To someone, or to a group, to yourself? Many different possible answers.
I'm a pretty mild player, but I remember an elf dying of thirst and I gave him an empty waterskin. I mean, by accident, but it was pretty funny after the fact. The one time I had been careless with my waterskin. He died in that room twenty seconds later.
The person playing that elf, I think I also drove him off Discord, which I feel a little bad about, but less so because he was always busy IRL and really didn't need a nosy discord buddy who talked a lot more than he did.
There was something a long time ago that I did that was bad, but for the life of me I can't really remember. I think it had to do with rinthis and poison and was during a time where I was willing to bring some shit down on the house.
I have an account note that I was an extreme asshole to a newbie in the T'zai Byn once, despite them asking for help. Though I don't remember the situation at all, nor how I would have known it was a newbie, nor how being an asshole mercenary was somehow worthy of an account note.
I think that's probably the worst thing I've actually done, outside of PK (determined by a literal roll of the dice)

What's the worst way you have ever PKed someone, then?
I'm afraid the only sort of nefarious things I've ever pulled are too recent to mention.
PK: Pregnant PC. It was graphic. Really graphic.
... Really graphic.
To 'Family': I played a pretty hard-core Militia that absolutely hated Gemmed. I pulled in a couple siblings for a family role and you guessed it, both of them rolled up gemmed. Instead of making an exception (Snowflakes everywhere!!), he doubled down on his hatred. His relationship with his sister was absolutely toxic, basically claiming she was dead to her face, etc. That is until he actually found her outside the gates during a routine patrol with Torgun, I believe. He absolutely broke down and for once could mourn her not as an abomination, but as the sister he once loved.
No, but seriously, I can't describe to you how graphic that PK was.
To Zalanthas:

A warparty led by Allanaki blue-robe templars and including soldiers of House Tor and gemmed from House Oash makes a foray into the Tablelands, striking for an oasis. They apparently meet no resistance, and do not stay at the oasis long before turning back for Allanak. Within hours, magickal creatures of stone strike in the streets of Luirs and Allanak, overtaking portions of the cities until they can be beat back. Simultaneously, the earth rumbles, and large swaths of the North Road between Allanak and Luir's crumble off the Shield Wall; while cliffs which border the North Road between Luir's and Tuluk collapse and cover it.
Bought and paid for while sitting on a balcony sipping wine. Events that would lead to a lot of destruction, but totally worth it. Ends justify the means. Would do it all again.

Two Desert Elves in the grasslands. Some grebber comes up and starts trying to salt. We roll up on him and start chatting away (as best we can). I look at the other elf, and roll my pair of dice. I shake my head (knowing it didn't matter what came up) and said "You rolled low." and immediately attacked the guy. Who mounted and ran off, but desert elves... so he got deaded.
I PKed Tuannon. He was my only direct PK ever, in all my years of playing. :-[
Valeria's templar ordered me to do it, I swear!
I would say throw hissy fits at staff over bad IC outcomes I was having. I did this particularly severely on two occasions back around 2008-2010 or so. I had karma docked for it at the time.
In hindsight, and often within a few months of the incidents, I would realize that I was actually having a blast with the game, just getting some high highs and low lows. After two of these hissy fits I stopped having them and it has been smooth silt-sailing since.
As a noble, I PK'd an extremely green newbie for not knowing how to use the 'skills' command. I didn't realize that's what was going on at the time; I thought he'd been deliberately lying to my character, when actually he just didn't know that a certain language was on his skill list at first. I really needed to be punished for that one, but I wasn't, somehow.
A lot of what my characters do is objectively awful.
The worst, in character, is probably betrayal. Without getting into specifics, there have been more than a handful of times my PCs have straight murdered, sabotaged the career of, or sold out very close friends/allies just to preserve their own interests. The "worst" is when they do it because of what might end up being an imagine threat -- just the threat of a threat.
I prefer my PCs to be PKd, rather than die from a fall, or from an NPC. I far an away prefer them to be betrayed -- it's where the meat of the game is for me.
I really look forward to talking to a few betrayals in particular, in the future. There was a lot of build-up that was maybe invisible to most people, and it had me thinking about it constantly IRL.

