One of my character's chased someone around the Barrel with a finger full of snot. I'm very proud of that. Enough time has passed since that happened that I feel I can share it. I just wanted you all to know.
I once started a food fight with a Byn NPC in the Gaj because they were teasing me. The fruit landed on the floor infront of them. It later hit their back, but it was SO funny.
Once my clan imm decided to visit me as a golden kank icly, and my char would talk to this golden kank. Everyone thought she was crazy. I LOVED it. I wish I could do it again. That was my favorite char, and my most favorite imm EVER!!!
One of my chars was given a sandwhich, and since I rped she had never seen one, she called it meatbread. It was a total HG moment. :-D
-Tortall, who thinks the funny moments on Arm are the best.
Once, I had a character in the Oash Elite. There was this Fale lord, can't remember his name...he was popular...
One time he RP threw a kalan fruit at me. I RPed something to the effect of:
emote spins on his heel, pulling off his helmet and catching the fruit inside, then bowing deeply to ~lord with a flourish of his azure-stitched cloak.
Every time I entered the room after that, the lord would scream:
"SOMEONE GIVE ME FRUIT!!!"
One time I teleported into an unfinished zone.
That's hilarious if its true. I'd think they could have prevented that...
It's true. It was...oh..I think the summer of '99.
I had this magicker. Teleport. Went into this new area, and was wandering around...all of a sudden, the room descriptions changed to one line "Not finished, will finish later".
Then...I forget. Perhaps I wished up, or I got the 'SOMEONE SENDS: HOW DID YOU GET HERE?'
So, I had to rest and get back my mana. And then, off I went again, teleported into the mantis zone.
That suuuuucks. They should have put you back to your previous spot.
Once, couple months back, I had a riotous time with a PC I hated.
I was playing one of them sneaky types, and had just passed from 'bumbling fool' level stealth up to 'ninja apprentice' level stealth, and so I figured I'd have a good time with it. This PC I didn't like was starting shit at the bar with some poor new guy, and I, deciding to cause some trouble, waited until the new guy took off. Then, as the new guy prepped to leave, I, while hidden, prepped something along the lines of:
From somewhere near the door, @ whips a half-eaten belshun fruit over the crowds, sending it sailing towards ~PC-I-didn't-like.
He reacted to it so well that I kind of made a sport of it. Every time I could, I'd pelt the guy with fruit, while hidden. Then he became militia... which made it even more fun. Once, he got so flamingly enraged that he passed out from Way strain, I guess while trying to inform a templar that someone was assaulting him with produce.
Which, naturally, led to me stealing his militia pants.
And then smacking him in the face from across the room with another belshun fruit.
Heh. Once, not long after the new and improved super-long roads Tuluk was put in, I made a Tuluk PC. I decided to go up to Luirs to buy some of my newbie gear, and got killed along the way. :cry: Since I was under the two hour limit I got repoped, but I popped into the old starting location. So I'm wandering around all alone in short-road Tuluk, trying to figure out what is going on. Eventually some imm took pity on me and sent me back to new Tuluk. It was funny having a deserted city all to myself though.
Another time, with a magicker, I teleported into a deserted zone. It looked some some clans super-sekrit hideout, but the problem was that there wasn't a way out. There was a cliff, but the code wouldn't let you walk off. There was something that looked like an elevator, but it didn't move. Creepy. Then some helpfull imm offered to simulate jumping off the cliff for me, if I wanted to try that. Foolishly, I said yes, thinking that my magick would protect me from getting hurt but co-incidentially the spell wore off part way down. :? I still wonder what that place had been.
AC
I made it through the entire rebellion in Tuluk.
On the front lines, with a fighting character.
Against the rebels.
I still was a noob. So like... this could have been just now.
Look south
[Far]
A mottled-shell silt horror lies here in the sand.
Think what the drov is a silt-horror
Think I'll skin it and see if its worth something
...Moments later...
Need to read the fucking docs
I made it all the way to nakk without seeing an NPC with my first character after 10 minutes.
I think an Imm made that possible ;)
I've teleported into a sekrit hideout as well, with no way out.
I also had a character that some time (months and months) after the Rebellion found her way into Tuluk, pre-Rebellion. Twice.
Years ago, lacking the karma for any magickers, I decided to play a ranger who was delusional and thought he was a krathi. In something like 8 RL hours he managed to talk to more than half the active nobles in Nak, get thrown into the Arena, get made a slave, decide to burn down Trader's with his "krathi" powers as a sacrifice to Suk-Krath and eventually get killed by a Templar. By a fire based magick, in Traders.
During the fall of Tuluk (to allanak) I saw a Reynolte cook kill a Nakki Templar with a Spoon.
I made a Nakki Templar cry, ran across rooftops in Old Tuluk, spiced it up with J'karr and killed alot of people before I was 18.
and lastly, I walked once as a HG, (circa 1995ish) from Tuluk, heading south and west not knowing where the filth I was, till suddenly I was mucking about in some silt stuff, and this thing started whipping me... Now that was intersting
Lets see....
A funny moment...
I've got so -many-
Hrm...
Well one time I took a piss inside the Nenyuk Bank in Tuluk with a few PCs around...
Hrm..
When I was a Kadian, I banged another Kadian Hunter in the Gardens which happen to make it to the IC Board.
Hrm...
When I was a newbie, I took a 2day warrior against a HG thinking I could win.
A very young half-giant tried to teach my burglar PC how to pick pockets. This big hulking brute managed to steal a basket without my noticing almost every time, and plant it back in my inventory whenever I noticed it was missing. Eventually I got just barely good enough to steal a basket from the sekrit clan boss when he was idling in the sekrit place. Good thing he wasn't paying attention at the time, or he'd have killed me a lot sooner than he did :)
one time.. at burglar camp..
I asked a templar to teach me the ways of stealing.
So he told me he was gonna look <-- this way and I'll go behind him and steal some coins.
I tried.. Was used as a training dummy for a couple of weeks...
until He turned me into a beefy spy.. and K.o.ed me with a right hook.. where I fell unconcius and someone was fondling me.. Then they restrained me and beat me up some more.. They let me go, I stumbled into a bar, and two guards grabbed me and killed me. :)
I love this game...
Still waiting for a decision,
sacac
I've survived an HPRT.....
WITHOUT A SCRATCH!!!! NOTHING!!!! And considering I was playing like a 2day warrior and a bunch of people around me were killed...amazing!!!
I have realized that one of my PCs may have been indirectly responsible for begining or perpetuating the chain reaction of events that has recently turned Luir's Outpost into a giant smoking crater during the last HRPT.
Maybe. Possibly. Probably not, but there's a chance.
SO SUCK ON THAT!
I had a merchant skillset, noble's aide character that got told he was going to get some combat training...and held his own against someone that had been a guard in the house for 3 IG years...wearing all of his silks and no armor.
I had a less-than-one-day character that fell off a building when trying to climb it in the 'Rinth...I walked off the side of the building, forgetting to 'look' in the direction I was heading before actually moving there. Anyway, I feel off the building and ended up with 1 hp and 1 stun...RP'd it out as falling on my head and stumbled a couple rooms along, looking for somewhere to rest up and get some regenning in. I walked into a room and all of a sudden got jumped by these three guys, and I survived by fleeing without getting touched. I made it all the way out of the 'Rinth and into a civilized area...and walked across the path of a militia NPC who tried to arrest me for something I'd forgotten about before going roof hopping. Well...we can all see where this one is going. I passed my save for being subdued, so he drew his weapons and slaughtered me like the 'Rinth scum I was.
I kicked the Dragon in the tail and ran.
Quote from: "Dirr"I kicked the Dragon in the tail and ran.
I kicked the Dragon in the groin... But i forgot to run...
I've got a few...
Back in the days when there was still a limbo when you died in the first couple hours, I accidently typed something and ended up in the middle of a desert...some rooms away I find two tents with tons of the best equipment in the game. I donned most of it, killed some gith child running around (this was when i was still a newbie, needless to say) then found another tent...went inside and was attacked by an uber gith wielding a damn nice axe...welcome to armageddon.
Helped to take out a sewage horror who decided to roam the north road, just north of Liurs(was skinned for a silt-horror shell).
Met a winged-demon who didn't like to be disturbed....Welcome to armageddon...
Fought a roc of all things and succeeded in stealing a couple feathers before getting my ass handed to me in a paper bag...
Got lost in the tablelands back in the day and succeeded in running around for a while with an entire gith army a few steps behind me...found the shield wall and paused just long enough to see a screen-full of spears arriving in from the north...welcome to armageddon
heh
:lol:
I think my favorite moment of all, even though it was partially OOC
was when my clan leader told me to set up a base for the clan in Mal
Krian. There are no places to rest in Mal Krian so he told us he'd paid
for a place for us to stay in a whorehouse. He also gave us 5000 'sid.
When we quit out that first night the mud crashed. It was down for
a number of months. Six months I believe. This was in '96 '97 some
where around there. Anyways, the mud finally came up and we woke
up in the whorehouse, however it had rebooted to a time before we had
been given the 'sid. AND the clock was still running so our characters
were seven years older.
We decided to play it out that our boss had left us in the whorehouse and seven years later we popped out 5000 sid shorter. Man, was he
upset with us.
I still remember that as an awesome moment in arm.
Tarkas
the giant ptyradactyl barbarian.
Lol... though I think if Arm crashed now, and stayed down for six months, I'd cry. :cry:
The heroin-eyed youth hugs his crackageddon tightly.
This actually happened pretty recently but as I was the only PC in the room (At least to the best of my knowledge) and not very IC sensitive I think it will be ok to post here.
My character was RPing with a VNPC whom he helps by providing coins, water and other goods. After chatting for some time my character gives this VNPC some coded things through emotes, passing coins to an NPC and junking the goods that he is passing over.
As I was junking the goods I didn't pay enough attention to the keywords and I junked a container, spilling its contents out over the floor. "DAMN" I thought, "I wonder if I can wish up and get a re-imbursement for that."
As quick as lightening my character emotes that in his excitement to pass along the goods he tore open a container, spilling the contents on the floor and hurriedly picking them up while his friend laughed. They joked about it for awhile and though my character was embarassed it really made the scene.
I have played this game on and off (and the off periods have been quite long) since before Karma and Accounts were introduced and this has been one of my favourite events. It all came from RPing with VNPC's, a mistake and some quick thinking on the part of my current character.
Just thought that was funny :)
Favorite moments:
Watching a demon child be killed and then turn into green goop and proceed to absolutely destroy its killer.
Watching hordes (I mean dozens upon dozens) of gith swarm and slaughter 'offending' PCs.
Having uber defilers track down and kill PCs that upset powerful Houses (oh, the 90s were so much fun).
Seeing a steel sword snap in two on some soft furred critter.
Seeing northern templars casting away.
Watching some PC die and then moments later all sorts of crazed NPCs reacting violently to the ultimate demise of the killer (seems to happen occassionally throughout the years). Lesson: Be careful who you kill.
Talking with mantis on the crumbling road via the way.
Talking to mantis in Tuluk.
Talking with halflings and laughing as halflings played "steal the mount"
Meeting uber sorcerers walking around Tuluk's crater.
I remember a time when it was almost as if one in every three characters was a defiler in Tuluk.

Ahh, yes. I was that half-giant. He was the coolest character ever.
He also snuck aboard a gypsy wagon in his time. They got him out eventually, but not before he ran around in a panic, destroying everything.
>kill Thrain
Hunting for the raiders Vis and Wulf with about 5 other people, then finding them and getting slaughtered.
Getting teleported into the mantis valley by an angry magicker, but having a mantis PC befriend me and lead me out, then dying to a poisoned fruit.

The Lord of Ash plot in all its chilling, convoluted glory.
Traveling the caverns of waste with an old sand-blasted mul and testing his patience repeatedly while managing to forget my water, lose my mount, and then get lost after flying up to explore.
Finding a baby kank outside Tuluk.
Discovering every possible bug with teleport. And later, ethereal.

That seems to me like abuse of the emote code. I'm pointing this out before anyone thinks "Whoo, it was on the board, it must be okay."
emote slays you in cold blood!
I know! It was a horrible thing to do! I can't believe I did that....
Edited by AdGohan as per suggestion. =P
Adoghan, I hate to sound like a rear end, but some of those contained a bit more than I wanted to know.
Please let us innocent newbies think there are no such big meanies as you describe, and if you could remove the recent Luir's bit as well then that'd be just peachy.

