Shame (the opposite of bragging)

[Riev]

I once logged in for Thanksgiving, only to find that a certain animated mob had already run amok, and because I had not actually PLAYED on Thanksgiving before, I was ICly and OOCly unable to comprehend why nobody seemed to care.

This was recent enough that it was last Thanksgiving. I've been playing for five years.

While trying to get out of bed this morning, in my sleepy haze (not helped by the 4am bedtime and 8am alarm) I was physically stopped by the need to emote it out just in case anybody was watching

Had a long-lived, absurdly badass warrior killed by a certain poison nasty because I didn't know you could eat tablets while blinded.

Big difference.

I didn't think you could eat tablets while blinded (which never made sense to me anyway)

Having an extremely long-lived, pretty badass ranger die of cylops poison because my neighbour knocked on the door, I didn't come back and my ranger was standing outside, unarmed because I was foraging. In the logs I noticed her knock the cylops out a few times, then eventually die to the poison. With pills nearby.

That is a personal Armageddon nightmare of mine, something like that happening to a PC of mine. Scarecrow sends you sympathy.

Meh, probably half of my early characters died to link-loss, back in the day when internet connections were much more unreliable.

You died a lot to experimenting with code in the labyrinth, too.

I got my ass kicked a lot experimenting with code in the labyrinth, but deaths were usually to lag-outs or link-loss.  Remember, the reel code just went in a few years ago, so it used to be much, much easier to flee (provided your ISP was fully cooperative).

My second character (and the first one to live past a few hours of playtime), at 15 or 20 days played, decided to eat a steak she found on the road. Got paralyzed. Got picked up by the first group of soldiers of a certain house while paralyzed. Their lady fainted, the character was blamed. Endless discussion about whether or not to kill her, while I couldn't even emote. Getting dragged back outside, into a tavern, back out and getting killed in an alleyway, still paralyzed.

That sucked.

These days I think it was actually a pretty cool death.

[X-D]

Ate a steak you found on the road...thats great. Not an elf I hope.

Human ranger with plenty of food

Shame:  Getting so wasted that I passed out when my character was piloting a wagon...

More Shame: ...while my minions and a hired group of Bynners were downstairs.

Super Shame:  A staff member had to finish piloting the wagon back.

I currently have "30 days, 9 hours, and 1 minutes" logged in on my GDB account. This is far, far longer than any PC I've ever had.

8 days, 8 hours and 50 minutes

3 days longer than longest lived PC.

I currently have "30 days, 9 hours, and 1 minutes" logged in on my GDB account. This is far, far longer than any PC I've ever had.

I'm at 21 days, 3 hours and 38 minutes.

Quite an accomplishment if it was in-game.

[Synthesis]

Total time logged in: 107 days, 5 hours and 52 minutes.

I'm pretty sure I play the GDB more than the actual game.

[Winterless]

I just crossed over 39 days while here at work...

Total Time Spent Online: 39 days, 9 minutes.

[manipura]

Though I started playing in 2001, I never made a GDB account until about a year ago.  Shame, I suppose...

Anyway, total time logged in: 6 days, 13 hours and 49 minutes.
Not as long as my longest lived character.

With one of my newer characters there was a PC walking down the road with no mount.  After speaking to him it was clear he was newish.  I told him I'd escort him back to the city and instead lead him out into the scrub until he was exhausted them proceeded to try to kill him for the only nice thing he had on him which was a decent looking crossbow.  (The sad thing is I'm actually snickering about this as I type it.)  He runs away, I hunt him down attack.  He runs away, I hunt him down attack.  He's so exhausted he can't run far.  This happens a few times.  Finally he is to exhausted to flee and he cries, "No wait!  There's an underground!  With treasure!"  I kill him anyway, but before I can collect that sweet crossbow he disappears in a poof, apparently not even being a few hours old.

Another shameful thing I did was being in Salarr as one of the prominent hunters there.  There was a new character that just annoyed the krath out of me and it was my job to try to teach him how to hunt.  We went out to the Grasslands to hunt and he began a commentary on every single thing I did, talking in Tarzan talk some of the time.  Finally, annoyed to the brink I tell him fine - you guide us.  I ride along at his behest certain that we'll come across a poisonous creature if we head eastward long enough and he will die or at least need to beg me for a cure and shut his trap.  So we do run into said poisonous creature and he actually survives but his role play consists of the most annoying stupor ever and he still decides to continue chastising me as I have subdued him and am dragging him back.  So after a day and night of this misery I subdue his half dead ass and begin to haul him homeward, we pass a bahamet which I quickly out run - dood in tow.

And then I stop... consider the circumstances I have found myself in, retrace my steps to within one square of the bahamet and type - release zachky.  Zachky was never heard of again.  It was kinda mean and maybe I should've been more newb patient but it -was- kind of hilarious.

I once found a rare magickal item in Mek poo.

I once purposefully did everything I could to piss off important people in Tuluk and right before I got arrested I bolted onto my kank whenever kanks could go forevar and lead one of their assassins on a chase from Blackwing to Nak because I was bored.  I quickly found out there isn't much of a crimcode in Blackwing.

Yeah... Only the first two are pretty shameful - The first for OOC reason and the second for pure IC fun

I once had a Rukkian who subdued and threw a carru down a certain large hole in the Tablelands. It fell about 9 rooms and died. I'm not sure which was more humorous... Seeing it fall, or actually finding it dead.

Also, I once accidentally junked a songbird. In public. And decided to play it out as me eating it. That was interesting.

[MeTekillot]

You can codedly eat songbirds.
