM were on an RPT. It included Gith and blowing things up, like all RPTs with Mages do. Well, I was convinced that gith gear was super l33t and refused to put it down.
In the body of a spindly-armed gith (here) :
a stained tattered black sandcloth loincloth
a hooded, sandy-brown dustcloak
an used set of cuirbouilli leg guards
an used inix-hide helmet
a pouched belt
You get your pouched belt from the body of a spindly-armed gith.
It is very light, and empty.
You get your used set of cuirbouilli leg guards from the body of a spindly-armed gith.
It is very light.
The willowy, grey-streaked man says to you, in sirihish:
"Fuckin' krath. Don't loot gith bodies."
Irritably, the vibrant, jade-adorned brunette says to you, in sirihish:
"If you weigh yourself down with that worthless gith crap and get all tired out, I'll just end you myself."
You are carrying:
an used set of cuirbouilli leg guards
a pouched belt
a leather waterskin
a fleshy blue fruit
a blackened cord-long bone club
a small portion of a grilled scrab steak
an unlit dusty simple, leather-wrapped bone torch
a couple of empty water gourds
Lifting her eyebrows, the vibrant, jade-adorned brunette asks you, in sirihish:
"Are you hearing me, Private?"
You think:
"I don't care if it is worthless shet, it's -my- worthless shet."But hey, I get points for figuring out the think command, right?
Only been playing for like.. 3 days now.
But does constantly forgetting to put the training weapons back count? >.>
Don't worry, it gets better. :)

There's this guy a few months ago that walked into the Sanctuary naked, with this big ass long tdesc describing his entire naked body and how he was 'ready' to go at it, if you know what I mean.
I think it was like 10 inches, er, lines long. His tdesc, that is.
AND NO, IT WASN'T ME.

Only been playing for like.. 3 days now.
But does constantly forgetting to put the training weapons back count? >.>
I still do that sometimes with my combat PC's.
Been long enough...
Walked my Salarri non-family Merchant right into the rinth, thinking I had taken proper precautions.
I was looking for particular game-sensitive information.
It didn't end well.
I somewhat less bad about myself now.
On another sword-related note, I accidentally equipped my wrong sword before sparring with this other guy. Worse yet, he didn't notice, either - wasn't until training got finished and I sheathed the thing that we both facepalmed.

ROFL I got dead like that once I think. Or I deaded someone like that. Welcome to Arm!

I think we have all done that once or twice (or more...).
Here is my solution. I use the "
alias" command to set up aliases for your various commonly used weapons:
alias 1 draw shiny.bronze.sword etwo
alias 11 sheath shiny.bronze.sword backalias 2 draw steel.switchblade armsheath
alias 22 sheath steel.switchblade armsheathalias 3 draw steel.sgian.dhu boots
alias 33 sheath steel.sgian.dhu bootsalias 4 draw training.weapon.from.your.clan
alias 44 sheath training.weapon.from.your.clanYes, if you have four common weapons, it only leaves you with two aliases left. You will need to balance out your needs for weapons with other things.
And, of course, some clients will give you other alias options.
But the trick is, across multiple characters, either 2, 3, or 4 (followed by a quick hit of the "enter" key) will
always draw your training weapon(s).
That way it can become as much a habit for you as it already should be for your professional warrior character.
Good luck!
Reminds me of the time that I audition-sparred for the Arm of the Dragon with a single weapon in my off-hand. Disappointing.

Remember guys, avoid mentioning things under a year past, even vaguely.
Also avoid posting any logs with IC sensitive Info. The following is a log that is over a year old (Jan 30, 2010), and has no IC info.

