Shame (the opposite of bragging)

You can codedly eat songbirds.

It troubles me that you know this.

[Archbaron]

So awesome, though, I haven't really played around songbirds since.

[Bebop]

The **** woman smiles softly as she watches you feed the songbird.

eat songbird -casually
Casually, you eat your purple-feathered songbird.

The **** woman stares at you.


I actually had a gith do this to me.  He knocked out my character and then proceeded to eat my songbird.

So I'm still less than 1 year old in arm so I'll keep this pretty vague...

On a road riding along. See some elf uphead it alone with a an sdesc that I saw before.. totally ICly to start some shit with this character. Sneak ahead. See elf is with a bow that is loaded. I'm pretty excited to see someone since its like WAY off-peak now and I think "Wow! A raider! Cool! Mmmm.. OK.. Lets out raid the Raider! Also its totally ICly.. cooooool. Finally!"

So I sneak into the room, start to try my emote-fu in hemotes/semotes/thinks sneaking up to the player. Whole time this player isn't doing ANYTHING but I don't pay attention since I'm trying to emote out. Even skipped a hemote and put in a say where I kicked a rock and cursed right before I snuck up beneath the elf.

So.. I attack. Fight goes on WAY too long. I was REALLY early in the characters life. Few days at most. Barely was able to KO the character. So I subdue the character, drag it away someplace quiet.

After many more emoting.. turns out this elf has NEARLY the same sdesc as the character I thought it was.. and was an NPC that was misplaced.

Raid Fail.

Sounds like perfectly good involuntary Solo-RP for me.

I singlehandedly dodged four years of action and awesomeness. I missed the kank diseases, the gith invasions of '07, the awesomness that happened in the Tablelands. The golden year of Tuluk.

This is a shame, because I was playing the entire time.

[Barzalene]

What were you doing?

[Sam]

I was in the Tablelands while the Allanak thing was going on.
I was in Tuluk when the Tablelands thing was going on.
I was in Allanak when the Tuluk thing was going on.


All along, I was asking where all these people were when I typed "who."

[Malifaxis]

I'm Malifaxis.

[Akaramu]

I have no idea who warlord Mallor Tor was. or 80% of the PCs people brag about, really. 

To my defense, I've played very much on and off in the past 3-4 years.

[Marshmellow]

Yeah, most of the people you all brag about, I've also never met.  I have no idea half of what you're talking about most of the time in this thread.  I haven't played off and on either.  I know who some of them are, like that they existed, but I didn't know practically any of these people.

[Wolfsong]

One of my (few) account notes mentions Mallor in it:

"Insulted Mallor preeeeeetty badly while on the first mission against the -------- --------- things. Badly enough that had any NPCs been alive to hear it, it'd get back to a superior and he'd be executed."

But that's it.

[spacewars]

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

I've had this happen more than once (SHAME)

[Gunnerblaster]

PC #3 found PC #2's head with a coin stuffed in it's mouth...

PC #3 took the coin.

I've come to accept the fact that I am utterly worthless outside the gates in terms of having a sense of direction. I've never played a ranger or scout, but  I am relatively confident if I started north of Tuluk, with an escort, I'd manage to find my way into the Silt Sea by the end of it. It's really that bad.

[Goldberry]

I too know very few PC's that are mentioned, but that's because of my own lack of experience, especially in Tuluk.   

I do, however, know Mallor Tor.  He was involved in a lot of different things when he was alive.  And he lived a long time.  Mallor is responsible for raising Tor from lower house to middle house status.  He had his hands in so many different things, that I think it would have been difficult to have an Allanaki character during that year that didn't have contact with him on some level.

Brag/shame: I played Bozi the Tan Muark.

Shame: She's one of the few characters I've had that had more skeletons in her closet than most graveyards and more baggage than most major airlines, and insisted she drag me along through all of it...and I've only myself to blame for putting her into said situations.  She was my experiment in "playing dangerous and awkward situations out to the hilt."

....that's not really shameful, come to think of it...I've never had a character I had so much fun with.

Disregard.  Move along.  Nothing to see here.

[Thunkkin]

Disregard.  Move along.  Nothing to see here.

For random giggles ... the first, third to last, and last time the word "Bozi" appears in my logs (and no, our chars were not close).

First time (with bonus Voular):

Hefting up his dull wooden cask under and arm, looking around in a predatory squint, the hunched, weary-eyed man asks, in southern-accented sirihish:
     "WHERE ARE THE WHORES!?"

Lifting up a hand to point northwards, the willowy, onyx-braided woman exclaims to the hunched, weary-eyed man, in sirihish:
     "THATAWAY!"

Gesturing to the henna-toned young woman, the gimlet puce-eyed woman asks the braid-tressed young woman, in sirihish:
     "Have her join me when she wakes up Bozi?"

Third to last:

At your seat, the slender, raven-haired woman says in sirihish:
     "Cita and Bozi both passed out."

Last:

You think:
     "I wonder what Bozi is up to these days ..."

My shame:
Managing to be the acquaintance of numerous awesome characters but hardly ever being involved in anyone's life when it's all said and done.

I had that character for just shy of two actual real life years.  And I can remember the scenes that your logs pull up, excepting that last thought.  If I spent long enough on it, I could probably remember every point of that woman's life, from a snippet of conversation or scene.

..I don't think I'm ever going to get over the "character burnout" that I had when I stopped playing her.

[IAmJacksOpinion]

Every time I take a break from Arm, something cool happens. Copper Wars, rain/darkness/volcanos, Gith Wars. I log back on after 3-6 months and ask myself "WTF?"

To be fair, I did hear about the Copper Wars from a kid I went to school with who Armed. Thinking that sounds fun, I created a character with all the craziness and fervor of Stephan from Braveheart. (That was my rubrick.) My sole goal was to join the war, and kiss templar ass while saying crazy and patriotic things.

I was deemed too crazy for the Militia and told to join the Byn instead. Not wanting to play another Bynner at that point, I went back on break.

Also, I don't know who most of these cool people are either.

Welcome to the club. Here, have your member card.

It's really that bad for me, too.  If I can't follow an exact given trail I have written down with the directions - two rooms in a different direction, and I'm hopelessly lost.

Map? The staff encourages it in one of the start up docs. I graph papered soooo much Zalanthas in my first year.

I always got to a point where they didn't quite line up, I realized I must have made a mistake trying to graph a certain way, and my map was henceforth unsalvagably inaccurate.
