Daily Arm Confession:
I feel really shitty when I do something mean to a newbie because I'm afraid I turned them off from the game by showing them the true nature of the grit. Especially if they look to have excellent ability to add to the game world. A lot of times my character will act in a way she may not in order to teach newbies things or spare them the harsh reality in order to keep them coming back until they can handle the reality. I feel equally bad doing both. The guilt is horrible.
Anyone else wanna confess and make me feel better?
I feel guilty when I don't log on, but then sometimes, in the same token, I feel relieved because it prevents my burn out and my dissatisfaction with a role or character.
Oh, also, sometimes I end up feeling horrible in regards to my current character, because I'm always dreaming and anticipating the next one. However, I think that anticipation and excitement regarding a role I've dreamed up also prevents me from being too sad about losing my current, to the point of not wanting to play or leaving the game for a while.
Forgive me, Ginka, for I have sinned. It has been 6 years and 314 days since my last confession.
I have committed murder.
I have lied.
First... I have never confessed, so I lied. Sorry.
Second... for the only PK that I have ever committed, oh, about 5 and a half years ago. It's my only one ever and I still feel really shitty about it. I even believe the unfortunate coded soul was link dead. I was but a noob-tween, as it was only my second PC. I still feel bad. I'm sorry, whomever you are for taking away that character and experience from you.

-I- feel really bad when those leaders who said they wanted the role stop logging in, it pisses me off to no end and I IC'ly expect a goddamned good explanation.
Then I feel guilty when I find out something really fucked up happened and they -can't- log in.
Then someone takes a week vacation and doesn't tell anyone and I go right back to hating on the absent.
Forgive me Ginka...
PK'd a an LD soul. I wasn't even a newb. I dug myself into an IC hole roleplay wise while my character was sniffing around them waiting for them to 'wake up'. The victim was a new character and if I had left them...well....they were totally dead anyway...but still. I feel bad. I should have wished up. Regret that one.
Also, being mean/shitty to any character that hasn't been mean/shitty to mine...always makes me feel bad. I'm a terrible player of 'bad guys'.
I try to avoid pking unless I feel my pc's hand has been forced. I just can not make myself go out of my way to kill someone or ruin their fun knowing how much I enjoy my own PC's. That said, if my hand is forced I never feel bad about it. You should have left me alone dude. :P ..Wait no there is only person I feel baldy about pking. Mainly because I found out later I got the wrong guy.
I feel bad for logging off really quickly all the time. I just don't have the long hours to commit to the game that I used to. I also have guilt for quitting out without an IC explanation when I'm solo RPing. I just figure that I'm going back to vNPCland and that my PC is actually still around, but I have a nagging suspicion that it's bad form.

Be cautious what you say. Thanks.

That was oddly poetic and heart tugging and makes me wanna play a dastardly villain. One that wasn't a breed OBVIOUSLY.
Forgive me, Ginka, for I have sinned. It has been 29 minutes since my last confession.
I have coveted thy neighbors boots several, several times. :-[
I feel enormously bad when I'm in a high-role-play character and role that deserves/requires having a lot of time to devoted to it, but life and work drags me away until I find myself logging in, checking to see if anyone's around with a few quick Contact attempts, then quitting out if I can't find anyone.
I haven't logged in when I have been expected to do so because I have been sick as a dog :(
Sometimes I just can't muster any new emotes when I'm grebbing for a morning. It always comes down to the same thing anyway and grebbing for something particular can be a bitch >.>
Forgive me Ginka,
I sometimes leave the safety and comfort of the city gates do to my OOC boredom. :-X Then die of course.
I get legit sad when I read over the PK logs I've collected in my 12+ years of Armageddon. The stories they weave can sometimes be unbearably sad and cruel.
I guess that's why I love this game. Very few things, let alone games, can invoke such a strong emotional reaction in me.
Oh, and I told some of these stories to my girlfriend, and I think her response was "I can't believe your character did that. That's... that's monstrous!"
Once I...
Nice try.
Suicide.
Storage.
Forgive me Ginka, you know I must have done something. But I'm not telling you what it is.
Hear my confession IC.
Ginka knows what I did, so I don't need to confess. And Nyr. Nyr's Drovian, in particular. Good heavens, that poor Drovian, he knows too much.
I always feel bad when I log in but I'm not feeling it 100% or even 70%. Then I get into interactions that just end up being boring or awkward in some way.
Related to that, I feel bad when I haven't read all the docs thoroughly and embarrass myself, sometimes with PCs that should know better. Who knew House XXX did YYY? I thought they just did ZZZ. Durrr...
edit: on second thought, I aint posting this

