What's the Worst Thing You've Ever Done?

Started by Cind, June 06, 2018, 08:45:00 AM


I can't say, either.   :-X

But I am soooooo sorry.  Really.
Sitting in your comfort,
You don't believe I'm real,
But you cannot buy protection
from the way that I feel.

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.
<Maso> I thought you were like...a real sweet lady.

All you people claiming you can't tell?

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.

I'm taking an indeterminate break from Armageddon for the foreseeable future and thereby am not available for mudsex.

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."
man
/mæn/

-noun

1.   A biped, ungrateful.

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.
Yes. Read the thread if you want, or skip to page 7 and be dismissive.

I suspect that's understatement of the year.  Just a hunch.

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
You begin searching the area intently.
You look around, but don't find any large wood.
You think: "Story of my life."

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.

If you ever hassle me IC for not playing much that means that I'm going to play even less or I'll forever write you off as a neckbeard chained to his computer. So don't be a dick.

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.
