get un-drunk and play? does drinking affect your playing or something?
Heh, I know it does for me. I've gotten a couple pcs killed because I went out and got plastered and then decided to log in.
I learned the lesson the hard way.
Playing drunk=needlessly lost pc's.
When I was playing a high-karma special app role that was doing surprisingly well all considering, I died due to being drunk IRL.
For some reason I thought I was in a marketplace, when I was actually on a silt skimmer, and typed:
>list
I blearily saw "You cannot do that here" or some similar message...No one to trade with.
So, thinking I simply was not near the appropriate vendor, typed
>n
You cannot do that while you're sitting, etc.
>Stand
>N
You drown in Silt.
I was sort of dozing at the keyboard and woke up to see a mantis head. Staff had a fun time looking at my Runlog, I imagine.
I have this problem sometimes, too. The solution is to stop drinking so much, you lush!
The other (related) problem I have is smoking up before I play. It rachets up my social anxiety to the point where interactions with PCs are just too stressful for me. It makes my solo-RP rock, though.
I had a character a few months back... I'm pretty sure I was under the influence of something every time I logged in with him. I wonder if anybody ever noticed...

When my social anxiety flares up, I do a generally shitty job with solo RP. I don't like the idea that someone could be watching.

Haha, what's that something? Give a hint.
On topic, I learned not to play drunk a long time ago after an interview for a certain northern noble house. I made a fool of myself and ate away an hour of someone's arm time... :(.
Playing tipsy, on the other hand, rocks.
Something about the idea of playing drunk depresses me...
I play drunk every now and again and because of that I tend to forget the things my pc's did that day. Luckily, most of my pc's are drunks so when I don't remember who someone is it's very IC! 8)

;D
I know what you mean. Though usually I have to be pretty damn ripped before I start to second guess my emotes etc...Arm and weed go together awesome. Not so much booze...I don't even bother logging in when I'm drunk.
YOU SHOULD TRY IT MAN IT'S PRETTY AWESOME.
I've never been drunk in my life... :-[
Most of my characters have died from drunken Yam
I'm too drunk to taste this scrab steak.
Uh that ain't scrab steak, pal...

Kindly remove your teeth from my ass please.
Back in the Expansion Division it kinda seemed like it worked a WHOLE lot better if you played whilst drunk. My favorite RPT ever was an excursion with the ED, I was not even remotely sober for that. Good times.
People in the Expansion Division got sober occasionally?
Sadly yes. I believed that's when I finally died. After the fog of booze faded a year or so after I started the PC.
I played in the Expansion Division for maybe 3 hours and was in a drunken stupor for two years after that.
I'm too nauseous to play, but I want to.
Happy Steak and Blowjob Day!
I'm too... awww, who am I kidding. I can play through this.

I had to laugh at this because it's 100% true for me, too. I just don't do it anymore.
Lol, gald I'm not the only one.

Method acting at it's finest.
I really appreciate this thread.
When I play drunk I get inspired to RP really elaborate emotes.
I manage to fuck up everything else though, like messing up syntax, forgetting what the character is holding, falling asleep...
Thankfully I always force myself to quit as soon as I get retarded ideas about going out into the wastes.
Mine die every time... >:(
I find full immersion easier when I smoke up before playing.
PS. Foraging is hella fun after a spliff.
When I'm very tired, my emotes and commands get paranoid and dangerous to others.