Me too. On both accounts.
I often feel relief when a longlived character has died. I try like hell to keep them from dieing. But when they finally do, my first emotion is usually relief.

Granted, sometimes I put them in insane situations.
Staff forgive my poor communication skills combined with tendency to get upset when misinterpreted. You're great and I try and keep it professional but sometimes I worry whether my tendency to get disproportionately upset over certain things creeps into my communications. :-[ It makes me really reluctant to do regular reports despite the usual thrill of response.

I have a love hate relationship with the drunk code.
When I'm waiting for replies to requests that involve stuff my character is working on...I always end up barely logging in until I know the answers...even though there's probably a ton of other stuff my character could be getting on with.

Certain <edited for content> make me wanna put them over my knee and spank them. Hard.
I often store on a whim, convinced that the current character is dried out and I'd be much happier playing something else. It always ends in regret. I should be branded with "poor impulse control" on my forehead.
I'm also having a similar urge right now.

Take a week, a day, two days, whatever, and walk away from the game.
I look back at the amount of characters I have stored and it bothers me too (very few storings don't) and I'm left with that whole, what if mindset. A week is a million years on Arm. It feels like I gave up.

I too suffer from this
I often -don't- store, when I should, because I always think "maybe next week things will perk up." And then they don't, and I regret not storing. For weeks, and weeks, and months.

I, too, have sinned this way.
I used to sin by suiciding characters I hated playing as, or got bored of. I have since gotten better. I only store them now, never suicide.
I store the second I get bored with a role, because I will magically know whether or not it is something I can fix.
Except for the special app I stored... I waited a good bit on that one. Like two days.

I feel sorry for you if you consider "2 days" a good bit to wait for a special app.
Waited like 6 months for one before.
I think she meant she waited 2 days before deciding to store, not that she waited 2 days for approval.
Dearest Ginka.
We don't see each other as much as we'd like, but I think of you all day. Which is just plain WRONG.
Apart from that, well, I still cringe when I remember what I said to that Breed. And I still shed a tear in my heart over that time I turned my back on that Gemmer at the bar.
Oh, and I'm sorry about that newb, but I was still a noob myself, and I thought if I spawned in Allanak, I was obliged to murder if I had the chance.
Forgive?
Please forgive me, every PC I've ever shared an apartment with, for I always emote doing something awful to you after you log off sleep and quietly snicker about it when you log back on wake up.
Please forgive me for leading my character, knowingly, into their imminent death. But I have to stay into my role ;_;

If it's a breed. We all forgive you. xD
Please forgive me for not throwing an emote out every time I practice my skills on a new character.
You have to understand. I've done it so many times now, that if I'm not sure that I have an audience, I just don't want to type anything extra. Especially with my wrists being what they are.
You get ONE emote per practice session on average, though. Just uh, use your imagination for the several skills it ends up applying to. :-X
Sometimes I feel like Arm has become like a cell phone to me.
I have to have it constantly nearby and even when I put it down (idle) and don't hear the ring, I still have to run and check it.
Sometimes I forget about it and RL gets in the way and I have that moment of sheer panic when I remember I was on and idling.
Forgive me ginka for foraging with a timer to free me up for some solo think/feel time in the wee hours in the morning... and falling asleep at the helm. :(
Forgive me Ginka, for I have sinned. It's been seven days since my last confession.
When AFK and coming back to tons of ways and can't get the people back when I try, I suffer from guilt.
It's also easier to hate elves now that I played one.
...it has been twenty two years since my black heart first began haunting the world of Zalanthas, and I haven't ever confessed to anything, nor will I.
I've played the most vile, despicable and EEEEVUL characters and have done (titillatingly) unspeakable horrors to the characters of others.
I have no regrets. I have no remorse. I have no shame. After all...
Evil means never having to say you're sorry.
And being a naughty monkey adds a whole new layer of joy to it all!
MUAHAHAHAHA!!!! ;)
Forgive me for being extremely irritated about the fact I crashed somewhere in god knows where and everything works but ARMAGEDDON! I have a very short fuse, I am restless, anxious AND I NEED MY FIX AND I DON'T WANNA DIE OH GOD HELP MEEEEEE ;_;
I have sinned and have something to say
My internet connection is too poor to allow me to play.
So while sitting here bored, I post on these boards
And poke fun at Calavera all day.
Oh...and I also wrote this really bad poem.
You'll fit right in up north.