For the record..I didn't really describe anything. I removed the post because it's not worth arguing, if you don't think there is "meanies" in Zalanthas then you A) Haven't read the history B) Have been in the game for a week.
I'd rather respect someone's opinion than piss someone off though. With that said..posted edited to deletion.
Speaking of abusing the emote code, my first character was a ranger and
late one night was spying on a Krathi (Man, I wish I could remember his
name. Was around the time of Khann, started up a few groups with him, I
think) in Flint's. They were in the room north and I was in the bar drinking
away. This was about the second or third day I was playing this character
and had no idea what was going on.
Anyway, said Krathi comes out of the back room, eyes me suspiciously
and asks me if I had been spying on him. I panic and sit there for a few
seconds before typing out:
emote has reconnected.
He nodded and left me be.
I still don't think I've lived down that shame.
Brix.
HAHAH that's great!
I knew someone, who was also abusing the emote command. He got ragged out for it, too.
He was in the 'rinth, having a 'sparring' match with words with another person. He was so fed up, that the person was being 'cheap' with their actions, never -ever- starting the fight, just sitting back and calling names. So..he did.
emote loses link. (or whatever the echo is)
The guy, then, pulled out his weapons, and attacked him, without any emotes.
Then, my friend went, 'OOC Thanks for the Great Roleplay, buddy!' and ran off.
They both are twinks.
Hmm, it looks like this thread has turned from bragging to a hall of shame. I'm down with that. :)
The worst, most embarassing thing I did as a newbie was actually one of my few attempts at a thief class. I quite legitimately (without OOC or previous character knowledge) stumbled onto a secret path into a storeroom. Inside this storeroom were 3 NPCs and some crates, inside the crates was spice! Bricks and bricks of spice. Being a sneaky thief type I stole as much spice as I could carry out of those crates. While I did have the sneak, hide and steal skills, I doubt they would have been high enough that a PC wouldn't have noticed me there, but that wasn't the really twinky part.
The really twinky part was that I then turned around and sold one of the bricks to a nearby NPC, and then had to walk past several other NPCs to get out, because I couldn't leave the way I entered. Still carrying a lifetime supply of spice for a large family of half-giants, I ran down to Red Storm to sell the rest. :oops: Since I had probably stollen the spice from Kurac, running to another Kuraci to sell it was probably a really bad idea.
I was wrong, that wasn't the twinkiest part. The twinkiest part was that I then went -back- to the storeroom and stole a couple more bricks of spice, no one had noticed the first batch missing yet, I guess. :shock:
The character spent the rest of her life terrified that Kurac would identify her and track her down, so she tried all sorts of things ICly to distance herself from the crime. But that really doesn't make up for the astonishinly twinky crime.
Before burning me at the stake, please note: I was a newbie at the time, and would handle things differently now.
AC
Quoteand stole a couple more bricks of spice
It comes in bricks!? Time to make a dwarf with a new focus.
I once smartly used my neck to absorb an arrow. Showed him a thing or two.
I had a warrior who swaggered into a popular noble house. He had exceptional agility. His past history was as a bounty hunter. A real cold bastard. He joins and attends training for the first time.
The noble wanted to see how they fought. Bam, slaughters his first opponent who had at least a few days played on them. Keeps ripping through everyone. Five days played and he was the best warrior of the house, beating sergeants and regulats and second only to the captain who was around for about six or so months. And he was still a recruit. Two members of the house looked up to him and hung on his every word. They studied underneath him and everything. To put it simply, really badass.
Eventually he deserted his house due to his ego. He flees across the Known World. Assassins after him left and right. Some corrupt Militiamen wanted him and everything. A bounty hunter tried to take him out but he just broke down the door of the house, gave him a hard as hell hit on the neck (an old, old warrior character as well) and got the fuck out of there. He found another dead noble house member's uniform and was planning on disguising as a member of that house. Free food, lodgings, and a job in a foreign city. I told the imm and they were just as excited about it and its potential as I was. All I needed was to wait out and find a noble of the house and bullshit them. Fucking awesome, right? He gets his sdesc and desc partially changed. I log in for the first time under this disguise. And then a half-giant militia member subdues and captures me. Didn't even look at my character. Didn't even emote anything. The only thing that was the same about them in their sdesc was their eye color (which didn't stand out). I assume they just tried an ass soandso to check who I was. Well, my guy being as badass as he is, gets free and gets arrested. Sitting in jail, I was pretty pissed off and just said fuck it and retired him. ICly, he died in jail.
Short lived. Maybe six or seven days old and in existance for about a month or two. He was easily one of my favorite characters ever and is the standard I set myself for. Someday I hope to have another character that was as awesome as him and has such a rich history.
Quote from: "Malifaxis"
Which, naturally, led to me stealing his militia pants.
Malifaxis, I was in the tavern when that happened and it was Fing hilarious. I remember thinking "Whoever did that is my hero..."
Anyway Once I was being chased by a much better fighter so i ran into the wagonyard in Tuluk and hid in a wagon. Since i was very low on stamina and health, i decided to take a nap. When I awoke I found myself in the Kuraci Headquarters Compound In Luirs Outpost. Needless to say, the Kuracis didnt not it funny or cool.
Quote from: "Angela Christine"Hmm, it looks like this thread has turned from bragging to a hall of shame.
I'll fix that!
I (along with two others) got to name the first T'zai Byn fighting units, and design their patches. Go Sand Raptors!
My character fought in Halasters HRPT and his gate lasted the longest, possibly longer than the city itself, before three units of Half-Giants turned him into jelly.
One of my favs..
When I was playing my one and only Salarri (go fig.), I was in the bazaar near the mount seller. There happened to be a very expensive mount there (can't remember what kind) and being the good Zalanthan I was, I causually took the reigns and stabled that thing. And went back to shopping.
A short while later a templar showed up asking about the mount. I mentioned that I had seen an elf walking away with that species of mount. The templar seemed to get very upset and asked for a description of the elf. I gave a very vague general description with made up hair and eye colours. The templar stormed off.
A short while later, I saw that templar totally bitching out an arresting a PC elf who's description just happened to match the one I had pulled out of my ass. My character smiled smuggly while I laughed my ass off.
A few years ago, just before stun went in, there was a period of time when it seemed that everyone was afraid to have a good combat character. I had one of the best combat characters in Allanak.
I am walking with my noble employer and her NPC guard through the estate when I get a really, really weird message about my character going berserk. Rage rising or something. I attack everything in the room automatically. My noble employer is fleeing and shouting "what the hell?". I am pounding on, and winning, against an NPC guard with weapons out. With my bare hands. I am getting sends outta nowhere about what the hell is going on, and I am explaining either some evil mindbender is out to get me, or I've suddenly been transformed into a mul. Bugs are fun!
Bug story number two. Same character as above sees this scripted NPC acting strangely outside the walls of Nak, trying to climb the walls. He goes in and finds this Krathi Militia guy (yes!) who goes out to investigate. I go out and find the Krathi dead at the feet of this NPC, so I go to the gate guards and let them know. Some Imm animates them, and two half giants and I go out to confront the NPC. The half giants try to kill the NPC...and start getting absolutely thrashed. I jump in, and we kill the rogue NPC...at which point it dies. Then it says "There can be only one!" and stands back up at poor health, and attacks us. So we kill it again. And again. And again. And again. Until the Imm is able to switch out and purge. Funny as hell.
Bug story number three. I am a nice, honest, innocent gith (really!) just after the tent code went in. I enter a tent in my sekrit camp, which I had done many times before. Except. I am in another tent. With several different people (dwarves, elves and humans, Byn if I remember right) sleeping on the floor. And one very awake half-giant militia guy. I leave the tent, having magicakally been transported to right outside the walls of Nak. I run. Mostly because the half giant was trying to catch me. I run fast. I run typing "Send Bug!" and sending it off as fast as I can. Dodging a half giant and a couple of scrabs. I get a response back asking me to clarify. I send back "Half giant trying to kill me, bug, one minute" and run. Finally I loose him, but I am out of movement points, in the middle of not so nice territory with big bugs and stuff. But I explained the bug and got a way back to where I should have been. Still, it was an adrenaline pumping experience. And I can just imagine the player of the half giant wondering what kind of insane gith entered that tent.
I had a non-combatant character who survived Halaster's HRPT. She was the only one who had a light at the gates that held the longest. I must admit it was the most intense and harrowing time I've spent on Arm. Needless to say, I sold quite a few weapons, and witnessed the betrayal and the fighting. My guard and a good friend were turned to hamburger by a unit of half-giants. I was knocked out, but was not killed. Being a member of a merchant House saved my ass...that and some creative storytelling.
Sadly this same character later died while she was on her way back to Luir's. But she was great!
Let's see, before coming on staff:
Killed a noble, in the Traders and got away with it.... for a while.
In order to get a special item from a dead body, we pulled a corpse out of the sea of silt using a whiran friend's magick only to have a very big, very nasty baddie come along wanting the special item for itself. I managed to blind the baddie (which shouldn't have been possible, most likely, but was a result of the Imm oversight) and run like heck. Eventually the baddie did catch me and wrestled with my PC for a while. My PC ended up with cool little burn marks on each of its arms from being held by the baddie. Oh, and we also managed to keep the special item. Probably one of the coolest events I was involved in. Ever.
Played a part in the death of one of the longest-lived and notorious elf badasses to ever walk the game. Also escaped from the Allanaki jail with the same elf (sort of), which turned out to not be such a good thing.
While playing a human, I lost my kank to an anakore hole a long, long, long way from civilization. Managed to kill the 'kore and walk home through extremely treacherous, bahamet-filled territory.
Deprived a three-eyed elf of its third eye and kept it in a jar for my noble's amusement.
Managed to ruin a party being thrown by a certain noble house and cast shame on their house in the process.
Many of my others involve way too much information about the magickal aspects of the game that are better left undescribed, unfortunately. My longest-lived PC was a 2 RL year old mullish drovian who lived most of its life in isolation but managed to have some very cool experiences.
I scalped a guy once.
This one time years ago me and I was a sergeant of the guards for a noble house and had several other guards with me and sitting in the barracks. I see an emerald eyed elf outside and shout and intruder. We all go charging outside weapons unsheathed.
Turns out the elf was Azroen an IMM. He says ooc OOOPs forgot to go IMM invis. (or something like that). I take a look at him and he has a steel sword. He was checking on some bug we had reported.
Luckily none of us attacked hhim or we would have been slaughtered.
Another time with the same char. I go on patrol around the estate and step inside the pavilion to find my superior in the guard getting nekked with another guard. I proceed to run embarassed and they chase me down. Later on the noble in charge makes rules concerning Sexual intimacy between house servants and guards
Amish overlord 8)
Umm....
I played for six months before I saw anyone get killed.
Seeker
And this one time.... At Byn Camp......
There was this sergeant at a noble house that I hated. I worked under him and he was such an a-hole. The funny thing is he thought I liked him even though he trashed me all the time. I was in tight with some others (higher up) but in separate branches of the house. That bastard sergeant was always saying shit about them to me. I'd go back and tell them and he'd catch hell for it and start tremendous fights back and forth. It was great fun to watch them scream at each other all the time. I'd just sit back and watch the action, the sergeant never knew I was the rat.
Coolest moment:
Had a PC magicker who met Tektolnes....at least...I think it was Tek.
He sure was pissed off at my fella for something. :twisted:
Same PC had his mind wiped clean as a Tolkien elf's ass. That's harsh. heh.
Twinkin'est moment:
Had a mul who would throw spears at this guard in Old Tuluk a long, long time ago. The guard wore a steel mail hauberk. My PC would pin-cushion the dude, then charge in and finish him...then sell these hauberks for phat kash. After every reboot or crash...my mul was on his way to KIATIS.
Most IC embarassing moment:
Climbed aboard a wagon in the desert with my mul raider PC:
A Kadian woman and a fat Templar within the wagon.
Kermit the mul (my PC...Kermit was a keyword the imms added because of my mul's skin color *grin*):
(after subduing the fat Templar) "Awwright! Nobody move, or I send the demons another play thing!"
Kadian woman:
"Oh, please don't harm my Templar!"
Someone (unseen):
"Let him go. NOW!!"
Kermit the mul's player:
(they didnt' have think back then) "Oh, fuck!"
Kermit the mul:
(his eyes wide with the terror of magick) I'm takin' this fatass to the boarding ramp...just to be sure I get off this rig alive!"
At the boarding ramp, another raider, upon seeing Kermit dragging this templar behind him, gets the brilliant idea to slaughter the fat bastard.
Invisible stranger put all raiders to sleep. We wake up naked in the desert...raider who killed the fat Templar missing....never seen again...but heard from via the way....briefly. :twisted:
Other raiders make it back to base with nothing but a loincloth and a longknife or two to get them there through mantis infested lands.
THAT...was COOL! :D
I once had a pc that lost it after her mate died, to what she thought was her mistake, and she decided to punish herself by going to the place she hated the most, Allanak. She joined the organization she hated the most, to learn how to kill tembo to follow up on her crazed idea to wipe out the tembo for killing her mate.
Then a templar from the North found her mind and said it was time to prove her love and loyalty to the North. Of course, being a loyal northerner, she agreed and assisted in blowing up a building owned by a noble House after slaughtering NPCS/VPCS so barrels of explosives could be dragged in. Luckily there was a sandstorm going on and it was night time so she was able to flee the scene. Quickly shedding the duster she had used for cover, she tugged on her organization's cloak to run back to the barracks. Getting inside just in time to flop on a pallet before the Sarge came in to call for all to assemble to help the militia search the city for those foul northern rebels!
After assembling, she realized she was still wearing an item that all of them had been wearing so she claimed a need to use the outhouse and proceeded to go in there, force a squat and used the item to clean up with before tossing it in with the debris. I am told that some IMMs were cracking up watching me rp that. The creme de la creme was patroling afterwards with my organization and a templar coming to the group and warning that us with 'northern' accents should return to our barracks to be safe.
*cackles*
I had alot of fun with all of that. :)
Heh, All I can say is, you did play it well, I remember that whole deal.
-I've probably interrogated half of the players that played this game a couple years ago with a certain templar I played. Executed the rest.
-I used to play an elven assassin that saw a templar too far up Hathors. In a fit of rage I attacked him and his giants. Managing to route them. I chased them all the way to Meleths before I had finally knocked the bastard unconcious. Seconds later as I was screaming out in victory his giants knocked me unconcious. The end.
-I used to work for Lord Boopsie.
-I played video poker with Sanvean in Las Vegas and it was more than you can imagine it would be.
-Managed to piss off a couple nobles in Allanak, taunt them, watch them fumble after me, get away, came back with a templar that told them to leave me alone. Whee.
-Part of a PC gladiator team that became champions of Allanak, way back in the day. First time I ever saw arena code used.
Quote from: "naatok"Twinkin'est moment:
Had a mul who would throw spears at this guard in Old Tuluk a long, long time ago. The guard wore a steel mail hauberk. My PC would pin-cushion the dude, then charge in and finish him...then sell these hauberks for phat kash. After every reboot or crash...my mul was on his way to KIATIS.
No way. Do you remember helping another guy out, showing him how to take the guard out and giving him the hauberk because you didn't need it?
I once had a mul. He had a steel helm, a steel mail hauberk, and two steel bastard swords. He roamed the world with several taggersalong and destroyed everything in sight. This was time of the Clear Waters - I remember going there with him for water.
Then one day the imms decide to phase out metal and my first steel bastard sword shatters on the back of a gith, the second is automagically turned into bone. I was sad. I don't remember how he died.
Long ago, I played one of if not the first mul slave pc. He followed this merchant around everywhere, and I mean everywhere as a guard. One time we found this hidden secret city with all this super-cool stuff but all the shops were obviously disabled. The stable area disabling apparently didn't work cause we bought these beasts that you could almost ride from one end to the mud to the other (not joking or exaggerating). We went about selling them for 5000 coins each since that was what our whole purpose in exploring these areas. Unfortunately, when we went back for more beasts, the beasts had been nerfed, and we had sold the good ones. He was one tough mul. One time, inspired by tales of the mounts, he lead a large mercenary group to go attack a mysterious npc area. Apparently the immortals didn't want that story development so they sent literally more than thirty gith at us over a period of five minutes or so. We were so practiced in rescueing each other from combat that we slayed them all. We took the hint and went home though. He ended up dieing when we attacked another mysterious npc area. He got backstabbed by a hidden npc as he attacked another two npcs. He ordered a retreat allowing everyone to escape unharmed but him. The plan was always if they can touch the mul then some immortal is working against us so we run. I still resent a little bit that immortals wouldn't let the story develop through character actions instead of theirs. Destroying entire npc cities for profit by a large group of mercenaries wouldn't have been too bad of a story line.
Rick
It was my character who started the whole hammer-wielding crazy back in 2001. He used hammers, and taught all his minions to use them too. Started a whole training program with special moves and forms for them to practice. It started to become a fad as new warriors began to copy us.
Pretty soon half of the warriors in the game were using hammers as their weapon because veryone thought they must be overpowered somehow. Bit of a flame war on the old GDB about it. Went on for several months until most of those characters passed on. Now everyone's back to using swords again.
Of course the only reason I ever used hammers in the first place is that my char's morning star was stolen and hammers were the only one-handed blugeoning weapons sold in the south at the time.
Two of my worst moments:
I tried to transfer an NPC I was working on with a very ambiguous keyword, and ended up transferring a PC with that same keyword. She had her ldesc set to show that she was sitting next to someone. While she emoted blinking, I found the guy with that sdesc and put her back. I was a very new immortal then.
I also was trying to send to another staff member about a PC and sent it to the PC instead.
In terms of good behavior, I one time shocked a PC so much that he did this...
> You think, "..........."
Burgular man has done what every burgular dreams to accomplish and more heh:)
I learned to astonish folks with roleplay, and I learned how to use the world around me appropriately. I learned how to make my character starkly realistic, and how to back down from a fight I knew would'nt hurt me IRL. I learned...to play.
To you, that may not be something to brag about, but for me, it is the reason I love this game so much. I like playing characters with elite power and so forth, characters whom others fear, and I have done that, but the thrill to me, the right to even have bragging rights, for me, was when I truely learned to roleplay.
I was once beaten unconscious by a VNPC!
I pulled the Vendyra mis-transfer, but only a few days ago. Pulled a noble half way across the known world. I shat myself. So much for using nicknames.
I killed a well known northern noble with a teensy tiny dart and didn't even mean to. I then promptly said "Oh shit" out loud where pc's could hear it.
Not my best day.
Mekeda
I have a log of Mekeda killing that noble with one hit! It shocked everyone in the room, I think someone OOCed that they had to go because they were laughing so hard.
*grin* I used to have a copy of that log, and can verify that indeed a few of us had to take a keyboard break to stop laughing. It was a riot.
As for my twinkiest moments?
Heh. Way back when... I was that mantis that went around helping people and trying to talk and be friendly. I was the mantis that gave someone a waterskin outside the gates of Allanak... instead of eating them.
Sparring for days in the backroom of a 'rinth bar, before the legendary Khann came and broke me out of that.
And we won't even touch on the embarrassing moments... too many to count.
My first character, and my first "What the heck did I just do?" moment...
kick mul
Heh, enough said. Oops.
I once had a body of a dead scrab call my gith, 'Red Beast!'
Quote from: "Louten"I pulled the Vendyra mis-transfer, but only a few days ago. Pulled a noble half way across the known world. I shat myself. So much for using nicknames.
Lol, I was there. It was hilarious.
I once EMOTEd out taking a shit in the Byn latrines.
I once was, arguably, the most politically powerful PC in an entire region.
Ate a baby.
I win.
"Surrender!"
"You mean you wish to surrender to me? Very well, I accept." <-- funny quote, Ralin.
I'm not that long in the game to have any bragging moments, this could be one of it though.
I had at least 8 pcs and half of them are killed by their own mounts, syntax shortcuts are bad, There's no hit kank, only hitch kank.
I can tell the game changed a lot, reading this thread. Enjoyable, I still don't understand how the teeny dart killed that noble.
Playing a tavern sitter that did nothing but talk to people and try her hardest to stay out of any sort of trouble, and being wanted dead by several different organizations / people at under 5 days played of doing nothing of any sort of significance.
...I think that was an accomplishment.
:roll:
I once played a desert elf with AI endurance.
It was absolutely incredible.
He fell 5 or 6 rooms once and didn't black out.
I played an old dude who literally and truely thought he was the Highlord Tektolnes. He was a crazy fek who adopted a wobbly table in one of the well known drinking establishments as his throne.
I made an ic purchase that involved nearly a hundred thousand cold, hard, and coded, obsidian coins.
I became a Byn Sargeant with a pc after 4 days of playing time.
My second spar and third fight IG, I beat a sargeant. My third spar saw another sargeant beat down.
Quote from: "Anonymous"I made an ic purchase that involved nearly a hundred thousand cold, hard, and coded, obsidian coins.
:roll: :roll: :roll:
I participated in one of Halaster's RPTs - and lived to tell about it after. :wink:
Once, a long time ago...I junked an item made of metal.
Awesome thread, however old it was. Kinda inspires me a little to some of the fun stories...jeez..I hope I can get more into my current character. (nothings wrong with him, but it's a new role for me and I'm having trouble slipping into it)
Alright. This is my brag. A secretly half-elven militia assassin. Who was from the 'rinth. This was recently. Then, made sergeant in about six days playing time. ;) That was an awesome character though too.
Another one would be my guilder, another favorite character, who was an idiot. And for some reason nidhogg and xygax let us, a couple ELVES take the lead of a few pcs in the guild for awhile. Heh, that was great...anyways...he messed up a few assasinations.
-One time he was gonna leave a cloak with an atrium student's head draped somehwere where it would be found. Messed up my triggers...and some fun rping accidentally walking around with a head in his pack when he got back.
-Gave up someone he was suppose to kill to a defiler. Ahh...I dunno if he lived or died after all though ;)
-Messed up in several IC ways.
Quote from: "Anonymous"I made an ic purchase that involved nearly a hundred thousand cold, hard, and coded, obsidian coins.
I made an IC sale that involved nearly a hundred thousand cold, hard, and coded obsidian coins. And got my cut. :twisted:
Quote from: "Xygax"I scalped a guy once.
I've been scalped. Maybe the same one :) Were you an elf defiler in the
northlands quite a bit ago during Rebellion times?
With one of my hunter chars, I went to Bazaar wanting to sell the scrab shells I got. I left my kank outside Marmlek's and entered the shop. After some haggling the mud crashed and when I logged back, there was no kank. I wished up standing in the shop and got a sentence like this..
"A grey kank falls from the sky in front of you."
My twinkest moment, as I'm sure the Kuraci Immortals may remember this.. I had just come from a hack-n-slash type MUD where if you got the advantage of finding someone linkdead, you killed them and took their shit. Well, with that said, I was playing roughly my third or fourth PC and became apart of the Kuraci. This half-elf and I go to the Fort to do some sparring and as we come into the main sparring room he goes linkdead. Now me being this great pkiller and taking advantage of this decided to begin combat and kill this half-elf. It took me nearly two hours and about three dozen backstabs with this newbie assassin to finally kill this half-elf because he kept beating this shit out of me with wooden sparring weapons so I'd had to rest and come back. After killing him, I take him inside the nearest building and emote tucking him underneath a table before removing all my Kuraci items and running to Tuluk to sell everything.
After everything had settled a few nice Kuraci PCs decided to peraine my next drink and plays darts, only I was the dart board. And after that extremely undeserved, cool death I was emailed by Kuraci Immortals and told that I am to never return.
Get all-
Where get all grabbed up about twenty arrows with an npc beating me to death with its bare hands.
Without any emotes at all, and about two hours of foraging through stuff I left a pc-deserted blackwing village while really encumbered with rare weapons/armor/and some metal. I had to leave in the middle of a sandstorm and at night because the guards were coded not to let someone leave if they weren't blackwing. I then proceeded to go back and do it again a couple days later. My rp was called 'pathetic' by Halaster.
I once dropped so much coin in a room that you couldn't pick any of it back up because it was too heavy.
Stupidly, I went into an unlocked wagon in tuluk and proceeded to take everything they had and sold it all.
I went on a rampage in a gypsy wagon, killing almost everyone there just so I could get a 'fighting staff'. I found out that two of those npcs I killed were coded to be able to gamble, so they had like 5k coins on them, each.
Attacked a noble's aide, friend, and guard in a house. Got them all to nearly dead by changing who I choose to fight and initiate battle with before I died. Only because I had thrown a dagger and mistyped drawing another without realizing it. Fought with an off-handed throwing dagger for most of the fight.
Had the best wisdom -EVER- with a magicker but rerolled because his strength and agility were below average. Will never forgive myself for that.
Most of this stuff I got comments for, but have since shaped up and got myself a few karma.
Dan Wrote:QuoteStupidly, I went into an unlocked wagon in tuluk and proceeded to take everything they had and sold it all.
Once I ran to Tuluk from Allanak. Stupidly, I went into an unlocked wagon in Tuluk and while I was RP inside it, I caught by the owner of the wagon. He was the one I was running from. *snickers*

Haha! He was a crazy fek. :wink:
I chased an elf down.
Oh yeah...I also had an elf being accused of being a mindbender.
...although to be honest. I was actually trying what must be some mindbending skills...heh...found them in the helpfiles, but they've long ago been edited out.
I swindled Kurac with my elf. It was about 5-10 thousand sid.
Quote from: "Mekeda"I killed a well known northern noble with a teensy tiny dart and didn't even mean to. I then promptly said "Oh shit" out loud where pc's could hear it.
Not my best day.
Mekeda
That, I must say, was awesome. At first, I was just kind of like... "What the fuck?" and froze. Then when Mekeda said "Oh Shit" I busted out laughing. I don't think I stopped for an hour or better.
In a criminal character's early days I swindled somebody for five large for some guesswork that I had no clue about but managed to wing it and a got a contract for twenty large out of it for a hit on a person in the guesswork as my guessing tallied with what they suspected themselves. Was paid up front but never carried out as the contractor disappeared first. Sweet... because I couldn't even find the person to attempt the job.
Took a contract hit job for nearly 100,000 'sid from somebody... which ended up being reversed on them because the counter offer was even sweeter.
Killed an Imm-animated red robe templar and a PC blue robe templar... within five minutes of each other and got away with it... kind of.
kind of?

Nessalin once referred to the gypsy wagon as 'A colorful, jingling charnel house on wheels'. So true, I subbed that text in in my mud client.
Driving the wagon off the shield wall.
Auctioning a set of leather armor for about 15,000 coins.
Telling a certain long story in a certain hidden room so many times I still remember it by heart

I accidentally backstabbed a bahamet once and lived.
Quote from: "Ghost"What??
heh
Several years ago during the rebellion times of Tuluk I played a
slightly twinked out desert elf warrior. I met a drovian elf from Allanak
and used to escort him around everywhere and we'd help each other.
Anyways, one day I escort him into the rinth where he's to meet up
with some mul in the non-elf side of the 'rinth. This mul takes him
into the backroom of the tavern, kills him, steps back into the tavern
and hands me his head. He goes back inside the backroom. I end up
going berserk killing the human guards for the tavern then go into the
backroom and kill the mul that just killed my wittle friend.
Good times, good times,

With my first-ever PC on arm, 5 or 6 years ago, I decided that I had an urgent need to explore, and that Steinal would be an appropriate destination.
I packed up my kank and headed out of the east gate of Nak. After travelling some distance I came across some Meks.
Not knowing what they were, I promptly dismounted and started examining the beasts and assessing them.
To this day, I am not sure why they did not turn agressive and beat the crap outta my PC!
The irony was, when I returned to Allanak and recounted the tale to my friends, they all thought I was fibbing.....
I had a pet bahamet once.
I blew up the Tor academy, and escaped. Then told everyone I met about it.
It was the same character.
I once captured a baby gortok with the intent to sell it. The plan fell through and they ended up taking care of it. After completely trashing their apartment and making my character's life crazier than three kids ever could have, it escaped, mauling several people before dashing out the gates.
I spent four emotes picking a scab in a well known, high class establishment.
I got married in the Fale estate, back when commoners could marry. And the party afterwards... whew. Multiple folk passed out, sprawled about the estate... lamp shades, spice... templars staggering around drunk, singing... a gwoshi in attendance and in the wedding vows.
And then, at the birth of that pc's first child, a sacrifice was demanded, and some poor pc or npc (i never did figure out which) was gacked on the child's behalf.
I made a guitar for a half giant.
Then, just recently, I had the joy of seeing the log of the presentation in the log sample section.
I bribed half giants to join my house with sweet rolls. Baskets and baskets of little one bite sweet rolls.
I got to go out of the room, then listen to guards explaining the concept of snakeskin condoms to a niave orange dwarf.
One of my first nights as a noble, my house guards and I went riding to Luirs for... I think it was to boost morale or something. Lots of waving of rapiers and shouting to the glory of our respective sorcerer king.
I rp'd valeting a delightful noble who had a code ib hid node.
I wrote down a super sekret piece of information on a scroll as insurance once and passed it to someone for safe keeping. (I love seeing creative uses of the writing code.)
OH! I had an npc toddler climb up on the Oash's table in the Trader's (while the oash was there) and just be irritating as all hell. And he just sucked it up and dealt with it. Such a nice guy.
I adapted countless country songs for my Blackwing to sing to her kin. *snickers*
And kidnapped a templar, who we stashed in our estate, then unfortunately, a half giant got brainwormed into thinking she was Evil and smashed her. Then, instead of arranging his execution, my pc arranged his defection to the local neighborhood raiding clan... and it WORKED. The axe blade hovered in mid air, the raiders showed up and popped a subdue... and it was GORGEOUS. Like poetry.
And my hall of Shame entries are far too humiliating and awful to list. Let's just say I was a bad girl and am in the process of my rehabilitation.

I once spent over an hour RL just kicking a bahamet to death, because nothing else would go through its armor, and managed to came out of that battle with not a scratch.
I had a character go to -6 hitpoints in three hits and live.
I had a guild_merchant in the Byn... and was eventually asked to stay and be a trooper.
I had a non-magicker commoner who taught magickers some things about their elements that they didn't know. All things learned (and most witnessed personally) completely ICly, too.
I'm friends with Manhattan.
I once killed a tarantula with a 0 day warrior with minimal armor and mostly average stats.
I managed to branch during MUDsex...
I managed to get famished with two different kinds of elementalists who can feed themselves in a way. My next aim is to get dehydrated with a vivaduan.
You do know that MUDsex is not a coded skill, right?

See, abusing the code is something you SHOULDN'T be bragging about.
I successfully avoided mudsexing with mansa. I'm not one in 100, I'm a mansa virgin. I'm special. Go me.

While in the Rebellion, my Kadian merchant married a former member
of the Lirathuan order. He died like so many others -- at the hands
of Lord Ihsahn in an Allanaki jail.
I infiltrated House Kadius, learned how to pilot using their wagon,
and stole it in an awkward place, leaving a bunch of Kadian higher ups
stranded. Thanks for the shagging pad, Bastard.
As a Whiran, I attempted to rescue one sorcerer that had been
paralyzed by another sorcerer. What a heroic mother fucker.
I tried to kill an NPC, and he kicked my lille ass, so I fleed, ran REALLY feckin far away, then entered a secret place, and slept.(outside) When I woke up, he was standing over me, not doing anything, it was the wierdest thing. Then I ran to Tuluk, and when I whent out agin two IG days later, he was sitting at the scaen! He wouldnt attack, but hey, just kinda friken creepy.
I once banished a Templar....and lived....for a little while. *nuzzles up to Dyrinis*. For those of you who don't know what that is...well, just think I took a big crap on the Templar's shoe. And then spit on him. And then flipped him off. And then insulted his mother.
I also managed to support a healthy spice addiction through Kurac......using coins a Templar was paying me to kill Kuraci.
My second character died with Heshrak in his language skills.
I had the first ever PC Speaker of CAM.
(old threads have rights too)
Being out of moves saved my PC from dying to a defiler.
Faithful Lord Malik had run her all around the place on foot while he was mounted and she had to lie down for a sleep. :P He left her sleeping on the side of the North Road. Just as she went to sleep the defiler attacked Malik on the road (one room away). Had she been there, she would probably would have died defending him. Instead, she woke up, knew something bad was going on, went charging around through magickal stuff screaming her fool HG head off, and finally got back to the Tuluki gates.
Yay for being out of moves!
I travelled to Old Tuluk - before the city was built .. circa '04
In July.
Whoops!
- Moved that torched & rotting merchant wagon to the stables in a certain merchant house.

My last character was close to rebuilding that piece of shit.
I've pk'd like 10 PCs at least.
I've skinned bahamets, mekillots, a silt horror, kiyets, dujats, and a gaj with the same character.
I had a character that mined copper.
I once held up the Gaj with a crossbow, subdued a templar, and newbie repopped after dying in the arena. I've traveled back in time. I've made 20,000 coins in three days, twice. Killed a Lirathan. And Ghost.
Never done anything monumental or world shaking, but DAMN did it all feel good.
I paid someone to fuck a fruit in the Barrel.
I've stole my friends favorite weapon so I could buy spice. It was worth it. And it sold for a lot.
I traded a handful of dried fruit for a shitty pair of pants, because I was butt nekkid. The guy who traded with me didn't have any backup pants, either. Ah, the 'Rinth...
Different characters of mine have had kentu, heshrak, and tatlum, and I've never played halflings, gith, or templars.
-Hosted my own Mudsex RPT?!? (It was scheduled for 3 females and 1 male but one didn't make it)
We couldn't find the key to the apartment door afterwards and had to wish up.... *psst* Some immortal stole it.
I think I know where that fourth one went.

