Title: Armageddon Confessional
Post by: RogueGunslinger on March 14, 2016, 02:45:27 PM
Come ye weary Armers and repent! Father Gunslinger is here to hear your sins and bless you so that you may live forever in the heart of our lord, Ginka.

This thread is for amusement, or for areas where you aren't doing well and want to improve.  IT IS NOT FOR VAGUEBOOKING ABOUT THINGS OTHERS ARE DOINGS THAT YOU DO NOT LIKE OR PRETENDING YOU SUCK AT SOMETHING BUT ARE REALLY SECRETLY COMPLAINING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE WHO SUCK AT SOMETHING.


I confess to needing to take a break from the game for a bit, but having little willpower to do so without another hobby to fill the void.

I confess the more I play in this state the more my roleplay diminishes.

I suffer the witch to live in game because I'm afraid of my PC getting fireballed.

My characters all rapidly (if temporarily) become the same character when it comes to combat.

PK reports remain my favorite kind of report, even as I try not to kill anyone anymore.

I confess I sometimes do:

rather than:

just so I can keep waying with someone.

I feel bad as a player for the pariah-PCs and always feel bad when I kick them IG.  

I kick them again for making me feel bad about it.

I get too attached to my characters and it prevents me from taking risks with them.  I've probably missed out on a lot of fun stuff because of it.

I can't enjoy most of what I see Arm as because I'm an achiever/builder type player and I believe that, outside of mastercrafting and political role-play (which does not appeal to me), there isn't really anything in place in the code or world for me to build.

..I also have an wandering attention span and if I'm not able to progress something at the speed I want, I loose interest and start on something else to scratch that creation-ist itch.  Most of my "plots" are low-end, starter things because of this and I always feels sort of guilty for not having much follow through.

If I play a ruthless character, it's much easier for me to be ruthless to NPCs than it is PCs, even if they sorta deserve it.
Title: Re: Armageddon Confessional
Post by: dravage on March 15, 2016, 01:53:23 AM
I'm either too lazy or too scared to really get stuck into the meat of crafting in the game. Crafting has never really appealed to me in RPIs and I dread emoting around it, when there are echoed prompts anyway.

*Tries to get in the zone and emote with a new craft*
*Awkwardly emotes an imaginary tool or action, only to receive the complete opposite in the prompt*
*Slinks away, never to craft again*

I'm also playing way too much at the moment. I am entirely, disgustingly, deeply addicted to ARM, despite having important RL things to do.
Title: Re: Armageddon Confessional
Post by: Large Hero on March 15, 2016, 01:55:44 AM
I'm much more of a collaborative, instead of competitive, Arm player.

This comes from starting RP at a DnD table - you can't just shit on what other players are doing, there.

It also comes from having an improv mindset, where the more entertaining answer is almost always "yes, but [or and]" instead of "no."

It also comes from having played actual hardcore pvp MUDs, where the pvp code is much more robust, deep and fast-paced than Arm's. I kinda don't get the drive to be the Top Dawg in the Arm PK scene. It's like trying to be the best Checkers player. Once you've played Chess, Checkers just isn't appealing.

As a result of all that, I just don't want to PK anybody. Even in situations where I probably should. It just never feels like the interesting choice.

So my confession? I'm a softy, and my PCs are softies.

Title: Re: Armageddon Confessional
Post by: SuchDragonWow on March 15, 2016, 02:24:46 AM
I guess my confession is that I have somewhat the opposite opinion of player kill on Arm.  I'd say probably zero of my PKs have taken any sort of skill -- in fact, there aren't that many variables to PvP on Arm.  If I want to play PvP, I don't even play a MUD, and haven't since WoW first came out.

However, I do tend to churn out a few kills on each of my longer lived characters.  In specific, I happen to think death is the more interesting choice, many times.  The single thread that ties together nearly all of the great works of literature I've read is one simple thing -- the death of a character.  Whether it's Raskolnikov committing a double murder, Tom Robinson shot as he fled jail, or even the wildly overdramatic murder-suicide at the end of Hamlet.  We could go on and on, but it's not only a common theme of literature, it's a poignant fact of life.

The luckiest thing we could do is portray a meaningful death, but 99/100, that's not going to happen.  It comes out of nowhere, most of the time, and it doesn't always make sense, and it hardly seems fair ...  but it's true to the word.  So rarely do our characters ride off into the sunset, that if/when they eventually do, it seems like we've cheated our self a more fitting end -- an end more suitable to the genre we've created.

Unfortunately, people will take it personally.  So, I guess my confession is that I simply don't care if it's not appreciated.  I did, at least, put some thought towards it and try.

Mud sex has been pointless to even try lately... I just go on other chats for my nut.  Was not the case some 7 years ago (a pitifully short amount of time compared to other arma vets) when I joined this whole thing.

Same.