Maybe? If so, I suppose I enjoy this kind of RP more than he does.
Yeah, no one was talking about going OOC I don't think.
Yeah, I mean pointedly going out of your way to rp in a way that implies a criticism of someone else's play.
I haven't logged in to play seriously in quite some time, and it's not because of boredom. It's because life is far too busy for me. Still, I feel that I have sinned against you. Bless me, Ginka.

I did this once to Barzalene (I think, maybe Bestette or something) like ten years ago when I first started playing. I asked why none of the NPCs I was killing in Allanak gave me xp. I got an email from Sanvean shortly thereafter.

Forgive me Ginka, for I apparently sinned many years ago. When I first started playing, I made up a word doc so I could remember certain nobles houses. Unfortunately in that quest, I somehow managed to make the brown cloaks nobles. Forgive me. :-\

Forgive me for screaming at my monitor for hours after the death of my character for my new character to be approved. :'(

Have you ever held someone down while your buddy killed them? That totally counts.
Forgive me Ginka, I have gotten very irritated by people who constantly have their hood up as if protecting their ldesc makes them mysterious!
Forgive me Ginka when I sin. I'm always forgetting to sheath my weapons, lower my hood, put my tools away or put such things on my prompt. ;)
Forgive me ginka, for at the time I didn't know that creature was in the place at that time and omg I remember that and now I feel so awkward it's like im in my high school locker room for the first time tryin to figure out if I was going to shower or not. >_<; (haaaaaahaha *facepalm*)

Ginka.. since ShaLeah is complaining on something close to my own sinful complaint - I will get on the boat...
I must confess that I cringe every time I see someone who hasn't used TDESC to separate their MDESC from their equipment with a blank line. It looks so much neater than the jumbled alternative. Ginka, am I alone in these tribulations?

P.S: And Ginka, if someone must be struck down for these complaints, ShaLeah will understand when you pick her. She's played Armageddon so please make sure to emote.

Sometimes I post under an alt account and then go to reply to something else and feel like a rusty, old, blunt tool.
Whenever I roll up a character with ideals and motivations that will probably piss off the local militia/powers that be, I always get this nagging temptation in the back of my head to make the s/mdesc as vague and uninformative as possible. :'(

emote doesn't allow, making your efforts in typing your last line a total waste, and resulting in awkward silence while you figure out what to do next.
My sin: I let stuff like that bristle my gristle. I shouldn't. But I do. The "if allowed" thing feels to me like a "ooc please acknowledge that this has already happened, or invalidate the entire emote." It's awkward. Why not instead do something like...
emote aims the sticky note at %amos back, and steps forward in an abrupt lunge at !amos.
and then, Amos has the chance to decide whether or not the sticky note landed on his back, or if he noticed the lunge out of the corner of his eye and shifted aside, or if he saw it clearly and reached to grab your hand. At which point, you decide whether or not your hand gets grabbed, and Amos doesn't need that "if allowed" thing at all.
I can't help myself feeling demmersed (what the hell is the opposite of immersed?) when I see that "if allowed" phrase nested in an emote. I want to get over it. I need help!
"Lunges" is awful strong wording. Myself, I hate typing "if allowed" or "if not prevented", but I've heard complaints about things before, power emoting and such, I usually just go with whatever someone else types, would rather do without the whole thing, asking for permission, no, I grabbed the back of your head and applied significant force toward the bartop. But whatever, I usually toss it out there because I'm trying to be better about my emotes, more considerate of how someone else may react.
I suppose there are better ways. I will have to think more carefully.