When in doubt about posting something, you can always send in a request through the request tool to ask if a post is good or not. Error on the side of caution.)Warning: The following log is NSFWQuoteEnter a scene in Red's Tavern, where a few people are hanging out...
The crimson-maned, henna-hued man has arrived from the north, completely naked.
Catching a flash of skin, you look up at the crimson-maned, henna-hued man.
A thick mane of dark, blood red hair tumbles down onto this large man's
shoulders in haphazard tangles. Thick coils of muscle bulge under his
lightly burnished skin, given him an even henna hue. He holds a more lean,
athletic build than it would seem at first glance, but is obviously well
worked. Callouses litter his wide hands, marred with old faded scars.
Gimlet, steel-grey eyes sit above somewhat wide nose. A roughly trimmed
rectangle of the same dark-red hair encloses his austere mouth. The front
of his torso is like a flat board of hard-packed muscle, relatively straight
from his pectorals down to his waist. A large mural covers the majority of
his chest, it consists of a red scorpion wrestling with a black scorpion,
their tails poised to strike one another and the stingers crossing.
Outlining these scorpions is a whitish-silver three- pronged star.
Hanging between his legs is a cord-long penis, about five inches in
diameter. Tattooed along the side of it is well detailed mek with cobalt
eyes and teeth.
The crimson-maned, henna-hued man is in excellent condition.
He is carrying:
nothing obvious
Stating the obvious, you say, in sirihish:
"He's naked."
The short, brown-eyed, rugged man looks over to the crimson-maned, henna-hued man, and quite literally gawks.
At your table, the hale, crimson-braided woman says in sirihish, looking the crimson-maned, henna-hued man over:
"He's naked."
The short, brown-eyed, rugged man says to you, in sirihish:
"... Ohhhh fuck, I think I just exploded in my pants..."
Crossing his arms over the scorpions tattooed to his chest, the crimson-maned, henna-hued man says, in sirihish:
"If anyone here is willing to spare some coin, I'd be much obliged."
The short, brown-eyed, rugged man asks the crimson-maned, henna-hued man, in sirihish:
"I'll spare you somethin', but it won't be coin... you can wear my pants, if you want, eh?"
The short, brown-eyed, rugged man smirks, and looks from you to the narrow-faced, young man to the hale, crimson-braided woman, and then over to the crimson-maned, henna-hued man.
Peering at the crimson-maned, henna-hued man's cord-long penis, you ask, in sirihish:
"Shit, what happened? Is that thing infected?"
The crimson-maned, henna-hued man says to you, in sirihish:
"Just how it is."
Busting out into laughter at the crimson-maned, henna-hued man, the narrow-faced, young man says, in sirihish:
"Shit..."
Since you is staring at the crimson-maned, henna-hued man's cord-long penis, the hale, crimson-braided woman stares at it as well.
The crimson-maned, henna-hued man says to the short, brown-eyed, rugged man, in sirihish:
"I don't need pants. I need coin."
The crimson-maned, henna-hued man says to the short, brown-eyed, rugged man, in sirihish:
"Or at least a chisel."
With eyes trailing down to his penis, the short, brown-eyed, rugged man says to the crimson-maned, henna-hued man, in sirihish:
".... Coin... for...."
The short, brown-eyed, rugged man coughs, and blinks, before shaking his head.
At your table, the narrow-faced, young man says in sirihish, nudging the hale, crimson-braided woman:
"Whaddya think,eh?"
The short, brown-eyed, rugged man says to the crimson-maned, henna-hued man, in sirihish:
"Sorry, er... I'm uh... I don't uh...... that's a huge dick..."
At your table, you say in sirihish, still blatantly peering at the crimson-maned, henna-hued man's penis:
"That cannot possibly be natural! I think it's diseased."
At your table, the hale, crimson-braided woman says in sirihish, still staring at the crimson-maned, henna-hued man's penis:
"That's huge."
Plainly, the crimson-maned, henna-hued man says to the short, brown-eyed, rugged man, in sirihish:
"Yes, I'm well aware."
The short, brown-eyed, rugged man asks the crimson-maned, henna-hued man, in sirihish:
"... There's no way that's normal... you part fucking half-giant?"
You send this message to the staff:
"Okay, who approved the man with the cord-long penis? FESS UP."
At your table, the narrow-faced, young man says in sirihish, nudging the hale, crimson-braided woman once again:
"Well, you're a cock woman, eh."
The crimson-maned, henna-hued man asks the short, brown-eyed, rugged man, in sirihish:
"Forty sid and I'll explain how this dick came into being, how 'bout that?"
Tearing her gaze away from his dick, the hale, crimson-braided woman looks up at the crimson-maned, henna-hued man.
The short, brown-eyed, rugged man exclaims to you, in sirihish:
"Give him fourty sid, and do it -now-!"
The short templar wearing a jade-beaded black silk veil has arrived from the west.
The half-giant soldier has arrived from the west.
A human Allanaki soldier has arrived from the west.
At your table, the hale, crimson-braided woman says in sirihish, nodding in agreement to you:
