Damn, it took me a while to realize this...but this game is about player interaction and the various roleplaying scenarios you get into with your PC...NOT training your skills.
When it all comes down to it, it's about the bonds you make in-game with your PC that makes them enjoyable to play and exceptionally memorable. Your twenty day warrior with the maxxed out slashing weapons who rarely interacted with the game would be less memorable than your skill-less beggar who created an RP session each time he logged in.
Just something I'd like to share with you guys. I'm sure this has been mentioned before...but now there's one more player amongst the enlightened.

emote fiddles with something, back turned
hemote twists off the cap of ~eyedrops
use eyedrops
You use the eyedrops. A drop slides down your cheek.
say (turning back) It's touching. Really. I'm happy for you.
slip eyedrops cloak
emote smiles and wipes away a tear
EDIT: I'm messing with you. It's cool when you realize stuff like that. I liek epiphanies. They make less idiots.
Welcome to Armageddon.

Heh, messing with you as well.
While I do like killing off n00bs in droves. It's always fun to do so with other n00b killers that I have established IC relationships with.
Thats what it's all about. Killing n00bs in character with IC friends.
PS: I am, of course, just kidding. Good for you man.
PSS: Well, I'm kind of kidding.

PS = postscript. PPS = post-postscript.

No.
Get it the fuck right.

Yeah, with my current PC I feel I've reached the end game as far as skills are concerned. And then I realized his skills haven't mattered for about 10 days played and since then the social aspects have all been key.
High skills can be fun, but they aren't what makes Arm such a great game.
High skills are only fun if there's people around to appreciate them and use them.
I'd love to play a sorcerer, but I'd feel kind of bad I didn't really have anyone to be in shock and awe of my amazing powers, or to at least put them to good use. Being a strong-arm cog in the machine is fun.
Sweet. :twisted:

And not packing 99 steaks into a backpack because you can and the cook always makes more!
I love you man. You're right on the money.
Yep, you know you got Armageddon when you suddenly realize you have no idea when you last ran the skill command to see if you branched anything.
There's a skills command? :wink:
Well since I'm the most modest here. I hit skills after every spar, fight, travel, and when I'm bored, along with score, and stat. Even if I've branched everything in the book, I still hit it, (soi habits) and hit it, and hit it. For apparently no reason at all other than to look at my impressive list of skills.
And I know I'm not alone, if the IMM's logged use of the skills command. We'd soon have a memory leak and lag hell. And endless spam, cause I know all of you use it.
Pfft, don't know the last time you used it? Yeah right.
I'm with FightClub. My logs are unbelievably cluttered from me spastically spam hitting skills, score, stat, look, look me, time, weather, assess -v, and pretty much everything else that doesn't echo (mostly), at any given time, even when interacting with others.
Ya'll are slow typers, I'm telling you.
I type skills the most.
Yet, I still can roleplay!
Shame on you for not being part of the "I play mostly ugly characters with poor stats that never use their skills." elite group!
I believe the game is about playing a role out properly. Whether he interacts with lot's of people, or uses skills, or not. It's about using your imagination to take you into another world; where you can do, and be what you want, as long as you select the right background.
P.S: On another note, I only ever typed in skill twice with my last character. I do like to look at my score quite a bit though..
and that's only because I hate prompt popping up on my screen all the time.
If I'm playing a PC, I type skills a lot too!

You know there's totally no reason to. And yet!

To freak out the imms who monitor my every keystroke?
Not training your skills? Impossible for me, man. The game's interaction for me. I always feel the urge for more and more and more interaction. More skills I have for the use of people of power, more interaction I receive. So all my warriors spar, all my rangers try his/her skills to become better, all my merchants craft whenever they don't have anything better to do, all my pickpockets attempt stealing and all my mages have regular practice sessions.
And I type 'skills' a lot. Especially whenever I'm forced to speak to a slow-typer, I often type "skills, stats, sc, weather n, time, ...."

I shall refrain from commenting on both of your dorkiness.
Oh wait...Look I did.
Damn.