I am pretty sure I know why you see the if allowed bit - because it's shorter. We are always looking for shortcuts. I share that annoyance at that phrase. I usually try hard to make sure the emote is acknowledged.
Also, the best antonym I can think of for immersed is disinvolved.
Me too. Just do it and deal with the reaction ic'ly.
I don't feel so alone then. I was worried people would think I was being overly persnickity for having this opinion. BTW I don't act on the opinion in any kind of snarky way in-game, I do just roll with it. The reaction is strictly a "behind the keyboard response."
I agree with you Lizzie. Emotes should be presented in such a way that you leave the recipient open to decide what the action was. But you shouldn't be typing that you're giving them that permission in the emote, the example you gave is a good one, present the action, don't force the reaction on the recipient, but leave them the choice of response.
When I do stuff like that, and I can't get it to sound natural enough, I usually tag a 'trying to' onto it.
emote swings ^me leg out, trying to hook %amos leg and trip !amos

I don't mind it so much. It's polite, at least, on an OOC level.
That being said, unless it's a power emote fruit smashing sort of emote in regards to my character's grappled head or something, I just go with it. If someone emote pinches me, I'll emote back that my character flinches, or whatever. I mean, who dodges pinches?
I agree with mama Boog. IRL there are always unsolicited contacts, a brush of a shoulder as one passes, a pat on the shoulder in greeting. There are even some IC room emotes in taverns like this, where people brush against you.
The problem is when it is something that would seem unusual IRL (like a punch or a kick) or something that is more initiate and would require consent. Frankly if someone wants to tap my PC on the shoulder to get her attention IC, then it would be anti-immersive to seek permission, or even to give my pc the opportunity to let them. Just do it!
My PCs often give a light touch on the arm or hand when interacting with others. Usually not with strangers though. No one has complained.
Sucker punches happen IRL, take it from me - I'm the recipient of many a yorker, and I'm a high-strung martial artist.
Just belt one out if you want. Unless the person's Superman you're gonna flog him in the nose at least once.
Forgive me Ginka - I haven't even tried to murder anyone today!

I refuse to vote UNTIL HALF GIANTS ARE RECOGNIZED AS BIGS.
Your move, staff.
Bless me Ginka for I have sinned - I thin anyone who calls half-giants Bigs in game sounds like an idiot.
/me braces for the backlash.
Jeezus just call half giants giants. Let's kill this once and for all. Almost everybody thinks it's a good change.

I don't even know where it started, it's recent isn't it? It turns my stomach as much as the the lack of punctuation.
Oh God I feel so much better getting that off my chest.
How about "half 'tards?"
Oh! Or 'Lennies'
Singular would be Lenny.
How about scoobies (or just 'doos')?

I almost reported someone for giving a newbie ooc code information in game.
I also refuse to call them "Bigs".
I'm fine with giants calling everyone else "Littles" though.
Calling everyone else "Littles" as a giant seems to fit their simple mentality.
Calling giants "Bigs" as a non-giant makes you seem like you have a simple mentality.
I almost feel like the "Bigs" thing is being done in game as a bad OOC joke that too many people are playing along with.

I think it's more that people think giants are cute.
My sister in law does this sort of thing with my niece (using her vocabulary).

They do it when they aren't talking to giants and giants aren't around.
I also think it's cute/funny when giants do it.
Sometimes I hear horror stories about things and cringe.
Sometimes I hear the people responsible for these things have been fired and I rejoice.
My confession? I feel zero fucking guilt about that rejoicing. Heh.
Reading the Chronology and City Elf webpages often leaves me guilty of the sins of envy and wrath.