Also awesome.
Man there is some cool stuff in this thread.
I love the fruit fucking one as well?
Played a magicker class without casting a single spell. (The character lasted some months RL time)
I took down an entire noble house.
It was House Morlaine. My commoner PC who was a spy for Allanak in the rebellion was supposed to speak at Ysania's trial but OOCly I couldn't log on that day, so I was proxied by Sathis himself who was a red robe at the time.
I have no idea how many PCs I've PKed over the years, but I know its a lot.

I had a character drop trou and poop off the end of a wagon to make a political statement.
Anyone up for reenacting two girls one cup with me IG?
PM me for more info. Looking for people who can keep a PC alive.
I was responsible for the death-by-exploding of a couple prominent PCs and a few buildings.
I had a character get her hands on Something Really Cool and resisted the OOC temptation to keep it, because it scared her so much to own.
Had a PC get turned into an NPC Allanaki Senator.
Along the lines of shame:
I had an elf don a militia cloak, shadow a soldier into the soldier's quarter at night, sneak around using the shadows to try and conceal my inhuman height, traveled through the tal-zen tunnel to find an unlocked noble house gate, stepped inside to find the mansion itself unlocked, went upstairs, and....after some time...ended up killing a long-lived, prominent noble. I proceeded to wear his clothes, including a magickal helm that could not be removed, and was going to try and pose as him to escape before being walked in on halfway-undressed with a half-undressed, dead noble. The helm couldn't be removed, but the half-giant shoulder didn't mind pulling the head off with it. *beep*
I've had a 30 day warrior who could almost take down meks by himself despite lower strength die to a bamuk in two hits.
With my first character in the guild, I was ordered to kill a certain person if I ever saw them again, and I took it literally. I saw them in the Trader's Inn, walked in, and killed them with no finesse whatsoever. Luckily my employer negotiated to have me 'enslaved' and sold back to him.
Other stuff:
I was one of the first two or three Borsail Wyverns. I was still a horrible newbie, though. Harik took my place.
I've had a character given money to use his contacts to arrange a political assassination, but used the money to negotiate the assassination on the one who paid me originally instead, for a lower cost. Profits are good.
I broke into Ihsahn the Red's mansion and got away with it. Until his friends made me repay him when they found out about it.
I was in one of the skirmishes between the north and south just before the original Allanaki occupation, and actually killed the enemy templar with my gladiator-slave. I didn't get credit, but was freed very shortly after.
I was in the first scouting party to the mantis valley from Allanak.
I had a half-giant with no stat below 'extremely good'. It died at six hours after nearly killing a bahamet.
I had twenty years of my life drained by a sorcerer. When he was killed, I got them back.
I've had a black robe smile at me.
I played a string of half-giant gladiators for the scheduled arena games, and had Iakovitzes Tor cheer me on. Fatty Tor for the win.
My first character was recruited by Boopsiefiel after saving him from an attacker in the Trader's. One hour later, I died while trying to figure out how dual wield worked.
I subdued the Hand of Utep. Died shortly after.
I've had a half-giant raider who picked up a dwarf and shook the shit out of him before looking in his eyes and asking if he was scared yet.
I had a character with a metal dagger, and this is within the last 6 years.
I had a character assassinated by the character's employers because they were jealous, and yes this was a major/prominent clan.
QuoteI've had a 30 day warrior who could almost take down meks by himself despite lower strength die to a bamuk in two hits.
How did
that happen? Sounds like a bug.
I PK'ed some guy and he sent me a sincere kudos for it.
Sigh... all these things sound so cool. The only thing I have to brag about is my 2-and-a-half day guild_assassin who survived one hit from a silt-horror.
But died in the next hit.
Oh well, it was cool, but not as cool as the other things.
I think I played the first magicker to graduate from the Atrium and the first Atrium graduate to serve in House Oash. That was possibly the only character to ever do those things too.
Broke 50k sid with two separate characters. Got damn close to 100k.
Had a character with a metal knife within the past 3 years.
Had an Allanaki militiaman who got sent to Luir's to lookout for Tuluki forces passing through, but spent the time getting spice and whores instead.
I've played two different characters who heard stories and tales of previous characters of mine that had died told to him by different people. It always brings a smile to my face when I hear people talking IC about previous characters I played and it is what I am most proud of!
Never in my 3 years playing this game PK'ed anyone.
One highlight each from a few fav characters...
* made lt. in the Byn
* watched from the noble stands as my group kicked the formidable Kuraci group's ass in the Allanak arena
* invented a d-elf tribe that seemed to have more players at its peak than the coded tribes
* got thrown in the arena and survived waves of beasties until the fans shouted for the Templars to let me live... which they did
* finally had a simple human/human romance with one of my favorite players
* sacrificed my Byn sgt. to save his unit and the girl he loved, even though he could have gotten away. maybe my best death
* current PC... is a n00b not worth bragging about
Without special apping or taking a sponsered role.
I've had byn sarges of course.
A Tor dwarf LT who survived the liberation of luirs and was trained by Gold.
Had a Winrothol dwarf LT just after they re-opened for play. And who a rumor is about in a certain tavern. Who sparred Sujaal to a stalemate and was involved in the first kurac pit fights.
I had a HG legionaire who once folded a body several times and stuffed it in a bag. And was there when sujaal died...he also learned all but 2 languages, had 2 magick rings and an iron dagger. Sadly, killed to nightfall because blind fighting did not exist and NPCs did not take negs to darkness. But man was he fun.
On the shame side, My first PC (HG stone cleric WAAAAY back). Used to go to allanak and kill every single shopkeeper, for the coins in inventory and certain other items, then transport them, sell them, then kill every single shopkeeper. Spent one day killing every npc in the city, including the black robe templar that came after him,...not too long after that mages could no longer wield and cast...meh.
Lived in the Silverwood Estate. As the Lord Governor Borsail during the occupation.
Then a few months later, he led a mission that wiped out nearly the entire PC base for Borsail in one fell swoop. Curiosity doesn't just kill the cat, folks.
I heard just recently that folks still have fun putting on the Lord Gov's armor and GOLD signet ring and dancing around at parties.

Haha, this, too. Especially if it's in the form of a parable given to warn my current PC about dangerous, bad, destructive behaviour.
I survived for 69 (or 79... I honestly forget) days of playtime on a throwaway Bynner noob.
But she was just too FUN to let die!
I still cannot decide if a sign should be put up saying "Caution, Falling runners"
Or if Kanks should have targets on their backs.
Played the starring role in Arm's only PC-run blockbuster play (we ran for two weeks.)

You know, I'm honestly surprised we didn't kill more kanks than we did. At one point I'm pretty sure we were giving the slaughterhouse a run for their money.
Stood in front of the Sanctuary in Tuluk with a large crowd gathered and accused both the Lirathans and Jihaens of mismanaging the city, was dragged to jail for treason (which caused a riot), and then negotiated a way out of execution.
Saw Belenos' hideout in the game.
A few other things too, but too recent, too recent.

Hell yes! That was a beautiful thing, Gim.
I didn't do nothin'
:'(
Played an elf in Tuluk who constantly dealt in misinformation. Generally anyone who asked him anything got an answer. It was all BOLLOCKS!
Same character smoked his absolutely incredible wisdom down to poor every day. That was some good shit.
Not much, but.
Have played an aide that planned numerous assassinations for his boss, sadly RL events made me have to leave the internet for 2-3 months and store this char. My favorite was meeting a Rinther to get the head and having a full tavern, referring to it as a scrab head from down south and I was going to use it in some cooking.
Have seen a templar mind bended.
Have seen a really messed up thing that is probably too IC to say anymore.
Was in the Copper War! Played a Tor Scorpion and died the first RL week of it within a few seconds by a really spreedy elkros
Was in the Gith War :D!
Quote from: X-D on December 13, 2007, 01:13:49 PM
And was there when sujaal died
Ha, I remember that. I felt bad for getting Sujaal killed.
I had a pc, with the help of one other, design and purchase a wagon for a major house. It's a cool wagon too.
I had a PC give another PC 80,000 hard, coded obsidian coins.
It took 8 bags and 2 inix.
I have seen Eniriah's visible imm form.
(It was pretty hot.)
I chilled in Eniriah's bratmobile, and saw the dented Vanthmobile before it was sent to the shop.
eniriah made me throw a pose and sing about my shirt
.... and my sexiness
I bought some thing earrings once from the Kadian shop and was wearing them around for a little while.... After a while, I wondered what the weird word in the description meant and I searched for common synonims (sp) and it turns out, the earrings were made of silver. Pure silver. So, I went back to kadius to buy the rest. Bought 3 silver earrings for 400 coins total.
I later felt bad, sold them back to kadius, an elf in there saw it, and bought one just after I wished up to inform the imms they were selling silver shit real cheap.
So.. I had 3 solid silver earrings less than 2 years ago.
Those earrings were painted silver, not actual silver.
No.. From the looks of things and the Quick reaction from the imms, and the note on my account... They were silver. Unless they've been fucking with me. Which isn't out of the question.
No, I could just be thinking of a different object where I had the same reaction, but realized my folly awhile later :P
In my account notes, a certain shadow of an IMM wrote: "believes he need follow only the rules he agrees with - 8/13/04"
Pretty neat.
I don't think I have any account notes.
But I probably should. I'm guild_assassin, that means I kill people, right?
-_-
I have had more then two characters who owned metal, not included rings and never stole it. I had a character who kept about 40k hidden throughout their 'home' not including materials or worldly posessions. I have survived insulting sorcs, mindbenders and magickers more then once, including a defiler's kanking ability after sleeping with them. Some of my characters have had torrid love affairs, great tragedies, and wild adventures painted in terror, betrayal and impossible hope.
The only thing I truly feel the need to brag about is that there are several different things in the game that I wrote, submitted, and/or caused to come into being Icly that people see at least some of on a daily basis. I know I'm not the only one but it's the one thing that I'm actually proud of. I'll be sad for those things to disappear when the new game comes around.
I'm responsible for at least one of the blades outside of Luirs. I spent coin to keep that sword there after reboots until they made it a perma object. Now if only I could remember the name of the guy I did it for.
I'm also pretty sure that I was the first PC to have the blade_storm_style_script added to my character after a certain yellow mul taught me it. I don't know if I was the last.
I owned a copper-inlaid Kithara. Ask me what a Kithara is. I dare you.

I'm pretty sure it is referred to as Davan's tomb.
There are some pretty funny posts here.
I've had a squad created for me, by Bela the Butcher, in the byn. It's funny because it sounds like a northern squad. My character was anti-everything-north.

Had a character give a fat gold and diamond-studded ring to his mate when they were bound.
Got killed by a Tan Muark gypsy who was significantly less skilled in combat. Learned to avoid clan strongholds/shops.
Lost a desert elf Blackmoon raider to running back and trying to save his a mullish warband chief vs a templarate attack
(Who was that old.. not Ihsahn, the other one..)
Formed a desert elf tribe that has since, arguably been one of the more consistantly represented in the game world.
Got a note on my account for backstabbing rats
Did a 90+ damage head-shot with archery to an imm alt, later killed it.
Competed with Gold to lead the Tor Scorpions and bitterly lost.
Character touched the surface of some politics and couldn't handle it. Became a bit of a nervous wreck.
Had an off and on affair with a certain famous Oashi advisor that began in the Byn.
Hit on a Templar with a rinthi and survived. Sent in the log and got karma for it.
Raged with a fairly skilled, strong Blackmoon mul and didn't kill anyone.
Lost my first long-lived pc to a poisoned weapon from an aggro halfling npc.
Got a note on my account for running past an aggressive halfling npc on the road.
Nearly solo'd a young unit of Byn with a desert elf ranger. After picking off several we moved in for the kill. PKer flag on account.

Davaz, not Davan, and you're right, but that's only one of them. The other was for a Sergeant my elf took a liking to, in a friendship sense.
Also, in line with the thread, I one-hit killed an elf once with my mul, outside of Red Storm.
I had a drovian once that worked for House Reynolte. It was a long time ago and I don't remember all of the details, but I remember playing as a very obedient thrall of Drov. I communed with Drov every sunset that my character was in the game, and I got very panicky when it looked like it was going to be difficult to break away from whatever I was doing. During these communing sessions I might do anything from casting spells to begging Drov out of jealousy to kill the unborn child of someone else that my character was jealous of. This was before thinks so everything that I said to Drov I spoke out loud. That other girl had a miscarriage, and I often wondered OOCly if maybe the other player chose that for themselves, though ICly my character was convinced it was her working and took credit for the death. It seemed to me that things were really heating up for my character when I was visited by shadows (I assumed Drov) and gifted with a magickal metal ring. I fessed up to my Reynolte Lords that I was a magicker and I wound up getting killed by hired assassins. I would probably give just about anything now to know what happened to that ring. This was probably eight or nine years ago, right after drovians went into the game, whenever that was. This character lasted for about five days I think but it could have been a few more. At the time it was still my longest accomplished PC. Honestly I hardly used my magickal coded skills at all, and I was probably close to a fresh out of the box n00b in terms of what I could do, but I still felt like a complete and utter badass.
I once had a character of mine sacrificed by a drovian. It might not seem like the kind of thing you would want to brag about, but the play leading up to the deed was incredibly fun. His character and assistant played out being deceitful very well, and all of the feelings that I had inside of being eager to meet this person, though in the back of my mind being worried that something horrible might happen to me. Turns out my gut feelings were right, but it was one of the more interesting ends I've fallen to. Everybody always complains about the horribly non-roleplayed deaths they received. I got a great roleplay death, so nyah nyah to all of the rest of you.
I once had an evil mul sorcerer that tried to take over the Conclave and was killed while trying to escape their own vile clutches. :)
The character that I am most proud of would be a gemmer that I played in 'Nak. I accomplished many things for many people and received much acclaim and praise for my subservience to the Highlord. Just the sheer number of things that this guy was involved in staggers me sometimes. I thought I was pretty clever in handling both what I was charged with doing and with finding interesting ways for other characters to make money. Though he was a con man he really had a lot of nationalism for his city-state. When he was younger he survived by telling fortunes even though he had no illusion that he could not see the future. When he was older he helped rig arena fights to come out in a favored way. He turned in several of his own brethren for being treasonous because they did not show enough gratitude to the Highlord, and even a few that didn't deserve it because they angered him. He loved fat women passionately but was socially retarded concerning romance because of his background. There was one Aide in Allanak that I harassed constantly, that to me as a player had seemed to write out their description in such a way as to make her unattractive to other fuckme PCs and thus escape the mudsexxx legacy (come on, I'd have faded to black!). To my PC she was the most beautiful creature he'd ever seen, with huge tracts of land plenty of meat to support my babies. My only regret with him is that I had to go AFK in an emergency, right after I typed "kill mekillot"... constantly hoping that the unit of militia I was escorting on a scouting mission could handle it while I was gone. I can't really tell from my log, but I think they all ran within seconds of the time that I departed from the controls. Had to be my lamest death ever. I could probably brag about him forever though.
I paid for the assassination of an untalented bard.

THANKS A LOT. My PC got knocked out multiple times holding your rioting crowds back, jerkface.
Oh, I guess I can also add 'knocked out by a VNPC,' come to think of it.
With the same PC: guarded an unconscious body until a templar showed up to pick her, his sort-of-partisan, up; forgot to turn guard off before he
>order giant subdue girl'd, was saved from death because the HG's weapon shattered on impact, knocking me down to 8hp, and the next grazing fist hit thankfully only took me to 1hp and stun-knockout.
With the same PC: back-to-back with his templar patron, in the bottom of a ravine, encircled by dozens of summoned magical creatures, desperately fighting to survive in a real Hollywood blockbuster action moment. We made it. Those Plainsman RPTs fucking rocked.
I liked Baladan. I really crapped the bed by not having my own contemporous Tenneshi be cool enough to scheme with him : (
"The Grandfather" paid a visit to me to talk me out of killing someone
A weird day it was
Hmm, what else...
I once had a fairly large chunk of raw iron.
I had an Allanaki senator buy my common PC a drink.
I once saw three black-robes in the same place. (Unfortunately, I was still a bit too much of a n00b to understand how huge that was and to act appropriately. I was just like "wow, three black robes. Neat!")
One of my Oash commoner PCs used a luxurious, three-story-tall Oash wagon just to impress women.

Heh. I was there at the beginning of Davaz. Helped train him, I believe with Kune. (Pretty sure Kilem was already dead?)
Man. This was awhile ago.
Yeah, and I was there at the end. Like I said...
flee;flee;flee;flee.
The worst part is that my warrior, who was fairly well jacked at the time, for the first time in his life FAILED his flee attempts more than once. To add insult to injury, I am pretty sure Davaz's main weapon was swords, not the training club he almost killed me with his off hand. I think each one of Davaz's swing was like a maxed out backstab.
I think the scariest moment in my Armageddon career was when I saw Davaz almost get killed by those fucking psycotic quad spear throwing Gith of d00m that used to kill one person each and every time someone wandered into them. He didn't die, but two spears actually hit and did serious damage. Of course, he murdered them in a couple of hits, breaking a few swords in the process, but still... it just goes to show how horribly messed up those gith were.

I had a juggernaut of a Krathi. When a hunting competiition came up, he wandered out into the wastes and started frying up salt worms left and right. Everyone's reactions were priceless when he dumped out some giant heads onto the ground into the middle of the tavern. Oh yeah, he did this while being stalked by an otherworldly creature that would've significantly messed up any other character, but just provided to be a slight annoyance to him. With about ten minutes preparation time, he was nearly unstoppable when he'd go on a rampage.
For a while, he was one of the most experienced mages in Allanak. He had been around for a while, survived the Copper War from start to finish, and had all kinds of zany adventures. He became a small-time hero when he fried a 'Rinthi in the middle of a bar. He just wanted to show off and spread his name around, but somehow it became a hooah mage power thing and he just rolled with it. He left town for a while to do some soul-searching, and that was when the Council of Allanaki Mages propped up, with someone he deemed inferior representing Krath. He called them out, nearly shit himself and believed them to not even be from the same plane/dimension, and ended up anti-Council.
I could go on for days about that guy, but the main point of the bragging is that I had the most badass Krathi in the game. Maybe not the most powerful, but definitely the most badass. My only regret was that he got killed before he ever got a chance to use what was probably the Ultimate Doom spell.

I remember your PC's reaction to this and thinking it was some of the best damn RP I'd ever seen from a mage. Bravo.
I helped debug the Tuluk Undercity after it was first reworked.
Hey something to brag about! My character landed the killing blow against jcarter's uber Krathi. This was while a psychotic NPC in the vicinity kept chasing us around to spam-attack us (mostly me). The NPC kept dying and repopping during all of this, over and over again. My PC was half-dead just from being attacked by that NPC, who was in her clan!
My character, who had never seen one before, was given a thong to wear. She started out by putting it on backwards. I actually saved that scene. Funny stuff. :)

When you took me to Under Tuluk, that was my first "game secret." I was so totally thrilled about that.
I once did it three times in a row by shouting.
Took a guild_burglar with three poor stats (with an eventual age-based reroll) to become a longtime Kuraci sergeant, starting at age 13 until her death at age 31.
Witnessed the death of an Allanaki senator.
Suggested the feel command one morning in Code Discussion, and Tiernan implemented it that afternoon.
Played a character who died a very public arena death at the conclusion of the Copper War. (The character was a nobody, but the timing of the death and the most unfortunate string of events leading up to it were pretty wild.)
I had a character that stole all the remaining art and paintings from the Silverwood estate after Allanak took over Tuluk. The Borsail Governor didn't care that the paintings disappeared. I put them on display in an Art room.

I didn't notice any current IC info. Of course now that Spawnloser has pointed it out, I'm sure plenty of people will read the thread over again JUST to find that IC info, that they might otherwise not have noticed was there.
Gee, this feels like deja vu all over again.
Wait...
Allanak took over Tuluk?
Spawn's a good guy, but he's really paranoid about ... everything. Roll on, people, roll on.
Actually, there were a few things spoken about which I thought would put this thread into lockland. It's not just spawn.
I don't particularly mind, the game's almost over... but a lot of this is stuff that has happened within one RL year.
The game was almost over a year ago, too. It might still be almost over in a year.
The last thread was filled with awesome, too, and now it's gone. I'd rather the same thing not happen to this one.
Yeah, don't fuck up my beautiful thread. Did I mention picking my nose and chasing someone around with a glob of snot? Oh, yes, I did. Carry on.
That information helped me conquer a third of the world, Barz. Look what you've done!

I played a mute soldier who guarded this character and refused his bribery attempts :D.
In my first hour ever playing Armageddon I became a hunter in House Kadius when I met a certain family member whom is still around at the bar. I was a total noob.
Walked in on a mudsex scene and someone mispelled penis as pensi.
I played the shyest, most socially-uncomfortable, stammering servant possible and seduced Tuluk's most eligible, unattainable bachelor - completely on accident.
I once got so stunningly drunk in game that I thought I was bugged. I was at the "totally plastered" of drunk for about 5 in game days without having touch a drop of booze when I finally started to freak out. I figured either I was bugged, or got hit by some evil magiker curse. I wished up asking if I really was that drunk. I got back:
A staff member sends:
"You are, in fact, gradually getting better. But you were certainly stunningly drunk. It's a wonder you didn't pass out."
I have a feeling I some how managed to drink WELL past where most people pass out, and than drank some more. I guess there is no limit to how long you can get drunk, and the drunk value decays at a linear rate. The result was that I was stuck at "totally plastered" for over 5 in game days without drinking a single drop.
I had an immortal message me and said that one character of mine had the highest alcohol and spice levels they have ever seen.
I once lured another character into the apartment I had broken into, where a PC the other character had a crush on was sexing up -another- PC. So funny to watch everyones' reactions after getting him to come in the room by shouting for him to "Come in and join the fun" from outside.
I wish everyone involved understood just how amusing that situation was.
Quote from: Rindan on December 16, 2007, 12:45:29 PMI have a feeling I some how managed to drink WELL past where most people pass out, and than drank some more. I guess there is no limit to how long you can get drunk, and the drunk value decays at a linear rate. The result was that I was stuck at "totally plastered" for over 5 in game days without drinking a single drop.
Only five? You're aiming too low! The secret is to black out, wake up, drink until you black out again; repeat until you've passed out six or seven times in front of, say, Muk Utep.

I managed to bribe an Allanaki templar to not throw my second character into the arena with 1000 obsidian coins. He was just a Tuluki lumberjack, at that. It was fun!
Saw a bahamet taking a crap.