Was this the time the demon came out of the firepit room in the Gaj and a flaming kylori attacked the western gates? Or the time with the stone gurths rolling through the center of Allanak?. Oh wait that might of been the same day as well.
Hard to say the what the worse thing I have done in game is. But I think it would have to be the acts perpetrated by my Rinthy guilder, Ervynn. He was straight up gangester. Rape, Torture, extortion, sex rings, spice dealing, assassinations and feeding orphans in his spare time.
lots of mudsex on the sun king's sanctuary leather couch.

We can no longer be on speaking terms.
The worst thing I did to myself was create a character and start playing this time sink of a terrible terribly fun game.
Also... I learned if the docs say certain races are immune to poison, it's not exactly true... Not with Shit water. Don't give it to your dwarf friends. (It's a terrible prank)
I threatened to cook a baby in the Gaj but I couldnt get ahold of one. I tried.
Two things... 1. I twink-killed someone on command without much of a scene because he was a known twink and I didn't want to risk death.
2. I walked into the wrong group in the bit Nak-Tuluk HRPT and had like... fifteen soldiers and HGs on me instantly. Dead before I could figure out what I'd done.
I've never done anything ba-
(https://i.imgur.com/O39v1WX.png)
Okay I've never done anything that bad. Had dark, wrathful thoughts of what I thought should happen to some characters, but rules or circumstance blocked me.
I dunno, though. I guess the time I burned that elf's face off in the Gaj grill? But they probably deserved it. Or the time I killed a baby. (It was a sewer horror)
I guess the probably worst thing I did, from a code and roleplay abuse, was on my AoD Lieutenant. While riding my beetle to a patrol through the City, I saw a dead body. Next room over, I saw a guy with a bloody knife. I looked at him, he looked at me, he ran. I rode one room over and bitch-slapped him from beetleback, causing Half Giant SEAL Team 6 to repel down from the rooftops and turn him in to a smear.
In my defense I thought I had a sword out.
I pked someone on command from another character, I emoted once and killed them in two hits. I felt kind of guilty for it for awhile. Buuuut the guy had it coming.

There was resistance. I don't think I want to talk about it.
The worst thing I did was tell someone to not do something IG, which was pretty meta and OOC and didn't make sense in an IC sort of way. That was years ago when I was newbier than I am now. That's the only bad account note I had.
I'm not really sure what's on my account notes. Honestly, I haven't done anything bad on purpose, so I'm sure there isn't much on there. There is a line from someone though, I remember now, that kind of warmed my heart because they liked the way I roleplayed something.
One time I was Pearl, Silteye's brother. Neither of those were our real names, mine was Pasheen, and I was the crazy little sister who'd tell you that the moon was bleeding out or that cheese is another form of poison. One time, we were moving to Allanak so he could join the byn (which explained why I was a runner when he was a sargaent; I simply joined later.) And I'd brought five large I'd made and a BIG ASS bag of spice.
The Arm was looking for a man with one eye, and bingo, Silteye had one eye for those of you who remembered him. So, the Arm stops us at Meleth's. And I've got this BIG ASS bag of spice in my inventory.