I rarely if ever give the wisdom stat the respect it (maybe) deserves when it comes to my characters' roleplay.

Well, I'm willing to be the bad guy - the antagonist. But I don't just want to be the asshole.
That was sort of tongue-in-cheek. A curt way of saying seek your own enjoyment and let others worry about their own. :D

Good advice.
I haven't felt fully invested into the game since I lost a ~2 year PC to a sincerely crappy, nonsensical PK.
I can't decide if this is a good or a bad thing.
We all have moments of burn out, frustration and disheartening.
It passes.

I find this old motto works for the death of Arm characters.
"Nothing like the next one to forget the last one."
Do it.
Once I realised that not everyone is pushing the same plot, I stopped caring about what other people are doing. If someone is doing something that I don't understand the motivation for, I just assume the motivation is there but hidden.

This makes me sad. If you don't watch what others are doing, you'll never learn their motivations, so you'll never figure out why their pushing that plot, and whether you can use that to the advantage of one of yours. Too much like politics, I agree, however, it's how I see a lot of plots evolve in the game, whether players or PC's are aware of it or not.
I will admit to being mostly uninterested in driving or participating in Plots for a majority of my PC's though. I prefer the exploration aspect of the game too much, and Solo RP a lot of the time.

This had sorta happened to me recently, but a good character got me hooked all over again.
It's just sad to come face to face with the fact that there is a segment of players who, once they leave the tavern, are playing like this is basically a hack and slash.
Some of us don't even leave the tavern.
Ginka, I've not been fooled by these heathens. Armageddon is a hack and slash and the top tier of dungeons are the cities.

I've actually never thought about it like this before.
Suddenly everything makes sense!
Oh, right. I totally forgot.
Bless me Ginka, for I have sinned:
I never thanked the players of the leaders who really gave me slack and did their best to help me on my first character (okay, third, but I don't count the other two because of their incredibly short time spent as my PCs - mistakes were made). Hey, so... I know some of you won't know him 'cause I totally forgot to sign up for the Byn Forums, and some of you do know him because I totally signed up for your forums and was a royal pain in the ass, but... thanks.
I like to think I've gotten slightly better since those days, and you've had a part in it.
Ginka,
Once upon a time I had a hand in killing a PC that was loooooong lived. Many had tried to kill this PC before. No one succeeded. I did not want to kill this PC. Then the PC crossed -my- PC. The bridges were burned and amends were not made. And thus I, with all the RP reasoning and character development one could muster over a few months, had a guiding, manipulative hand in killing this PC...
After that, the player of the dead long-lived and active PC quit Arm and (to my knowledge) has never returned.
That's the sad part. And that is my confession :(
How would you know?
Quote from: Nyr on June 13, 2014, 02:06:18 PM

I mean unless you really do know for sure, you can always pretend otherwise. I've been in similar positions--it is tough to deal with knowing you (or your character, or the organization, whatever) are killing someone that is active.
Worse is killing someone that you know is innocent (as a player/staffer or what-have-you), yet you go through with the execution/murder/etc because all IC signs point to "yes."

It's the leaving that sucks, not the death. Death happens, due to age or murder or accident. It sucks that the player left but I can relate, as someone who's long lived character died unexpectedly. I basically quit Armageddon of nearly a year after that. But I'm back, and it's possible that the other player has come back too. But you can't hold yourself responsible for that.

I concur everyone should try playing drunk at least once in their time playing. Its a lot of fun and a great way sometimes to stir up some RP situations be them good, bad, or indifferent.

I have made my character drunk when drunk attempting. Problem is I can't type or keep my eyes open and it takes me three times as long to type out a single emote or say and I'm already a slow typer.

Must be hard to play if you can't keep your eyes open. I'm not a slow typer, I am a very slow reader though, but I think whenever I've played drunk it's come off as a good time for all that were around. Drunks act slower too so you don't have to type fast or keep up with the flow of things. You could just start laughing out of no where about something funny someone said a few minutes ago and then when everyone looks at you you just say you finally got the joke.
