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

[ShaLeah]

Mine was somewhat like this but only stupider if that is possible. Ummm Krath I can't talk about it it hasn't be a year yet. I'll check back in a few months when it has been a year.

You are not alone.

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.

Funny enough, my stupid thing has to do with this exact incident, or well...I am the one who bled out,  but the funny thing is that before my char joined the 'Three' Moons, he was with the Byn and before he was with the Byn, he was a green ass noob, or more I was. It all started when I decided to go out salting and for some reason went off course and fell into that same place. I was alone and solo rp'd for like a RL week or two and he was nearly to starving/dehydrated when some Red Fang comes wandering in and miraculously doesn't kill him, but leads him out, helps him get his lizard and tells him that he's going to be an asset of the Red Fangs, think he called himself Death. Hooked him up with some stump who paid his way into the Byn which led to him joining the Three Moons, which led to him dying in the exact same hole some ig years later.  Oh irony, I know you well.
My only thought was you have got to be *bleep* kiddin me...

[Fujikoma]

(actually, I likely shouldn't post that)

[askaran]

Back in like, seventh grade. Was my third character and second Bynner. Was playing darts in the Byn barracks and decided to see what would happen if I threw said dart at Bones... After that I played an Elf Merchant, so bad decisions all around

[Derain]

I may of admitting to burning a certain inn down..

[Thomoto]

First character, fresh out of char gen which I had spent three hours on because I was too lazy to read the docs at the time.
I had a skinning knife and a helmet, that was all.

I may of admitting to burning a certain inn down..

I miss that Inn!   Though a lot of my characters died there... so... its probably for the best

[Dar]

Played Giant's Fist as Avell and gave his name as 'BerklovesTuluk', emailed about that - 4/21/10

Nodik says: ""let's see. reading the report now" - 4/17/02
Please watch to make sure he's not abusing his powers. - 4/17/02
Exchanged mudmail with him. He's trying and wants to do well - 4/19/02
But he's a newbie in a difficult/advanced role. Needs direction - 4/19/02

First of all, I made a 'no dick' character who ended up the one sole living PC private of AoD in the city devoid of PC templarars, or other aod soldiers. The ENTIRE CITY WAS MINE!   

[tarkas]

Made a vivaduan named Susej.

Was emailed back with a denial, and a "Jesus spelled backwords is STILL a bad name for a character."

Love it.

Also, once locked the door on a reynolte soldier to kill him, and it turned out to be the dwarven killing machine that was Thanos.  Did not end well.

Also, one of my incredibly powerful dwarf in the crimson wind, saw a silt lurker disappear.  So I went after it.  And, just like the lurker did.  Sank into the sea and died.
25 some days played.. what an incredibly bad way to die.

[RabidMuffins]

For some reason I can't even comprehend, I thought you couldn't flee while mounted and that you'd have to get off and hoof it... that never worked out well.

[DesertT]

Has nobody said, "Fall in love?"

      

[Saiseiki]

Has nobody said, "Fall in love?"

      

D'aww!

[Grogerif]

I once fell off the shield wall three times in one RL hour.   Now it was because of the stuck key on one of my keyboard.  But the dumb part is that I kept playing whilst trying to fix it. 

[Medena]

Has nobody said, "Fall in love?"

      

A number of my PCs have fallen in love.  But the stupidest thing I've ever done was as a Fale noble when I did something that caused her to be put under house arrest and then, ultimately, be stored.  And it was 100% player error.  Totally my fault.

So, you may be asking, what's love got to do with it?

Well, when Lord Templar Samos (by then he was Greatlord Samos Rennik) came into the Fale estate to place my noble under house arrest and believe me she was in SOOO much trouble, she chose that unlikely moment to confess her love for him.

[valeria]

The stupidest thing I have done and will probably do again is walk in a direction when I think I know where I am, without looking in that direction.

[only_plays_tribals]

Riding off the shield wall and KO'd while my PC was lecturing someone about carelessness and distracted.

Or.. the 40,403 times I've continued along armed with a skinning knife right before attacking a tembo/carru/rantarri/kryl/spider/etc.

Also almost everything that ever involved kryl.

[WarriorPoet]

I have been killed by my own mount at least five times.

[John]

I have been killed by my own mount at least five times.

I don't feel so bad for my once!

Also "I wonder what a mesa is" and "Oh. This looks interesting. I wonder what's around this corner" is probably up there for my stupid deaths.

[Hauwke]

I once talked a guy into going into a place that looked safe. I had no idea what was in there before hand, but apparently it's silt. So sorry that guy, I had no idea.

[MatisseOrOtherwise]

I think I was there for that.

Wild.

We all learned that day not to walk [redacted] in the [redacted] dens.

Okay so, it has happened twice then lmao.

[Grogerif]

I often die from my character doing stupid shit that I know better about.   Then there are the deaths where I become so invested that I forget to eat and drink.  Of course time passes much more quickly for my character, so hey starve to death or die of thirst before I do.  Lucky for me.

[PriestlySiren]

I got separated from my side during the HRPT war between Tuluk and Allanak. I see a wall of people like 'Oh, these are my people'. I go that way, look around. Everyone engages. Flee flee flee. Dead. Those were not my people.

[perfecto]

Wait? ...  Yeah!

Also you have to dismount to fight still right? 

[MatisseOrOtherwise]

Dumbest thing I ever did was actually on my namesake character! Half-breed called Matisse got harrassed by a corporal of the Arm in the Gaj, and my being ridiculously new to the game (my only prior character dying in the sands to a scorpion), did not know that listen was a skill that people had and could use.
I put up with the harrassment like a good breed, then the moment the corporal and soldiers left, I said "what a dick" out loud.
He came right on back into the Gaj, subdued her, and I was like WTF WTF WHATS GOING ON WTF and tried to flee - he told me to stop resisting, but I didn't understand because newbie and didn't read much of the code relevant docs - and so he killed her.
RIP Matisse, you were too dumb for this world.
