Stupid things you did when you were new.

I'll start, here is a gaff I remembered earlier today.

Welcome to Armageddon

About five years ago (when I came back to the game)

Welcome to Armageddon!

(okay, so there was no "think" command.  but you get the idea)
"I have seen him show most of the attributes one expects of a noble: courtesy, kindness, and honor.  I would also say he is one of the most bloodthirsty bastards I have ever met."

My first character:

Sweet!  I have backstab!  *backstab slave* *dragged to jail* *templar walks in* Meh.  *lose link*

Second character (a borsail decked out in nice silks and armors):

"Look out for any muls that need to be licensed."  *enter labyrinth* *enter screaming mantis* *tell mul I don't see a collar on you, mul.  Come with me, and we'll have you registered as a slave.*

Note: Bleh...char names from my first three chars...long ago. I wouldnt say it's any deal that it be mentioned. Safe to say...I died to the same npc...three times in a row. Heh...I'd say thats pretty bad. Didn't learn my lessons where not to go.


Character Pinfos:

toresh (dead)

Toresh (Dracul) has been killed by the dark tattooed dwarf in room
#77228,
amen.


tauski (dead)

Tauski (Dracul) has been killed by the dark tattooed dwarf in room
#77228,
amen.


kaz (dead)

Kaz (Dracul) has been killed by the dark tattooed dwarf in room #77228,
amen.

:oops:

Probably my worst was during a chat with a noble, where I casually mentioned that I was a pickpocket.
Also, as a newb, I had a horrible tendency to use the OOC command to critique people's roleplay (people that were quite often more experienced than I, mind you).
God, I was such a little bastard.

Walked around with sneak on until an NPC guard knocked me out (I wasn't trying to sneak past him, I was just oblivious) and someone stole all my newbie coins.

It also took me forever to figure out how to put coins in my pack and take them back out, so I walked around with all my coins in my inventory.

Looted my own corpse.  Twice.

I've been trying to figure out, based on his writing patterns, which country killa comes from.  Sadly, I find myself stumped.

I spent a good amount of time out cold after sparring.

When I first started.....I used to attack nobles then make another character to do it again and again.  I used to knock out npcs/pcs and practice backstab on them. I remember getting into it with pcs with my city-elves and hiding and stealing their weapons before I attacked them.  And the list would probably go on if I thought hard enough on the subject.

I do stupid things now more than I do when I was new.

You win Armageddon, congratulations!  Type 'credits', then store your character and make a new one

That's how he is in game, and how he has been for the last three years.  Not that that's... anything bad.  Ahem.
Back from a long retirement

I'm still having trouble with emote commands!

<insert your character's description> eyes <insert keyword>.
The stupid kank eyes red  :lol:

>drop pants
You do not have that item.

I've always loved the 'rinth... though looking back over my account notes from my first few characters it would appear that Arm hadn't quite clicked with me at that stage  :wink:

Char #1 has been killed by the bulky, grim-faced man in room #77130, amen

Char #2 has been killed by an elven rogue in room #77225, amen.

Char #3 Wearing rags, killing kids in the 'rinth, 5am. Flagged Borsail. They hire anyone these days.

Char #4 Been a bad boy lately, killing 'rinthers.

Luckily Char #4 was the time Arm dropped into place with me and he went on for another 20 RL months. I don't know what I was thinking before... but it didn't go un-noticed as I found out later.

Oh, with my first "outdoor" character (8 or 9 months after I started playing), I used to often fight while mounted.   I didn't know!   That PC was solo most of the time, so it didn't dawn on me until a tribemate yelled for me to get down off my mount.   No wonder combat seemed so hard sometimes.

Oh oh, I did what Boggis did as well. Now, how did you guys get your notes from? I want to look at mine too. Probably would be something like, blatant killings in the rinth, a miracle no groups took care of him. To my defense, I add, that was my first rinthi.

You pc's butt must have been glued to the mount. What luck to survive till then. I get thrown off ever so often, heh. Hell, I have trouble fighting off my mount..

Armageddon is best when it's actually harsh and brutal, not when we're only pretending that it is.

I remember the day that I woke up and finally realized that after b*tching about twinks for years that I was a huge-arsed twink myself.  

Every character I made instantly knew how to travel from Tuluk to Allanak while avoiding Gith (there were many more back in the day).

When I suddenly realized that my characters shouldn't necessarily know this route within their first few hours of game time (god knows why I felt the need to go one place to the other so soon) then I started playing the game, instead of just mudding.

You forgot moving from Nak to Tuluk in less than one day, or even in the span of only one 'time change'.

Quote from: "Anonymous"Now, how did you guys get your notes from?


Send a polite email to mud requesting your account notes.   It might take a little while (since a request like that is low priority).  When I say a little while, I mean two or three weeks.

Me (to another PC I met on Caravan Way): Hey there, do you think you can give me a tour of the city, I am new here.

Other person: What?

Me: You know, just show me around the important places?

Other person: You are asking me?

Me: Yeah, why do you ask? You seem like you could use a little fresh air and exercise no?

Other person: Hmms, very well, just this once.

Me: Follow <other person>

Me: So, what's your name mate?

Other person: Lord Rendias Borsail.
