Bragging (no ic spoilers please)

[Gimfalisette]

even the most awesome of players get kudos probably much less than they deserve. Therefore, I'm not bothered by not getting kudos,

I know how I'm reading this isn't what you meant. But damn it sure made me laugh.

I'M SO DAMN MISUNDERSTOOD AROUND HERE.

There there, Gimf. Go sit in the corner with your toys while we bring this thread back on topic.


I once had a 1-day character fight three beetles in a sandstorm and win.

I once got accepted for two sponsored roles at the same time.

One of my characters helped build a structure that is still IG today.

I once had a 1-day character fight three beetles in a sandstorm and win.

That is -very- impressive. I'm going to have to guess this was a special apped character.

My last PC died knowing sirihish, allundean, bendune, cavilish, kentu, heshrak, anyar, and the northern, southern, rinthi, and tribal accents. Was close to learning tatlum, nrizkt, and a secret other language.

And was literate.

[jcarter]

I got a staff kudos for dying.

It was bittersweet. 

[Maybe42or54]

I once was killed and reanimated and I got 3k for my efforts.

That's pretty impressive, especially when you consider that the accent code has only been in place for a couple years, and the Anyali clans have been out of the game for a lot longer than that.

More than one way to skin a cat.

Verified.

[X-D]

I had a HG legionair that when he died had Sirihish, Allundean, Kentu, Bendune, Cavilish, Tatlum...above ave wis and thug sub.

[Reiloth]

I once offered a character to follow mine around with a bucket to catch his shit.

In return he offered two 'bitches' that would be his slaves.

The shits were supposedly the size of Allanak proper.

He declined

The all-star armageddon thread forces me to post things because I just remembered a few older PCs and some hilarious things.

With one of my first PCs, my character (burglar/house servant) tripped over Vedalarin.  Or Quintus.  Hell, it was some big hoity toity Borsail.  Like, seriously, tripped over him.

Rather than kill my PC, he sniffed indignantly and somehow got this other PC, his aide, to give me a job as a servant.  Pearl was her name.

So freaking awesome.  Then I mention "oh btw I can break into houses" (little did I know what this even meant, since I didn't understand you had to train skills then).

I get used as some sort of liason (sort of) to the Guild with another notable guild person that you may see in stories:  Serpent.  Wow.  I just remembered this like today...and it blew my mind that I was around for some of that.

Then I took a break from Arm and came back and made another PC.  Cue next story.

I played an atrium PC (merchant/linguist) under Pearl, as a Host with one of my first long-lived PCs ever.

Got involved heavily with the politics of the South and with some other Merchant Houses and NEVER touched my merchant skill list because I didn't know how to do anything.

In fact, I was so code-dumb at the time that the only skills I used successfully were listen, languages, and contact. 

I don't even think I knew what barrier was then.

A staffer made the mudsexing my character was doing with another PC audibly heard in another room of the Atrium.  Cue hilarity.  "I was teaching her languages!  I swear!"

My next PC was a ranger/something that was a spice sifter in Red Storm.  Ended up going to Luir's with Shatuka because she was down for a recruiting trip.

That same PC lost (I shit you not) 6 House Kurac issue mounts.  Usually after we'd get into a fight and have to flee and I'd forget to hitch the mount.  You know the guy that you would always be pissed about leaving stuff around or being a general fuckup?  That was my PC.

That same PC was also one of the worst combat PCs in the game, ever, to get a combat leadership role.  EVER.  I shit you not on this as well, for I have no reason to lie about sucking the worst.

Wow.  Thanks for all of the memories, any players I mentioned here.  You are my inspiration.

I have personally seen what it is like when Imms dislike you ICly.


We were on a trip into halfling Territory, when a PC named Kerdon experienced it.

He had scan on, we encountered a halfling hunter and it was about 2 IC hours before dawn. There was a sandstorm and we were limited to one room away during the day. At night, it was like it this "You can't see a thing; sand swirls about you!"

