Bragging (no ic spoilers please)

[Is Friday]

I had a Tuluki bynner celf that once spoke to a traveling southron in a tavern. She pried into his life and tried to figure out what he was doing in Tuluk, finally grebbing from the mis-information he was providing that he was bounty hunting someone that was reportedly hiding out in Moontown. So, her being the elf she was, convinced him that she can authenticate a 'license' for a small fee, (none of which she was 'keeping' for herself, since a license cost the small fee.)

Needless to say, that was a pretty hefty amount of spice to be had with that fee.

I've had aerial combat complete with barrel rolls and loopty loops.

I survived playing a non-app'd slave for nine IRL months and got the t-shirt to prove it. 

[morrigan]

I had a character in the Guild who was told no less than 4 times by a high-up animated NPC that he was being stupid, and to stop killing everyone I worked with.

I have learned a huge amount of the combat code with only my second character. Most of it was from stalking the GDB off-peak, before an imm comes down and twits or censors the bit on mechanics. Two important little bits were ironically from guys who claimed what I was doing was twinkish, even though it was completely IC.. then I took a long, long look at why it would be twinkish.. and figured out the combat code from there.

Don't worry.. I'm a responsible enough player not to twink out my characters. Just going to use the knowledge so I don't have to waste so much time on sparring and focus on the fun part - RP training up other chars

I had a rogue Rukkian that managed to persuade her pal, the friendly Whiran, to fly her to Allanak. Then, while floating high in the sky above the city, she and her partner in crime attempted to take a piss over the city.

A lovely imm sent us echos of sudden gusts of wind that blew our piss back into our face.

I laughed until I cried when this happened.

I once kicked out an emote of waving at characters while falling passed them down a well during an intense scene.

I had an independent character standing by Eunoli when she passed out from waying.  Other templars were in the room next door.  I alerted said templars.  They made quick assumptions that landed my character instantly in jail.  He made it out unharmed.  <3 Eunoli.

Used to knock raptors out and have them chase my character down when they woke up.  Was a fun game of hide and seek in the desert.  One time, knocked out a raptor and shortly after walked in on a group of four magickers having a conversation.  The raptor showed up a few minutes later.  The resulting chaos was hilarious.

Dropped spice on travelers below with my Santa Claus whiran.

That same whiran performed Star Wars Episode I pod racing on a kank in the salt flats.

Said whiran used to freestyle dive off the Shield Wall and catch himself right at the bottom.

That is awesome.

I used a line from The Watchmen and didn't even know it with a long-lived assassin a lot of years ago.

To a young noble that trusted too easily: That's where your wrong, I'm not locked in here with you.. you're locked in here with me..

I became the cause for an escalation of violence between three rival nobles that ended with one of them getting offed by the other two. To this day, it's one of my favorite Zalanthan moments.

[spawnloser]

I had a vivaduan that would intentionally jump off of things so high that noone should survive... and needless to say, survived.

... I am so sad to admit that I figured out EXACTLY what you're talking about.  Well, narrowed down to one or two PCs.  There were a few people who started to be my friend and then ran off to give some lovin' with the random NPCs. 



^--- lonely, sad face.  *sniff*

My character currently has a bio entry: "Hammer Time?"..

[Linedel]

(I don't play currently, so will not be posting again.  I still send prospective players to the site regularly, however.)

Back in the bad old days (probably 94), I first headed over to Armageddon, because the players on the entirely PK oriented game that I ran said that Armageddon was a great game for PKing.  These players included Kelvik, and people that would later become some of the notirious Black Moon referenced elsewhere in this thread.  This is probably why I was.... really bad the first year or two (or three).

Unfortunately, most of this post is hall of shame, rather than bragging.

I ran an undead army through Allanak, slaughtering quite a bit of the town.

I never played a character that could actually fight.  However, the sorcerer below "beat" some pretty solid fighters by making them agree to a match bare handed, with points for touches, as his stats prior to the race-based stat assignment were pretty decent.