I didn't always avoid it but it took a really engaging story to get me to do romance, I mean, I never liked romance novels either. Even a strict fading policy didn't help.

I felt bad about this and tried my hand at romance-heavy PCs and had to grit my teeth through their entire existence. It was worth it, I kept telling myself, for a fully fleshed-out character. Be a better roleplayer, etc.

But eventually I ran into some psuedo-OOC bullshit weirdness a few times and it was enough to turn me off the idea entirely.

Granted, most of my past "romance era" characters were involved with obviously mature roleplayers who I would have enjoyed telling the story with regardless of romantic subtext, which is a big reason why I even allowed it to happen. As the saying goes, it only takes a few bad apples to spoil the bunch, etc. But boy did those apples get weird and bad.

Guilty because I feel like it shuts off a lot of potentially engaging stories, but, no regrets because there's plenty of other stories to tell.

War buddies, best friends, reluctant allies, unrequited love, bitter enemies... romance feels like the cheap way to deep relationships.

edit: Er, I feel like the post above mine pretty much perfectly explains why I have a no-mudsex policy in way less words.

I have trouble with romance too.  At least these last several years.  It was easier when I was younger.  Some players are so good that it's hard not to get drawn in though.  They're the exception though, definitely not the rule.

So I play characters who are bad at it, and it makes things much less awkward, and much more interesting.

If you play a character whose awful at sex, or incredibly selfish in bed, or as emotionally supportive as a pimp, you quickly weed out the awkwardness.  The scene isn't centered around someone trying to bust a nut.  It's centered around how much of an asshole this character is.  Or how controlling of a person they are.  And so on.  If the player on the side is in it for the mudsex, they'll very, very quickly lose interest.  If they stick around, they're there for the role play, and it tends to actually be pretty fun and gets deep in a non-cheesy kind of way.  Playing the abusive mate creates conflict, and drama in a pretty pure and interesting way.  Playing the loving snuggle buddy generally does not.

I guess to simplify it down, bad romance is surprisingly fun, surprisingly less awkward, and...surprisingly more realistic!  LOL.

I feel bad for the underdogs in the game even though I like to play one myself and love if they get kicked in the face. Figuratively or literally.

And mudsex. God I really start to hate it. And I wrote a whole lot about it just now but I deleted it before someone thinks I'm flaming someone in particular. Some details are important for my char to get an idea of this other char's persona but other details... please leave them out.
Title: Re: Armageddon Confessional
Post by: Case on March 15, 2016, 05:20:50 PM
I quite enjoy having aspects of romance and mudsex in my play, and especially if they're really messed up relationships. Or if I'm messing around with tropes or something, that's fun too, especially in mudsex. Kinda like where Wizturbo is coming from with bad romance and mudsex being fun and probably more realistic. It's another option for characterisation and development too.

I find lesbian mudsex boring af  :'( so it's gotta be something way weird or wacky for me to even bother. Or naturally emerge outta RP or something


also I like PKing people if they deserve it and having good death scenes is fun

My main confession is probably like overextending a bit too much and burning out a lot so I gotta stop that

I sincerely love being friends with my former enemies and enemies with my former friends. I like that peek behind the curtain.

But if they have a style of RP that doesn't jive with my own, I have a really tough time getting past that and experiencing the character despite the presentation.

I feel like such a snob and I feel super guilty about it so I try not to let that happen, but it's just tough.

I am terrible about using the Bio Tool.
Since it was introduced most of my PCs have a single entry - their initial background.
Sometimes I'll posthumously add bio entries after one PC has died and before writing up a new one.

I really need to get better at adding bio entries as my character is alive.  
I still think of it as a 'new-fangled' addition to the game and I'm a late adopter.

One of the more interesting roleplaying moments happened for me when I was playing a Tuluki Templar, and we had the infamous mul, Hawk, in our custody.  He was, without a doubt, my enemy at that point, but on my character previous, I played a Kuraci who considered Hawk to be his version of a friend (as in, he might have tried to kill him if the offer's right, but it better be for more than money).

It was difficult to take a stance of condemnation when I had enjoyed the character for so long, but it also gave me an opportunity to see that character from a different light, outside of his strength and with a glimpse of desperation.

To stay on topic, my confession is that I screwed up what could've been the most fruitful role I've had the opportunity to play in that Templar character, and it was only because of a misconception I had about the documentation that led to a singular damning event.  Not only that, but I didn't take it well, at first, and got a bit snippy with staff about having to play Robo-Templar (that's a long story), but Natious was very encouraging.  In the end, it was my own disillusionment that kind of sunk the ship, there.

Actually, my Arm confession is that I tend to get disillusioned with all of my longer-lived characters.  One year seems to be the cutoff.

Yeah, we did.  That character had an enormous ratio of deep, meaningful scenes to time played.  I think I played him for ~9 months, and had 11 days played.  I believe a lot of the reason I stored was because my career was taking off, and I didn't have the time to devote like I had envisioned when I apped the role.

