Shame (the opposite of bragging)

[EldritchOrigins]

I once saw a guy break into the house just north of what was then the Bard's Barrel.  Because my character was a murderous jerk, I followed him in and killed him, just to get a feel for killing another player.  It left me feeling empty and sad.

I once invited a friend to play a role, but he kept doing dumb things so I had to order him killed.

I blamed it on the player who executed the order being a twink.

He quit playing the game for quite a long time, complaining about all the twinks.

Way back in my noob days I once died to a tregil and maybe even a vestric or two.

I suppose this is the correct thread to post this in. I'm not proud of this and it took me quite some time to redeem myself. I had a fairly salty half-elf assassin that was working as a spy for the north. Said assassin was double-crossed and in turn ended up in the arena in 'Nak. I was given very little in the way to defend myself and death was all but certain. In attempting to make the most out of my death my character shouted this out right before the mantis head was seen,

"FREEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Took me quite some time to earn back the trust I lost and my account notes do reflect my love for Braveheart.

I tried walking over to a room, and climb code was auto-initiated without my consent.

Isn't there a consent rule for this stuff!? xD

"FREEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Old son, every northern patriot who dies in the Arena hollers that.  Every single one.

You are no longer making saves for mudsecks.

Here's my brag - I had a militia PC (lifesworn) who betrayed his city-state to join the other - Then betrayed -that- city-state to join the Plainsman, in one day.

The same PC died a real-life day later, his head most likely cut from his body and delivered to the first city-state he betrayed.

What bites is that he was mere in-game days away from going somewhere "safe" and hopefully getting involved with alot of awesome sekrit plots.

I don't know... I know running out of stamina during a tembo chase is always REAAAAAALLY bad for new chars. Also, my first char play IG was also my first experience with poison. That was... fun.

But falling off the cliff is about as shameful as it gets, man. That shows that not ONLY was I a moron at the time, but that the code EXPLICITLY wanted to kill me.

I think my login record was 22 hours when Sorn Tallid, myself, and the rest of the crew got lost and seperated in the middle of the tablelands.
God, I wish I could remember that Vivaduan's sdesc or name.  He was the first magicker that I was around for extended periods, and he was just plain awesome, especially after dragging my Krath-Struck, exausted bum all half the way back to Nak.

I typed 'n' instead of 'l n' and set all of that in motion.  Several hours later, I had to go afk for half an hour or so.  I swear I was mounted and following, but I wasn't thinking entirely clearly by that point, so I may well not have been.  When I got back, everyone was still right where I'd left them.  I never had the guts to ask if they'd just been waiting for me all that time, especially as it was all my fault to begin with, but the shame has haunted me ever since.     Worst.  Outing.  Ever.

The magicker's nickname was Slappy.  He was the fat, cherubic man, and also completely awesome.

I once fell off a giant cliff and survived...and then promptly got eaten by a mantis.

Ahh, how far I've come. I just need to find Seen-her now.

[Winterless]

I once had a 7 day warrior who was traveling for the first time from one major city to another and was alone. She was so proud of her glossy, black inix that she had just purchased. ... ... Until said inix decided he'd like to try to make like a verrin hawk and fly off a cliff instead of going the way she urged him in. So, with my PC upon his back, Mr. Inix flew off of the Shield Wall... or, rather, we plummeted like a boulder in a rock slide. When the ground met my PC to say, "Hi, would you like to look like I pancake?" I didn't die but got knocked out. Finally, after coming 'round my PC was all alone, she struggled to get up, looked around and saw Mr. I-think-I'm-Special-and-can-fly in the distance grazing happily as if nothing had ever happened. She went to retrieve him and instead was retrieved by a gith who wanted the freshly made brain soup in her skull from the fall. The end.

Awesome concept, awesome magicker. Nothing probably could kill him but I was always unbelieveably careful anyway and I was more into solo RP, I only killed scrabs when I craved for different food. As I travel one day to a spot out of the very light storm to perform some magicky stuff, I saw a look desc telling me that there's a huge fall just couple rooms away from me. I decided, "Eh, let's take a look down then move away for my solo-RP."

Seems the room I thought that was the 'edge' wasn't an edge in the literal meaning - still a fall room. I got really pissed that day because I had woken up willing to roleplay that day and if one of the ~10 people I tried to contact was online, I wouldn't go out to do something interesting.

I wonder what my account note says; "Died to gravity. Amen."?

I love how it's almost shameful among veteran players outside a military clan to initiate a request for a sparring match.

I do it anyways.

Veteran players don't do it because it's dangerous, not because it's shameful.

The last thing you want to be is 20 hp down with someone in the room who -knows- they can kick your ass.

In a nutshell..... I've gambled on it a few times before, but never unless I've got a good gut feeling about it.

No mishaps so far.

[X-D]

Done it quite a few times.
Never had a problem.

Though I figure most of them were with Hot_Dancers PC(s).

[Hot_Dancer]

On a light derail: Been there. Doesn't happen in Arm so much though as other RPI's that boast
more frequent skill boosts at character generation. In Arm you usually know whose been around
longer when a confrontation looms.

Sometimes I pretend to be afk around players or characters I don't like.

That explains it.   

[Bogre]

Sometimes I afk around charactors or players I really like.

[Jingo]

I afk alot.

Sometimes just because I'm interested in a few minutes of net surfing.

[AmandaGreathouse]

I afk a lot. Usually to smoke cigarettes since I can't smoke in my house.