Even after coming over specifically because the PKing was supposed to be good, I don't think I ever actually killed anyone, or even tried.


The rest all apply to a sorcerer that lasted about 3 real life years, not sure his played time.

Character began as "the grey cloaked elf".   Yep, the bad old days.   As the grey cloaked elf, he "met" the chap that ran the Clearwaters, and was tossed into the desert.

Not getting the message to stay out of Clearwaters, he later "met" Stormslayer there.  Fortunately, Stormslayer was in a mood to train some apprentices, and demand they do things for him.   I never heard from him again though.

Just like everyone else from that time, I had half a dozen bronze maces magically turn to bone.

Character acquired his second really really bad short description at this time, as I was starting to get the point of the game.  Restringed to "the elven minstrel", or something similar.  I mean, I never had any character as bad as the sailor on port leave, but 2 bad descriptions no the same character is probably pretty rare.  After a not too incredibly long time, I requested his second description change, to something much more reasonable (with 2 more changes for age related reasons).

Had about +20 endurance worth of enchanted items at the end.  100 year old elf with more hit points than many half giants.

Carried half a dozen potions of various types the whole time.

Was resurrected twice.  Once to going linkdead on the way from Allanak to Luir's, resulting in a slight long description change, and modification to style (phasing out of the bard career).   The second due to Bran doing something in the 15 minutes while I was driving from work to home to continue in a somewhat major event.

Had "houses" in both cities, simultaneously.

Hung around with high ranking templar of both cities.  As an elf sorcerer.  Was on a trip to the tablelands with Kul, and sold some verses to a black robe in Allanak for the being-built temple.

Only had 30k or so 'sid, so vastly outclassed by those 6 figure guys.

Most of the true bragging I could do with this character would be after I started to suck at the game less, and might actually still be IC, 10 years later, so, I'll have to leave that stuff out.

When I came back for a few months a couple of years ago, I saw the thread Halaster had posted about why out-of-game chatting is bad.  I think this character was involved... I think I was the guy that the dead guy was talking to on the isca bbs, while I was talking to his double at Flint's, asking him how he got reconstituted after being eaten by halflings.  I feel quite guilty, and definitely ought to apologize.  To everyone that was involved in that, and everyone that Halaster probably killed in anger afterwards, I'm deeply sorry.  That's been tearing at me on and off the last couple of years since reading that thread.  If you guys ever need me to do something to atone, feel free to let me know.

this one time.. i had a mudsexx menage a trois with Xygax and Halaster.

A list for my own benefit:

Had a mul working for Kohmar.  Got word from his boss Ana that there was going to be a meeting in Allanak and they were taking the wagon down.  I had never been to 'nak and was completely lost.  This was OLD 'nak.  Meeting starts to gather and Kurac (banned at the time) even shows up.  Next thing you know a few templars show up and some Kuraci agent I would later (years later) learn was a bit of a badass was executed.  So I looted his corpse.  Pouched belt first.  In front of everyone.  Without an emote.  Some templar pointed a weird cube at me and I was asleep.  RL hours later I woke up and the streets were FILLED with corpses.  I had slept through the Slave revolt.  I find Ana and we hightail it to the wagon but not before a group of npc nakki slaves climb on board.  So here is Kohmar streaking up the north road with a hull full of escaped nakki slaves.  Go riots.

Another mul of mine found Ana linkdead in the Kohmar offices.  I killed her, stole her keys and silver, climbed in the kohmar wagon to steal it and was teleported somewhere and killed.  Ana was back by the time I had a new character in Tuluk

Had another character out on the north road fighting copper-skinned dwarves when a halfling came in and started pounding on me.  I ran until I could run no more but the halfling found me.  He waved when I hit 10 hps.  My next character was a halfling because of that wave.

Had a blackwing murder a certain J'karr mul and steal his silver buckled backpack.  Then decided to goto an auction in Luirs wearing the backpack for Khann and Co to see.  That character was force-stored.