"Or he's gonna infect your cock too."
At a glance on her way past and through, the short templar wearing a jade-beaded black silk veil looks up at the crimson-maned, henna-hued man.
The crimson-maned, henna-hued man notices the short templar wearing a jade-beaded black silk veil and offers a bow.
Tossing a small pouch, you give the crimson-maned, henna-hued man 40 coins.
Holding up a hand, the narrow-faced, young man exclaims, in sirihish:
"I'll double it if you tell me why you don't have any clothes!"
The crimson-maned, henna-hued man catches the pouch as he straightens up.
The crimson-maned, henna-hued man says to the narrow-faced, young man, in sirihish:
"Got a deal."
The short templar wearing a jade-beaded black silk veil's pace slows and stops. She blinks a couple times and she turns her attention back to the crimson-maned, henna-hued man.
The narrow-faced, young man bows to the short templar wearing a jade-beaded black silk veil, fighting to keep a straight face.
Looking at the cord-long penis still, you ask the crimson-maned, henna-hued man, in sirihish:
"So, how'd it happen?"
Tossing over a pouch, the narrow-faced, young man gives some coins to the crimson-maned, henna-hued man.
At your table, you say in sirihish, in an aside to the hale, crimson-braided woman:
"I think I might've had too much to drink. I swore I only had a barrel, too."
As he catches the second pouch, the crimson-maned, henna-hued man says, in sirihish:
"Well ya see, my dad fucked my mom. Some time later I was born. An' guess what, I had a huge cock. End of story."
At your table, the hale, crimson-braided woman says in sirihish, with a blink as she glances to you:
"Shit, am I drunk? Maybe I am, an' I'm jus' seein' things."
The short templar wearing a jade-beaded black silk veil's gaze narrows as she watches the crimson-maned, henna-hued man.
The crimson-maned, henna-hued man says to the narrow-faced, young man, in sirihish:
"As for my clothes."
The short, brown-eyed, rugged man asks the crimson-maned, henna-hued man, in sirihish:
"I'll giva ya a sid if ya let me touch it, eh?"
Laughing, the narrow-faced, young man says, in sirihish:
"Go on."
You notice: The short templar wearing a jade-beaded black silk veil's jaw tightens.
At your table, the short, brown-eyed, rugged man says in sirihish:
"Holy fuck... my pants are wet... and I think it was... yeah..."
A staff member sends:
"Pardon?"
Pointing a thumb at the scorpions tattooed to his chest, the crimson-maned, henna-hued man says to the narrow-faced, young man, in sirihish:
"I was a Cadet with Tor. Decided it wasn't working for me. They decided to knock me out and take my shit."
With a blink, the hale, crimson-braided woman asks the crimson-maned, henna-hued man, in sirihish:
"Huh. You were?"
Turning her attention away from the crimson-maned, henna-hued man, the hale, crimson-braided woman catches sight of the short templar wearing a jade-beaded black silk veil and immediately rises to her feet, offering her a bow.
Simply, the crimson-maned, henna-hued man says to the hale, crimson-braided woman, in sirihish:
"Aye."
The short, brown-eyed, rugged man asks the crimson-maned, henna-hued man, in sirihish:
"Shit, man, I feel bad for ya now. But... what fucking size pants did you wear to keep that Tembo-sized dick in there?"
After a pause as she retakes her seat, the hale, crimson-braided woman says, in sirihish:
"Well, he sure acts like one."
Chuckling as he slaps his leg, the narrow-faced, young man says, in sirihish:
"Aw, damn."
Shrugging lightly, the crimson-maned, henna-hued man says to the short, brown-eyed, rugged man, in sirihish:
"Few easy adjustments and I can sheath this thing pretty easy."
Handing over five fist-sized pouches, the tall, amber-eyed woman gives some coins to the short templar wearing a jade-beaded black silk veil.
Clearing her throat pointedly as she steps over to the bar and the tall, amber-eyed woman, though her attention is on the crimson-maned, henna-hued man, then calling out in clear, alto tones, the short templar wearing a jade-beaded black silk veil says, in sirihish:
"We have a problem."
The short, brown-eyed, rugged man asks the crimson-maned, henna-hued man, in sirihish:
".... Fucking... that's like a fucking club, man. Ever use it as a weapon?"
The short templar wearing a jade-beaded black silk veil takes the pouch of coins and calmly reaches to her oversized black backpack.
With a light smirk, the crimson-maned, henna-hued man asks the short, brown-eyed, rugged man, in sirihish:
"On occasion. Ya still wanna pay to touch it?"
Chin lifting, the short templar wearing a jade-beaded black silk veil says to the crimson-maned, henna-hued man, in sirihish:
"You, the disgustingly indecent man that now has the coins to afford some pants, come with me."
I also wished up to let staff know that I thought it was a tdesc after all. If I hadn't been so shocked to
begin with, I'm sure this would have occured to me before.
Yeah, I'm not really sure what was going on there. After he left, we all went back to playing Tek's Tower.
Sleeping out in the wilderness when all appeared safe. May not have been the dumbest, but is one of many mistakes Ive made over the years.