Once, I paid ~2500 sid to a nakki templar to let me finish smoking my spice BEFORE they threw me into the arena. Yeah... I wasn't even haggling for my life, just the spice.

As far as I know, the game only had one "The average man". So, there can be only one!
(it was not me i swear)
I dunno... I think "the giant walking penis" probably wins best sdesc.
My one PC (mundane) earned somewhere around twenty to twenty five thousand coins in the span of a month IG by selling utter 'kankshit' to a few commoners, nobles and templars.
My one PC was -saved- by Halaster. Twice.
I think I was the first to see Eniriah's Gith helmet IG last christmas. ;D <3 Eni.
This isn't something to brag about but I'll add it anyway. I think I'm the only, or one of a very small group to actually have one of my Lirathan's die to halfling poison. :-[

Two.
I 'made it' as an independent tailor, selling both to shops and people. I had over 50k saved, working towards buying a shop, as well as multiple silk outfits with matching jewelry and was coated in tattoos that were not cheap.
When a certain high ranking kuraci family member and I were skulking about in a lawless zone, Eniriah descended, and we were both spanked repeatedly.
I still don't know why.
I stood my ground against all of house winrothol alone, locked inside their compound, and would have escaped if I'd been smarter about the code. I stood my PC up against an entire tuluki force and slowed their pursuit alone. I had a character survive being tortured twice in the north and south respectively before finally dying to poison.
I do think I have had the QUICKEST death in arm history - aside from someone dying from a fall - at the hands of about 5 other PC's.

I had a pc get "order all kill"'d by four HG soldiers and nine human soldiers. I may have tied for the fastest. :)
I didn't even make it through half of the first round of combat. Insta-death. Bligow.
Are, so we wanna brag about sdescs, eh?
I'll play an old PC of mine as the trump card, here:
"the wicked mulish clown"
Named Sidwise. You just can't beat that.
I was once subdued by a half-giant in a jaiil cell and I was unarmed. The templar that killed me, took several rounds as I kept blocking them and they would get absorbed by my armor.
I have since learned to just give up in that scenario and not scream for justice.
I once had a character survive getting jumped by the Merchant's Gate guards, while mounted, with only one weapon out.
I forgot I was permanently crim-flagged, and they all sallied forth to bring great justice, heh. It was definitely a close one, though. Thank god for uber parry.
I've killed a mul that looked like a clown, literally.
I've been an officer (i.e. above sergeant) in four different noble houses, both north and south, but never thought of the Byn as worth staying in longer than the year as runner.
I once had a 4 hour dwarf ranger get hit by all 4 spears from the old roving gith death squads and live. And made it back to the merchants gates with a wopping 3 HP and 1 stam. Where he collapsed just as the soldiers rushed out to deal the highlords death on the death squad.
I am responsible for a few policy changes and room description changes in the game.
I think I'm the reason the rumor board in Meleth's circle was taken down.
Ginka Sauce, and Spice candy.
Seeker
I had a Byn Sarge who lead a contract from a vnpc that Halaster set up. The contract was to bring a duskhorn colt to a young Noble in Allanak. So we went out, chased down this duskhorn colt, subdued it, got food for it and kept it in the byn compound for while then finally rode it all the way to Allanak. Despite the duskhorn colt fleeing away from us a good many times, we made it to Allanak.
Then the gate guards killed it.

And you thought you had a safe way to smuggle in your spice stash...
Know that Kuraci wagon with the dwarf-sized door?
Yeah, that's right baby bought that wagon myself.
My PC and a friend of his were responsible for erecting a series of obelisks somewhere on Zalanthas.
I wasn't going to...but...okay.
Started in 1993.
Participated in the hunt for Vis and Wolf on Blackwing lands with like a 20 elf warparty.
Was in Kohmar.
Was an Ironsword.
Never in the J'Karr. Never in Salarr. Not in Kadius until 2003. Only one Byn ever.
Once was in the Conclave.
I've got a gate in Luir's named for one of my characters.
I've got a road in Tuluk named for another.
I've been both a mantis and a halfling, never a gith.
First burglar I ever played ran into Morcash in his wagon. I ran.
Lord Adaams (whatever is the proper spelling) once chased me from his crypt. THat was bad.
I too fought dolls and cups of blood in the back of my wagon.
I was one of the templars who died trying to fight the way to Tuluk, leaving a _FALE_ to get victory. Bleh.
I've been with three people who drove off the shield wall, one of the wagons still there was the fault of one of those parties.
If there's more, I forgot, but that's all I had to be bragworthy that was far enough removed to not be a spoiler, but almost so far I forgot.

Entering the apartment that once belonged to a psychopathic maniac.
...
And actually living there comfortably.
I once broke into an apartment, opened the door, saw two PCs resting on a bed and quickly closed the door behind me and snuck off.
The first character I got karma with was a half elf posing as a human. She wanted to make Sergeant before another dwarf that was rather newbish and a spam fighter. He decided to go help a friend somewhere and needed directions. I confess to giving him directions into the githlands, not giving him water before he started off (even though I had two skins on me). The dwarf subsequently thirsted to death in the Tuluki ruins. I then proceeded to mourn him infront of my companions. I would have made Sergeant before Burr too if I hadn't gotten into some magickal bad assery and gone nuts. I loved that character. :)

I once
lawfully entered an apartment and saw two PCs resting on a bed:
- my character's sergeant, and
- the person my character was psionically chatting with.
I backed out, psi-ing "herm, uh, well, wow, what was that?" type stuff. I don't think they ever knew.
Okay, that's not really a brag.
I once had a that took me 4 months to get permission to play. I played the mul for 2 days before storing it.
Oh yeah.
I once got 'banned', for playing my 3rd, 4th, and 5th characters in the game simultaneously. It was changed to suspension, though, which was enforced by the fact I could log into the game, but had my sole remaining character (after meeting a steel sword called 'mortal slayer') moved to an inn that had no exits. And I still logged in. I read helpfiles and practiced emoting. After being put in there by Brazen, I'd randomly have immortals stop in and talk to me, presumably because they were flabberghasted that I was still logged in for several hours a day. Here is where I met Zagren, the Lord of Dirty Underpants, who I believe is the one who let me out of my suspension three days early as a reward for LEAVING the game and going to play laser tag in the real world.
Here was where I first learned what a hardcore RPI is, and how much different from a hack'n slash mud it is. Rules exist to keep the role-play intensive. And I finally understood I'd found a gem, a game that really -was- role-playing. Not dick-around role-playing like you do with casual tabletop players. By the way, this was back when I was 15. I'm now 24. Sooo...be gentle with your judgements :P
I personally carried the written orders from a certain merchant House in the north to a certain noble House in Allanak that started the Copper War.
I once attained a very powerful magickal item with a ranger of mine, and because he was terrified of magick, I turned it over to the authorities instead of used it.....I often question my judgement there, but it was the right thing to do given my background. I have one karma.
Apparently, IMM's can come down to you in thier Immortal form...Halaster is here floating on a cload...or whatever. I once tried to "Hit Halaster" when I happened to be in a room with him many years ago, he came down because I had already done something in my newbieness that was very twinky. This may very well be why I have one karma...Yes, it was worth it....I will never have that opportunity again.
I once walked on a different plane of existence by myself as a character that was a ranger, no magickal abilities at all.
I have also ended up in a unfinished room with a character who had no magickal abilities.
I took the title Champion of Allanak once from the arena...small time I know, but for someone who plays only mundanes, it was big to me.
I once smuggled a Allanaki noble from Allanak to the north with a half-breed ranger of mine, and I even got her to wear a gith cloak in the process.
I actually fucked up enough to get personally assassinated by the leader of the Guild. Who I might add played me like a fiddle. Every assassin I play strives to be as cunning and smooth as that guy.
I once found an underground city that some npc humans were using, they attacked me at the entrance (old auto attack deal) and I killed them, then an imm took over another one and walked in. I told them it was self defense and they attacked me. The npc bought it, said something about not liking the two guys anyways, but told me there was one problem still. I knew of their underground city.
After some smooth talking, I ended up convincing them to pay me about 300 coins to keep it sekret and then agreed to help them spy on Allanak and acquire items they couldn't get for their underground city... I then hightailed it to Allanak, told a templar a half truth about the underground city, the templar demanded I show him/her where it was, I did, she cast some magick that blocked off the entrance and when I later went back to check it out, found the entrance collapsed with bones protruding from it.
The templar gave me 200 coins or so. So all in all I made 500 coins by being a horrible person and betraying the trust of however many squatters were in that city.
J-Rod
I used to work with Wulfgar, breaking into Kadian wagons and stealing all their goods. I stole once steel halfsword using an insider.
I kidnapped a noble from Allanak, killed his personal guards and moved him to Tuluk using a wagon which I could barely pilot, which I stole the day before from Tuluk.
Thrain recruited me on my 2nd character in the Labyrinth.
I broke into Samah's house when halflings were allowed to be played as burglars in the city.
I almost killed 20 guards (not at the same time) after typing by mistake 'kill giant' on the wrong target.
I could break into into any house in any city as I pleased ;D
I recently gave into the urge
think What a wonderful world
You think:
What a wonderful world.
Thats right, I thought to myself, what a wonderful world.
I immedietly followed this with....think OOC: Sorry, I couldnt help it anymore.
I once saw mansa's pc mudsexing...Seriously.
I blew up Borsail.
(Sorry)
I watched a noble use flash powder, only to have it blow up in his face with every attempt. And then I proceeded to tease him for IC weeks afterward, because he was missing his eyebrows and some of his hair due to the incident.

<<recent IC reference edited out by Belenos>>
I also remember training under Thanos, and fist fighting a half-giant in the desert for a few thousand coins.
I remember being on the silt flyer on the contract sujaal led into the silt sea to find a Silt Horror.
Fighting the a wyvern.
Hehehe, I remember I became a member of the AOD in allanak. I talked a salarri to taking me into his estate and when we got into his room I killed him. I then began to move in and loot the entire estate and wear his signet ring on my finger. Went back to the barracks and unloaded all the badass armor I could not wear or did not have on into my locker. I later got an email saying my locker exploded and logged on in jail. Was a noob then.

It's more common to wrestle humans thinking that they're cacti.
I once had a character who lived .... about 4-5 hours at best. During this time he managed to ... piss off that Mullish Boss of the Guild and get a 5 large debt put onto him, along with a 'grin' drawn on his face with a knife. Then managed to (maybe on his 2nd or 3rd hour of gameplay) get inside the guild HQ (how did he manage that, I dont know.), ransack it (he didnt take 'everything' but all he could carry, which was about ... 4-5k worth of spice, and maybe 3-5k worth of items), and then ... well ... try to sell it.
But instead of being a smart one and selling the stuff to NPCs, I decided to push it to PCs. He approached the Byn, who quickly (supposedly) recognized some of the stuff my chara was trying to sell as the stuff that went missing recently from Byn. He tried to sell it to the Kadians,, but well ... that took too long, and I wanted to get rid of that stuff fast. My hope was that I could get 5k 'sid off the items and pay those 5k as the debt the Boss put on the character. So It was kind of like repaying the debt to the Guild with their own stuff.
With Byn proving ... non cooperative, my character ended up stripped naked before a Templar, with two half giant Bynners tugging him from side to side like a rag doll. Considering how much spice he had in stripped cloak, Byn claiming his stuff, and very little actual 'cash', there was little way to get out of it. So ... I wayed the Templar that I could recover certain 'items' that were stored in the HQ. I saw them first, but didnt take them. Those sorts of items cant be really sold to anyone, but the guild or npcs.
The templar ended up giving my character his lockpick and sending off naked into the 'rinth to recover the stuff I promised him. Alas, to get inside the HQ again, I had to spice myself up. And to do that, I had to come back to an apartment where I stored all that spice. I evaded my escort half giants (baldy), got to my apartment, spiced myself to the brink, came out of the door and ... got one hit killed by the Bynner dwarf sargeant, who was waiting outside the door. So ... I guess the Bynners got all that stuff to themselves for free, the buggers.
All in all, I've managed to get into more trouble within those 4-5 hours then I did for a few lifetimes of other characters.
Funny thing about the way how I managed to anger the guild's boss. It was kind of funny. I'm moving my characcter out of the rinth for the first time and I meet the Boss on Hathors. We exchange 2-3 sentences, and he commends me on my use of southern accent. My character's got no southern accent, he spoke rinthie all that time. After a good thrashing, he ended up 'mimicking' southern accent just to get away with his head still screwed on. Conclusion ? Dont do spice!
PS:After rereading the post, I'm beginning to wonder if it makes sense. A lot of fragmented sentences, and skipped words. But it's 5:00 am, I'll be asleep the moment I finish this sentence.

Nope, My PC did not use blunt weapons. Or dual wield. Had to be unarmed...Oh, and his stats were on the silly side, which is why he did not use blunt weapons, in the byn using blunt he would have had MANY accidental kills sparring...rather then "accidental wink".

A very young half-giant tried to teach my burglar PC how to pick pockets. This big hulking brute managed to steal a basket without my noticing almost every time, and plant it back in my inventory whenever I noticed it was missing. Eventually I got just barely good enough to steal a basket from the sekrit clan boss when he was idling in the sekrit place. Good thing he wasn't paying attention at the time, or he'd have killed me a lot sooner than he did :)
I was that half-giant.
Once I pushed a great player to app for his/her first leadership role, and s/he went on to do an awesome job at it.
Another time someone apped a leadership role partly to play near my character, and they also did a great job at it.
Another time I decided to call for someone to fill a previously-VNPC family role, and the person who took the role was just coming back to ARM after a long absence and s/he got totally sucked into / addicted to playing, and was completely awesome.
Another time I took a clan that had no low-level minions in it, and built it up to have a handful of really cool roleplayers in it, playing those minion roles.

On my ... second I think character, I got invited into a Krathie temple and suckered to 'gather' inside Allanak. I was very new, and understood the helpfiles wrong, truly thinking that the only thing needed to cast a spell was knowing the spell combination, whatever guild you are. Oddly enough I survived the consequences.
I had a character in a unique situation where he found himself selling his own corpse to someone. :o That character had some -crazy- times.

Hung out with an odd crew that included Alkyone, Phaerys, Tellian, Rathaal, Ulathe, many others...
I knew Mia, Malkah and Mordaga in one life, Chrol, Kithian and Krenn in another...
I'm chopped lived now? Sheesh.
Note to self: scalp more people next time.
:D
I may have played Zalanthas's first professional wildlife photographer.
QuoteI once broke into an apartment, opened the door, saw two PCs resting on a bed and quickly closed the door behind me and snuck off.
Okay... There are a lot of things I could brag about... But I'm so modest and humble that I will only divulge this one, because it is so damn funny. One of these days I will write a proper short-story based on it, as well...
So... I broke into an apartment, opened the door, went in the first room, and THEN saw two PCs resting on a bed in the next room. I hide behind something for a minute, then decided that it wasn't worth risking being caught and left the room. Back in the hallway, I discovered that there was another PC busy looting an apartment I had unlocked previously.. Annoyed by this, I shouted something like, "Hey, we're in this other room, come join us!" while he was in the other apartment.
So, I hide and watch this guy stroll into the other apartment and start talking to these two other PCs... Who are totally freaked out. I find out that said guy had a crush on the female in the bed, and she doesn't believe him for a second that the door was unlocked and someone told him to come in... And manage to sneak out without being spotted.
OMG, I almost died right there.
"I swear, there was some guy in a mask!"
It has occurred to me that I may have already bragged about this. No matter, it's worth repeating. HA HA! Plus, when I clicked on 'new' the first thing I saw was the quoted post and it brought back the memory. ;)
I released the Dragon.

I once had a fairly large chunk of raw iron.
I'm fairly certain I know where that ended up.
And for one piece of bragging for me.
There's an IC mural of one of my PCs being a bad ass fighting off a dragon-like creature.
I'm sure I said this before... but...
I played a character - a spiced drunk - who used to pass out in front of those people who wanted to kill him.
Kudos to those characters who didn't pull out their weapons and kill me right there on the spot, but would rather see my character suffer, and go broke, because of their influence in my character's life.
I had a character with a FORBIDDEN noun, mentioned by Sanvean. It was pretty rad.
He also fucked corpses.
I had a PC who had a badass steel weapon custom-made. And then gave it away.
I invented the term 'nOObles.'
I played the aide of one of the most epic nobles evar.
Oh, and my clan is better than your clan.
I brought the sexy back to Red Storm.
I never had a PC who fucked a corpse. (I'm bragging about this because it seems like I'm one of the few who never did so in game.)
It felt like I was doing so with many of my mudsex partners, though.

I had a 1 day old dwarven assassin successfully shadow a Borsail Noble back to their estate and into their warehouse. Watched him excuse everyone, and lock himself and the aid in the warehouse. Watched them strip down and start mudsexxing. Picked up the key to the warehouse and then proceeded to murder them both. Blamed the whole thing on an elf. Escaped Templar custody role-played a stumbling getaway before hiding successfully. Escaped to the 'rinth, was granted refuge with Tor, and wasfinally tricked into confessing while blinded to the same Templar before being thrown into the arena, placed into a guillotine and having my head chopped off. Most exciting 1 day old Assassin ever.
I played a Rukkian elf that had a pet rock which he'd stroke and talk to at the Barrel since he didn't have any friends.
I played an older blue-robed Templar who liked to take people to the prison to suck their blood.
I played a disgusting rinthi half-giant that avenged the death of his Kuraci Half-Giant friend by murdering an entire tribe of desert elves(who Kurac framed for the death of the giant), went on a hunting mission with a group of Byn only to be attacked by them as they apparently had a bounty, survived the attack and returned to slaughter the unit of Byn. Eventually tricked by a Northern Templar into a locked room where I was attacked by 13 NPC half-giant soldiers.

I managed to play a single character who found their way into unfinished/old/closed/inaccessible areas of the game map not once, not twice, but three times... and couldn't get out. And I had this knack for always doing it in the wee hours of the morning when the chances of a benevolent staff rescue were slim to none.
I once encountered an interesting bug that, upon typing 'enter (safe clan area)' would transport the character in question into a room of highly aggressive muls.
I once sifted 62 grains of spice from a single deposit before it blew away. Over the course of like an hour.

Yeah! Mine was early in the morning, too. I was a little dumbfounded. And my character was just like, "My god, does this never end!?" and finally scrambled back in the gates after clearing the thing, just in time for dark.
It was surreal.
I hate you both, I never get more than 2 from it.

Hard to believe too, since I've never seen a deposit last more than a few minutes before blowing away on its own.
Weird, I've only sifted once, ever....i presumed they just lasted for ever, never dissappeared...and I'm off peak too.
I'm playing Arm on my laptop on a sunbed at the side of a pool in a 5 star resort in India.

I've junked metal. Gold, IIRC.
Sorry like on Page 3 of this but I'm gonna put this in.
I remember joining Khann's J'karr, going to get me some armor in Tuluk. My char was fairly old and I was an elementalist. Needless to say I collected many strange things. And as the fact that I didn't ever wear heavy armor, and almost every piece of clothing I had was a container...I start putting this armor on, and removing my clothing. Which I have to take everything out of. Now I had some pretty good strength, and I was always nearly encumbered already. So I start dumping my things on the ground. Kalan fruits, probably two dozen. Gith Skulls, probably two dozen as well. (I collected weird things) A barrel of water. Three Water skins. Knives. Knives. Knives. A few rocks I kept as souveneirs. A scroll case with scrolls (from back when anyone could write if you put it in your background, they took that away from us, but from a wish I got it so I could at least read the ones I had written) A small keg of spiced ale. I had this huge backpack, like the kind you see on cartoons I always imagined with some little old man with his house on his back and sticking out in all directions. Etc. It took an in game day and a half to get all my things reorganized and to give away what I couldn't carry anymore to my fellow J'Karr. I remember Khann and the rest just staring at me like I must be insane.
I remember thinking that if you slept with an Elkrosian you would get sex shocked to death. A Krathi would melt your parts. But a Whiran might blow your mind. That was fun to RP.
I remember being a Whiran and insulting the Templar PC's in 'Nak. I did this usually every other RL month. They never did catch me hee hee.
I remember being friends with a guy who was really cool. (Super long ago) And watching him speak to another mantis. He knew their language. I was stunned. Then later, finding out he was a sorcerer. But I couldn't bring myself to kill him, I'd been friends with him for years. I just avoided him from then on. Pretty wow for me.
I went and raided a tomb with Precenter Kul. No undead. I was disappointed. But I got a rock souveneir. I like souveneirs. Had it till I died.
Saw one of my friends, actually my mentor/teacher walk out of the desert buck naked because she lost everything due to a crash or some such. That was fun.
I remember being attacked by Belgoi with magick bells that put people to sleep. Scary. Nearly killed 20 or more of us there if I remember right.
Fell off the shield wall, so many times, I finally had my description changed to show that I was all busted and scarred up. I don't know how I survived all those falls. Lost a lot of kanks that way.
Three words. Giant, Undead, Mekillots.
Hurling Chatchka's at Giant Undead Mekillots.
Being stuck in an alternate dream world with some buddies where we were in Tuluk. Except EVERYONE else in Tuluk were zombie undead nasty thingies. Scary.
Being abducted by a certain immortal and being given a stern talking to by them. When I was still pretty new. Twice.
Travelling clear across the Salt Flats, to find nothing.
Searching for Steinal, for years. I won't say anything more about that.
I think that's all I better say, cause some things I think might still be to IC.

lol, bad account notes
I was once given a reward of 3000 'sid for being an awesome byn lieutenant.
I still had that 3k on my body when I died a couple days later. The sole death. A few seconds after that death, the mud crashed, and everyone logged back in at the gates. They had to do the attack all over, I heard. Except for me. Because I died in the future.
I captured that roc on a whim. Almost by accident. I flew it around for a few weeks before deciding it was more valuable than it was fun.
Plus my regular mount was way scarier and hella cooler.
I just got my first kudos! Sounds shitty compared to your tales and adventures, but feels nice...
I had one character get seven five kudos in one day. ::)

No, I wasn't a Jihaen. I was a guide. Figure that one out if you can. And no, we didn't get a crown. Got something else pretty sweets. Hell it's been forever since then, it was a pyramid stone thingy. Gem like if I recall.

On my first hour with my new PC I managed to steal a sack of teeth or some shit from someone. A templar searched it later, and thought I was a member of some group of cultists threatening the city-state at that time who apparently like teeth. He tortured me to confess and eventually killed me. When I came in contact with him next time he OOC'd "Holy shit! I was completely convinced you were a member of X group."
It's cool. Kudos is dependent on who you are playing with. That one character got five Kudos, but all together I've only gotten six or seven. You just have to be near some people who remember to give out Kudos, and have them catch you in the act of something they think is worthy.
By the way, there should be a marker on you account that you can see how many kudos you have gotten. And how many you have given. And stuff like that.