I admit to having played a handful of really, really terrible mages. One that would for example make easygoing friends with normals and not react realistically from a witch's perspective.

I once went into a room with one of those horrible log-monsters knowing what it was and what it was capable of, thinking I could outrun it in the name of exploration.

Bless me RGS, for I have sinned.

I confess to having hard time playing a mean character.  Even the ones that start out that way slowly devolve into pleasant people.  Most even wind up (gasp) nice.

I confess to being horrible at bios and character reports.  I was great at bios with my first character, then went through a number of short lived ones and lost the habit.

I confess to hardly ever using feel unless something incredibly significant happens such as a huge injury or a crushing emotional blow.  Though I'm using think a whole lot more now.

I use think and feel a great deal.
I, however, must confess that I use very few emotes other than those tagged on to commands.

Guess it's usually because I play in single player mode so often, but I do try to give you sneaks/gicks/mindreaders a show as much as possible.

I have lots of karma. Tons of karma. The staff on this game, they love me. I've got great friends amongst staff. Tremendous friends.

And they've given me karma.

Nobody will take this karma away from me. It's very difficult to attack me on roleplaying, because I'm such a good roleplayer.

I confess I've been having a hard time and OOC/IG is bleeding through into each other and messing up the fun of playing.

I confess that I don't think of using 'think' unless I think there's admins around to even notice. Sometimes I remember and
use it for my own entertainment, but not always.

I confess that my most entertaining character I ever played was completely batshit crazy and would talk to herself in a lot of
solo rp sessions. I want her back and struggle to not reincarnate her into a new PC just for the giggle factor.

If you take a real long time getting your skills up and/or use poison, you can do it quite easily.

If you mean, can you leave people alive and be a raider?  I highly doubt it, everyone has templar and soldiers on way speed dial that will tell them your whole sdesc and mdesc soon as you leave.  Then because said soldiers and templars don't get much to do, they will organize a hunt and murder you in the arena.

(I may be way off base, but this has been my experience with raider pcs that didn't just walk in and murder folks.)

I have a real issue with storage, in that it doesn't just remove my characters story, but the stories of all the people that character knew and remembered. I normally feel obligated to keep a character going, even when I'm not enjoying them or have long since become bored.

The only PC I have ever stored was a warrior, who lost everyone, but could never seem to die herself. Not for my lack of trying, either.

She retired to an island in the silt, where she dismantled her mighty skimmer to build a shanty for her and her three-legged gortok, Vik. She lives there to this day, a bottle in one hand, a joint in the other. Higher than a motherfucker and just as crazy. The end.

I store nearly all my characters. I haven't had a death in 3 years.

A big reason is I can't play all that consistently anymore, and usually when I return to the game after a hiatus I prefer a new character concept to trying to start over socially with an old character whose old friends and enemies are all gone.

Also, this might be weird, but I feel it's unfair on my characters who end up having highly social roles/goals to fail because I can't play with the volume or consistency needed for them to succeed. I'd rather store and let them go off and be successful in vnpc land.

I don't really play incompetent characters (unless it's part of the concept). If I'm a Ranger from the south, I know where all the poison, water and game is in the south. I know whats worth selling and where it's best to sell. I try to keep it compartmentalized to areas that make sense for that character, but I have no patience for re-learning everything.

I die. Like a lot. Mostly suicide because I want to do something different and lack the patience to store. I don't do it for characters that have stuff going on and are involved in things. But if I have an indie whose biggest responsibility is to get some bones for Amos, and I get a more appealing concept in mind, that fuckers going off the shield wall faster than a unit of Bynners in an argosy.

I think mudsex is stupid and don't do it. Everyone else? Have fun.

Same.

I didn't always avoid it but it took a really engaging story to get me to do romance, I mean, I never liked romance novels either. Even a strict fading policy didn't help.

I felt bad about this and tried my hand at romance-heavy PCs and had to grit my teeth through their entire existence. It was worth it, I kept telling myself, for a fully fleshed-out character. Be a better roleplayer, etc.

But eventually I ran into some psuedo-OOC bullshit weirdness a few times and it was enough to turn me off the idea entirely.

Granted, most of my past "romance era" characters were involved with obviously mature roleplayers who I would have enjoyed telling the story with regardless of romantic subtext, which is a big reason why I even allowed it to happen. As the saying goes, it only takes a few bad apples to spoil the bunch, etc. But boy did those apples get weird and bad.

Guilty because I feel like it shuts off a lot of potentially engaging stories, but, no regrets because there's plenty of other stories to tell.

War buddies, best friends, reluctant allies, unrequited love, bitter enemies... romance feels like the cheap way to deep relationships.

edit: Er, I feel like the post above mine pretty much perfectly explains why I have a no-mudsex policy in way less words.

Cheers to the one and only mud romance I ever found enjoyable to play out, with the delicious delicious betrayal at the end.