Always get your targets straight. It's really dumb to be thinking so much about one character/mob that isn't hostile, getting into a combat situation, and accidentally targeting the good one because it was on your mind.
It can lead to death. Yours or the others. Fuck dat shit. :-[

My only long lived character, a throw away human warrior I made because (prior to this all my experiance had been from red-storm as a ranger who oddly enough all of his friends were Guilders/Kuraci/Muls/Magickers and since I was a enwbie I didn't know they were 'bad guys' so I thought it was awesome looting and pillaging and what not ) SO anyway, I make this human warrior mutey, join the byn, find a mate, get in a good unit and do GREAT at training. My only successful warrior.
So I get him to about 40 days and I decide I want an apprentice right? So I start training a couple other warriors just to inflate my characters already impressive ego (one of these folks ended up becomming the byn lieutenant I discovered after my death)
So my boss, this byn sargeant gets a deal with borsail for us that if me and a couple other byns last a year we go to work for borsail. Cloak and dagger stuff blah blah blah, and my IC mate is killed. Then my Sargeant is killed. Then my best friend is killed.
Then some random elf finds my mind and in an dark back room meeting tells me Pearl borsail had my mate my best friend and my boss killed and if I don't run I'm dead.
So I run like the wind. Hide out in the sands, travel the world. Go inactive.
I returned about a real life year or two later and who do I run into in the inn? But pearl borsail. Since this time I'm pretty much master combat and had a desc change (though you can still easily tell its me)
So what do I do? I walk up to Pearl borsail and stare her down surounded by half-giant guards (mind you this is my first successful warrior NPC) Yada yada yada big battle takes place, I tell pearl I'm going to rape her and kill her fordoing the same to my mate (who I later found out was actually alive, the damn elves lied to me, who knew elves lied?) So I'm fighting all these guards. I escape, litterally fighting my way through allanak.
Now by now I've learned how to travel -REALLY- well, I knew alot of good ways around that most people didn't seem to use, so I used this one little path I knew to get out of nak through the 'rinth... I make it out with all my ok gear and my mount even and I'm riding off into the sunset when I get attacked by a TON of gith... like six. and they seemed to be the elite kind.
So I escape them... get turned around in a sand storm... And somehow fell off a cliff to my impending death.
Most anticlimatic death I have -ever- had. Survive assasination attempts , horror hunts, half-giant guards, just to die to gith and a fall off a cliff.
*Sniff*

You can do that with a 40-day warrior? I did not know that ...

