HAHA! When my restaurant moved into a new building, there was SOOOOO much stuff from the restaurant that closed down there five years ago... I so won the "apartment" game that day.

I remember playing an elf a few years back and acting like a kleptomaniac in real life...

I remember marveling at all the useless junk peope just left around. Ripe for the taking.
Now you're looking for the secret. But you won't find it because of course, you're not really looking. You don't really want to work it out. You want to be fooled.

I apply my real life kleptomania to my elf characters.

Ok here it goes... When much like christmas as a child I remember being to excited to sleep, and then waking up a few hours after finally falling asleep to rush out and open presence. Then spending the day in a uphoric state of alertness, and dazed tiredness that washed the body in these warm tingly charges as I would pass out and walk up to keep playing and eating..

Yes, Arm is that way for me... each time I have a day like this in game it brings a viseral feeling of those childhood days.. so much I can even taste the day in my mouth.. oh wait thats the wired coating  I get from waking and sleeping and waking... and being thirsty.. oh Ha ha.. well figured that one out. But still... It goes remind me of christmas.

*giddy little fists reach timidly into the air infront of my chest and waver back and forth as I cheese for glee*
The funny little foreign man

I often hear the jingle to -Riunite on ice- when I read the estate name Reynolte, eve though there ain't no ice in Zalanthas.

Your awesome, Potaje.

I hate to say it but I play for the rush. Just those moments that make my heart jack-hammer in my chest, the blood in my face feeling like it's on fire.

It was a rush I never received from any other form of roleplaying.

When every time I go to the Armageddon home page and see:

Armageddon is a highly modified DIKU MUD,

I see

Armageddon is a highly addictive DIKY MUD,

Every single time.

Think Poor cricket...

... when you catch yourself getting a tad emotional at the keyboard. Ugh.  ::)

I really wish I had the ability to store people's names in a text-editor IRL without them noticing it, like I do now in Arm.

The arrow swift, the Gate is strong.

This is bad when your boss finds his name on the list and it looks like this:

The balding, chubby man - Roger Stevens - My boss, wants me to write up a report on how shopping for clients can be included in their rehabilitation. Bit of a jerk. Snogged his wife at the christmas party.
Quote from: MorgenesYa..what Bushranger said...that's the ticket.

When you decide to go to the club, and think >Forage hottie.......

You search the dancing figures and find a monstorous horror

craft Horror

With a few more shots you could create:
A slim blonde figure
A slim redhead figure
A slim brunette figure

Craft horror into redhead


You begin downing shots of anything you can find.

Clans can give stat bonuses and penalties, too. The Byn drop in wisdom is particularly notorious.

Worse, Kol wakes up, turns over to find the monstrosity is a male half-giant..........

Oh the perils of Jagerbombs

Starting at around 9pm last night I played until I was too drunk to continue, idled until sobriety only to play into the wee hours of the morning.. still drinking. It's 10.30am, and bedtime fellas, ladies. My character is still alive and that in itself is a feat worthy of a badass breakfast before I nod off on the couch.
A staff member sends you:
"Normally we don't see a <redacted> walk into a room full of <redacted> and start indiscriminately killing."

You send to staff:
"Welcome to Armageddon."

The word 'Fuck' has entirely left my vocabulary.

Luckily, 'Feck' has replaced it.

Feckin Sirihish!

... when your first-grader has heard you talk about Armageddon so much that he can knowledgeably tell you all about this "elf" he has who "kills carru," "lives in Tuluk," and "has lots of gold."  (Apparently the stone-coin thing hasn't sunk in yet)

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