Shame (the opposite of bragging)

[RogueGunslinger]

Yeah check real-life assumptions at the door in any RPI, that's what I've found is the best.

[PurpleParrot]

I typically do, but I occasionally get tripped up.

I've caught myself a few times before I faux pas'd though. I nearly told someone to 'look it up' once and almost talked about the placement of letters in names...which ICly, I wouldn't know 'cause duh, illiterate! Heh ^_^;

Also, I've stopped myself from sarcastically saying, "Magic!" when someone asks how something was done. Woo, willpower against my RL tendencies!

"How'd that get up there?"
"Magic!"

Would be BAD. -laughs-

[Morrolan]

"How'd that get up there?"
"Magic!"
"Sharps!"

[RogueGunslinger]

"How'd that get up there?"
"Magic!"
"Sharps!"

It just, like, sprouted legs and totally walked, man. Tek as my witness.

[Dar]

A few of my human con artists managed to say something like, "I totally fucked with his mind. When I was done with him, he didnt know left from right."  Or something similar like that. That's how you get a mind bender rep .

I am a terrible elitist when it comes to people who start emotes by using your character and then continue to address them but instead of using !^# (etc) they use his/hers.
It's an instant immerzions remover.

I'd much rather see YOU than my sdesc and sort of feel that it could easily be achieved and why hasn't this changed since I know I idead it 11 years ago and everyone should feel like I do.

I am coming to the realization that I am much more Tuluki in my play than Nakki even though by FAR I prefer Allanak's grittiness to the nuance of Tuluk; the characters my characters hate have zero clue.

I have newbies showing me shit on the game I had no idea existed even though I've been around way longer than they have.

I have way more karma than I deserve.

I'm with the karma police, I need to confiscate some of your excess karma.

Arrest this man. He talks in maths.

Imposter syndrome.

[jstorrie]

They buzz, like a fridge, or like a radio which has been incorrectly tuned.

[Kismetic]

I'm stoked for Radiohead.  Not even two weeks.  I'll take pics if I can.

Oh man. I love Radiohead...but was so dull live.

[Iiyola]

We're going pretty off topic here. Unless you're ashamed of Radiohead.

I ashamed of the GDB police that I associate with in this community. :p

[Kismetic]

And this just feels like, spinning plates.

Requent many forums? They're everywhere.

[Dar]

I actually got pretty frustrated with a pc I ran once. He had some mild to very outrageous hemotes and nobody ever (almost never) reacted to them. Sometimes I was like ... Am I really so damn stealthy, or they choose not to react, wtf.

[Sav]

I hate when I do something that's influenced by RL common sense or preferences and then am ridiculed by other PCs IG. The most recent incident is too recent, but on a different game, it was cold and there wasn't a bathhouse, so my character using my stupid "common sense" didn't bathe after getting blood all over her from WATCHING someone else kill something.

Word. The first few weeks I played I had a constant mental litany of DON'T MENTION WRITING DON'T MENTION MAGIC DON'T MENTION WATER. I still have to catch myself from using verbs like "drowned," and sometimes they sneak through.

Honestly, what catches me up all the time is IC tolerance of homosexuality. Every single MU*/RPI I've ever played on had major OOC bias against gay players/characters, major IC bias against open homosexuality, or both.

Elves, magic, variable post-apocalyptic tech levels, gender equality, godkings, sure! No problem! No one caring who my character kanks as long as they're the same caste and species? What is this I do not understand.

[Reiteration]

I feel that drowning could be a valid verb, it wouldn't be common, but I can see some poor smuck drowning because he was so thirsty that when he got back to his clan compound he stuck his head in the tun and never came back out.

[bcw81]

Or, you know, Tuluk.

[Samoa]

I have heard 'drowning in silt' plenty of times.

Amos, he was so thirsty, he leaned over that cistern and tipped hisself over and fell in and he couldn't get out no matter how hard he kicked.

Finally he smothered.

[Feco]

This is what I always figured.

I used fish once.  I don't remember in what conext.  I felt like an idiot the very moment I hit enter.

[Synthesis]

Babies can drown in very little water.

[Dar]

Yeaaah. I imagine after the events of a few years ago, the word "drowned" have inserted itself into the Zalanthan lexicon, at least in Tuluk. Especially for denizens of Undertuluk, those guys probably even know how to spell it.
