I actually think I won't be killing my newest charter off so quick. Figured that was news enough for an announcement.

Anyone else trying to get rid of bad Arm habits?

Playing too carefully.

I tend to have long-lived characters, because I tend to play them as cautious and at least semi-knowledgeable about the surrounding areas.

It'd be interesting to experiment some time, and see what kind of trouble I can make for my next character by playing her as just some dumb shit hick who doesn't know a ginka from a gortok, and goes off ginka-picking with a stranger who suggests it.

If you're going to intentionally try to get yourself PK'ed, be a sport and junk/bank all your coins before doing so, so some asshat doesn't profit from your silly experiment, heh.

Not idling so much.

I hope you all will be thankful.

I tripped and Fale down my stairs. Drink milk and you'll grow Uaptal. I know this guy from the state of Tenneshi. This house will go up Borsail tomorrow. I gave my book to him Nenyuk it back again. I hired this guy golfing to Kadius around for a while.

I will, I will!  I waited once for over 20 minutes for one of Bogre's PCs to respond to me before I ditched him. ;)

The secret to great RP is having the balls to be weird and the brains to make it eloquent.

I was once stuck in a locked room with one of Bogre's PCs for some ungodly amount of time. I thought he was linkdead. But you know, he may have been idling.

Y'all just needed to employ the advanced technique of treating his PC like an NPC; one-sided conversations and so on, use him in emotes, whatever. If you don't need him to pay you or something, you're golden.

Or another solution: Maybe we could get the imms to code the talk command onto his PC? Possibly even "list".

I've PKed for less.

Bogre and idling go together like "KAH!" and getting squished by the mount you just attacked.

> em A squadron of kank-flies, ten strong, flies in precise formation between @ and ~bogre, one peeling off at the last moment, perhaps in an insectoid salute to kank-flies past. Flinching, @ peers at ~bogre with obvious concern.

Now that would be a bad habit. :D

Ooooo. I would vote to support this! Can we do a reverse-list where he pays you? >.>



01) 1 half-month of work ... 250 coins (or whatever. O_O)
02) 2 months of work
03) 5 years of work

Etc, etc.

'Cause that would ROCK.

When he idles I get to dress him up in pretty outfits!

Well, now I totally know who Bogre plays, good going, guys!

It's pretty bad when your idling is so bad that people actually complains about it ICly, hah.

I'm giving this a try, too.

I never really minded the idling.

Not logging out when there's nothing to do/nobody around and ending up dying in an attempt at doing something fun.

Getting sucked into a scene and staying up way too late.

Emoting way too much, with way too much detail, in an attempt to bring the world to life around myself and my companions... when everyone is idling.

Maybe... if I do less, with LESS detail, when I finally pop out that badass, detailed emote... someone will actually take notice!

Yeah, that's a bad habit of mine too. It's too damn hard to break!
