What is the dumbest thing you have ever done in game?

[chrisdcoulombe]

Stole a wagon.

This sounds more awesome than dumb..

Oh it was awesome, there is more to the idiocy. Like Sokotra said I too had no idea what to do with it.
Its been over a year, but I don't think I should go into detail just yet anyway.

When I was young and fresh newb, on an old account I can't even remember, I had a character named Nassir in 'Rinth.

This was back when Gin and his crazy crew were calling the shots.

Who refused to cough up protection money?

This guy.

I was there for that. Don't feel too bad, it's a common occurrence.

I rushing into Allanak looking for a quit room when in a hurry because of the girlfriend. Forgetting you have spice on your character, then getting almost wtfpwned by the guards in your panic. And then the guard bugs out and freezes somewhere inside the noble quarter for some reason in the middle of a sand storm. Kindly staffer helped me out though. Thank-ee!

The guard/noble quarter thing happened to me once too...but I decided to rp it as an escape. Ended up having my tongue removed for lying to an NPC templar. Was pretty damned awesome.

[Clavis]

Stood still trying to figure out if the thing that was pinching me was an echo or a mob... Come to find out my first char should of listened to someone.

kryl equal way to much to handle for newb!

[spicemustflow]

It would take me a day to write all the crap I did and it's not even funny/cool/stupid, it was just plain stupid. Like trying to cut up a mul with my 1 day elven warrior. That was my introduction to muls and why people walk on eggshels around them.

[Fathi]

At least it gave a lot of people some RP.

That remains one of my more memorable Armageddon experiences. Finagling your body out of the 'Rinth and dragging it back to Ceylara and co. was hilarious.

It's tie between...

Probably my worst was during a chat with a noble, where I casually mentioned that I was a pickpocket.

The noble was pretty understanding. She decided to 'hire' me as a spy and information seller. She told me to go out, find information, and report back to her. For whatever reason, my 14-year-old newbie self thought she meant, like, RIGHT NOW. So I ran around, desperately looking for 'information'. I came back about 15 RL minutes with the following hot piece of info:
"There's a man selling waterskins in the bazaar."
Also...

I've only PKed one person, and it was a complete and total accident.

Protip: when playing a high-powered Elkran, double-check your targeting before throwing those lightning bolts about!

To whoever that was... sorry. Sorry. Really sorry, man.

Favourite thing in the entire thread. It's the waterskins that makes it for me.

I am almost positive I played that noble. Was it Eodetta Oash?

Here is another one....

When I was a nublet back in the day I decided to start a character out in Luir's. It was the first time I had done such and I had never really interacted with nobles or merchant family members up to this point.

This character might have lived five hours, all of which had been spent walkiing around buying starting gear and sitting in the tavern in Luir's, but for some reason I still remember his name, Renu Sebatyn. I have no idea why I remember that. I have a good reason for remembering that he was the muscular, gold-eyed man though.

I see a guy sitting at the bar pull out a tube of spice and light it up and start smoking. Up to this point I think this was probably my first time ever seeing spice codedly smoked in game. So, I do what anyone who hates smoking IRL would do, I give my character that personality quirk and I say, looking over at this disgusting smoker-man in anger, "Hey, why dont you put that out so the rest of us can breathe dumbass?"

Pretty much it went like this....


"Oh, hai, I'm Danu of Kurac." I dont remember if Danu was a family member, but I know he was extremely well regarded and high ranked within Kurac, I think I remember him being a family member though.


Anyways, I was drug off by some nice fellows in dun cloaks, put in a back room, told to apologize which my stupid character would not because he was sure he was in the right, and then I had my eye cut out, stepped on beneath a well placed Danu-boot and then I was killed for being a moron.

Stole a wagon.

[Shepard]

1. When I was new, following someone who told me to follow them, into the Ruins of Tuluk

2. When I was new, following someone who told me to follow them, and listening them when they said just go down there (pointing to a well)

3. Drinking poo

4. Joining the Byn with a Delf

This happened to me. And then they attacked me when I was linkdead. Long time ago, though.

[Kronibas]

Stole a wagon.

That could have been the most awesome thing you did in game... If you got away with it.

/got away with it

[Cind]

I could say get disconnected in a dangerous place, but that's not something I've done willingly.

and when you reconnect, its like... WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED

[perfecto]

Leaving the computer when ARM is running is the worst idea anyone has ever had. Just saying.

OOC:  I'm just gonna run to the bathroom, and maybe grab a snack, and then make a brand new character.... SHIT!

[Malifaxis]

I don't have a log, but it went a little somethin like this.

say (sighing and adjusting his black silk cloak, then checking the straps on his hand crossbow) Well, Exalted Lord Samos, I'm sorry you feel that way.  I guess our business is done here.

say (rising to his feet, his skeleton earring swaying lazily at his left ear, the eyes glimmering as he bows) I bid you good day.

emote walks past ~samos casually.

hide

feel like he really needs to take a leak.

emote Out of the view of ~soldier, @ unlaces his silk pants and pisses on %samos robe.

(wait, wait, wait... Samos stands up, shouts something)

emote yanks up his pants and hauls ass out of the tavern.

Subdue war beetle

I'll see your subdue war beetle and raise you a "subdue inix."

I mean fuck, man, I /really/ wanted out of that gulch.

[Kronibas]

While playing a Kuraci agent, I loaded up a bunch of folks and went to the deserted mul outpost to try to make an alliance with them.

When they asked what I had to offer them, my character ripped apart a bag, spilling spice all over the place.

After that, the muls were less keen on trading and more keen on murdering us all and taking the wagon as well as the spice.


I'll never forget Cowboy's golden line during that scene:  "mul on board"

There's been way too many instances where that line's been put to use.

I was a Kadian Hunter, last I heard it, about a year and a half ago.

[Archbaron]

One time I fell into a deep hole in the desert while riding an inix, and I couldn't get out. Hours go by and I start to starve, so I killed my inix for food and half-failed my skinning attempt.

I died holding a hide.