:-*
I'd tell you but....
I can't say, either. :-X
But I am soooooo sorry. Really.
Worst thing to vNPCs: Helped round up a dozen or so vNPC beggars/civilians/innocents and executed them on Meleth's Circle as an example to hungry rioters.
Worst thing to NPCs: Probably murdered a hundred or so unarmed starving NPCs in aforementioned riots.
Worst non-lethal thing to a PC: Spread an somewhat unfounded rumor that resulted in a (v/NPC) noble child being taken from his (PC) parents and raised as a bastard in another House.
Worst PK: Murdered a colleague and friend, who hadn't really done anything wrong, on orders from a noble.
Worst thing to a player: Magickally incapacitated another allied gemmed during an RPT just because they were annoying.
That time I let them kill me indiscriminately.
EDIT: Those times I let them kill me indiscriminately.
Killed multiple link-dead PCs on Allanak's streets while they were unarmed with weapons on their belt, for their loot. Street rules, babe.
Once I found multiple unattended light green inixes near Allanak, and stole and stabled them all.
But then I felt bad about stealing that much inixes, so I filed a character report about it.
All you people claiming you can't tell?
https://media.giphy.com/media/Fjr6v88OPk7U4/giphy.gif (https://media.giphy.com/media/Fjr6v88OPk7U4/giphy.gif)
Worst things my characters ever did:
I had a cool story here, but I forgot we can't talk about magick or specific things you should definitely have to find out IC, so Akariel helpfully edited this sentence into something that isn't breaking the rules.
One stole her cousin's most trusted lover.
Same one - same cousin couldn't have babies - she had a kid by one of the guys cousin had crush on to give to said cousin to raise but really was undermining mother status by spending time and brainwashing baby/ All because her cousin hurt her feelings by yelling at her when she was totally devoted to her.
My Sun Runner made an Akai fall in love with her hard core to be able to use him. Her plan was to have him steal that wall in the Sanctuary for her. She meant nothing of it at all and was really disgusted by city elves. Same Sun Runner had a drovian human fall in love with her that she strung along. Ironically while she didn't love him she had more respect and trust for that human than she did for that Akai elf.
The worse in my opinion was Shy.
Shy was the bait to kill a Kadian.
Killed her newborn, told murderer bf she lost it.
Had ally, ally made her money like nobody's business, ally was also a disgusting breed kanking pos, she lets everyone know tarnishing his rep, lots of betrayal and corruption later the templar she's bribing throws him in the pit of despair for lying to him about her supposed death. She was cruel while he was dying. Like degrading cruel. Shy was a real turning point.
An improvised blood ritual involving a pregnant PC, which made use of some mild cannibalism. I occasionally wonder if the father ever found out about it. It's doubtful he did, but I definitely won our little tiff.
Pretty sure I forgot to kudos the PC's player; really rolled with something that was intensely spur of the moment (as did the other PC involved), and did so in an adept fashion. Kudos.
My sorcerer did some pretty horrible stuff.
To be as vague as possible, drove my arch-enemy templar to basically madness, killing the woman he loved and manipulating him into attacking, but failing to kill another templar I hated. In the end that templar suicided himself in a failed last ditch effort to kill me.
Forced a byn sergeant to kill his closest ally (another byn sergeant) to prove his loyalty.
Convinced minion(s) to kill their own mate(s) because they were deemed a threat. Three times.
Captured a desert elf magicker who attacked an ally. Cut of the elf's ears, forced him to wear a gem, and then dumped him off in Allanak as a joke.
Demanded a potential minion to kill her old boss who I had captured. When she hesitated, another of my more bloodthirsty minions killed her. Fed boss she failed to kill to a horrible monster.
Convinced a gemmed who wanted revenge on me that she would never accomplish her goals, and all her friends were dead, and she should just give up on life. I then took her on a horrible journey and kicked her to death.
After falling to the dark side and becoming a defiler, my mate tried to convince me that she could fix me. Burned her alive for that.
Convinced my minions that any other sorcerer we came across had to die because: "If they're a preserver, they'll want to kill me for being a defiler. And if they're a defiler, well, do you REALLY want another of ME in the world?"
A magicker who had pissed me off earlier was trying to become my minion. He was wanted in Allanak, so I convinced a gemmed to come over and forced them to slap fight to the death. I mocked him when he called me a traitor saying "Traitor? No, the word you are looking for is betrayer!"
Captured someone who killed the only person my sorcerer actually cared about. Cut off her hand, slapped her in the face with it. She demanded for me to let her go so she could fight me in a fair fight. "She wants to fight me! One handed everyone!" as I showed off her hand to my minions. I then had her poisoned and had this exchange:
You say to the [redacted] in sirihish:
"Good, good. I want you to die cursing my name."
Still flailing, the [redacted] exclaims, in northern-accented sirihish:
"Let me go. Cowards too scared to fight a one-handed Tuluki!"
You say to the [redacted] in sirihish:
"I have no wish to give you any amount of satisfaction."
You say to the [redacted], in sirihish:
"I want you to die frustrated at the hands of a coward."
I killed the Red Fangs. One of the coolest tribes ever.
Did I do it personally? No.
Did I even lift a finger in combat? No.
But I knew all the PCs involved. I knew every angle that was going on at the time. I had all of you reporting to me, on all sides of that conflict, and I twisted, and pulled, and tweaked, and maneuvered each and every one of you into the eventual gambit. At any point, that all could have broken down, people could have made peace or offered a tribute or avoided The Doom that Boomed.
But, see, the RF had killed my PC's girlfriend, and that miffed him. He needed her insane ass to do some insane things, and then his tool was gone.
You all danced to an Akai puppetmaster's strings, and in the end... there was only smoke.
That's the worst thing I've done. I still regret it, because the RF kicked complete ass.