You could do some insane stuff with warriors before they changed a few things..
I remember taking on two half giant NPCs and a templar once. Good times.
Yea its definately different, and yea that was something like 40- 50 IC years ago SOOOO its been a while. Combat befuddles me now I've lost my entire grip on how it worked. But yea, there was definately a time where with decent stats and high skill caps you could totaly solo pretty much anything. And add on the right equipment and a warrior in advanced age was not so very different from a defiler in destructive force over time. Ahh for the days elves could punch out half giants :P
Speaking of elves punching out half giants...
I played a desert-elf when they first introduced the 'race' to the game.. It was really hardcore compare to what they are now as well..
My d-elf took on a bahamet by himself, and because his weapons just kept glancing over the shell of the 'met, he started kicking it to death.
I think it took about 30 minutes of just kicking the bahamet over and over and over again until I finally took it down. That bahamet never managed to hit my d-elf once.
At the time a certain inn burned down in Allanak, one of my PCs was involved with the people responsible. The Templarate came to arrest the person responsible in the Gaj.
Somehow, I didn't notice they'd already subdued him and dragged him off, and my PC told the Templar he was the one they wanted, in an effort to give the real culprit time to escape.
Not the dumbest idea -ever-, but... tried to talk to a mindbender in my head. In thinks. :(
...what's dumb about that?
Yeah. I had a char who was pretty knowledgeable do that a few times. Never got a response.
Sometimes it's not clever to let people know you're aware of them.
That'd be kind of fun though, I'd like to play a minion to a mindbender that underwent stockholm syndrome, imprisoned by his own mind to his new ruler whom he talks to via thoughts.

Took a contract to tame a tarantula for a templar. Queue unarmed fighting of tarantulas and... smelling salts. I felt kind of bad ordering the group's lone ranger onto that spider...
Writing this post reminded me that there is a very fine line between awesome and stupid.
Went all Karate Kid on someone in a tavern. The guards did more than just taking out my leg.
When I first started staffing I accidentally teleported a skeet into the Sanctuary. Players rolled with it like total bosses.
Oh, resting on a cliff. That wasn't too smart.
COuple years ago I had a pc in a pc made group called like "Two Moons." And it was filled with people of just plain awesome that helped me become a better roleplayer. Now I'm playing a ranger and I knew how to get to red storm, but I hadn't realized the way there had changed. So I happily lead two of my best friends out the gate, start heading there with the route I know, and suddenly we are falling, and it's raining inix and beetles.
One died instantly, the other bled out, and I lived. Super awesome rp, but man, I still feel dumb.
Oh, My beetle lived too.
always forget to arm myself before attacking a meanie! Somehow I forget to when it comes to fighting something big.

Yhea. I took a quick breather on the shield wall once. It didn't last.
Oh! I got a noob stupid mistake. It was my first PC on Arm, I was in Raul's Byn. We ended up doing an escort, and my guy (Mason) ends up left in Luirs due to me needing to log off. Mason was a big guy that used a sword in two hands, and sang morbid songs. So when I woke up, I realized I had no food, and no water. And I kept passing out when I was trying to talk to Raul. So Raul has a couple women come and give me some food and water,I remember not being surprised that it was women that were dong him favors. Then I meet this half elf ranger, and he offers to take me to Tuluk, but ends up taking me (as I realize years later) To blackwing, for some reason. On the way to Tuluk a wild carru appears! Breed ranger runs lie a bitch, Mason attacks!
End.
Never trust a breed. it's stupid.