I'm a serial storer since staff said they don't hold it against you. Most because I go inactive and then all my plots go to hell. I sometimes lose touch with the character too if my time away comes before I get to the meat of the concept. I'm overly sensitive about it and HATE it. The guilt is unbearable. I think it's cause I'm Catholic.

I stalk all (X)'s characters. And (Y)'s. And (Z)'s.

I'm an idler.  Not for any particular reason other than I multi-task a lot anytime I'm on a computer, and often Armageddon is #1 on priority if I'm receiving interaction, and #6 or #7 in priority if I'm alone with little to do.  So I idle and wait for the interaction.

This has detriments, and I'm a pretty lucky sonuvabitch with it.  There's been at least four or five times that I happened to look at my screen at the exact moment that another PC attacked my idling pc, such that my reaction was almost immediate despite having been completely AFK or in another window less than ten seconds before.

I have a knack for accidentally picking names that are currently, or were recently, in use by PCs. I can recall 4 times of done it, 3 of them in the last couple of years.

I confess to deriving secret, asinine joy from it. Mostly because people tend to treat it IC as if it were some kind of OOC afront. "Bob? There's already a Bob Kadius! You should change your name to Amos." Sorry guys, but no PC was ever so famous that everyone playing the game should know their name. I don't care who played them. ;)

I remember picking a name that I guess was a nickname of some other character in the game. Was literally in the game about 5 hours before some noble wayed me super sekrit info. It pretty much jumpstarted my character's noobie career into a life or death flee from the city, which was pretty damn awesome.

Gladiator roles are sweet. I would love to play a fatalistic human that dreams of escaping and becoming a senior aide to a top-ranking noble, not for power, not for riches, not even for protection, but because they accomplished something great apart from the deaths of other people and the temporary glee of a crowd. He's reckless, short-sighted (for example, might throw his only weapon into the head of an enemy with two more closer by) and fights like every battle is his last, because that's how badly he wants to escape and make his dreams come true.

I confess that a real-life OCD issue I have can't be escaped ICly, and my characters end up compartmentalizing everything they own and often being neat-freaks as a result. On the upside, I'm a GMH warehouse's best friend when I roll a crafter PC?

I also confess that I'm a pattern-thinker, and because of that I can very often track personalities from PC to PC if they have a habit or uniqueness that persists between incarnations. This doesn't affect my gameplay or make me treat them differently on an IC level, but I still feel bad when I can go 'Ha! I know who you were!'

These days, it takes me a very long time to become truly invested in my characters.

It's probably a good thing, but at the same time, I miss that heart-pounding intensity you only get when you really love the story you're telling.

Until I start to care about them, they're more like social or thought experiments. "What would happen if personality trait x was tossed into situation y?"

I even gave an otherwise very serious character a ridiculous background based off the plot of the Labyrinth, because... why not?

Since average or below average attractiveness female characters are the exception and not the rule, playing one is tough.

I confess that the last time I played one, I felt "triggered" because of the random strangers on the street hurling insults at my character that I eventually had to store because every time she would be insulted it would force me to recall the many times I was called names as a kid. When you get called an "ugly lesbian" on the daily from age 12 to 13 among other lovely names it sticks in your psyche.

Since then I make my females at least average in appearance.

The one time I played a below average appearance female that was also accepted was a female half elf who was maybe 40 years old, who I played way back as a noob. Maybe being a noob helped.

I think the "gritty" side of Nakki RP in particular is what made playing an unattractive woman so trying. Tuluk accepted mutants, and I think I played at least three of those there with fun results.

Post by: Desertman on April 14, 2016, 10:07:37 AM
Eh, unfortunately I think that's just part of the game due to the fact we have real life people and not machines playing the characters in the game.

IRL being pretty makes life easier most of the time. It just does.

This goes double/triple for females MOST of the time.

It's wired into us as a species, especially for your standard heterosexual male.

The more attractive the female is the more likely we are to put up with a lot of bullshit to keep her around and/or go the extra mile to attract her.

This translates in game a lot of the time to the cliché stereotype female super-model characters being played and then other characters basically showering them with an easy life.

Unfortunately the opposite end of that spectrum gets thrown into the mix as well.

"There are twenty six super-model quality females for me to pick from and then I see two ugly dames. Not only are they ugly, they are thrown into contrast against twenty six super-model quality -standard- females....which makes them uglier.".

It's like when chicks go out together. If there are three ugly chicks and one -average- chick all together and no other chicks in the bar...."average chick" just got upgraded to "hot chick".

I didn't write human chemistry, I just live in this world.

Now, take that same fundamental logic and apply it to our game world where you have two ugly chicks being thrown into contrast against the twenty six "standard" super-model female PC's you see on the reg.

Just like "average chick" with her ugly friends gets upgraded to "hot", in this case, our two "ugly ducklings" get downgraded to "What the fuck happened to you?".