Another character, a blackmoon this time, was visited and purged by Ness because my anti-blackwing actions were deemed to be OOC-influenced.  Anyone who has had a talk with ness in game knows they are one-sided.  This wouldn't be spectacular if it hadn't made it into Sanvean's ISCA profile:  "Oh no!  An elf stole a kank!"

I was the first Captain of the Fale guard, a half-giant, after the house was opened for play.  He knew nothing, had no skills and was generally piss-poor played, but I had fun for the few hours it lasted.

I've had an iron dagger.  I've had a ring of invisibility.  I've had a magick sword that corrupted my character so completely that he ended up stark mad in the mantis valley where he ...................  Speaking of mantis valley, used to farm the mantis npcs for fun bracers.

I trained under Sunjar.  I collected his sweat in jars (j/k).  I was in the Rebellion.  I ran the Guild.  I helped form Tar'kroh.  I had an Oash noble who decided it was a good idea to challenge Fatty Tor to a duel.  I was so disappointed with how that ended, I never even mailed my clan imm to let him know I died.  He was none to impressed :-(  No nobles since.

I once had a Kuraci who got FILTHY rich selling spice to kuraci agents (twink much?).  I then took my profits and gave them to a nakki templar to kill my pc superior.  100k and the templar just kept it and told Kurac what I was planning.  My next visit to Red Storm was brief.  The backstab missed (!?!?!) and I escaped back to Allanak, bleeding profusely.  Rented a backroom only to have an npc templar walk in and eat me.

I once purchased a wagon as an independant character for cash.  I got an email from Sanvean worried that all I did was twink for sid and that I had better change my ways.  Character didn't live long enough to take delivery.

One time I saw a gypsy in Flint's.  I told him to send -certain other name for tan maurk- my love.  I thought that other name was just some gypsy girl I had met.  Guess they were insulted because when I had my meeting with Khann (lots of my characters met Khann) instead of hiring me like he said he was going to, his kermit-skinned mul and two invisible gypo's murdered me after inviting me into a locked room.  I had 10k sid in my boots at the time :-(

I lost another character, I dont remember who it was to Khann and his hatchet-men.  It was in some random house in old-nak.  All I remember is:

The immense, ebon-skinned man closes the curtain.
open curtain;flee
You open the curtain.
The immense, ebon-skinned man closes the curtain
PANIC! You can't escape!
open curtain;flee
You open the curtain.

PANIC! You can't escape!

I've always been curious who was spamming more, me or Lod.

When subguilds and sap were new I made a c-elf warrior/thug and I knocked everything out.  I knocked runners out in the mess hall who looked at me wrong.  It was brutal.  Was forced to move to the rinth for some reason and proceeded to knock out to militia soldiers who came in looking for me.  I stripped them of everything they had and dragged and tossed them out of the rinth with only a birthday suit each.  Got a mail telling me not to spam sap after that.  Next day a dwarf assassin is backstabbing the crap out of me, east side to west side and back.  I spam sap in response and dwarf gets knocked out cold.  No more than 5 seconds later I'm frozen, Someone sends: You'll get an email shortly, and then the mantis head.

You can thank me for getting sap nerfed (whether I deserve credit or not).

Went spelunking with a couple mates once.  Found this neat old place where many a person has died pre-mature deaths.  Found an old door studded with iron and proceeded to chop it up.  We survived and got that iron out.  Then my character died from a cilops bite and being too full to eat a pill.  Later found one of those mates dead in the desert with another character and looted the iron.

Once faught, and beat, Bigby's crushing hand.

My only magicker to live more than 24 hours was flambasted by Halaster because I cast a certain summoning spell over half of the scrub lands.  Was never given a count, but I guess more than a few unfortunate souls ventured into those rooms.  I was also informed that that character had branched more spells at five days played than most 20 day chars ever saw.  This was accompanied by a stop being an f-ing power gamer comment.

Lol, Marc. That was awesome and amusing to read You're one of those senior players that make me think that I have a chance of getting karma after all. How many times did your karma get docked?