ALL of his post is an understatement. ;D
Please do not post about magickal artifacts, or specific magickal issues people should definitely find out about IC.
The same goes for anything mundane that people should find out IC.
This might not fit the bill for what you're talking about because it was really an IC mistake that I tried to play off, but...
I once had a desert elf that was hanging out with another desert elf and we were fighting an elf of some other tribe and I was told OOC'ly to make sure I had mercy on... well, I thought I did but I didn't, and it seemed like it was a reeeaaally long time, like thirty seconds after he was unconscious and I speared him dead. I was really embarrassed, and tried to play it off like I was just some mean killer. Soon after that I got led into a place with some horrible beast and got left behind to die, most likely as revenge for being a doof. :P Oh well.
Made nice with important nobels
promptly went to opposite city state and betrayed for like ..500 coins total or something
got someone [redacted], barfed in fear, proceeding to continue aforementioned betrayal out of pants shitting terror
I lost my insurance, went off my meds, lost my fucking mind, harassed a few really good players, and was generally toxic and horrible. Got justifiably banned, I'm back now.
I've got insurance again, I'm seeing a specialist, I'm taking my meds regularly and keeping on top of myself. I still hugely regret those things I did, they cost me good friends and a lot of the good faith I had from staff here. But, if I can come back anyone can come back. Now I just gotta focus on my health and rebuild.
I hope those players know how sorry I am. I can't undo the harm, I can't take back what I did, but I sincerely apologize.
ICly I'm like incapable of playing mean characters. The worst things have been done in my deceased characters' names. Give me time. :-*
Hey man, are you even really mentally ill if you don't go on a drug-addled(drug UN-addled?) bender and ruin several of your relationships? One love, blood.
I can't say I understand how you feel Kar, but I know what its like not to be able to control your emotions and that other people saying "Take a deep breath and relax" isn't going to help. I'm glad you're doing better though.