This also means the few "average looking" gals who exist also get downgraded to, "Shit, nature wasn't kind to you was it?".

With that being said one of my favorite female characters ever was a woman named Rosie who was in my crew that was missing teeth, was sloppily overweight and took great pains to present that, and was as hairy as a gorilla. I nicknamed her Rosie Guts and loved her.  :)

I don't think the adrenaline shakes and things -ever- go away as far as danger to your character and specifically for other players trying to kill you or you trying to kill other players.  It's one of those things where after the fact, people are yelling at how you did it, but if they could be in your brain at the time they'd realize that you were a fumbling mess just trying to make sure you got the commands that you NEEDED to go in right, and you half-typed a shitty emote but then the situation changed and you added a bunch of ===== before you finally hit your backspace key and typed fele a few times.

Then you win.  They get pissed.  And you get judged for all your shitty roleplay.  But you care not.  Exhausted.  You have survived.

This entire scenario seems to start the moment that you either type in that command (before hitting enter), or the first time you get screen-scroll of hostile action.  Bumbling time has begun!

Sometimes I literally sit there thinking to myself "Well brain, you get to feel bad irl if this ic friend dies cos your stupid and cant brain"

*sigh* This is the worst part.  
The feeling like I -know- the player on the other end is sitting there staring at their screen going "Alright, you...just do the right thing, make the right choices here and we all come out alive."
And then I panic and my hands get shaky and thinking becomes really hard because there's half a dozen options but the situation -really- calls for me to pick the right choice the first time and execute it flawlessly...
And then I do something like 'draw knief" ...repeatedly.  Because it takes me four or five times to comprehend that of the dozen blades I'm carrying...surprise!  None are actually a knief R-tard.  

Then by the time I figure out I want a knife instead, the situation is far more dire and I might have one viable option left to save the day, and it's usually way past the point of trying to be a hero with a knife.  Argh.


I also confess that I was such a noob for such a long time.  Character after character of such horrible noobness.  I think my first thirty or thirty-five characters were completely unmemorable...even to me most of the times.  I look back on them and remember the names, and some of the backgrounds...but most I just shrug and go..."Eh...not sure who that one was."  I just had it in my head that I wanted to be an exploring ranger-type, no matter what.  And without really knowing how to ranger (you know, not realizing that it was not a wise idea to try and be a wanderer in the grasslands east of Tuluk with one hour played?  Or thinking this place called the Grey Forest sounds real rangery...I'll leave the city and go live there!  Or taking my shiny new character into the Salt Flats then deciding I didn't like the salty climate, I better go all the way east and find some place better...) it never worked out well for me.  I stubbornly kept trying though, because I was sure it was just bad luck.  I think I made something like...seven Ranger/Scavengers in a row, because I sure didn't know how skills worked.  Same as I had only a vague idea of 'score' and 'stat' and your attributes and all that.  I probably had one or two -really great stat beasts- in that bunch...not that I knew.  Heh.
I imagine staff at the time probably rolled their eyes when a daily Ranger/Scavenger app came in from this same player...and I bet they placed bets as to how many hours she'd make it this time.
I know I was sucky, I just wanted to be a super-ranger so bad!

Then for some reason I made a city-based character and kept that creepy assassin/general crafter alive for something silly like two and a half years.
Gein was the character that showed me that I could actually do this roleplaying thing...mostly because it's a lot easier to RP when you aren't running, yet again, from kryl/bahamet/ four spiders/pack of gith/etc because you are sure your that -this- ranger/scavenger is the one who will make it.

I confess I once fed an obvious newbie PC a certain fruit in-game in the middle of the street only to watch them become poisoned.

When they lost their minds I informed them I had the cure and I would sell it to them.

They asked me how much I wanted for this single basic cure.

I asked them how much they had.

They quoted me their entire starting coin amount, something like 964 coins.

I told them the price was of course nine hundred and sixty four coins.

They paid up and I gave them the cure.

I walked away feeling like a mastermind con artist.

This was over 15 years ago easily. I was only one step up the ladder from "newb" from the guy I was cheating.

I think I died the next IC day to a gortok trying to fight it with my pink flint handaxe.






Roll forward maybe two short-lived PC's later and I have managed to get a mount. I am the king of the world and an awesome ranger who can't be stopped. (It would take nothing to stop me.)

I find another newbie, some sort of pale half-elf. He has no weapons or anything and is obviously still trying to figure out syntax.

I tell him to come with me and I will show him where to get good rocks or something retarded like that.

He follows me.

I lead him out into the scrub until he is exhausted and can't flee.

I kill him while he is unarmed and exhausted and take his starter coins and boots.

Feel like the most cunning raider of all time.

I die within the next two RL days to a carru or something because I'm a stupid nub.