Well, I don't send kudos to people I don't play with, 'cause...you know...I'm not psychic or anything. And I don't think we've played together.
Though it's entirely possible I messed up and just didn't send you one, if we have played together. There have been a few people I've missed, where later on I've smacked myself for not sending kudos. I do my best, but I'm not perfect.
If you play who I think you play, then we have played together. Just not very often or recently. I'm just joking anyway. :P
Don't you worry about inflation in the kudos market, though? Or at least the Gimf-kudos market?
Quote from: Marauder Moe on April 07, 2008, 01:08:32 PM
Don't you worry about inflation in the kudos market, though? Or at least the Gimf-kudos market?
Not really, because I tend to send kudos for very specific scenes or qualities. For example, "I really thought your emotes and reactions during that scene last night were top-notch and it added to the overall experience." Or, "Your consistent play in adherence to the documentation regarding magickers is really helpful to me in my own play." Or, "It looks to me like you're doing a great job of clan leadership and your people are really happy." Or, "It seems like you're new to the game and really trying hard, and I wanted to give you an OOC welcome and some encouragement, even though my character was ICly not very nice."
In my opinion, people (in life generally as well as in ARM) really appreciate and thrive on specific compliments, so with kudos I try to send really specific compliments. All us ARM players have different strengths in the game, and that's what I try to recognize and let people know I appreciate. Personally, while I like getting a kudo that just says, "You rock," I enjoy even more getting a kudo that tells me how or why.
I'm trying to be coherent but feel like I'm failing. What I'm really trying to say is: Negativistic criticism tears people down. Positive criticism includes letting them know what they're doing well, and it builds people up. Kudos are one of the ways I try to contribute OOCly to a positive, mature environment in ARM. I don't see them as some kind of special candy only to be given out to the perfect children who've 100% earned it. If that was the criteria, certainly none of us would "deserve" kudos.
And on the flip side, most people don't think this way and/or just don't think about sending kudos. So even the most awesome of players get kudos probably much less than they deserve. Therefore, I'm not bothered by not getting kudos, and I know it doesn't mean I'm not contributing or not good at some things.

Maybe it was said before, but also try to send more kudos to obviously new players who you think are doing very well. That little ego boost might just be what it takes for them to stick through the harsh learning period.

That is -very- impressive. I'm going to have to guess this was a special apped character.
My last PC died knowing sirihish, allundean, bendune, cavilish, kentu, heshrak, anyar, and the northern, southern, rinthi, and tribal accents. Was close to learning tatlum, nrizkt, and a secret other language.

That's pretty impressive, especially when you consider that the accent code has only been in place for a couple years, and the Anyali clans have been out of the game for a lot longer than that.

In return he offered two 'bitches' that would be his slaves.
The shits were supposedly the size of Allanak proper.

The all-star armageddon thread forces me to post things because I just remembered a few older PCs and some hilarious things.
With one of my first PCs, my character (burglar/house servant) tripped over Vedalarin. Or Quintus. Hell, it was some big hoity toity Borsail. Like, seriously, tripped over him.
Rather than kill my PC, he sniffed indignantly and somehow got this other PC, his aide, to give me a job as a servant. Pearl was her name.
So freaking awesome. Then I mention "oh btw I can break into houses" (little did I know what this even meant, since I didn't understand you had to train skills then).
I get used as some sort of liason (sort of) to the Guild with another notable guild person that you may see in stories: Serpent. Wow. I just remembered this like today...and it blew my mind that I was around for some of that.
Then I took a break from Arm and came back and made another PC. Cue next story.
I played an atrium PC (merchant/linguist) under Pearl, as a Host with one of my first long-lived PCs ever.
Got involved heavily with the politics of the South and with some other Merchant Houses and NEVER touched my merchant skill list because I didn't know how to do anything.
In fact, I was so code-dumb at the time that the only skills I used successfully were listen, languages, and contact.
I don't even think I knew what barrier was then.
A staffer made the mudsexing my character was doing with another PC audibly heard in another room of the Atrium. Cue hilarity. "I was teaching her languages! I swear!"
My next PC was a ranger/something that was a spice sifter in Red Storm. Ended up going to Luir's with Shatuka because she was down for a recruiting trip.
That same PC lost (I shit you not) 6 House Kurac issue mounts. Usually after we'd get into a fight and have to flee and I'd forget to hitch the mount. You know the guy that you would always be pissed about leaving stuff around or being a general fuckup? That was my PC.
That same PC was also one of the worst combat PCs in the game, ever, to get a combat leadership role. EVER. I shit you not on this as well, for I have no reason to lie about sucking the worst.
Wow. Thanks for all of the memories, any players I mentioned here. You are my inspiration.
I have personally seen what it is like when Imms dislike you ICly.
We were on a trip into halfling Territory, when a PC named Kerdon experienced it.
He had scan on, we encountered a halfling hunter and it was about 2 IC hours before dawn. There was a sandstorm and we were limited to one room away during the day. At night, it was like it this "You can't see a thing; sand swirls about you!"
Well, this guy just left the tent and was at full health when we lost total vision. Here is a sniper shot from a halfling. He was wearing a full faced helmet. So, the only thing ICly I could think of was, "The imms hate this guy."
QuoteA thin throwing knife flies in from the west and strikes a faint shape's head.
A faint shape cries out in pain.
A dusty bone-handled, obsidian hawkblade clatters to the ground as a faint shape releases it.
A faint shape crumples to the ground.
Well, if you were expecting nobody to die during a trip through sandstorming halfling territory, I'd imagine your friend's death was more due to poor planning than immortal favoritism.
But that's just me.
...There was the case of some fantastic dwarven warrior...
One of the best in the game.
Who used to go into the 'rinth and kill stuff.
..Back when there was no gangs, and no aggressive NPCs in the Labyrinth.
And he was killing some more NPCs in the 'rinth...
And an Immortal named Zagren saw this POWERFUL, FULLY-GEARED DWARVEN WARRIOR just killing people for fun in the 'rinth.
So he pops into a dirty muscular man, and sneaks, and SAPS the DWARVEN WARRIOR WITH A GOLD HELMET. BAM right through the helmet! Crushes the Dwarf's Skull.
So, next time you're doing something stupid, like killing NPCs in the 'rinth while wearing a gold helmet - THINK TWICE.
/Zagren told me this story while he was driving me to the APM in Chicago in 2001
//true story.

The imms make mistakes sometimes. Unfortunately, the throw code doesn't know what kind of helmet you have on, and even imms can't specify what part of the body you want to throw the weapon at. We also don't have 100% control over the damage we do with skills while switched into an npc. The goof here looks like it was killing the guy in low visibility. Maybe they were hated, but it was probably just a mistake. I've definitely killed a pc before with an arrow when I didn't mean to, and I felt terrible afterwards. Sorry, awesome Bynner!
I thought it was awesome. The knife was probably shot out of a cannon that was being blown by 4 unseen halfling warriors. Can't prevent that.
:o
I entered the Sanctuary naked, asked if anyone had an extra pair of pants then looked down and was suddenly equipped with a tunic and a pair of pants...then my character suddenly though: I should really get some pants.
-.
I had man-sex with Mansa's PC. And it was a total IC Spoiler.
My half-giant painted his inix silver. Because he thought it would get stronger.
Now there's -real- silver inix. I bet they just stole the description.
Nooo I came here to see slipshod's post. But he stole it. :'(
One time I made a character, with the OOC consent of a Borsail Lieutenant, who was going to follow him around singing songs about his bravery. Think "Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robiin!" from Montey Python. But when I met up IG he put my ass through the Atrium. Now, I have a hard time getting into non-combat roles, and I love to take stupid risks. This is why I've had over 100 PCs in about 4 years. I gotta get some fighting done.
Anyhow, after a full RL month of "the fork goes next to the knife, with the spoon on the opposite side of the plate" I was getting REALLY BORED!! Not to mention the Lt I was to sing about the bravery of had stored. So one day, while the Host was having wine with Lady Borsail in some sitting room I wasn't allowed in by myself, I decided to idle in the next room and change my locdesc to "is here, taking a piss in Bob's grill." (Bob being the name of the cook who had a George Foreman grill set up in the next room.) Left it for about 20 minutes while I surfed the web. Not really good RP, but just imagine what one of them must've thought if either had typed 'look east' ?
-----
Was wearing my pants on my face in a sandstorm to protect it from stinging sand. (Oh yeah, did I mention spice?) They were caught by a wind and got hung up on the dragon statue. Had to walk bare-assed back to the bar and ask around for a fresh pair.
-------
My soldier was having a hard time dealing with some noble murders going on at the time. He was the only witness to see the killer. Didn't catch him. Was having harsh dreams about it when they were interfered by an immortal who gave me two emotes that held very vague clues toward who the killer was.
I stole from a powerful character and lived. ;D

I stole three silver rings...and got rid of them as fast as possible. Metal is trouble.
Herm ... the only cool thing I've managed so far is not to die while hunting in the wastes.
Did manage to outrun a sand raptor all the way from the red dunes back to the plains gate of Tuluk (as a human without a mount) ... little bastard wanted me so bad he was trying to beat the gates down with his head.
A character of mine once found a noble signet ring on a midden heap.
I sold a steel helmet to Kurac, who turned around and sold it back to the templar I "stole" it from.

I must hear the story behind this someday.
EDIT: Mainly because of the picture. It's brilliant. There's obviously an interesting story behind the scene, but so many questions are left unanswered. Is the second frame the past/present or the future? Is that her baby? What was someone with a baby (or at least a toy) doing out in the desert? Were they raided? By who? Did anyone survive?
Can't answer those questions. Alas, far too recent to delve further than generalities, but that is a sweet picture, and a good story, all told!

I remember that, bwhahaha.
I had a pc who was in the dunes with other pc's, and I decided to have a little fun. So my pc just started randomly sing stuff that rhymed. I didn't even get a chance to mount my inix before three raptors entered the room and all attacked me. I lived! only to have the leader of the group raise a crossbow at me and tell me that If I ever sing again he'd shoot me. I don't know if that was Imm work or not, but I laughed SO hard, after screaming at my computer because I started to lag once I started getting attacked.
One of my characters once DM'ed a role playing game. ::)
I grabbed the bottom piece of Tek's Tower on my first try.
Many years ago, I played a military posterboy under Ihsahn(If I remember right) who...
Was in a series of arena matches/had an ex-sex-slave trophy girl/thwarted an assassination attempt
simply by being pretty twinked out/died to a subdue kill because I hadn't slept and did something very
stupid. :)
Before that I played one of the last of the J'karr, and died defending my mate against ever-growing waves
of jakhals, trapped and with his back to a wall.
I had a very young assassin during the rebellion who was clanned Guild, but traded goods between them and
the rebels for a profit.
I stole a total hottie from a famous bard with a 16 year old character.
Recently, a mundane character of mine was hands of winded by someone scary, but my character got pissed because
the sand tore his cloak, and he ran -towards- the source of the spell, and survived.
My character is about 10 hours old and I received two Kudos messages from players.

Trying to make it pallindromic
NO! When I read the board I want to read interesting stuff! Not dying star threads with millions of quotes!
Brandon
P.S. Palindrome with stars..
Rats live on no evil star
I notice it is always the same two or three people derailing threads.
I've witnessed over 10 quote - within - quote wars on the Armageddon GDB and survived them all.
Also, way to try and kill the thread, guys. Take it to OOC :(
One of my characters came back from -7h. Against a mantis.
Why don't you take this (EDIT: derailing quote pyramid) to another thread? I like this one and don't particularly want to see it locked.

Hmm ... my character lost his mount in the middle of tembo and longear tribal country ... then found it again a month later.
One of my characters (years ago) recovered from -10 hp and went on to survive another 120+ days of playtime.
I once played a rinth girl.
Who had everyone convined she was sweet and innocent despite the fact she was a whore.
Then got over a dozen people killed in the most inderect means possible.
No one ever knew.
I'm kinnda proud of it.

Back in the day when the queue for character applications was cleared only every two weeks or so...
I would sit and check my email constantly. Play when I got approved, die with amazing speed, and make another app again really quick to get approved again before the immortal finished their way down the queue.
Maybe I shouldn't be proud of that.
I've had a character killed by an IMM ran gith.
I had another character hunted down by an IMM ran gith knocked out and her pet songbird was promptly crushed and eaten before she was saved by a magicker who made her disappear only to be seen by a mundane who was convinced she herself was a magicker. The ironic thing was she was a half breed who really wished she was a magicker so that no one could make fun of her for being a breed, but alas was not.
Magick was once so rare I had a character of mine murdered for witnessing an elder tribal witch cast and remarking about it later privately at an inn table. Ironically, this was my first time to experience or see magick in Armageddon. They were that serious about hiding identity or association with those powers..

i had a character cut away from his byn troop by an imm ran (or pc) mantis.
He was rescued by the byn troop, and night fell, so they setup camp and a guard.
It burst through the guard in the night, crashed the tent my char was in, and drug him away.
Cool scene for everyone else, but I was a little miffed if it was indeed imm ran.
I once said, with a long lived character to an IMM, ya know, we are doing all this crazy stuff, but it doesn't seem that dangerous, we hardly ever die.
I died next RPT.
Don't be stupid.
Due to several requests, I've moved the quote pyramids to a thread in OOC Chatter. That's where stuff like that belongs.
Had a character come back from -9 HP once. The mind boggles.
I once had a character take a spear to the gut for 111 points of damage to round out at -7. Not only did this character survive, but he survived a year longer.

HG spear? Thrown? Thrust? Two handed? Did your character have armor on?
This strikes my curiousity.

And by spear he means sharpened log, and by sharpened log he means ballista, and by ballista he means Lord Fancy Pants finally expelled the stick up his ass.
He walked in when it happened.
Just bad timing really.
I once didn't know that -10 was death and thought my 1 hp left survival was extremely cool.
Now a seasoned old pro at 1 RL month later, I know that I was not very cool after all.
I still don't know if zero stamina will kill me or just make me pass out.

I've reenacted no less than three scenes from "Jurassic Park" with my current character.
Only one actually involved raptors.
Oddly enough, none of these scenes were particularly jarring or OOC in any way. They all fit really well for what was going on at the time.
Clever girl.

I've done and/or seen and/or gotten things that I can -never- put on this list, nor be more specific about it than I just was.

Can I brag about my character:
a- Not being too convinced
b-knowing that people got killed
c- if your the character I'm thinking about I really enjoyed the char.

So not everyone was convinced, but they never seemed to bother her about it.
I'm still suprised by how many people she got killed.

Another time, with a magicker, I teleported into a deserted zone. It looked some some clans super-sekrit hideout, but the problem was that there wasn't a way out. There was a cliff, but the code wouldn't let you walk off. There was something that looked like an elevator, but it didn't move. Creepy. Then some helpfull imm offered to simulate jumping off the cliff for me, if I wanted to try that. Foolishly, I said yes, thinking that my magick would protect me from getting hurt but co-incidentially the spell wore off part way down. :? I still wonder what that place had been.

I played a certain character whom after being lost in the desert and starving and dying of thirst, found a dead body with water and food on it and only a pair of pants. He removed all his equipment, took only the pants and then somehow made it back to the city.
He then proclaimed to all that he had magickal pants and that they were very magickal.
He was tortured for being an annoying git.
He was beaten up for being an annoying git.
Templars demanded his pants and...well actually I don't remember what happened too much, but he lived.
He eventually died from starvation in one of the taverns of the city.

What an ending!
My first 'serious' character, an old pickpocket from the 'rinth, found the corpse of the dead leader of the Guild (apparently, as I found out later). In true 'rinthi fashion I went, 'Oh sweet, awesome armwraps!' and wore them around, looking plenty awesome. Until Lady Tor, who was keen to that kind of thing, beat the shit out of me, thinking I was the leader of the Guild.
I had a staff member once tell me that I was responsible for the proliferation of "retarded" as a popular word in Zalanthas.

I played a certain character whom after being lost in the desert and starving and dying of thirst, found a dead body with water and food on it and only a pair of pants. He removed all his equipment, took only the pants and then somehow made it back to the city.
He then proclaimed to all that he had magickal pants and that they were very magickal.
He was tortured for being an annoying git.
He was beaten up for being an annoying git.
Templars demanded his pants and...well actually I don't remember what happened too much, but he lived.
He eventually died from starvation in one of the taverns of the city.
What an ending!
Yeah!
And the last emote he saw was "Someone kicks you in the gut as you lay on the floor writhing"
So I was kicked for being an annoying git.
Every character of mine who's had a description change has lived for quite some time after it.
(Why yes, I did just jinx myself.)
My three most epic characters have all gotten down to 1HP and lived.
This always happened within my first 3 days in game.
Then they went on to live for 25+ days and be very succsessful. I guess getting down to 1HP made them really appreciate life. *shrugs*
My most favorite characters have been killed by extremely horrible animals.
Like from > 1 year ago, my Kuraci that got killed by a silt-horror in like... two hits.

I says alot that you survived the first. ;)
Every single throwaway character I've ever created has rolled awesome stats, then been promptly replaced with a special app'd character who rolled mediocre-to-terrible stats.
I consider that brag-worthy simply because it's so damn consistent. ;)

You too, huhh? Must be a psi bug that is reading our RL minds when we submit the apps.... damn the ghosts in the machines!!! >:(
My most long-lived char nearly died at age 16 to soldiers at the Allanaki gates when I forgot about the spice she had in her pocket. She survived the subsequent beating and recovered from -9 hp to go on and live to a ripe old middle-age, somewhere in her early thirties.
I never stopped twitching in wary expectation each time she passed through those gates, though.
I've done some silly, silly things:
On one of my first few pcs, I met Desertman's pc, though I was a human and he an elf I believe. A halfling or some other nasty mob started whacking D, but I couldn't understand his shouting. (We were conspiring on yahoo in different classrooms). The asshole then uses the ooc command, shouting: Subdue me and run east to the gates.
Before I have time to react, in swoops Halasturd. Naturally, James tries hitting him. Wow..that was a long time ago. ::)
Halaster's pc killed me. I still hate him for it.
I've had no less than two metallic weapons, possibly three, can't remember.
I played a magicker desert assassin for Tuluk during and after the Copper War.
Backstabbed a templar and ratted him out to his superior. He was wtfpwned. Never trust an elf.
A pc of mine was a half-rantarri hybrid.
I did the monster mash at a dance. I got bitched at. :-\
I forced my minions to perform in an 10+ npc undead orgy. Who needs a mouth for oral pleasure?
I survived getting chomped on by a wyvern.
I ordered minions of mine to do the monster mash. I was alone, so I suppose it was more acceptable.
I ended up south of Luir's with a templar due to magick. Hilarity ensued when Felysia, my pc, and the Kuraci gate guards got into it. Rather tense, but hilarious.
I built the Legions up to a 10+ pc-strong clan that kicked ass. Some of the best times I ever had was hobbling my gnarled ass into the sparring hall and watching the soldiers begin their routines before personally training the clannies in tactics, maneuvers, etc. You guys rocked.
I watched in horror as a powerful year+ old mage get obliterated by a mage significantly younger and not nearly as experienced. Ouch.
I had a nasty scuffle with a certain mantis that last a month or so rl. That bastard harassed my pc forever, but he got an eye taken out in the process. Was awesome seeing him stalk me later on with the proper description change. :D
I'm the reason for a few changes to code in the game regarding magicky things. Not something I'm proud of, heh.
I played in the Rebellion. Fun times.
I created a desert elf tribe that at one point in time had close to 10 active pcs. I've also created a city elf tribe in a nasty part of town that I'm particularly proud of. UT needs some lovin'.
Masha attempted to raid me once - I fought back, and lived!
I was appart of the Klestion debacle, though I wasn't the jackass who started that mess. Guilty by association I suppose..*bows with a flourish*
I played a twinky burglar around 2001 or 2002. I looted multiple Kuraci compounds and offices, completely ignoring the npcs/vnpcs. I mean, I was sneaking, but c'mon, this was a 2 day burglar. Nessalin subsequently unloaded on me. I lost my perty metal dagger and died a horrible, horrible death.
I had my legs fed to something rather nasty. Very slow-like.
I wanted to kill every one of naatok's pcs. Badly.
I've seen npc creatures that to this day have never been discussed on the board. I've also seen them destroy critters you'd normally think of as badass. :-X
I killed a couple of Krath's pcs. Possibly several. *flex*
I killed a couple of Delerak's pc's I think. *double flex*
Delerak killed me with his gith. *dies*
I'll try and think of more later.

QFT.
And that girl was my PC too. :D
One of my rangers with only 3 RL weeks played killed a beetle using a spear/shield with mostly average stats, then promptly died to beetle #2 in the room nw of there. :|
Played a magicker for months without casting a single spell. (Done this twice)
Once used the line, thanks to a very good friend's suggestion, "My testicles would be all over you like a pit gortok on a tregil." to a nothern militia woman, as a southern visitor. Naturally she blushed, and subtly stabbed me to death some days later.
I once had a warrior.
As soon as I went into the game the first time, I bought armor, a weapon, and some water, then went hunting. I killed 2 scrabs in under 2 hours playing time. I went back to the city and found a cool blue edible object. The gate guards annihilated me.

I did that too, once, after I was accepted for a high karma magicker class. I was so scared that the Staff would watch me and decide to never grant me a special application ever again if I didn't stay in a straight path of no
twinking that I just decided to never cast any spells with that character, hah.

I lost every karma point I had for that at the time, which wasnt much, but still.

You dont know how many times I sat and thought..."Man, that could have gone differently."...But in the end, it was a cool death.
I don't think pof Durg/Durgan is still around, but I remember him relating his story to me before. Apparently, before he became known as the legendary Durg Hookhand, he was a 1 hour old newbie that had popped, bought starting gear, and got summarily chomped on by some gortok. This was around 2001 -2003, far before the time where dying under the threshold repopped you with your starting coin/newbie gear. He popped back as a nekkid little dwarf - consequently, he found a gortok jaw and used this as his sole means of protection until he slowly built his way up to what he eventually became. At the time of his death the Bloodriders were pretty pimping. The staff took good care of this clan, and Durg even got ahold of a spot in Freil's where he had his own shop. His business got so good he was cutting in on Salarr's profits. We all known how these things turn out. ;)
To make things all the more epic, he was the one lone pc to ride out and meet the wyvern at the Scaien when everyone else, including the templars, bitched out. I believe I saw him land a nick on the wyvern before he got his hand chomped off. Cool pc, even though the player could be a total dick to the staff at times.

Yeah, good times. I was playing a half giant with him, and was trying to kill his killers but they all retired. Booo. Plus he made me a massive wooden shield, with a starburst carved in it.
Durg Hookhand and the bloodriders were the ones that got me into this game, when I was a fresh-faced newbie that had no idea what to do or where to go. Those guys, and an Anyali named Kiya.