Well, this guy just left the tent and was at full health when we lost total vision. Here is a sniper shot from a halfling. He was wearing a full faced helmet. So, the only thing ICly I could think of was, "The imms hate this guy."

A thin throwing knife flies in from the west and strikes a faint shape's head.
A faint shape cries out in pain.
A dusty bone-handled, obsidian hawkblade clatters to the ground as a faint shape releases it.
A faint shape crumples to the ground.

[Rhyden]

Well, if you were expecting nobody to die during a trip through sandstorming halfling territory, I'd imagine your friend's death was more due to poor planning than immortal favoritism.

But that's just me.

...There was the case of some fantastic dwarven warrior...

One of the best in the game.

Who used to go into the 'rinth and kill stuff.

..Back when there was no gangs, and no aggressive NPCs in the Labyrinth.

And he was killing some more NPCs in the 'rinth...

And an Immortal named Zagren saw this POWERFUL, FULLY-GEARED DWARVEN WARRIOR just killing people for fun in the 'rinth.

So he pops into a dirty muscular man, and sneaks, and SAPS the DWARVEN WARRIOR WITH A GOLD HELMET.   BAM right through the helmet!  Crushes the Dwarf's Skull.

So, next time you're doing something stupid, like killing NPCs in the 'rinth while wearing a gold helmet - THINK TWICE.


/Zagren told me this story while he was driving me to the APM in Chicago in 2001
//true story.

The imms make mistakes sometimes.  Unfortunately, the throw code doesn't know what kind of helmet you have on, and even imms can't specify what part of the body you want to throw the weapon at.  We also don't have 100% control over the damage we do with skills while switched into an npc.  The goof here looks like it was killing the guy in low visibility.  Maybe they were hated, but it was probably just a mistake.  I've definitely killed a pc before with an arrow when I didn't mean to, and I felt terrible afterwards.  Sorry, awesome Bynner!

[Maybe42or54]

I thought it was awesome. The knife was probably shot out of a cannon that was being blown by 4 unseen halfling warriors. Can't prevent that.

[deconstruct99]

I entered the Sanctuary naked, asked if anyone had an extra pair of pants then looked down and was suddenly equipped with a tunic and a pair of pants...then my character suddenly though: I should really get some pants.

I had man-sex with Mansa's PC. And it was a total IC Spoiler.

[Sakra]

My half-giant painted his inix silver. Because he thought it would get stronger.

Now there's -real- silver inix. I bet they just stole the description.

[Akaramu]

Nooo I came here to see slipshod's post. But he stole it. 

[IAmJacksOpinion]

One time I made a character, with the OOC consent of a Borsail Lieutenant, who was going to follow him around singing songs about his bravery. Think "Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robiin!" from Montey Python. But when I met up IG he put my ass through the Atrium. Now, I have a hard time getting into non-combat roles, and I love to take stupid risks. This is why I've had over 100 PCs in about 4 years. I gotta get some fighting done.

Anyhow, after a full RL month of "the fork goes next to the knife, with the spoon on the opposite side of the plate" I was getting REALLY BORED!! Not to mention the Lt I was to sing about the bravery of had stored. So one day, while the Host was having wine with Lady Borsail in some sitting room I wasn't allowed in by myself, I decided to idle in the next room and change my locdesc to "is here, taking a piss in Bob's grill." (Bob being the name of the cook who had a George Foreman grill set up in the next room.) Left it for about 20 minutes while I surfed the web. Not really good RP, but just imagine what one of them must've thought if either had typed 'look east' ?

-----

Was wearing my pants on my face in a sandstorm to protect it from stinging sand. (Oh yeah, did I mention spice?) They were caught by a wind and got hung up on the dragon statue. Had to walk bare-assed back to the bar and ask around for a fresh pair.

-------

My soldier was having a hard time dealing with some noble murders going on at the time. He was the only witness to see the killer. Didn't catch him. Was having harsh dreams about it when they were interfered by an immortal who gave me two emotes that held very vague clues toward who the killer was.

[Bebop]

I stole from a powerful character and lived.   

Temporarily....