Fleeing up is so ridiculous.  Especially when there are other escape routes and my character doesn't have climb.
I'm all for 'up' being a flee option if it's the only way out.  But when I'm a character who doesn't even have climb, and I can go N,E,W,S,U in this room...I'm -pretty- sure I'm not going to try and run up a wall instead of any of the other options.

Re: average women, and D-man's rants about looks

I confess that I've never played a female character. I don't have the stomach for it.

The closest thing is when I played a transvestite / androgenous character. Codedly and biologically male, descriptively feminine (no personal pronouns in the mdesc), with some typical f-me keywords. Khol and svelte or some shit. Anyhow, the plan was to fuck with mudsex0rs. Go back to their place. Whip out my dick. Kill them. Just some run of the mill trolling for a little flavor role. So I'm hanging around the Folley and some Guilder wanders in, sees my sdesc, doesn't read my mdesc, and begins sleazing on me hard. Walking around the bar and pretending to serve me up drinks personally from the tap. Showing me how "Clan: Guild" he was. Maybe invited me to come talk to him in the back room. I threw up in my mouth a little and then jumped down the well. Can't do it. Too many sex craved neckbeards.

Dman, you claim that hawt female PCs have it easy, and I don't doubt that other players are more friendly and helpful toward them, but oh my god the cringe factor is real!!

My very first character logs into the Gaj, and I hadn't read the docs, really, but I was like: ok.  Hey guys, I'm looking for my father.  I'll pay money for information!  At least three people ripped me off within the hour.  Only one was an elf.

Gein was the character that showed me that I could actually do this roleplaying thing...

Ohh Gein the numut basket weaving king of Allanak lol

I also remember that time (when you were REAL noob) that you came across that bank wagon with just some npcs inside.  I told you to kill the mul cause he didn't have any weapons and then you paraded yourself around town wearing all the banks armor.. That was some grade A Noobishness.

Speaking of my own Noobish adventures I used to play the rinth like you played your rangers, over and over and over again with little to no concept of improving my strategy thinking "This character is as bad as the last! Well, better make another! Then I'll kick that twitchy slack-jawed guys ass!"   I don't think I've -ever- kicked that guys ass.....

Or the time when Templar So-and-so walked in and looks at me, stands there a minute before finally asking "where's my Bow?"

To which I replied in all noobish honesty "Umm I don't make bows, but maybe I can find a Salarri that can help you?" 

templar - "No my bow!"

me - (pointing to the yellow bow in her hair) You want my bow?  You can't have my bow..

I didn't know the "Skill" command existed for probably a year when I first started playing. (And Score as well for that matter.)

I've posted this one before, but it belongs in this thread.

I sat in the T'zai Byn sparring hall alone for RL hours on end as a mundane ranger PC trying to cast sorcerer spells and wondering why I couldn't get any of the word combinations right to make them work.

I would also regularly try to use skills I did not and never would have because I didn't know better. Kick, Bash, Disarm...you bet, every single sparring session...for months....

As a noob, I would hide in the tavern for skillups. No one is around? stand and hide. One day I got bored, hide, idled for a while... Templar rushes up and tackles me with subdue

he looks at me. I look at him... awkward silence. "You're not the person I'm looking for!! stop looking so suspicious!" My character would go on to retell that story over and over of how the northern templar decided to hug him.

Long long ago, it was much harder to get your hands on certain survival tools.  There were puddles of refuse that were extremely poisonous.  So people would fill tall ceramic mugs with it and plant it on people they didn't like who bought a mug of ale.  Since it was the newest item in your inventory, when you typed 'drink mug', you would...well.

Drink out of a shit mug.  And die.

Drinking enough liquid shit to die is kind of unrealistic don't you think?

Not at all, if it's shit that smells and tastes so good you don't notice your mug of ale turned into shit.

It was a fad that happened a bunch for a short period of time when it was discovered, then it was out.  Different...era of the game.  Or it was just because I was a noob.  But it always felt like everyone always wanted each other dead, all the time, at that period of the game.

I'm pretty sure what would happen is you would have a mouthful, gag on it and realize what it was, and then possibly end up with a bacterial infection in your stomach or intestinal tract.
Realistically, you might not get any sort of symptoms for hours.
You're drinking a mouthful of shit in already fairly unsanitary conditions.  I imagine death by shitmugging might be long and drawn out, which would be interesting if the code supported this.
However, since we don't all want to wait hours and days for the infection to finally get you*...you die quickly.  Then we can all laugh at you while you writhe on the floor of the Gaj.

*Also, I'm pretty sure a good number of people would just say screw it and store, if their PC was shit-mugged and faced a health decline and probable death in a game week or two.

Confession: Never been shit-mugged.  My strange assassin/general crafter that I've mentioned a few times...he regularly ate the berries from the sewer pipes though.  He wiped them and washed them off and all that, but he was well aware they were still old shit-berries.
He also had an unnatural fascination with the corpses of small animals buuuut *peers at the clock* ....that's a tale for another time!