Don't worry, they are all carebears. ;) Focus on murder corruption and betrayal! <3 It works.
I can certainly empathize, Karieth. I've only recently actually seen some "good" doctors, regarding my issues. Up until now my life has just been a raging shitstorm of fucking horrible, and looking back, it is a bit embarrassing. I've seen psychiatrists, sure, but they did the bare minimum and their idea of how to choose appropriate medicines must've been something akin to throwing darts at a chart, or rolling dice (oh, crit fail! Doesn't that suck, bet you didn't know SSRIs can cause horrible manic episodes!).
During that time I've felt like I've been clawing my fingers to the bone just to stay in place, every time I'd get ahead the rug would get yanked out from under me. I must mention that I did it to myself, but, I really wasn't in control of the situation. This has, in the past, caused some of my more irresponsible moments in the game.
Now I have a therapist, and a doctor that carefully considers what I've discussed with him before discussing the best possible options. I feel more stable than I have in, well, ever... but there's always that part of my mind that's waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Anyway, worst PK I participated in that I can recall involved, well, there's two kinda tied. One was paying off a rinthi elf to murder this poor, naive, gullible elf PC for having had the misfortune to guess about my c-elf's er, rather naughty relationship with his human hunting crew, among, a few other reasons, I still feel badly about that.
The other was an employee who couldn't keep her mouth shut after finding another elven employee in the sack with a Templar's aide, which made me feel freaking terrible. Protip? Blackmail goes out the window as an option if you go around telling people, oh, and also important people will pull out all the stops to kill everyone who knows if one person's blabbing. What's worse than aide fancy-pants kanking an elf? The Templar the aide is kanking being publicly embarrassed because now everyone knows he's banging an elf-diddler.
I once disposed of a player because they allowed their self to vulnerable, make mistakes and have an actual personality.
I killed them in the easiest way possible, allowing zero risk or consequence to fall on my character for my actions.
An then I gloated about it on this thread.
I've done some evil shit in game but I was thinking of one today that amused me that's kind of petty. Way back, with my character I got my first karma with I was playing a half-elf that was posing as a human. She was kind of a nasty person, very look out for number one. She was in Salarr and had a dwarven sarge. She also had a dwarven team mate that was brutal in battle and she didn't like the fact he was ahead of her for promotion.
One day this dwarf ... I want to say he was the blue-eyed dwarf Garrith maybe? Has a friend that was in trouble in the Tablelands. I'm like you go little dwarf, I'll cover for you here. We were stationed in Tuluk. Before he left he asks me if I have any spare water because we're out of it in the tun. I'm like, no sorry boy-o. (I had plenty of spare water on me.) So he asks how to get to the tablelands and I lead him to the githlands instead. Predictably, (for me) it doesn't go to well.
He proceeds to begin to die from thirst and almost makes it back to Tuluk. At this point I'm like, hmm if he relays my involvement in this someone's going to figure out I not so accidentally sent him awry. So he is almost back to Tuluk and lost in the outer circle and I'm still leading him every which wrong way acting Waying him like --- I'm trying to help you, hang in there you're doing great little buddy! He finally gets our Sarges mind who rushes out to try to save him.... he died of thirst a few squares from the gates. That night I led the toast we raised to him.
I'm an ass. That story still makes me chuckle.
Oh, also, when I was playing a gith, I got nudged by staff about being careful about consent rules after I knocked another gith out and pissed on his face as a power move. I was so good at sticking to the gith docs of being a rude asshole that other players were kind of getting mad about it.
I also posted a couple of tidbits in the gith forum on how to use the code to our advantage against the twinky d-elves we were fighting at the time.
EDIT: Word to the wise if you play a raider: don't Way your victims to taunt them, even with your hood up. You might suddenly start finding arrows hitting you out of the crowd of ten hooded figures you roll with because they have your sdesc keywords now.
I dont think peeing on someone should require consent unless its done in a sexual or torturous way. Its just unpleasant.
That said, I did have complaints about it when I did it to a Runner one time in the Byn.

That templar really thought he was going to win, that the Highlord had his back, that he was destined to be the greatest templar ever, and [insert other narcissistic thoughts here]. He really did die stark raving mad, but to be fair, he started out mentally ill with narcissistic personality disorder, and you and your crew did a fabulous job of pulling his strings. Good times!
Okay, for me:
Worst thing to vNPCs: I had a character who murdered her own infant child because it was born with a skin condition, and she was a dwarf whose focus was to have a perfect family.
Worst thing to NPCs: Also murdered a bunch of NPCs during a riot, this one in Tuluk. That character lost her shit because it interfered with her prime directive to serve and protect, and had PTSD flashbacks of one of the people she murdered.
Worst non-lethal thing to a PC: Got Kitt Borsail married into House Tor by lying through my teeth to everyone about what she had failed to offer House Fale during a Senate RPT. Called her "Kitt Torsail" after said victory. Was generally horrible to Kitt Torsail as a general rule.
Worst PK: My templar thought a guy giving really odd answers to questions was a mindworm and had Torgun kill him. Turned out he was just a noob.
Worst thing to a player: Stored on a family role. I'm so sorry Teal, it was getting really tedious to have PTSD and RL stuff was going on. Oh, or that time I literally walked my massive pregnant city elf down a pit in front of her lover/tribe mate on another family role because I forgot how far in a direction I had gone.
Thing I have learned from this thread despite playing for almost 10 years now: Peeing on people requires consent.
I think my PC's are generally evil. But there's a few moments that stand out, more because they were really entertaining than they were more evil than anything else I've done.
I remember the first evil thing I did successfully. I was playing a dwarf with a focus to get coins. He made friends with a dwarven rukkian, and then tricked a salarri dwarf to come to that broken down wagon that used to be south-west of allanak, years ago. Then we trapped him there and I killed him for his loot. That was my first ever PK, I think. The Rukkian was a lunatic and very well played - great experience for me as a new player.
Played a dwarf that worshipped the silt sea, used to raid people and throw their items into the silt as a sacrifice. I knocked someone out while they were salting, dragged them to the edge of the sea, and made them walk out two leagues into the shallow silt as a 'test of silt' to see if they were worthy of the silt's blessing. I knew that there was a dujat hiding in the waves that was going to kill them... I hope the player appreciated the scene though. It's actually a great log, I should send it in.
I played a raider that was an escaped gladiator. I found a couple of Allanaki grebbers and made them fight their mount for my PC's enjoyment, the same way Allanaki citizens used to watch him fight for their enjoyment. They both died, really fun scene though.
Played an Arabetti bounty hunter - Seulif. There was one contract on a pregnant woman that felt a little ickier than most other Pkills I've done.
Played a Nilazi that raised an undead posse from corpses in the 'rinth, and had them shadow me to the Salarri shop in Allanak. Had them all attack some poor sap all at once and knock them out. Then, I subdued and dragged them off while guards were killing my minions. I dragged him off to the alleys, trying to dodge aggro NPC's that would have killed him. My victim's PC buddy followed us there and put me down before I could do anything nefarious, however.
I intentionally emoted smacking an NPC kid in the face with a battleaxe because my Byn Sarge said not too.
God I love riots.
The worst thing I've done in semi-recent memory is when my PC betrayed her lover of many years to his worst enemy.
I've done a lot of terrible things, but they'd require a good bit of exposition... so I'm just gonna stick with that one. I still think about that final, poignant emote he threw out when he was bleeding to death. It was beautiful.

