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

[Barzalene]

The semi-buff ranger chick says, in sirihish:
    "We can take them!"

Most of my dumbest things start with this phrase.

I hope I haven't posted this already. I once insisted on a public death by demanding more gith to fight in the arena.
Templar: Do not embarrass me.
My pc: Don't worry Lady Templar. This will be beautiful.
Beep.

Most of my dumbest things go like this:

The average-buff ranger chick says, in sirihish:
  "Sure, let's go!"

Wishing up for the stupidest things:

Yesterday:
"My stun went down just like that and I don't know why!"
Staff: "you're using the Watch command"

Searching the WHOLE room for a particular item, not being able to find it. Wishing up for it cause going insane. Staff mentions it's in my Inventory.

Out of game, but still face palming:
Calling out a family role call without a proper heads up/approval from staff. Yes. I admit my mistake. I was just too darn excited. Quaeso redona me, staff.

[Barsook]

i cried in a bar one time. there were two pcs there. i never cried in the game again.

I also got someone else to cry at a bar.

[Wastrel]

Spamfleeing a special staff animated sentient.

Eventually caught up with me but I already ruined the mood.

[Zoltan]

Took a contract to tame a tarantula for a templar. Queue unarmed fighting of tarantulas and... smelling salts. I felt kind of bad ordering the group's lone ranger onto that spider...

Writing this post reminded me that there is a very fine line between awesome and stupid.

[TheWanderer]

Went all Karate Kid on someone in a tavern. The guards did more than just taking out my leg.

[Wug]

When I first started staffing I accidentally teleported a skeet into the Sanctuary. Players rolled with it like total bosses.

[Wastrel]

Oh, resting on a cliff. That wasn't too smart.

COuple years ago I had a pc in a pc made group called like "Two Moons." And it was filled with people of just plain awesome that helped me become a better roleplayer. Now I'm playing a ranger and I knew how to get to red storm, but I hadn't realized the way there had changed. So I happily lead two of my best friends out the gate, start heading there with the route I know, and suddenly we are falling, and it's raining inix and beetles.

One died instantly, the other bled out, and I lived. Super awesome rp, but man, I still feel dumb.

Oh, My beetle lived too.

[Wday]

always forget to arm myself before attacking a meanie! Somehow I forget to when it comes to fighting something big.

Awesome is stupidity done with style.

Yhea. I took a quick breather on the shield wall once. It didn't last.

[Fredd]

Oh! I got a noob stupid mistake. It was my first PC on Arm, I was in Raul's Byn. We ended up doing an escort, and my guy (Mason) ends up left in Luirs due to me needing to log off. Mason was a big guy that used a sword in two hands, and sang morbid songs. So when I woke up, I realized I had no food, and no water. And I kept passing out when I was trying to talk to Raul. So Raul has a couple women come and give me some food and water,I remember not being surprised that it was women that were dong him favors. Then I meet this half elf ranger, and he offers to take me to Tuluk, but ends up taking me (as I realize years later) To blackwing, for some reason. On the way to Tuluk a wild carru appears! Breed ranger runs lie a bitch, Mason attacks!

End.

Never trust a breed. it's stupid.

Oh yes done this before.

>say (wiping ^me brow from sweat) Yay I finally made it up the cliff!
>say (starting to settle down on the cliff edge) I'm sure tired.
>rest

You sit down to rest.

You fall!!

typing "close pack"


That was one of my 'last' dumb mistakes

I don't get it...

[Dar]

That is the sad thing about it. Anything else is IC.

But it was very dumb. About a rl week of preparation, innuendo, schmoozing with mages, criminals, and merchants, and organizing the appropriate time with players and Imms. Involving a few PCs, chara development, doing awesome acts of bravery, courage, and acrobatics. Demonstrating skills of stealth, forethought, preplanning, and self-horn hooting. All of that ended with one typed command <close pack>



hangs head.

[Fredd]

I want to know now...

[slvrmoontiger]

If its over a year you can share.

[Malken]

My mate's mother.

True story.

Well, she was both the dumbest thing I've ever done in the game, and it probably was the dumbest thing I've ever done in the game, as well.

You sit down to rest.

You fall!!

It's even better than that, isn't it?

It's been a while, but I remember the echo to be more along the lines of:

You sit down the rest.

You release your grip and fall, you dolt!

[Narf]

I'm surprised there aren't a lot more "And then after breaking a mug over their head, I kicked 'em in the shins... and it was all over" on here. I always figured that was in the top 5 for player deaths.

You let go of the wall - bad move.
You plummet to the ground below...

[slvrmoontiger]

Yeah something along those lines. I don't know I was just doing it to cure boredom because I hate solo RP. I find crafting to be extremely boring unless I can sit and watch another PC screw up crafting just as much as I do then its pretty funny. I digress though.

So many dumb things I've done...

As a newbie character back in the mid to late '90s I actually fell into the crater in Tuluk. Thankfully that was back when no Karma was needed to play HG so I had a HG with incredible amount of HP so he lived. Actually I think his wisdom was poor so I think him jumping into the crater was a nice bit of RPing.

[Fredd]

You never really played in Tuluk until you've pulled at least one person from the crater.
