I actually think I won't be killing my newest charter off so quick. Figured that was news enough for an announcement.
Anyone else trying to get rid of bad Arm habits?

I'm trying to break my kleptomania. ::)
Playing too carefully.
I tend to have long-lived characters, because I tend to play them as cautious and at least semi-knowledgeable about the surrounding areas.
It'd be interesting to experiment some time, and see what kind of trouble I can make for my next character by playing her as just some dumb shit hick who doesn't know a ginka from a gortok, and goes off ginka-picking with a stranger who suggests it.

If you're going to intentionally try to get yourself PK'ed, be a sport and junk/bank all your coins before doing so, so some asshat doesn't profit from your silly experiment, heh.
Not idling so much.
I hope you all will be thankful.

I will, I will! I waited once for over 20 minutes for one of Bogre's PCs to respond to me before I ditched him. ;)

I was once stuck in a locked room with one of Bogre's PCs for some ungodly amount of time. I thought he was linkdead. But you know, he may have been idling.

Y'all just needed to employ the advanced technique of treating his PC like an NPC; one-sided conversations and so on, use him in emotes, whatever. If you don't need him to pay you or something, you're golden.
Or another solution: Maybe we could get the imms to code the talk command onto his PC? Possibly even "list".

I've PKed for less.
I've heard tales about ole Bogre the NPC. Good times.
Bogre and idling go together like "KAH!" and getting squished by the mount you just attacked.
> em A squadron of kank-flies, ten strong, flies in precise formation between @ and ~bogre, one peeling off at the last moment, perhaps in an insectoid salute to kank-flies past. Flinching, @ peers at ~bogre with obvious concern.
Now that would be a bad habit. :D

Ooooo. I would vote to support this! Can we do a reverse-list where he pays you? >.>
01) 1 half-month of work ... 250 coins (or whatever. O_O)
02) 2 months of work
03) 5 years of work
Etc, etc.
'Cause that would ROCK.
We do actually love you, Bogre. In case you didn't know.
When he idles I get to dress him up in pretty outfits!
Well, now I totally know who Bogre plays, good going, guys!
It's pretty bad when your idling is so bad that people actually complains about it ICly, hah.

I'm giving this a try, too.

We do. Just not the idling ;)
I never really minded the idling.
Falling asleep at the keyboard.
Not logging out when there's nothing to do/nobody around and ending up dying in an attempt at doing something fun.
Getting sucked into a scene and staying up way too late.
Emoting way too much, with way too much detail, in an attempt to bring the world to life around myself and my companions... when everyone is idling.
Maybe... if I do less, with LESS detail, when I finally pop out that badass, detailed emote... someone will actually take notice!

Yeah, that's a bad habit of mine too. It's too damn hard to break!
Most of my characters (the ones that are not stored) are members of the Suicide Club, which I'm not proud of at least. I suffer from the chronic restarter's syndrome, which means I always want to play the thing I'm not playing at the moment. I'm sick, help me.
Write up the entire concept and tuck it away in a folder on your computer.
Save them for an NPC call or your next character, when the current dies (of natural causes).

I have this really bad, as soon as I get 2 or 3 days into my slick talking merchant, I think of an awesome concept for a thief, then 2 days into him, think of one for a warrior and so on and so forth.

I'll try that. The worst part is when I realize how much fun the killed off char was and try to recreate him later, ending up with a pitiful copy. I would give anything (when I say anything, I don't really mean it) to have a chance to play one of the good ones again. I have almost 70 chars, and am slowly running out of ideas... Good thing I need to take a break from the game anyway.

lol, tell us your story friend, open up :) I feel you
I need to focus on not letting my roleplay go to pot as soon as it's an even semi-dangerous scene. :-[
I think I have the opposite problem of everyone else, I don't really enjoy writing or thinking of detailed character concepts and backgrounds, all of my
characters have very simple backgrounds, maybe five to eight lines top, but strangely enough, all of my characters also live to be in the 50+ days
of played time.

I think that's my problem, more often than not my backgrounds are very detailed and specific and I'll find myself not being able to do something IG that I as the player may want to because my character wouldn't, which leads to me thinking up another character that would fit for that situation. I don't know, maybe I'll start writing up less detailed backgrounds.

I have to ask, how long have you been playing for?
Let me think. I made a really long break after my third char was killed for talking to a Templar as if he was a mall security officer but let's say about a year or so now. Give or take a bit, I'm not sure.

Using the same emotes and similar emotes too much. Big problem with this.

Indeed. Half of the corpses you've ever stumbled upon in the game are mine.