Huh, I was playing off and on around then and had a guy in the bloodriders when they first started up, I believe. I think I helped design and order some of their cloaks/ponchos. I had an ongoing string of battles with some desert elf and he finally killed me in Tuluk near the Poet's Circle or something.
I once played a pickpocket that happened across a noble lady in the Bard's Barrel, years ago. She was petting a bird at a table and was guarded by some NPC brute.
I think to myself..
"Feckin' upper class kank-feckin' whore! Who does she think she is, coming to -MY- bar?"
I stole her bird and emoted dashing off out of the door into the crowds. She noticed and followed.
I then junked the bird, emoting grabbing it by both legs and tearing it in two. She cried. I laughed.

Easily the coolest death I've ever seen.
*bows* Axel did have the coolest death ever.
Was an inaugural member of the Salarri Erdlu Death Squad.
Borsail aide PC of mine (one of my very first pc) was forced to overdose on spice by the order of her lady.
Must be one of the most expensive deaths....ever.
One of my PCs got to die two deaths (kinda), and it didn't involve a staff rez.
I sniffed a brick.
I survived.
Doesn't matter whether the brick was bugged or not. Point is..I sniffed a brick..............and survived.
Took someone from a completely different culture, moved them to a certain city, had them join that city's militia through lying their way in (despite having an incriminating accent,) got this person banished from the city for insubordinate behavior with no clothes/armor/equipment/mount, managed to get to 2.city, somehow became a slave in this new city, and eventually became a commoner again before dying. (phew.)
Responsible for finding a certain fort of certain abominations in a certain sewer system.
For starters:
I once played a Tuluki noble who... ended up killing all the PC guards in her House for various reasons. When no one was left, I ended up storing. But it was for personal reasons. :P
I once played a Kuraci who went on various badass missions with various badass people in a unit full of badasses. We, four Kuraci PC's, took down dens of gortok. One time went out into the mantis valley, three of us, and took on six mantis. Then after that, took on about fifteen gith warriors (unsure of the number, all I remember is my screen scrolled with the amount of gith in the room) and survived... all three of us.
Those come first when I think about it.. but I'll try and think up more. - I have some nice ones but they're toooooo recent. :(

I've probably bragged about this PC more than anything else I've ever bragged about my whole entire life.
I like doing it a lot. Maybe one day I'll publish it in a fairy tale compilation.
So anyways, once upon a time, a long enough time ago, I had a mundane human PC that just refused to die. She was put to
negative hitpoints three different times over the course of her life, not including the fourth and last time when she finally bit it.
She went bahamet hunting with this half-giant once, and when they actually managed to kill a few, she got addicted to it
and started to kill them by herself. No crazy magick, no crazy magick items. Just items you can buy in the store and dead bahamet.
One fight took almost two real life hours because once it "shelled," it would regenerate all its HP before she could get it out again.
She even got an egg from one she killed once and tried to hatch it, but I think some asshole in her clan tried to taste it.
Eventually she got killed when she got thrown off her mount while fighting one (or two? I forgot. I think the second one came as a surprise).
It was probably one of the few deaths I don't regret - having a PC die in her prime die while doing what she did best. I was sad, but I guess it beat getting
killed by a 5 day magicker who types like a lolcat while you're taking a nap or something.

WAY ahead of you, I am just waiting for the "Year" mark to pass.
I sooo want to brag about my char, but I can't, since it's ongoing. I love the plot twists that go on in this game. Quite fun too, considering that it's only my first month into this game. Who says you need to be a warrior to have all the fun? 8)
So.. this "don't post things about a character alive a year ago" thing, do you guys mean an Earth year or a Zalanthan year? ;)

I once played a Tuluki noble who... ended up killing all the PC guards in her House for various reasons. When no one was left, I ended up storing. But it was for personal reasons. :P

I once drove a wagon off shield wall and had to be rescued... I think. I can't remember perfectly it was so long ago. I think I played a half giant. My twinky boss roleplayed the fall in a wagon off of shield wall by getting up, dusting off and making my poor giant lug all the loot out of the wagon. Good times. My giant got claustrophobic when she got penned up in the northern compound and freaked.
That scene is always reminiscent of an elephant gone mad in my mind.
About 1 1/2 to 2 years ago my sorceress's dumbass actions was the catalyst that caused Tuluk to mount a big raid on a nifty home where me and other evil magickers lived at.
(I imagine that's long enough ago that it shouldn't be a problem).

I once saw a prominant House family member get kicked in the crotch by the corpse of a still thrashing NPC I had just finished tortureing to death.
Kudoes to the IMM who made that thrashing corpse kick the above mentioned House family member in the junk, that was priceless.
Hah! Wouldn'tve been much torture going on if I hadn't've held the tortur-ee down!
Good times.
Good times.

One hit KO's:
Carru, Dwarf, human, halflling, gith, elf.
With a non magicker.
I once saw a dude get his arm taking off by a flying boulder.
I'll leave out the details but he was wielding two weapons not long after.
Bwahaha!
One of my PCs had sex with men, women, prominent members of every GMH (except Nenyuk), a southern noble, a northern noble, members of 3 separate tribes, 3 members of the -same- tribe, a sorcerer, a psionicist, and an NPC.
Wheeeee.

... I found the log!
Man our staff kicks so much fucking ass it's not even right... Our staff is Chuck Norris isn't it?
I branched thrice in a single day....
(All right.. I was building up the skills for two IC years, but still, it felt good.)
I got ShaLeah to start playing again.
With one D-elf I had liked to collect various city folks insignia and flaunt it as an accomplishment that I had either traded for it, killed for it, or just managed to get my hands on the stuff.
The stuff included:
Byn sergeant sleeves,
Borsail silver ring,
Salarri epaulette,
AoD cloak,
Guild item (sekrit),
Tan Muark knives,
A handful of apartment keys back when there were -way- fewer apartments,
Some templar's personal diary,
and some other stuff I cannot remember. It was fun making plans to collect the stuff, and he treated it sort of like the native americans 'counted coo' (sp?). A sign of accomplishment for him.

Uh oh, were you one of the five+ male chars that tried to mudsex me? =)
I lost a hand to a Silt Horror.
In Luir's.
Hey, so you did.
And then Only He Stands There and I tamed it. And I carried it around for a while after it shelled up like a gurth.
I was sleeping in a none flag area, and only got robbed, get to live to talk about it.
I injested cleaning fluid, in the Oashi barracks.
Upon realizing I was poisoned, I ran to the Vivudian Temple.
At around 10 hp left, an Imm jumped into the NPC stationed at its entrance.
At this point, I had emoted vomitting blood and all sorts of disgusting shit all over her robes.
She replies to this with:
"Quite a situation we have here...Are you Council?"
I responded:
"I AM DYING!"
>You feel something inside your body snap as you dry heave.
>Welcome to Armageddon!

The same thing happened to me too. I ate something I shouldn't in a Tuluki tavern and start puking. An imm animated templar (I think) walks up to me and tells me to get out of the tavern, and puke outside. Once I get out the templar asks me something to the effect of "what have you gotten yourself into?", I respond with a gagging grunt and then die.
Me and my byn corporal captured a gurth and stuffed it in the sergeant's locker in the storeroom. The gurth was just supposed to scare him when he opened the locker but the gurth was a free spirit and broke the locker trying to sneak out. Mister gurth did not know that Stockroom Automul never sleeps. The sergeant went into the storeroom the next day to find his crap everywhere with gurth bits.

My first character never died. She lived more than an IC year and got to be very well known, to the point where she accidentally exiled another PC in pretty much the entire north. I'm still OOCly sorry because I know it wasn't a fun time being exiled for the other player. Sorry other player.

The 'non' mage celf would probably win the game. You dont have to be rinthi, infact being rinthi 'helps' you join a delf tribe, since you're less affiliated with the templars and their Highlords.

No one but the person who approved his app knew he existed... And maybe a few critters. But they didn't live to tell the tale.
I had a Tuluki bynner celf that once spoke to a traveling southron in a tavern. She pried into his life and tried to figure out what he was doing in Tuluk, finally grebbing from the mis-information he was providing that he was bounty hunting someone that was reportedly hiding out in Moontown. So, her being the elf she was, convinced him that she can authenticate a 'license' for a small fee, (none of which she was 'keeping' for herself, since a license cost the small fee.)
Needless to say, that was a pretty hefty amount of spice to be had with that fee.
I've had aerial combat complete with barrel rolls and loopty loops.
I survived playing a non-app'd slave for nine IRL months and got the t-shirt to prove it. 8)
I had a character in the Guild who was told no less than 4 times by a high-up animated NPC that he was being stupid, and to stop killing everyone I worked with.
I have learned a huge amount of the combat code with only my second character. Most of it was from stalking the GDB off-peak, before an imm comes down and twits or censors the bit on mechanics. Two important little bits were ironically from guys who claimed what I was doing was twinkish, even though it was completely IC.. then I took a long, long look at why it would be twinkish.. and figured out the combat code from there.
Don't worry.. I'm a responsible enough player not to twink out my characters. Just going to use the knowledge so I don't have to waste so much time on sparring and focus on the fun part - RP training up other chars ;)
I had a rogue Rukkian that managed to persuade her pal, the friendly Whiran, to fly her to Allanak. Then, while floating high in the sky above the city, she and her partner in crime attempted to take a piss over the city.

I once kicked out an emote of waving at characters while falling passed them down a well during an intense scene.
I had an independent character standing by Eunoli when she passed out from waying. Other templars were in the room next door. I alerted said templars. They made quick assumptions that landed my character instantly in jail. He made it out unharmed. <3 Eunoli.
Used to knock raptors out and have them chase my character down when they woke up. Was a fun game of hide and seek in the desert. One time, knocked out a raptor and shortly after walked in on a group of four magickers having a conversation. The raptor showed up a few minutes later. The resulting chaos was hilarious.
Dropped spice on travelers below with my Santa Claus whiran.
That same whiran performed Star Wars Episode I pod racing on a kank in the salt flats.

Me too!
Yay!
My character currently has a bio entry: "Hammer Time?"..
(I don't play currently, so will not be posting again. I still send prospective players to the site regularly, however.)
Back in the bad old days (probably 94), I first headed over to Armageddon, because the players on the entirely PK oriented game that I ran said that Armageddon was a great game for PKing. These players included Kelvik, and people that would later become some of the notirious Black Moon referenced elsewhere in this thread. This is probably why I was.... really bad the first year or two (or three).
Unfortunately, most of this post is hall of shame, rather than bragging.
I ran an undead army through Allanak, slaughtering quite a bit of the town.
I never played a character that could actually fight. However, the sorcerer below "beat" some pretty solid fighters by making them agree to a match bare handed, with points for touches, as his stats prior to the race-based stat assignment were pretty decent.
Even after coming over specifically because the PKing was supposed to be good, I don't think I ever actually killed anyone, or even tried.
The rest all apply to a sorcerer that lasted about 3 real life years, not sure his played time.
Character began as "the grey cloaked elf". Yep, the bad old days. As the grey cloaked elf, he "met" the chap that ran the Clearwaters, and was tossed into the desert.
Not getting the message to stay out of Clearwaters, he later "met" Stormslayer there. Fortunately, Stormslayer was in a mood to train some apprentices, and demand they do things for him. I never heard from him again though.
Just like everyone else from that time, I had half a dozen bronze maces magically turn to bone.
Character acquired his second really really bad short description at this time, as I was starting to get the point of the game. Restringed to "the elven minstrel", or something similar. I mean, I never had any character as bad as the sailor on port leave, but 2 bad descriptions no the same character is probably pretty rare. After a not too incredibly long time, I requested his second description change, to something much more reasonable (with 2 more changes for age related reasons).
Had about +20 endurance worth of enchanted items at the end. 100 year old elf with more hit points than many half giants.
Carried half a dozen potions of various types the whole time.
Was resurrected twice. Once to going linkdead on the way from Allanak to Luir's, resulting in a slight long description change, and modification to style (phasing out of the bard career). The second due to Bran doing something in the 15 minutes while I was driving from work to home to continue in a somewhat major event.
Had "houses" in both cities, simultaneously.
Hung around with high ranking templar of both cities. As an elf sorcerer. Was on a trip to the tablelands with Kul, and sold some verses to a black robe in Allanak for the being-built temple.
Only had 30k or so 'sid, so vastly outclassed by those 6 figure guys.
Most of the true bragging I could do with this character would be after I started to suck at the game less, and might actually still be IC, 10 years later, so, I'll have to leave that stuff out.
When I came back for a few months a couple of years ago, I saw the thread Halaster had posted about why out-of-game chatting is bad. I think this character was involved... I think I was the guy that the dead guy was talking to on the isca bbs, while I was talking to his double at Flint's, asking him how he got reconstituted after being eaten by halflings. I feel quite guilty, and definitely ought to apologize. To everyone that was involved in that, and everyone that Halaster probably killed in anger afterwards, I'm deeply sorry. That's been tearing at me on and off the last couple of years since reading that thread. If you guys ever need me to do something to atone, feel free to let me know.

Seriously.
put down the WoW and come on back.
this one time.. i had a mudsexx menage a trois with Xygax and Halaster.
A list for my own benefit:
Had a mul working for Kohmar. Got word from his boss Ana that there was going to be a meeting in Allanak and they were taking the wagon down. I had never been to 'nak and was completely lost. This was OLD 'nak. Meeting starts to gather and Kurac (banned at the time) even shows up. Next thing you know a few templars show up and some Kuraci agent I would later (years later) learn was a bit of a badass was executed. So I looted his corpse. Pouched belt first. In front of everyone. Without an emote. Some templar pointed a weird cube at me and I was asleep. RL hours later I woke up and the streets were FILLED with corpses. I had slept through the Slave revolt. I find Ana and we hightail it to the wagon but not before a group of npc nakki slaves climb on board. So here is Kohmar streaking up the north road with a hull full of escaped nakki slaves. Go riots.
Another mul of mine found Ana linkdead in the Kohmar offices. I killed her, stole her keys and silver, climbed in the kohmar wagon to steal it and was teleported somewhere and killed. Ana was back by the time I had a new character in Tuluk
Had another character out on the north road fighting copper-skinned dwarves when a halfling came in and started pounding on me. I ran until I could run no more but the halfling found me. He waved when I hit 10 hps. My next character was a halfling because of that wave.
Had a blackwing murder a certain J'karr mul and steal his silver buckled backpack. Then decided to goto an auction in Luirs wearing the backpack for Khann and Co to see. That character was force-stored.
Another character, a blackmoon this time, was visited and purged by Ness because my anti-blackwing actions were deemed to be OOC-influenced. Anyone who has had a talk with ness in game knows they are one-sided. This wouldn't be spectacular if it hadn't made it into Sanvean's ISCA profile: "Oh no! An elf stole a kank!"
I was the first Captain of the Fale guard, a half-giant, after the house was opened for play. He knew nothing, had no skills and was generally piss-poor played, but I had fun for the few hours it lasted.
I've had an iron dagger. I've had a ring of invisibility. I've had a magick sword that corrupted my character so completely that he ended up stark mad in the mantis valley where he ................... Speaking of mantis valley, used to farm the mantis npcs for fun bracers.
I trained under Sunjar. I collected his sweat in jars (j/k). I was in the Rebellion. I ran the Guild. I helped form Tar'kroh. I had an Oash noble who decided it was a good idea to challenge Fatty Tor to a duel. I was so disappointed with how that ended, I never even mailed my clan imm to let him know I died. He was none to impressed :-( No nobles since.
I once had a Kuraci who got FILTHY rich selling spice to kuraci agents (twink much?). I then took my profits and gave them to a nakki templar to kill my pc superior. 100k and the templar just kept it and told Kurac what I was planning. My next visit to Red Storm was brief. The backstab missed (!?!?!) and I escaped back to Allanak, bleeding profusely. Rented a backroom only to have an npc templar walk in and eat me.
I once purchased a wagon as an independant character for cash. I got an email from Sanvean worried that all I did was twink for sid and that I had better change my ways. Character didn't live long enough to take delivery.
One time I saw a gypsy in Flint's. I told him to send -certain other name for tan maurk- my love. I thought that other name was just some gypsy girl I had met. Guess they were insulted because when I had my meeting with Khann (lots of my characters met Khann) instead of hiring me like he said he was going to, his kermit-skinned mul and two invisible gypo's murdered me after inviting me into a locked room. I had 10k sid in my boots at the time :-(
I lost another character, I dont remember who it was to Khann and his hatchet-men. It was in some random house in old-nak. All I remember is:
The immense, ebon-skinned man closes the curtain.
open curtain;flee
You open the curtain.
The immense, ebon-skinned man closes the curtain
PANIC! You can't escape!

I've always been curious who was spamming more, me or Lod.
When subguilds and sap were new I made a c-elf warrior/thug and I knocked everything out. I knocked runners out in the mess hall who looked at me wrong. It was brutal. Was forced to move to the rinth for some reason and proceeded to knock out to militia soldiers who came in looking for me. I stripped them of everything they had and dragged and tossed them out of the rinth with only a birthday suit each. Got a mail telling me not to spam sap after that. Next day a dwarf assassin is backstabbing the crap out of me, east side to west side and back. I spam sap in response and dwarf gets knocked out cold. No more than 5 seconds later I'm frozen, Someone sends: You'll get an email shortly, and then the mantis head.
You can thank me for getting sap nerfed (whether I deserve credit or not).
Went spelunking with a couple mates once. Found this neat old place where many a person has died pre-mature deaths. Found an old door studded with iron and proceeded to chop it up. We survived and got that iron out. Then my character died from a cilops bite and being too full to eat a pill. Later found one of those mates dead in the desert with another character and looted the iron.
Once faught, and beat, Bigby's crushing hand.
My only magicker to live more than 24 hours was flambasted by Halaster because I cast a certain summoning spell over half of the scrub lands. Was never given a count, but I guess more than a few unfortunate souls ventured into those rooms. I was also informed that that character had branched more spells at five days played than most 20 day chars ever saw. This was accompanied by a stop being an f-ing power gamer comment.
Lol, Marc. That was awesome and amusing to read :D You're one of those senior players that make me think that I have a chance of getting karma after all. How many times did your karma get docked? :P
I had a character lose 50+ employees over the course of his life. The majority at some point stating specifically "Nah, I'm different. Things don't feck with me, i can go out the gates alone, I'm a badass" blah blah blah. Tsk tsk tsk
Makes me think...the life of a long lived character is increasingly depressing. Last more then 5 game years and you will watch dozens and dozens of friends die.

..the probability of even having both a male and female PC dwarf in the game at the same time is close to 0.
I had a 5-RL month long male dwarf meet a female dwarf once for 15 RL minutes. Never saw her again afterwards, though.
totally making a female dwarf for my next PC.
I've seen three female dwarves in the last few weeks in one city.
I've seen a few female dwarves when I'm not playing as a dwarf. In the same city too.
I was once knocked out by an NPC halfling, had it attack me while I was sleeping, regained enough stun to regain consciousness, woke up, and killed it.

I think enough time has past. It's probably been close to two years.
I once convinced some scuzzy, high powered magickers that my character had died and been replaced with an ancient demonic entity that was dedicated to revenging itself on the warrior tribe Fale. The persons in question used a method of finding my character, and to their surprise ended up in a sparsely populated tavern instead of my secret demon lair.
The logs died with my old hard drive. :(

Robbed a PC blue robe templar, pickpocketed another templar, and stole from a very powerful 'gicker while he was buying things. With a 2 to 5-day pickpocket.

Had a character who masturbated in the Byn latrines while reading the Zalanthan porno booklet.

I can't brag about most of the things I've done. I guess the triple-murder over an enchanted sword (which I ended up with) counts, that was about six years ago. I promptly lost the sword to a gang of elven raiders. Fun stuff.

how come everyone knows my collection of mudsex logs? i lost most of them sadly
yeah i used to watch other people mudsexxxing all the time. Especially after rpts you sluts go on a rampage
i remember one time it was a gith rpt or something, i swear in one of those apartment complex there were 4 couples going hardcore
what is funnier is i was using a supernatural skill to watch them and i ran into someone else doing the same! what a pervert! we were signaling each other "the other room is about to finish! come take a look"
one time, i am pretty sure this is more of a shame than a brag but using a supernatural skill again, i argued with another (using the same skill) about whether or not a lesbian couple should have their thing -that way- or not
later on we two pleasured the lesbian couple without getting anything back
yes we were that selfless

For starters:
I once played a Tuluki noble who... ended up killing all the PC guards in her House for various reasons. When no one was left, I ended up storing. But it was for personal reasons. :P
Yeah... Those were some good times... thrashing about and ruining the place, screaming furiously for an hour, mantis face. Typical trend I find myself in.
Had a long-living tuluki lower-leadership character who was kinda clumsy at shady intrigues and almost totally socially inept. He figured remaining silent and scowling at everyone would cover his ineptitudes - and it mostly worked.
Wayed a demon on accident and told it that it wasn't real.
It wayed back, disagreeing.
My guy, in terror, expelled it.
The demon, in anger, manifested and dissed.
My guy was dissed.
The demon was...satisfied.

I had a character who was haunted by QUOTES KEEP DETAILS, FOLKS. IF YOU COMPLAIN, EDIT! -Shaleeeditor
Read thread title.
Hardly a spoiler. You only think it is because you know what he's talking about. I, on the other hand, hardly think it's a brag at all, because I've no idea what he's talking about.
Being haunted was one of the most amazing experiences in my Arm carreer. I'm not bragging about doing anything awesome because the character really did nothing substantial. What was awesome is the fact that I was lucky enough to have something like that happen to one of my characters and have it go one for quite some time.
Another thing to understand was that this character was in Tuluk....and he was haunted by... well him. Even in the most ambiguous of conclusions one could draw from the information about this character's "haunting" it should be pretty easy to concieve how fucked up that must have made his life.

stole a mask from said character's hands as a stablehand
and was very adept at playing said character, other characters, and everyone into believing that he cared for anything other than his own hide. ;)
Wow, I've had so many really cool experiences but most I have to take to my grave. That, or kill you after I tell you.
One that does stick out though was getting to Sgt in the Byn with a Mul. The RP was awesome and everyone I played with were really cool. Even to this day I miss that PC.
I once killed a certain mul in a certain alley in standard melee (no backstab/sap/posion).... With a breed ranger.
I wished up to be eaten alive by rats in the sewers.
And was.
I got eaten alive by a Silt Horror after I walked into the Silt Sea in a storm. Complete with 'nom nom nom' emotes. It was the BEST RP EVA.
It says on my account notes she "died from blood loss, come have a look."