Thought it was time to get this off my chest:

I confess when I first played this game, I had NO idea it was based off of Dungeons and Dragons. I thought Dark Sun was a book series like Game of Thrones and Dune. I remember looking all over the place for 'Dark Sun Book'  and 'Dark Sun Series' and only finding these weird pamphlet/gameplay books I couldn't understand.

I also had no idea what D&D was to begin with. I had only heard of it in school as being a game you played with paper and pencils which I had zero interest in. Only recently, like within the last 2 years, did I learn what D&D actually is. I have yet to play an actual pencil-and-paper tabletop RPG.

I've had a couple of characters that were very emotionally unstable and that was kind of their thing, one I played a year or so ago was a breed that was highly self-destructive. Drinking, gambling, complicated lovelife, living in a city that wasn't his hometown. By design, his life was miserable and I did my best to make sure he remained miserable.

My confession is that this absolutely effected me irl. It was sad watching his life play out until he eventually died saving what to him was a brother, however the pc did feel extremely real and because of that it is probably in my top 5 of all time as far as enjoyment goes.

Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, I find it's much, much easier to get into my character's mindset and personality when they are affecting me in RL.  There's much less reminding myself "Okay, you're this and that, you think this way and that way and oh!  Don't forget -this- tears you up."  It sometimes makes it difficult for me to play when I'm not in the same mindset...because it feels forced and unnatural to make my character happy when I'm grouchy, or vice versa.

I just wanna say I resonate with this, except that when it's REALLY hard times for my character, I store.

And how many stores has it been in a row now? Uh oh..

I secretly wish Templars were a bit more like priests, so that I could bother them with mundane confessions about shit that doesn't really matter, in order to absolve my characters of various extremely minor things.

"Lord Templar, forgive me, for I have sinned."
"What is it, you pathetic whelp?"
"Lord Templar, I saw a Lady Templar in the market, and I... Happened to gaze upon her buttocks and had lewd thoughts for but a moment. I am so sorry, M'Lord."
"I am certain the Highlord forgives. Get out of here."

Its fun as shit, isn't it? I literally lost my first forty characters to death by dehydration exploring the wilderness.

To make that as right as rain to do from any perspective just indicate in your background that you're looking for someone 'cause you lost a family member or for revenge or something.

Course if you're just learning to hunt the hard way... don't use your favorite names on those characters.

My confession is that I thought I was proud of having the lowest wisdom possible. Thinking this, I tried a dwarf with above average wisdom.

Oh god.

I thought that spending all that time doing the grind would pay off in the form of my skills having been hard-won (which is why I love low wisdom.) But that dwarf... was the stupidest fucker in the whole world. I couldn't believe how terrible it was and pity what half-giants have to go through now. And all I wanted was to get my cooking skill to journeyman.

Also--- I play like a disgusting casual on this game. I -am- a disgusting casual. The last time I'd seen combat or excitement was the last three times in the last year, when people had to stuff it down my throat with surprise attacks from every angle.

That guy who sits in the tavern, who obviously doesn't have listen on or psionic skills and probably isn't barriering or waying anyone, who has been holding the same mug of ale from last week and just occasionally looks at people and thinks about cheese? That's me. That's _been_ me for the last three years.

And I love every second of it.

It was 2002. I was 14 years old. I made something super-cringy like 'the lean man with piercing eyes'.

I entered the game, spent all my coins on a bad ass, bone halberd I couldn't hold, then fell asleep in front of the Gaj. I woke up, naked and penniless. About this time is where people usually say they were rescued by some awesome RP, or some vet took pity on them.

Me? I walked into a VERY fancy bar, naked, and told the nearest Templar to 'Plz kill me cuz I messed this char up'

I've been trying to redeem myself ever since. Ginka forgive me.

On the contrary, I have been able to group people into my looks comfortably, so maybe I'm already getting over me trying not to be the guy that looks too much - to being the guy that looks at people because they're in front of him and that makes sense.

I admit. This transition hasn't been easy. But I like it.

the () is for emotes before your command and [] is for emotes after your command.
But I get what you're saying. Maybe... hlook (for hemote look) or ooh... slook (semote look)

You could for example, in a combat emote do something such as this:

Em grins with pain as ~me falls to one knee, pushing back up with a shout.

Etc

As for music or whatever
Em plucks the strings of lute making a music emote but its an audio thing so hard describe

That's too much stuff d00d! I can't stand a cluttered prompt. I did away with displaying max values and just do the currents. I just memorize the max for the character, since you spend like 95% of your time fully healed anyways.

Eh, I feel you dude. The only characters that I've really enjoyed in the last few years have been rinthis or desert-heavy loners. No need to deal with tedious people. There's not much of a point trying to build anything these days, and there's a very stagnant clan class. Sometimes I feel like I should just retire trying to play well thought out, interesting players, and just play raiders instead. Not enough people starting trouble anyways. But, I don't feel like going down as a griefer either. So, I'm all but done with Arm myself.