This made me chuckle, sounds pretty epic.

Some people get all the fun.
These are always my favorite threads, I have done bad things.
With a whiran over a decade ago I killed so many npcs by abusing the code. I became massively rich by selling their gear. I also teleported into the secret areas by random chance and looted a lot of fancy stuff I wasn't supposed to have access to.
I made a character called "the man with no hair", killed a templar npc, stole his robe and wore it around, becoming "the man with no templar" for a very brief time.
Really, so much code abuse and meta joking I could write a whole book about my sins.
On an IC front, some Oash lord crashed his massive argosy in the canyons of waste and I sent some vandals out to burn it to the ground before he could retrieve it for repairs. That was pretty bad.
Various seductions that ended in death for the seduced party.
Dirty dirty dirty southern politics.
One character cut off a lot of people's fingers and I do mean a lot.
I once burned a crashed Oash argosy in the canyons before it could be retrieved for repairs, probably costing them a fortune.
....ehehehehehehehehehehehehe

Praise the sun!
Pretty much every PK I've regretted how it went down. I don't regret killing them, as it was always motivated IC. But after every single one I find myself thinking of things I could have said or done to make that death epic and interesting.
Instead they're all some combination of "Don't do it!." [mantishead] Or "I can't believe you're still doing this after I said I'd kill you if you kept doing this." [mantishead].
Might have, under the cover of night, collected hundreds of corpses from piles across the city and then may have dragged them to an old warehouse before the merchants quarter was revamped and then perhaps butchered them up and fed them to the starving masses making those piles of corpses, all for the Highlord!!
And then maybe I invited a Borsail noble to see the inner workings of the soup kitchen and added her to the menu. Deaded by a Templar who was not impressed.