Before Storm Gate [NS]
The southern gate of Red Storm Village stands here, a heavy construction
of hard, pale grey styrax wood. The gate is set back slightly in the grey
stone walls, providing a little shelter from the fierce winds even when it
is closed. A beige canvas tarpaulin soars overhead, suspended some twenty
cords above the ground by styrax beams, to provide additional cover. The
sunlight filters through the reddish-brown dust with difficulty.
It is dusk on Huegel, the 107th day of the Descending Sun,
In the Year of Suk-Krath's Anger, year 43 of the 21st Age.
The petite, baobab-braided woman turns with a quiet sob, balled fists hammering weakly on the gates.
The night has begun.
The red moon, Jihae, lifts over the horizon and into the sky.
The white moon, Lirathu, moves with slow grace from the sky, as it sets.
To the north, a gate of hard styrax wood is set in the stone walls.
The gate is closed.
To the south, windy plains extend out to the ominous Sea of Eternal Dust.
[Near]
Nothing.
You stop resting, and stand up.
You get your unlit simple, leather-wrapped bone torch from your dusty double-layered sandcloth pack.
It is very light.
You light an unlit simple, leather-wrapped bone torch.
You think:
"Maybe the other gate is open..."
Before Storm Gate [NS]
The southern gate of Red Storm Village stands here, a heavy construction

stone walls, providing a little shelter from the fierce winds even when it
is closed. A beige canvas tarpaulin soars overhead, suspended some twenty
cords above the ground by styrax beams, to provide additional cover. The
sky above is dark, and clouded with swirling reddish-brown dust.
You think:
"Ah shit...this ain't my fuckin' day."
[A bit of running around]
You are too exhausted.
You sit down and rest your tired bones.
You think:
"I suppose I can wait till morning."
The silt heaves slightly to the south, and something brushes up against your leg.
You can't see a thing; sand swirls about you!
The petite, baobab-braided woman leans over a little, rubbing at her leg with a hand.
The petite, baobab-braided woman lifts her shirt, trying to bury her face beneath the cloth, protecting herself from the torrential sand.
You feel the silt wash into your mouth and nose as you lift your shirt out of it, as breathing becomes exceptionally difficult.
You feel something rapidly tighten around your left leg, something long and sinuous, and then you feel the barbs dig in.
The petite, baobab-braided woman coughs a little, lifting her head to spit a mouthful of silt from her lips, choking, her hands digging into the ground as she tries to scrabble backwards.
You think:
"What the fuck is that..."
To the south, a shell breaks the surface as the tentacle begins to reel you in.
The petite, baobab-braided woman kicks at her leg with the other leg, her boots scraping over the mysterious tentacle frantically.
A faint shape whips you very hard on your leg.
You attempt to flee.
You can't see a thing; sand swirls about you!
You flee head over heels.
A faint shape's tentacle keeps a tight grip on your leg.
The petite, baobab-braided woman falls face first into the silty sand with a thud her body sprawled out across the ground.
A faint shape reels you slowly back with the tentacle, chitinous beak opening and closing.
The petite, baobab-braided woman grabs forwards with her hands, fingers scrabbling against the ground to try and pull herself forwards, away from the creature.
The silt washes completely over you as you fall.
The petite, baobab-braided woman opens her mouth to try and curse, but finds her mouth filled with silt.
You feel it's getting very hard to breath.
You are too exhausted.
You think:
"Fuck, what is that thing?"
The petite, baobab-braided woman wriggles desperately, trying to push her head above the level of the silt to take a gasping breath.
You feel the respite of merely sand-filled air rather than silt.
A faint shape's large, chitinous beak digs into your right thigh, shredding muscle and flesh.
You can't see a thing; sand swirls about you!
A faint shape's other tentacles lash out, wrapping around you and fighting to keep the entirety of the human below the silt level.
The petite, baobab-braided woman manages a piercing scream, her body convulsing with the pain before she seems to fall into a shocked stupor, staring into the nothingness surrounding her.
You feel your body turn rigid with the pain, unable to move from the shock.
A faint shape twists you and pulls, the tentacles brutal in the manipulation as they draw the chest cavity closer to the scissoring beak.
The petite, baobab-braided woman lulls her head back, letting the silt wash over her rigid form, her eyes simply staring upwards, mouth contorted into a frozen, silent scream.
A faint shape seems to let out a sound strangely akin to, "NOM NOM NOM" as it pierces the chest cavity, and begins to dine on the vittles held within.
A faint shape whips you very hard on your body.
You feel the excruciating pain forcing you to make peace with your fate.
A faint shape solidly whips your body.
You think:
"Am I dead?"
You think:
"What....what was that?"
Someone turns and swims further into the sea, dragging the bloody mess of you along, dining all the while on internal vittles and things far less than savory to normal company.
You feel your mind spinning, your nerves seemingly cut off from the rest of your body as you feel no pain, yet no registration of your limbs either.
Someone eventually, even, gets to the brains.

This, not so much.
I've spent the last several months trying to convince my RL newb friends that no, staff don't lay plans to kill PCs because of some random negative interaction they made have had with the character or player in the past.
Well, they don't plan, it's usually just spontaneous if you make a wrong move. And usually, they don't kill you, they just leave you at a disadvantage for a while (like robbing, etc). It's all great, I love it. This is just my experience with them.
I was quite happy with the death. I think me and the staffer were both very much aware that the character was a goner regardless.

My guess is that Maso had the chance to flee screaming after she felt the tentacle.

I'm pretty sure they've mentioned that they give plenty of warning. Lots and lots of it. If you ignore the warning and don't flee, or play along with it, like Maso did, you're rewarded with a beautiful death. I've seen plenty of hints of the form, especially when I'm doing something I'm not supposed to and I always get the feck out of the place.

I did it with a merchant. And lived. The merchant died of loneliness.

No, I just did it with my psionicist/sorcerer/water breather. It was 1337.
I played a HG that went into a certain cave complex and after general creepiness was suddenly surprised by a flaming wall of death preventing my escape... so of course, my HG fled FURTHER INTO the cave of death. Unfortunately for my HG, the cave of death reaches a point where HGs are too big to continue, so my HG gets stuck in the narrow confines. Undead beasty follows after and corners my poor, lovable HG just as my character is getting unstuck. Undead demands things and my HG cowers. Undead attacks and two-punches my HG into unconsciousness. While unconscious, the undead drags my HG to somewhere and magicks up a sacrificial alter, melts stone to create shackles from them to secure my HG with and then proceeds to sacrifice me. I wake up half-way through said process. The gem was when the undead reaches into my character's chest to pull out the still-beating heart. My HG responds with a feeble pawing at said still-beating heart and the hand that holds it while saying, "But... I need that," to which the undead responded with, "Not anymore." Shortly after that, my HG was undead as well... and I think it goes without saying, no longer my character to play.
I wish I'd kept a log of that.

My guess is that Maso had the chance to flee screaming after she felt the tentacle.
That's what I would have done.
Her character was exhausted, though.
Same thing here, Spawnloser. Same place, too. Only I got turned to stone. :D
Spawnloser, I think I remember hearing rumors about that alter. Kept my then character far away from that spot.
Quote from: Maso on May 06, 2009, 01:02:55 PM
I still have the log. ;D
EDITTED TO ADD LOG. Might as well share. ><

Before Storm Gate [NS]
The southern gate of Red Storm Village stands here, a heavy construction
of hard, pale grey styrax wood. The gate is set back slightly in the grey
stone walls, providing a little shelter from the fierce winds even when it
is closed. A beige canvas tarpaulin soars overhead, suspended some twenty
cords above the ground by styrax beams, to provide additional cover. The
sunlight filters through the reddish-brown dust with difficulty.
It is dusk on Huegel, the 107th day of the Descending Sun,
In the Year of Suk-Krath's Anger, year 43 of the 21st Age.
The petite, baobab-braided woman turns with a quiet sob, balled fists hammering weakly on the gates.
The night has begun.
The red moon, Jihae, lifts over the horizon and into the sky.
The white moon, Lirathu, moves with slow grace from the sky, as it sets.
To the north, a gate of hard styrax wood is set in the stone walls.
The gate is closed.
To the south, windy plains extend out to the ominous Sea of Eternal Dust.
[Near]
Nothing.
You stop resting, and stand up.
You get your unlit simple, leather-wrapped bone torch from your dusty double-layered sandcloth pack.
It is very light.
You light an unlit simple, leather-wrapped bone torch.
You think:
"Maybe the other gate is open..."
Before Storm Gate [NS]
The southern gate of Red Storm Village stands here, a heavy construction
of hard, pale grey styrax wood. The gate is set back slightly in the grey
stone walls, providing a little shelter from the fierce winds even when it
is closed. A beige canvas tarpaulin soars overhead, suspended some twenty
cords above the ground by styrax beams, to provide additional cover. The
sky above is dark, and clouded with swirling reddish-brown dust.
You think:
"Ah shit...this ain't my fuckin' day."
[A bit of running around]
You are too exhausted.
You sit down and rest your tired bones.
You think:
"I suppose I can wait till morning."
The silt heaves slightly to the south, and something brushes up against your leg.
You can't see a thing; sand swirls about you!
The petite, baobab-braided woman leans over a little, rubbing at her leg with a hand.
The petite, baobab-braided woman lifts her shirt, trying to bury her face beneath the cloth, protecting herself from the torrential sand.
You feel the silt wash into your mouth and nose as you lift your shirt out of it, as breathing becomes exceptionally difficult.
You feel something rapidly tighten around your left leg, something long and sinuous, and then you feel the barbs dig in.
The petite, baobab-braided woman coughs a little, lifting her head to spit a mouthful of silt from her lips, choking, her hands digging into the ground as she tries to scrabble backwards.
You think:
"What the fuck is that..."
To the south, a shell breaks the surface as the tentacle begins to reel you in.
The petite, baobab-braided woman kicks at her leg with the other leg, her boots scraping over the mysterious tentacle frantically.
A faint shape whips you very hard on your leg.
You attempt to flee.
You can't see a thing; sand swirls about you!
You flee head over heels.
A faint shape's tentacle keeps a tight grip on your leg.
The petite, baobab-braided woman falls face first into the silty sand with a thud her body sprawled out across the ground.
A faint shape reels you slowly back with the tentacle, chitinous beak opening and closing.
The petite, baobab-braided woman grabs forwards with her hands, fingers scrabbling against the ground to try and pull herself forwards, away from the creature.
The silt washes completely over you as you fall.
The petite, baobab-braided woman opens her mouth to try and curse, but finds her mouth filled with silt.
You feel it's getting very hard to breath.
You are too exhausted.
You think:
"Fuck, what is that thing?"
The petite, baobab-braided woman wriggles desperately, trying to push her head above the level of the silt to take a gasping breath.
You feel the respite of merely sand-filled air rather than silt.
A faint shape's large, chitinous beak digs into your right thigh, shredding muscle and flesh.
You can't see a thing; sand swirls about you!
A faint shape's other tentacles lash out, wrapping around you and fighting to keep the entirety of the human below the silt level.
The petite, baobab-braided woman manages a piercing scream, her body convulsing with the pain before she seems to fall into a shocked stupor, staring into the nothingness surrounding her.
You feel your body turn rigid with the pain, unable to move from the shock.
A faint shape twists you and pulls, the tentacles brutal in the manipulation as they draw the chest cavity closer to the scissoring beak.
The petite, baobab-braided woman lulls her head back, letting the silt wash over her rigid form, her eyes simply staring upwards, mouth contorted into a frozen, silent scream.
A faint shape seems to let out a sound strangely akin to, "NOM NOM NOM" as it pierces the chest cavity, and begins to dine on the vittles held within.
A faint shape whips you very hard on your body.
You feel the excruciating pain forcing you to make peace with your fate.
A faint shape solidly whips your body.
You think:
"Am I dead?"
You think:
"What....what was that?"
Someone turns and swims further into the sea, dragging the bloody mess of you along, dining all the while on internal vittles and things far less than savory to normal company.
You feel your mind spinning, your nerves seemingly cut off from the rest of your body as you feel no pain, yet no registration of your limbs either.
Someone eventually, even, gets to the brains.
That's what you get when you stroll the beach of the sea of silt dressed as a japanese schoolgirl.
Yes, but did either of you pull the line, "Hey, I need that!" when your heart was being pulled out? ;)

Quote from: Archbaron on May 06, 2009, 04:56:18 PM
Well, they don't plan, it's usually just spontaneous if you make a wrong move. And usually, they don't kill you, they just leave you at a disadvantage for a while (like robbing, etc). It's all great, I love it. This is just my experience with them.
This is -very- true.
I don't know if enough time has passed to share the tale that a certain immortal did to my character, Forget when I had that character. Though it got so many laughs from so many clan mates, specially the one that saved me. :-\
Quote from: Ourla on May 06, 2009, 04:44:30 PM
I've spent the last several months trying to convince my RL newb friends that no, staff don't lay plans to kill PCs because of some random negative interaction they made have had with the character or player in the past.
I highly doubt they plan a PC's death out of pure spite, and shit in the past. So I am 99.9% sure that your above statement is true. Most robbing/beating/NPC noming is most likely random, because you were in a place you were not supposed to "aka a certain beast's lair", or you were most likely going get nommed by it anyway.

Shit like this makes me want to play this game 24/7.
Spawned by recent debates in the Ask the Players forum about damage gradiants, I felt like bragging about an old characetr. He took a one-shot hit of 121 or 123 damage and lived. I wasn't quite sure how to roleplay that injury though. It was ridiculous.

Where did the hit land?
Well, there were some magickal circumstances that advented permanant damage. I was more or less talking about the blow itself. The character was a half-elf....so 120-something points would be like having his chest explode or his intestines shoot out of his nose, but then he wasn't dead....so I really didn't know what to do besides run away and start squirting blood everywhere while frantically seeing to some Vivaudian magick.
Um...I think it was actually a bite to the head. So all I could imagine was his head being in the mekillot's mouth and blood spurting all over the place.
Bonus points for having your character's chest explode from having been bludgeoned in the leg.
A knife to the heart/brain should do 10000 damage. Doesn't require your body to explode to kill you.
Lol, I'd imagine it sort of having the lower part of your face eaten off, leaving barely enough of your head for your brain and throat.
The man with half a face would be an awesome concept.

The Half-Giant Allanaki Soldier says, in southern-accented sirihish,
"He killed a templar, get him!"
Now for my brag-
In under 2 days playtime I made around five large, a few knots of spice, and a crapton of other stuff from PCs without needing to use a single skill, join a clan, or sell anything. He lived to five days played, but what a ride that was.

Late to the party, I know, but wow. That was badass. When stuff like that happens to my characters, my (limited) capacity for emoting tends to be the first thing that dies, so it's all doubly impressive to me.
My character gave kalan fruits to the suicide bomber.
He was so pissed.
QuoteNo, this was some time in December or January, if it's what I'm thinking about.

Bingo, then we're thinking the same character/event.
I once dropped a small box in a save room. That little box doesn't show up when you enter the room, or when you look at the contents of that room. You have to know it is there, or get lucky, to find out it is there. In that little box, I left my character's life savings of 3000 coins. I was amazed the little box could hold so much, but I digress. I got chased out of the room and murdered by the soldiers. I took a two month break. Then I forgot where I dropped it.
Built an empire and had one of closest things Zalanthas has to a tank created.

This is over a year ago...My PC Menach was with a few other Badasses, Kon included,
and we were going to destroy an allanaki Village...Well at the time the current magicker
opened a portal to the given village, only to be met by the RED ROBED Samos and his
legion of goons! We ran as fast as we could, Kon, Menach, and two magickers into the
sands. At that time my PC had a custom tent, with a jade cross in its Sdesc. Well, we
got away for about 30 rl minutes and thought we were home free. Well, Little did we know
the moment we got up to move an invisible army surrounded us. The odds were 4 on 12-15.
The last battle between those PCs 12-15 pcs/npcs and Us Four Horsemen was by far
the most epic battle ever. I remember seeing Samos down to Near death, multiple times. We
held them off for as long as we could, so our other friends could get away....It was Awesome.
If ANYONE has that log, PLEASE post it. I know the battle lasted longer than 5 rl mins
for sure.

Okay, it's been more than a year so I can finally post about this.
A long time ago, something caused a ranger of mine to fall and land into this room.
You feel a sharp pain in your back and blood wells up in your throat!
There is a noise behind you--a stoic halfling sentinel tried to stab you with a smallspear!
Your spine tingles and you turn around just as a stoic halfling sentinel tries to stab you!
You deftly parry a stoic halfling sentinel's attack.
A stoic halfling sentinel doubles you over with a powerful side kick - OOF!
You deftly parry a stoic halfling sentinel's attack.
A lean halfling hunter viciously leaps toward you, but a tattered pair of black-stained leather leggings gets in the way.
A lean halfling hunter's attack on you is absorbed by a black-stained, hard-edged bracer.
Managed to survive, flee from somewhere in the area of 12 to 15 NPC halflings that were tracking and backstabbing all over the place. I picked a random direction to run, which happened to be the only direction out of the halfling-ridden area, and picked a random room to rest in... that happened to be 1 room from an insta-death trap. Managed to get rescued and survive for another 50+ days of playtime.

I had a Faithful Lord (jihaen Templar) named Rykon. Well we heard a group of
templars from the south were looking for a special super seekret hidden place near
tuluk. SO my Templar, grabbed a couple of PCs and NPC half giants to go to inspect
this place. Well, there was an unmovable stone slab that was blocking the entrance
to this place, so Rykon purchased the largest barrel he could find and told his
guild contact to fill it with flash powder. So We go out again, try pulling the slab
to no avail. We hit it, nothing...Kick it nothing, Finally Rykon is about to go use the
flash powder when he heard, IN the Name of the Highlord being shout to the west.
Immediately, I looked that direction and about shit my pants IRL. TURNS OUT
the exact day we decided to check out this place, the allanaki Militia and gemmers
decided to have an RPT to this spot. To my west was Two Templars, Kishime, and
another. With them was god, I dont know maybe 10-20 pcs. And with out group was
me, three pcs mundanes, and some HG soldiers. I start waying everyone I fucking know,
with the message Get the fuck out here, emergency, allanaki army!
So, I look over the Pcs that were with me and said fuck it, we have to stop them from
getting to this point so lets do it. Before I could hit enter to say that, I hear, CHARGE being
shouted from the west. I instant begin doing my super seekret Jihaen moves on these
enemies that were trying to get to this super seekret spot. Shit is going crazy, soo much spam
I can see my HPs dropping very quickly...Then...It is when it happened..I had my templar
remove his bladed staff and hold a torch.
Loudly as he looks to the sky before placing the flaming torch into the barrel full of flash Powder , you shout, in sirihish:
"THROUGH HIS LIGHT WE WILL CONQUER!"
BEEP! Welcome to Armageddon.
Edited to add: To this day I dont know If I died to a PC or the explosion or what.
you died to pcs
henna and i survived that and only one or two pcs on the other side
i think powders lit up not because of a torch but because of the flaming armor of kishime
it was epic
I was there, watching with a tribal human. Nardi, was his name. An Arabet.
I walked in there and totally looted silver rings from dead templar bodies.
People found out that my Tribal Human looted silver, and eventually hunted me down to find the silver. LITTLE DID THEY KNOW I ALREADY STASHED IT, MOFO. WHY DID YOU KILL ME *cry*

Gotcha! Hell yes, Closure.
The crazy, retarded ooc things people will do to get metalz.
Yeah, I was watching the whole thing too, Mansa... you looted templar bodies in front of soldiers that were still alive. Good job.
*chuckle*
I think my Allanaki militia sergeant started to ride out on that RPT, but I had to get the staff to log me out because my unit got word that we were packing up to leave Iraq RIGHT NOW.
Instead, I died when some nooblar decided to bum-rush a gith sorceror with only me as backup. ::)

Also, the Soldiers were one room over.
That barrel of powder was originally created to be fake... something was lost in the translation ;-)
Wouldn't that be "something was gained"?
I had to check an old bio to remember this, but I brought the copper mines tumbling down and lost a leg in the exchange. Then played in Tuluk in that incredible summer of 2006.

That summer...went on a trip and the damned war ended.
You Tuluki bastards try burning my wagon up again and I'll do something I'll regret later ;)
Quote from: Northlander on June 16, 2009, 06:22:34 PM
I had to check an old bio to remember this, but I brought the copper mines tumbling down and lost a leg in the exchange. Then played in Tuluk in that incredible summer of 2006.
:'(
That was still during the time when I was on hiatus from Arm. While I don't regret doing what I did during that summer, at all, I
do kinda wish I'd at least had a character rolled up, if only to have checked in on the news, IG, now and then. I completely missed the Copper War.
Me too. I created a PC to join the Legions, but he was deemed "too insane." :(
I believe I based him loosely off of Stephan, the Irishman from Brave Heart. hehe.

Well, there was an unmovable stone slab that was blocking the entrance
to this place, so Rykon purchased the largest barrel he could find and told his
guild contact to fill it with flash powder.
It's possible one of my characters delivered that barrel to Tuluk. Always wondered what it was for.
(the character actually got -lost- in Tuluk, so badly that I quit playing for a half-year afterwards.)

My four-hour warrior waving a lit torch managed to sneak past half a dozen units of gith and all their irate brothers in a certain dark place before a certain major southern RPT. :-\

My guild_burglar soldier got knocked out by a unit of gith during that RPT, and lived to tell about it, only to die to a newbie dwarf days later.

My PC organized and hosted the biggest party I've ever seen in the game, gave away a metal weapon that she'd had custom-made for only 2000 sid, and was the first to drop to her knees when a very special guest made a very special surprise appearance.

Something brought up in the pregnancy guide discussion thread got me thinking.
I played a leader PC that practically OWNED a dozen children popped out by my subordinates. They were all being raised as much by the house as by the employee parents. It was awesome. Let the brainwashing begin young!

Well my PC DIED the RL day before he would have been there. :(
Don't worry. I got enough awesome prizes for the both of us!
It hasn't been a year yet, but I figure I'd just do a small I'm so dumb bragging.
I've never been around for an RPT.
I've had eight PCs- none of them lasting an IG year (hopefully my current one will)- all of them died stupid deaths with no RP on the killer's parts. Well, maybe on the gemmer's, and the Lord's... I've had three characters killed without a thought even after begging and saying they'd do anything... really people.

Doesn't have to be senseless murder, pointless death and betrayal for the sake of being evil.
You're right. I don't think that anything in game could be considered senseless... except when you are the victim. I've played a character that killed upwards of a dozen people just for water/food. I've played a character that raped PCs for power. I've even played a character that killed for no reason other than that he enjoyed it.
I don't think for a second that any of these PCs did not give a lot more to the game world than Joe Schmoe trying to sing cute songs to f-me's, collect loots, and skill up.

At the time they were a certain famous templar's personal unit of elite outriders (plus one low-strength herald). Ain't my fault they've turned back into a general-purpose infantry group.