I see people treating those wearing simple sandcloth shirts and/or a pair of light-brown pants as newbies without actually getting any newbie-vibes or chat or actions from the wearer. (???)

Maybe I play too realistically.

Example: I don't dive for every possible way to interact with others. If I'm a gemmed, and there's a party of normals riding up to me, and I don't have business with them, have something important to say or know them, do you really think I'm going to stop and have idle chat with them? "Ey wot, this is a fine day for riding. Isn't it?" Sometimes when you're playing a gemmed, you're actually an abomination that is only allowed to live because you're useful to the Highlord. We don't know how to play discriminated people because most of us were born in an age of reason, where all people are considered to be at least on par with humanity.

Sorry guys, I think i'm falling out of love with ArmageddonMUD or just not able to commit the time I 'need to' to the relationship, and it hurts. I think part of it is I miss the complexity of Tuluk, and i'm sort of tired of Allanak in general, and where else do you go? I suppose I could play a Ranger, but that gets old, too. Oh well, i'll give it another shot in a few weeks or whenever.

This is exactly how I've felt in the last 2-3 years..

Miss Tuluk, don't like Allanak, don't have the time or "energy" to re-dedicate my life to a virtual character to achieve anything of worth and playing rangers in the middle of nowhere is fun but the whole point of muds for me are social interaction, otherwise I might be better served playing Witcher 3, Total War Warhammer and/or the next game coming out soon.

When I gather marilla sap, I always kick myself OOCly for not bringing some sort of reasonable container, but I gather that shit anyway and put it in my bag like it makes sense. I emote a great deal of lint, but I still use it.

I see no problem with a character carrying around virtual pieces of vellum to fold into makeshift containers or virtual small clay jars. Just do that - Zalanthan ziplock bag.
I love you, man. Seriously, I've never thought to do this. Even after seeing people do it with virtual wax papers and meats.

Dear Ginka, I confess that this is probably just a RAT in disguise.  However, I was hemming and hawing about race/guild/subguild combinations, and noticed this line:

"By practicing their shieldwork, protectors learn to bandage wounds, and are able to practice bandage to journeyman."

So, less a confession and more a thanksgiving: I am so grateful that what-branches-what has been articulated!

I confess that I lost a sorcerer to a vestric.

I confess that I lost two separate muls, years apart, to bloodburn. From their own fault, not PCs.

I confess that I have a serious lack of sympathy sometimes that can come off a certain way, due solely off of how much I've seen the game become easier and far more user-friendly, where you don't need to memorize as much in order to have a chance of survival, and where you need to twink less to have a chance of survival.

I also confess that the thing that makes me think of this is that I just got to use the 'stop' command to keep something bad from happening.  The stop command.  It's beautiful.

I confess to being the independent sort, who likes to explore, craft, progress, sometimes, on her own without other people. Other times I crave people interaction but feel immensely frustrated because I don't know where so many people are or what they're doing.

I confess that the thought of roleplaying with my char, being attached to him/her and the people I roleplay with, only to get killed somewhere and lose those interactions, those pleasant routines, is devastating.

I confess I do not like perma-death. Correction: I hate it. (Books/movies with deaths in them make me angry and sad. I once cried over a bad ending of a book for two hours.) I know, I know, why am I here, right? Because the world and its players have intrigued me literally for years, I've just now gotten curious and bold enough to try it out, and I like this game a whole lot. I just dread the dying part. I don't find that it adds to my gameplay.

I confess that I do not like mudsex for its own sake--it has to add to something in my character's life. Walking around, only to get hit on by someone is highly irritating, to the point that sometimes, I've just not gone into public places.

I confess to be eager but terrified to explore what lies outside the city of Allanak. I'm an explorer--it's what I do on games, so not being able to explore certain places can get frustrating, though I'm learning to accept it.

I read the first two or three pages of this thread, not all of them. Too attached to my character/s? Absolutely. Addicted to Arm? Definitely. A softie? Let's just not talk about that, because the answer is almost always yes.

Okay, I'll stop for now. :)

It turned out there were two of them, and they had competing adverts posted on the GDB about their witch killing abilities. ???  I am pretty sure one was Malken.

I'm probably not using thinks and feels as much as I once used to, but I think it's kind of a profit/loss thing. I rarely saw any profit from it, and felt like it was the equivalent of shouting into my pillow, and I have seen losses from it, where things like this have happened:

Man walks in.

I take the time to look at the man, hemote a reaction, start typing think, "I Should Ru-"

Welcome to Armageddon!

That's no excuse, in fact, I might even start making macros for impulse reactions, like, Profit = Think "Grab his loot!"/get all body (snatching items as fast as he can), or Shit = hemote tenses to run/run/flee self/flee/think (panicked) Shit, Shit, Shit! RUN!!

Does that seem like cheating?