Amazing.
I never allied with a Laura Mars character for any hijinks whatsoever. I was kankin' in the rinth, that's my alibi.
One of my first characters was a hideously bad character, I can't really chock it up to 'worst thing' so much as 'ignorant noob', but a friend and I definitely caused unwarranted mischief in town for a good hour before being destroyed.
I had a templar's aide that went on a crooked cop sort of spree once, and overtaxed merchants everywhere, making a pretty 'sid of fifty that I never should have.
Another character, perhaps way above her place, but acting on her superior's green light, waged a 'political' war against a certain noble, and managed to come out on top. I still feel weird about that one at times; probably should've been skinned in the streets. ;D
An ancient character of mine went into the gaj, singing a song about Borsail nobs, (something corny like, "What a Bore-say-ole man, won't ya go rut a kank' if I remember right) just to lure his aide into an alleyway for sweet murders.
I've been a pretty nice player, all in all; or my memory is just awful. 8)
Traveled with my Konviwedu bard from Tuluk to Allanak undercover with the Byn, hiding my identity at all times, with three mysterious cages. Sneak'd through the city to open the cages at strategic points, releasing rats that had the plague into the city sewers. Returned to Tuluk to be praised by Winrothol. When the city fell, traveled to Allanak, got arrested and went ahead to spill this information as a way to keep myself alive. My character was, if I recall well, convincing himself that by climbing the Allanaki ladder he would be able to serve the Sun King better. While (virtually) fucking up Tuluk. Almost got allowed to have a life in the Atrium teaching, or serving nobles, but eventually I got kicked out of the city to be allowed re-entry (if things got less heated up, due to political pressures on having this Tuluki around). Went to Red Storm and got murdered the fuck out by Tuluki loyalists.
You will always be my one and true lover, my dear Flaire.
My Borsail noble also lashed, a lot.
When Allanak was in famine and there were riots happening due to starvation my criminal PC was feuding with the Templarate. The Templarate decided to have people come receive free food in the Arena but my character didn't want them to have any chance to be trusted or perceived as the good guys, she wanted to perpetuate the idea that they were hoarding food and letting everyone starve.
So before they could do that she and her friend drug an NPC soldier into the rinth, killed it and she donned it's gear and went around passing out poisoned loaves of bread in the name of the Highlord. Dozens of people start vomiting their guts out. Children die all around her. A riot starts and she runs away. She mass murdered starving people all while convincing herself that she was really saving them in the long run. Then she made a rumor that any food received from the Templarate could be poisoned after what appeared to be a soldier was seen dispensing poisoned food to try to weaken their position.
To be fair it did haunt her and she ultimately took her own life by downing the same poison after all of her close friends were killed or died off.
With that same PC I tried to attack an NPC that used magic to have me end up in Iskander.
That was a tricky one to explain to the PCs that found me. But I should save that for a thread entitled the stupidest thing you've ever done - to which I would likely have one of the longest lists.

Wow, awesome.
Was once a part of the nilazi coven that kidnapped very vibrant, well played, colorful tuluk social butterfly aide, convinced her that we could return her lost dead love, and drained her lifeforce, vibrancy, and colour. All to make our void cursed, emotionless, nilazi husks to temporarily feel like normal humans again.
There might have been an orgy afterwards, rolling around in a pool of blood.

Character pissed off my pickpocket. Saw they had 4 or 5 mount tickets on them. Stole all of them.
Yeah, I know, I'm a monster.

Only if you took them to the slaughterhouse! :P
I mean, duh. Then you use the profits to buy the meat that shows up in the butcher shop, cook yourself a nice steak, and pair it with some celebratory booze.
No? Just me?

Shit. I had a single PC make upwards of 20,000 'sid by stealing mount tickets. The only reason this wasn't a widespread ploy is that most people couldn't stand playing pickpockets, or couldn't play them right, because they were such one-trick ponies.
It's only a matter of time until people start bitching about the miscreant class: mark my words.
I think the shittiest thing I ever did in-character was sapping a high-up Guild PC while he was idling in the Trader's Inn (I was AoD clanned at the time), failing to kill him, then repeatedly attacking him and finally killing him while he was subdued by an NPC soldier that had rushed in to help me. (This was probably like 15 years ago, so don't hate.)
The most cruel thing IC...I dunno...the Staff decided we had to purge certain people from a certain clan, so I had to help orchestrate the really cold-blooded murder of several folks who my PC actually liked and had no other reason to want to kill.
Ooh, also...I had a Rukkian HG who helped some really bloodthirsty Salarris slaughter an entire village. That mental image of an inix trampling a child to death is pretty sick.
The mother of four who let the different fathers raise them all and is the only character I've ever had pk someone.
Characters:
Killed a gemmed rukkian who betrayed the tribe she ran with a runaway gemmed.
Then proceeded to kill the runaway gemmed's mate while he killed hers.
They consummated the relationship on the dead body of his dead, pregnant, former mate.
She later left their twins with him after having a baby with a gypsy.
NPC:
Helped the gypsy (unwittingly) sacrifice the baby by giving him a hundred of the mos powerful spell components in the world to help him summon something which proceeded to then kill the child and, if I recall right, take his eye.
I've had a lot of characters do a lot of messed up things but, none of them compare to that combination of bad.