That is the sad thing about it. Anything else is IC.
But it was very dumb. About a rl week of preparation, innuendo, schmoozing with mages, criminals, and merchants, and organizing the appropriate time with players and Imms. Involving a few PCs, chara development, doing awesome acts of bravery, courage, and acrobatics. Demonstrating skills of stealth, forethought, preplanning, and self-horn hooting. All of that ended with one typed command <close pack>
hangs head.

You sit down to rest.
You fall!!
It's even better than that, isn't it?
It's been a while, but I remember the echo to be more along the lines of:
You sit down the rest.
You release your grip and fall, you dolt!
I'm surprised there aren't a lot more "And then after breaking a mug over their head, I kicked 'em in the shins... and it was all over" on here. I always figured that was in the top 5 for player deaths.

Yeah something along those lines. I don't know I was just doing it to cure boredom because I hate solo RP. I find crafting to be extremely boring unless I can sit and watch another PC screw up crafting just as much as I do then its pretty funny. I digress though.
So many dumb things I've done...
As a newbie character back in the mid to late '90s I actually fell into the crater in Tuluk. Thankfully that was back when no Karma was needed to play HG so I had a HG with incredible amount of HP so he lived. Actually I think his wisdom was poor so I think him jumping into the crater was a nice bit of RPing.
You never really played in Tuluk until you've pulled at least one person from the crater.

My first character was a Nakki and sent north by her house. She's sitting in the Sanctuary with a hunter from the house who hands her something and tells her to just put it on the bar. She does. Next thing I know the bar is literally in pieces, broken glassware is everywhere, a Chosen Lady and her aide are standing on a couch shrieking, guards rush in and my pc is being interrogated.

You -were- the one that set the object in question on the bar. Of course you're the one to get interrogated. Bet the hunter said you were lieing when you pointed the finger at him/her too.

me and Tuluk never get along well. Always a disaster, but hopefully others enjoy it.

My dumbest mistake in game ICly was having my independent merchant openly brag to an AoD Corporal that I'd paid to shag his woman. He thought she was exclusive but others in the Gaj started chiming in about paying her too!
My dumbest mistake in game OOCly was using kill instead of hit about half-way through the ensuing brawl.
It was really bad because Tarquin had just reached the point where he was being offered a wagon!

I learned my lesson 12 years ago, yet my characters haven't. Nor should they. Unrealistic to never trust anyone, ever. Someone eventually will earn it. :o
Back when I didn't get it, on my second character I believe, I started using certain coded commands for a certain wormy guild. On a Templar. Guess who got thrown in the Arena and chomped by a gwoshi? Yep. This one right here!
Once sat in the T'zai Byn sparring hall trying to cast spells with a ranger of mine. I was very new, and very young IRL.
I didn't know the skill command even existed at the time, nor the score skill. I had read the documentation for magic and for some reason thought everyone could be a sorcerer, if they just knew the right combination of spell words.
The spell words and the orders they should in theory go in were listed on the website. I thought I would be more clever than anyone ever, and try every possible combination. I used an excel list, calculated every possible combination, then started trying to cast....everything.
Twelve hours later I had gone through every possible combination. I could not figure out why I couldn't cast a spell.
I did not know the Wish command existed.
I wonder how many IMM's saw me doing that and just let me carry on for twelve hours straight laughing at me? Thanks guys. Jerks.
Letting a name slip out from past playing and told abouts, then noting after done said it oh crap this guy wouldnt know that! and getting strange looks from others in the area.
Maybe wasnt the dumbest but awkward enough makes you feel like crap and hoping it just wash under the bridge.

I have to have my new pc's name in my prompt. Even at three months played I sometimes type l oldpc. We can't be the only ones if there's a prompt option!
I recall one time I logged in drunk and thought it would be a great idea to drive a Kuraci wagon to Tuluk from Luir's to sell a couple bricks of spice. Now keep in mind:
1) I didn't have any outstanding spice orders
2) My character wasn't even supposed to be selling spice
3) I wasn't supposed to take the wagon out without PC support, which I didn't have
4) Due to some incident with somebody who worked for me killing some Chosen's pet, I wasn't really welcome in Tuluk right then anyway.
None of this seemed like a bad idea at the time. Luckily for me, I passed out at the keys about halfway up the road. My character apparently sat there in the wagon alone, unguarded, for about six hours, with full spice bricks in his inventory. Again, luckily, nobody decided to exploit my poor choices, so the next morning I drove back home and pretended it never happened.

