What is the dumbest thing you have ever done in game?

[Symphony]

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.

Sounds like just another typical 'Nakki if you ask me. Go all in or go home.

From my account notes in 2008, when I was playing a templar.

-  At 47 days played, player passed out from psi stun in the middle of a busy tavern.  Never let her live it down, by any means  (note to player:  Thanks for the laughs!) - 2/21/08

LOL, now that's funny.

...That one was a little hard to RP around.

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.

[Qzzrbl]

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."
Cronie: "k"

Few RL days later.

Quick: "Hi."

So... a Fale.

[Wastrel]

nah not really. less fabulous. but such a pc would probably have to be one.

[Marauder Moe]

The only Fale templar I can recall was scary as fuck.

It's been done before at least once. There was a certain templar from the farming villages.

It takes a real man to wear bright green pants and be scary.

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.

[Ourla]

Was it Boopsie? Boopsie Fale? I wanna hear that story again.

[Narf]

I don't know about the kinder and gentler part, but I think the really lazy variant sounds like a lot of fun.

Did it. Tea and templar time. Twas awesome.

Somewhere in the Grassy North [NESW]
The semi-buff ranger chick is standing here.
The buff assassin is standing here.
A cave filled with monsters is here.

The semi-buff ranger chick says, in sirihish:
    "We can take them!"

The buff assassin says, in sirihish:
    "This is a very bad idea but ok. Now listen carefully, I'll go in first and -"

The semi-buff ranger chick shouts, in sirihish:
    "ALRIGHT LET'S DO THIS LEROY JENKINS"

The semi-buff ranger chick enters a cave filled with monsters.

THE BIG BAD MONSTER BITES YOUR HEAD DOING HORRENDOUS DAMAGE
THE BIG BAD MONSTER BITES YOUR NECK DOING HORRENDOUS DAMAGE
THE BIG BAD MONSTER BITES YOUR FOOT DOING HORRENDOUS DAMAGE
THE BIG BAD MONSTER BITES YOUR WAIST DOING HORRENDOUS DAMAGE
THE BIG BAD MONSTER BITES YOUR HEAD DOING HORRENDOUS DAMAGE
Welcome to Armageddon!

this happened to me too once, except a new chick i met died and i barely escaped when i was the dumby who was like "well if there's two of us... we should be able to get them"

dumby felt sad, alone, and dumb arma-cartharsis

[Armaddict]

Templar Heeth Fale was up there, too.

[slvrmoontiger]

Mine was somewhat like this but only stupider if that is possible. Ummm Krath I can't talk about it it hasn't be a year yet. I'll check back in a few months when it has been a year.

[Barsook]

Thinking that my PC can take on this monster after killing one before solo.

[Dar]

That one year rule actually legit, or just an urban legend? Because I've done some dumb shit in my time. That's for sure.

[Barsook]

It's legit.

[Nyr]

It's legit.

It's something players often tout as legit, but some things aren't okay for that, so when in doubt, ask staff.