This is the best dumb mistake story in the thread.
I convinced several local hunters to travel the Salt Flats exploring with me. This took an incredible amount of effort and coordination, but eventually all parties were available. We set out, make our pact to all return alive and surged onward, but we didn't expect the trip to be quite so quick. Wound up taking four kanks and their high-playtime riders down a 6-room drop that none survived. The part that kills me is reading the room description, digesting there was a massive drop about to occur and in the worst habit ever, I issued the command to go into the room. What a bad day that was, but damn funny thinking back on it all.

one day i want to see a <southern>templar that breaks the mold a little, maybe he doesn't shoot icy cold glares of death all the time. maybe he hangs out with the common folk. maybe he doesn't act like much of a templar at all. maybe he doesn't have a stick up his ass 24/7. maybe he's a slacker who doesn't take his duties very seriously. or nothing seriously. its probably been done before, but i havent seen it. it would be interesting to see how the culture dealt with it.
Whiran cronie from Gin's gang comes up.
The exchange went something like:
Cronie: "You pay for protection."
Me: "Piss off."
Cronie: "You sure?"
Me: "Yup."

Happened in various variations of it. Like for example, a templar whose duties were overseeing some village before being transferred to big bad Allanak, would be less 'stick up his ass' kind of guy. Maybe. Possibly. It's been done.

COuple years ago I had a pc in a pc made group called like "Two Moons." And it was filled with people of just plain awesome that helped me become a better roleplayer. Now I'm playing a ranger and I knew how to get to red storm, but I hadn't realized the way there had changed. So I happily lead two of my best friends out the gate, start heading there with the route I know, and suddenly we are falling, and it's raining inix and beetles.
One died instantly, the other bled out, and I lived. Super awesome rp, but man, I still feel dumb.
Oh, My beetle lived too.
Funny enough, my stupid thing has to do with this exact incident, or well...I am the one who bled out, but the funny thing is that before my char joined the 'Three' Moons, he was with the Byn and before he was with the Byn, he was a green ass noob, or more I was. It all started when I decided to go out salting and for some reason went off course and fell into that same place. I was alone and solo rp'd for like a RL week or two and he was nearly to starving/dehydrated when some Red Fang comes wandering in and miraculously doesn't kill him, but leads him out, helps him get his lizard and tells him that he's going to be an asset of the Red Fangs, think he called himself Death. Hooked him up with some stump who paid his way into the Byn which led to him joining the Three Moons, which led to him dying in the exact same hole some ig years later. Oh irony, I know you well.
My only thought was you have got to be *bleep* kiddin me...
(actually, I likely shouldn't post that)
Back in like, seventh grade. Was my third character and second Bynner. Was playing darts in the Byn barracks and decided to see what would happen if I threw said dart at Bones... After that I played an Elf Merchant, so bad decisions all around :P

First of all, I made a 'no dick' character who ended up the one sole living PC private of AoD in the city devoid of PC templarars, or other aod soldiers. The ENTIRE CITY WAS MINE!
Made a vivaduan named Susej.
Was emailed back with a denial, and a "Jesus spelled backwords is STILL a bad name for a character."
Love it. ;D
Also, once locked the door on a reynolte soldier to kill him, and it turned out to be the dwarven killing machine that was Thanos. Did not end well.
Also, one of my incredibly powerful dwarf in the crimson wind, saw a silt lurker disappear. So I went after it. And, just like the lurker did. Sank into the sea and died.
25 some days played.. what an incredibly bad way to die.
For some reason I can't even comprehend, I thought you couldn't flee while mounted and that you'd have to get off and hoof it... that never worked out well.
Has nobody said, "Fall in love?"

I once fell off the shield wall three times in one RL hour. Now it was because of the stuck key on one of my keyboard. But the dumb part is that I kept playing whilst trying to fix it.

Has nobody said, "Fall in love?"
::) :-[ :'(
A number of my PCs have fallen in love. But the stupidest thing I've ever done was as a Fale noble when I did something that caused her to be put under house arrest and then, ultimately, be stored. And it was 100% player error. Totally my fault.
So, you may be asking, what's love got to do with it?
Well, when Lord Templar Samos (by then he was Greatlord Samos Rennik) came into the Fale estate to place my noble under house arrest and believe me she was in SOOO much trouble, she chose that unlikely moment to confess her love for him.
The stupidest thing I have done and will probably do again is walk in a direction when I think I know where I am, without looking in that direction.
Riding off the shield wall and KO'd while my PC was lecturing someone about carelessness and distracted.
Or.. the 40,403 times I've continued along armed with a skinning knife right before attacking a tembo/carru/rantarri/kryl/spider/etc.

Also "I wonder what a mesa is" and "Oh. This looks interesting. I wonder what's around this corner" is probably up there for my stupid deaths.
I once talked a guy into going into a place that looked safe. I had no idea what was in there before hand, but apparently it's silt. So sorry that guy, I had no idea.

I think I was there for that.
Wild.
We all learned that day not to walk [redacted] in the [redacted] dens.

Okay so, it has happened twice then lmao.
I often die from my character doing stupid shit that I know better about. Then there are the deaths where I become so invested that I forget to eat and drink. Of course time passes much more quickly for my character, so hey starve to death or die of thirst before I do. Lucky for me.
I got separated from my side during the HRPT war between Tuluk and Allanak. I see a wall of people like 'Oh, these are my people'. I go that way, look around. Everyone engages. Flee flee flee. Dead. Those were not my people.

For some reason I can't even comprehend, I thought you couldn't flee while mounted and that you'd have to get off and hoof it... that never worked out well.
Wait? ... Yeah!
Also you have to dismount to fight still right? ;D
Dumbest thing I ever did was actually on my namesake character! Half-breed called Matisse got harrassed by a corporal of the Arm in the Gaj, and my being ridiculously new to the game (my only prior character dying in the sands to a scorpion), did not know that listen was a skill that people had and could use.
I put up with the harrassment like a good breed, then the moment the corporal and soldiers left, I said "what a dick" out loud.
He came right on back into the Gaj, subdued her, and I was like WTF WTF WHATS GOING ON WTF and tried to flee - he told me to stop resisting, but I didn't understand because newbie and didn't read much of the code relevant docs - and so he killed her.
RIP Matisse, you were too dumb for this world.
Was getting raided in the Tablelands and I claimed that they had best leave me alone because my friend was a powerful mage. They took my stuff anyway. Then I trudged back to Tuluk, penniless and dejected. A Lirathuan templar greeted me there and took me to the cells to interrogate and execute me.

I was part of a similar scene, but in Tuluk. I was playing a Templar, and the person did a "mutter" (I think maybe whisper self was available now, I don't remember) and the mutter was basically "You're an asshole".
The person was pissed because "there was no way I could have heard that".
They then fled arrest and killed numerous NPCs while running into a Salarr compound because the gates would save him. Until staff allowed me to open the gates at which point he ran past everyone on his way out.
The dumb thing I did? I was chasing someone and never used guard, or had an HG actually attempt to subdue. So the person ran around like a murdermaching.
Oh yea. Riev's post just reminded me. I made a Tuluki elf and was curious about the effects of spice so I spent all my starting sid on different spices, snorted it all until all my scores were exceptional, and attacked someone right in the city. Ran all around and was able to escape subdues pretty easily for a while until they finally managed to kill me.

Amazing, I had a character in a slightly similar situation that I can't talk about yet.
Thats funny I'll admit.