The idea is to instill the fact that the PCs aren't special individual coddled snowflakes, but just grunts no different than the npc/vnpc grunts in the rest of the Legions.
I agree with the above. One of my favorite uses of vNPCs is to emphasize that there is a whole bigger part to your organization that PCs -- like I've heard some Legionnaires speak of having to talk to a Sergeant from the Third Infantry or something. Love that.
All the same guy.
Was in the unit of terrorists who went down to bomb the Tor academy.
Fought the Wyvern and Lord of Storms in melee combat.
Found the dead body of a half giant who had stolen a whole cabinet from the (Tor? or Bosrail). Had enough pcs to grab it all and haul it north for sale to Ten and Win.
Was kidnapped by the wyvern and it stole his clothes.
Lord of Storms stole his second in command then dropped a dead body that looked exactly like him and then released the second in command to make things interesting.
Got one shot by the lord of storms but got dragged to safety somehow.
Had so much mud sex in the Tuluki ruins that the imms loaded several zombies/banshee things on him!
etc.

you died to pcs
henna and i survived that and only one or two pcs on the other side
i think powders lit up not because of a torch but because of the flaming armor of kishime
it was epic
Due to code issues, Henna had already looted everything in there. Imms said no you couldn't have gotten it even after she sold it to tenneshi.
She went back as if she hadn't to the battle. Failed to die.
It's been over a year for a lot of stuff for me now, so I can do some bragging!
I was in Kadius when they went to save an old friend that was a catperson, and the entire group we took got hunted down by kryl. Once we got back to the estate, the cat was coughing up kryl larvae on the floor and everyone was freaking out.
I played the character who, alongside Zoan, really brought AoD to life a little over a year ago. He served as a soldier and an aide to a templar. He died because he fled the city after he was discovered smuggling things out of the barracks for 'sid. He was captured by his old unit and died of bloodloss back to Allanak.
I played a thief who lived for about 8 RL hours, and during this time he became a templar's aide, broke into an Oashi estate, and looted it. He got stuck in there, though, so he wished up to have the guard animated, which started a 10 minutes goosechase in the house before Lord Oash arrived and took me to the jail to be questioned. While in the jail cell with soldiers and Oashi Elite, the only torch light went out, sending the room into darkness. I could've gotten away, the door was open, if only I was quick enough to act. I was thrown in the arena, however, and executed.
I played a fortune teller who used a Kruth deck to tell people's fortunes. He only charged 10 sid a card, so people CONSTANTLY paid him to read their fortune. He'd bank 200-300 sid easy on any barsitting day, and was a blast. After a bunch of extremely correct fortune tellings, he was accused of being a psionicist (even though the character himself knew the fortunes were fake) and was almost executed.
That's all I can think of right now.

That's my babeh! :'(
The KKK took my babeh away.
I must hear the story behind this someday.
EDIT: Mainly because of the picture. It's brilliant. There's obviously an interesting story behind the scene, but so many questions are left unanswered. Is the second frame the past/present or the future? Is that her baby? What was someone with a baby (or at least a toy) doing out in the desert? Were they raided? By who? Did anyone survive?
Quote from: Tarx on April 15, 2008, 11:06:18 AM
Can't answer those questions. Alas, far too recent to delve further than generalities, but that is a sweet picture, and a good story, all told!
Now that it's been enough time, I think I remember some of the details of this. The PC in the picture was Reiko(?). She worked for Thrend as a partisan. Somewhere along the way, she decided that she wanted to leave and work for someone else. That was fine. I forget who stole from whom, but eventually, Reiko pissed off the wrong people that had access to licensed assassins, and the rest is history.
Now that it's been a year (or more), stuff from the same PC:
--Would routinely way Southern templars and nobles just to piss them off.
--Would try to brag about intelligence sources by revealing information that happened in the South--then ask for details afterwards. (Subtly, of course)
--Sent someone into Allanak to infiltrate a certain organization. Then this bigass gith war happened. I'm pretty sure they died to gith rather than by execution. So sad.
--Over the course of a year or so, stole several things (via spies/informants) that belonged to southern-affiliated people.
--Dressed up as a Fale noble for the Masquerade Ball: Phelashio Fale.
--Added "Phelashio" as a keyword. Don't know if anyone used that from then on.
--Kept ordering a certain food delicacy even though it was from the other side of the Known World and expensive as hell and really couldn't afford it, because it was good.
--Tried to beat GAGE GRITSHAW (you know who this is) in a drinking contest. Got really close but did not win. Was disappointed.
--Attempted to capture a mantis. Brought up the rear from the Templars that were going out to help. We got the knocked out mantis inside the city gates. One mantis goes for the gates--flees past the gates and into the city--and disappears down the North Road towards the Sanctuary. My PC heads off in hot pursuit after renting his inix (or kank--we might've still had kanks still alive then). Out of the Sanctuary pops a Winrothol noble clad in silks. Mantis appears from around the corner, launches at the noble. My PC defends him, begins to wail on the mantis, gets disarmed, both nobles get knocked out. Moral of the story: let the Winrothol take the fall next time. Gave me a good story to tell later though.
--During a particularly savage battle with halflings, defended a downed legionnaire out of MV on foot for quite some time until relieved by soldiers from Ayun Iskandir. Got a log of this, will need to trim it down--was pretty cool-looking.
--Per the log, my character's objective at the time of that halfling battle was to "understand women." (Glad I didn't play a dwarf.)
--Had a weapon with silver (real silver) etching. Of course, it was only ornamental. Silver came from something that is also silver...use your imagination.
--Possessed a boulder of salt, previously shot-putted by the only thing that could do such a thing. Didn't do anything with it except point at it and say "that's my boulder. Let me tell you how I got it."
--As mentioned in a posted log, bent over backwards to make an Oashi noble look bad at Luirsfest.
Forgot more fun stuff with this character than I ever did with other characters. Good times.
Gage Gritshaw! My PC got wasted one time, called him a bitchy little coward, and got in a vicious fist-fight-nearly-turned-poisoned-knife-fight with him–deliberately, because Gage was awesome and I wanted him to throw chairs at me. We didn't become Best Enemies, though, because he disappeared the next day, apparently dead to monsters or whatever. THANKS A LOT GAGE.
"Ready to spar, Gage?"
"I'm Gage Gritshaw."
"You okay there, Gage? You got bit pretty hard."
"I'm Gage Gritshaw."
Gage Gritshaw is Gage Gritshaw.
Gage was the shit!
Quote02/12/07 - Hired Gage Gritshaw (the hulking, rip-scarred man). Paid 150, owes me 1 year of being a Trooper unless he pays the full amount back. Kinda stingy, but meh. Seems cool.

- Enslaved a woman banished by Lieutenant Paryl and Sergeant Laila after the Gith War for the reason of pissing Addlestone off--that woman had happened to get a merchant of Addlestone's killed. For one reason or another he didn't particularly seem to care, though.
That was a pretty awesome character of mine, but only because of the impact that these characters had--to include Ehrick and others. I was still learning a lot at that point, only being 4-5 months into Arm.

I was somewhere around Luirs, on the edge of the desert, when the spice began to take hold...Spiced up and hunting raptors in the Red, my Seik stumbled into what would become an "old friend" to him and later House Kadius. It was one of my first truly awesome and touching experiences on Armageddon. My PC died too soon, like most hunter types do, and I still miss him sometimes. Fun times in Kadius and among the tribals, back then.
Oh, and since it's the bragging thread: I won the Luirsfest Archery contest and the hunting contest with that character. Didn't stand a chance in the fighting contest against those crazy Bynners...

I spent the entirety of that RPT on three activites:
40%: >backstab kryl
55%: >get body
5%: >emote waves his hands frantically at ~special.friend.of.kadius, acting like a total idiot.
Also: when we were fighting our way into that kryl hive, we started taking periodic acid damage because so many of the bodies were piling up. So I started grabbing the bodies and chucking them outside. Genius? The immortal who gave my PC severe acid burns didn't think so!
Also also: pissing off the Kadian mul ALL TRIP LONG

Heh, I remember all the Kadian silt-horror hunts for the special dish someone mentioned earlier around the Gage era.
I also remember seeing a silt horror getting "ineptly hacked to pieces" on on of the afore mentioned hunts.
I was playing the something, albino dwarf under Sharlo... probably the best times I'd ever had in Armageddon before my current PC.
I have a character who's managed to out live most of these names that keep popping up....
...it's thrilling and kind of depressing at the same time. Great people to know, but they all wind up dead, dead, dead, and the long line of names and events kinda blurs together after a bit.
Yeah, the longer a character lives, the more depressing it gets when your dwindling list of friends becomes almost non existent and all of a sudden you find yourself hanging out with a totally different group of people.
It's like life... everyone passes through your life, changing it for better or for worse, except hopefully your RL friends aren't dieing of at the same relative rate as your PC's friends.
No wonder Zalanthans are so damn jaded.
I know how you feel, Pale Horse. The line just keeps going and going ... I don't even bother to learn names nowadays until I've seen people more than ten times. They nearly invariably died, retire, disappear, etc, etc, etc...

You're still on the same one. Sheesh.
I went through a list of names I jotted down that my PC would remember (they're important, or met with them a few times, or whatever). I put *DEAD* next to people my PC doesn't see for a while, or if my PC sees them die or hears that they died.
100 instances of *DEAD*, lol
Going for 200.
Outlived 25+ templars serving the AoD with one character, including 3 reds and 1 black.
The number of mundane pc's that I saw and then died was in the hundreds, I imagine.
No wonder long-lived PCs all have that sense of..Ennui? Weariness, jaded, whatever you want to call it. They've "seen it all" and it's becoming just a bit on the boring side. Drov is a familiar face, often over for dinner or a lively conversation in a bar.

And even aside from that, there's the coded side of the character, too. What do you do when you've maxed all your skills, amassed all the things you need to keep your character / your clan truckin' for a long time to come, allied yourself up with everybody you care to, killed most of your enemies, banged the girl of your dreams, and attained the highest rank a PC can in your clan?
It's often difficult OOCly to keep coming up with challenges your character would realistically try to face, considering that I'd think many Zalanthans would choose to step down from dangerous public life after they've attained all they need to live out the rest of their days in relative comfort.

When all this happens..it's time to either store, or keep the character around in hopes that things liven back up (hanging around to instruct newbie characters, provide the benefit of your maxxed out self to your clan/fellows, stir up trouble, develop some vices, etc).
Then again, if you're in a sensitive enough position, and been nice enough to the Staff, supplying them with their regular doses of brainz and kudos and regular character updates, they might let you store your character to play a brief role someplace else that has nothing to do with your previous one, then unstore once said character bites the dust.

No wonder long-lived PCs all have that sense of..Ennui? Weariness, jaded, whatever you want to call it. They've "seen it all" and it's becoming just a bit on the boring side. Drov is a familiar face, often over for dinner or a lively conversation in a bar.
And even aside from that, there's the coded side of the character, too. What do you do when you've maxed all your skills, amassed all the things you need to keep your character / your clan truckin' for a long time to come, allied yourself up with everybody you care to, killed most of your enemies, banged the girl of your dreams, and attained the highest rank a PC can in your clan?
It's often difficult OOCly to keep coming up with challenges your character would realistically try to face, considering that I'd think many Zalanthans would choose to step down from dangerous public life after they've attained all they need to live out the rest of their days in relative comfort.
When all this happens..it's time to either store, or keep the character around in hopes that things liven back up (hanging around to instruct newbie characters, provide the benefit of your maxxed out self to your clan/fellows, stir up trouble, develop some vices, etc).
Or orchestrate an elaborate meltdown and see how many people you can drag down in flames with you. :-X

Quote from: Pale Horse on July 14, 2009, 01:37:49 AMThen again, if you're in a sensitive enough position, and been nice enough to the Staff, supplying them with their regular doses of brainz and kudos and regular character updates, they might let you store your character to play a brief role someplace else that has nothing to do with your previous one, then unstore once said character bites the dust.
What!
Oh wait..

This one time I was recruited to play an assassin for a plot. This was a very temporary thing, buffed skills and all. I was told who my target was IC and the whole nine yards, but I was forbidden to throw my poisoned to Krath and back knife at my target... I had to throw it at the guard of that person that was retiring the character. ICly it would be explained as him stepping in the way, get the uber-poisoned knife, little bit of time to say farewell as he dies, right? Wrong. Everyone there had plenty of cures. My assassin died night instantly, though. From what I hear, the staff had to override things and kill him the old fashioned way, by setting his hp to -dead. :P
I was in Fathi's dream. ;D

I really wish I still had the log for this, but I remember getting in trouble for something in Allanak... don't recall what.
I get put on the "stretcher" and tortured with about 10-15 PCs watching... oh yeah, I was high on spice and I think I had quite a bit on me.
After about half a RL hour, I told the Templar torturing me that he should stick a jagged scrab shell up tek's ass while tek was gave him a blowjob.
<mantishead>
Anyone have that log?
It's called "The Cuddler", thank you very much.

I would kill to know exactly what my PC said, if you ever feel like digging.
Okay, it's been more than a year and I've always wanted to post this. Since like... as soon as it happened.
A PC of mine spent a goodly amount of time in the jail in Luir's Outpost because it was the only private place she could have a meeting with a certain Kuraci.
Adhira happened to be watching us both and added a flea script to both of our characters.
I can't remember how I found out it was Adhira--I think I sent a staff kudos or something--at any rate, I emailed her and politely asked if I could start a flea outbreak by sending her logs of people making physical contact with my PC.
I infected at least three other people with the flea script and one extremely high ranking NPC.
So that's where that script came from...
You deserve kudos for that.
Quote from: Pale Horse on August 11, 2009, 07:13:23 AM

Hah, thanks. Yeah, it was pretty awesome. I was actually kind of sad when all the little buggers died of natural causes.
I recall there was a certain Lyksaen who was determined to get rid of his fleas by bathing in kumiss.
It was painfully easy to spot who my PC was hanging out with. :-X
Some cotton from a chair touched the nape of my neck once. I'm not sure if thats a script or if a staffer was extremely bored.
My desert elf once experienced a rock on a cave floor poking her on the butt, and later the same day a gimpka rat slapped her on the head. Fun times.
Long ago I played a character that lived into old age.
One day, while minding his own business, relaxing in the estate he starts feeling pain in his chest. He thought, this is it! I am going to die, here in this bed!
Of course as the player I was thought, whelp it was a great run, I guess my guy is just to old to live and the staff feels it is time to move on.
So he calls all his loved ones to his side, some heartfelt moments and good byes were said. That role playing went on for probably nearly a RL hour, all the while pains in his chest were sporadically felt, getting progressively worse!
Then, suddenly.... the gas was released in some burps and flatulence and my guy felt fine (as far as an old man can).
I know I got a great laugh over that whole scene. I think the other players who were present did as well! So seriously belated Kudos to the staff that entertained us with gas pains that day back in 2000ish!
A little while back, I won Armageddon. I was a nay-sayer myself, claiming it was impossible, but I was wrong. A combination of events happened IG and I was like, "did I...? Did I just win Arm?", and I realized I did, or came as close as I ever would, anyway. :P But alas, the story must wait a year.

My big bad dwarf warrior, ex-byn sarge, winner of luirs pit fights and deathly afraid of tiny spiders was in a place when a giant magickal creature came out of the ground. Now though my PC would happily fight a bahamet alone, he did know when to run...and run he did. Makes it to the east gates of Tuluk telling the soldiers there that he was being chased by something. That something comes in and subdues my dwarf. (bragging parts coming up) The soldiers of course attack giant magickal thing. Giant magickal thing proceeds to use my dwarf as a maul. (Yes, I believe I was the first dwarven maul).
Later, while sitting in the teahouse reporting to a lirathan templar. The dust on my dwarfs clothes formed into a tiny magickal thing which then got up, jumped down and ran away.
I so wish the staffer would have made it yell the gingerbread man quote.

It's probably been long enough.
Subject to an off-peak bug which teleported me to an imm room, my (very powerful warrior) character wandered about, plaintively wishing up for a teleport out. I came across a Drovian shadow sword and wielded it (I had been up there for hours). After it got so late I couldn't stay awake any longer, I just closed the client and slept.
I woke up and my character was inside the cooking room of the Gaj, and there was blood on the drovian sword. What did I do!?
At one point I had a character that was a coded member of five completely unrelated clans. Simultaneously!

Couple years ago I pillaged/ransacked the tomb of a tribal chief that Muk Utep overtook during his rise to power. This is as close as I could come to figuring out who it was anyway.
He had phat lootz.
I planted dung on someone and then called them out in the tavern for smelling horrible.

Most IC embarassing moment:
Climbed aboard a wagon in the desert with my mul raider PC:
A Kadian woman and a fat Templar within the wagon.
Kermit the mul (my PC...Kermit was a keyword the imms added because of my mul's skin color *grin*):
(after subduing the fat Templar) "Awwright! Nobody move, or I send the demons another play thing!"
Thought I'd come out of lurking for this one. The fondest memories I have of Arm are with my earliest characters, one of which was a raider. I remember Naatok's character at the time stormed a wagon and came out with the severed head of lord Templar Boopsie the Red. I still never heard how that went down. Tell us that one :)

I had a single character who was in the following:
The Byn (clanned twice)
House Oash
The Guild (clanned twice)
The Arm of the Dragon (clanned twice)
the Rebellion
He was a ranked officer in every clan except the Guild.
I used the rebel command at least once on every... single.. one of them
my favorite moment was this:
>rebel rebellion
The PC died as a captain in the arm of the dragon, but only the first rank in the guild :sadface:.
I remember being caught by a sorceror once and he was trying frighten me by saying he knew everything about me, and I was like "psshhh he doesn't even know my real name!"

OH, thanks for reminding me.
I made an assassain con-artist character named Teth(if i recall correctly) who convinced another, younger PC he was his father. Over the course of a rl month and many interactions I'd developed a strong bond, and convinced my characters "son" to move south to luirs with him taking all the money and possessions they had. Once there they rented an apartment, and our final interaction with eachother came down to this:
Fakeson, dropping the last few coins into a large bag: "Alright pa, we got a total of 'bout three large. Heh, I've never seen so much 'sid in one spot."
Teth: "I'm not your pa, kid. And you wont see this much black in one spot again."
Fakeson emotes looking extremely confused.
>Change accent southern
Teth, rising with a long obsidian dagger, his accent gaining a harsh drawl: "My name's Teth, I ain' yer father."
>Backstab fakeson
Whoever played that character got kudos from me twice, it was fuckin' awesome.
RGS, that is fucking brutal. *bows in a "I'm not worthy!" fashion*
You rented an apartment in Luir's? This was possible, once upon a time in the distant past? Now, the nice plot twist you described aside, that alone is something to brag about, heh.

You managed to rent an apartment in Luirs? That is even more impressive.
Here's an antibrag: for all my time playing an elf, I have never ever managed to pull a con or scam of any kind.
Managed to pull of a scam with every single of my long lived Delves, within the first 10 hours of playing.
I pulled a scam on a D-Elf once. Then I was knocked unconscious, had my teeth sharpened and my ears trimmed.
I once had two mul special apps approved at the same time.
Apart from my first character, (an aide that died to a halfling after 6 months) and one character that... tripped over that well during the only time I was possessed by the urge to explore nak, I have always, ALWAYS died to a PC. Stored characters don't count.
Public executions, assassinations, sheer stupidity on my part to sheath weapons silently (I was about to backstab someone with my max assassin, then the victim's talk put me to sleep due to boredom.... and I forgot why I had knife out), more assassinations, clumsy assassinations, twinked assassinations.
So yes, all PC.
I once had really shitty wireless connection that would cut out at random. One time was when my Bynner and his sergeant were out hunting,
I lost my connection for maybe twenty minutes or so, and logged back in to this:

Salt Flats [NESW]
A vast region of flat land stretches in all directions for as far as the
eye can see, the almost unnaturally even surface appearing to consist of a
whitish-grey crystalline salt. There is no vegetation here, nor any obvious
sign of animal life. The blazing crimson orb of Suk-Krath hangs far above,
sending its relentless heat upon the ground and causing the endless horizon
to shimmer and blur as it meets the sky.
The body of the sturdy, darkly-tanned man lies crumpled on the salty soil.
A ruddy-brown mekillot is here, fighting you.
A large war beetle crawls about, struggling against its chitin harness.

Your blow bounces off a ruddy-brown mekillot's tough skin.

Managed to get the PC out of it, to live for another RL year or so. Still, it's left me with a nervous twitch every time my link drops.
That would scare the shit out of me dude.
This was a loooong time ago but I had a d-elf climb the shield wall to punch the plainsman in the face. He lived to talk about it.
I remember when I was relatively new imm for the Byn, sending them on some crazy expeditions. One of them was an escort quest of a truly annoying northern woman that involved falling off the shield wall (of course), sandstorms, and being attacked by a mekillot, only to have a silt giant run in, punch the mekillot in the face, subdue it, and run off into the salt flats. The northern woman made everything awful because she kept getting in harm's way. I think Spoon's character was in that one.
I remember being on the edge of my seat, wondering if everyone was going to die. The funny thing is, I don't think any of it (beside the silt giant) was really my fault...mostly. They got into all that trouble all by themselves.
QuoteOne of them was an escort quest of a truly annoying northern woman that involved falling off the shield wall
Did that also involve her sitting down in the road, refusing to move, and screaming and yelling the entire escort, attracting raptors?
Heard about the first instance (that one Wolfsong), on the second contract as all the Bynners were calling her 'raptor bait'.
Yep, that was my PC that jumped off the shield wall after the northern woman. It was the first time I noticed there was a command put in to stop people doing
that by accident. But hey, my PC rolled poor wisdom, AND he was in the Byn.

One time my warrior (Bob) went with his buddy (Tom) to a place that was frequented by mantis that we killed. We had noticed, after going there a few times, that more and more mantis were appearing. One day, we walked into the area and a few mantis appear. Combat ensues. As the carnage of spam begins, more mantis appear. Finally, I look in the room and see us taking on eight mantis.

My brag, I watched that scene go down.. sneaky-sneaky and unnoticed. 8)
I think I spent a good majority of my playtime spying on those pc's. entertaining. Always entertaining... with a hint of disturbing.
I never thought I'd feel sympathy for a gith.
I can think of two moments in my Zalanthan history that really, really, really stick out for me and if I can find the logs (good luck with that one) I will do my best but:
As an Agent in House Kadius:
[Olgaris] A lot of crazy stuff happened involving PC names and specific instances. [/Olgaris]

Kadius during that time and the four or so months that followed is still my favorite Arm experience ever.

Hey I remember that, I think it was that woman. The day I met the 'rinther Sarge...the day my kank died.. I had to quit at the wall though :(. The last time I've used ranger quit in a clan. It felt too not cool when I logged back in.

This is the best post I have ever read.
I once had a Bynner who went on a desert trek with her unit and they got lost. When the water supplies ran out, thanks to a shifty elf, they cut open a half-breed who valiantly committed suicide by Byn squad and drank his blood.
Best and worst wilderness foray ever.

Incidently, my brag is that my very first character was active and alive for like 8 RL months. *knew to watch his stamina points... didn't yet realize the deadly cocktail that is southern sandstorms and beetles of doom*

Tell me about it. If you do any sort of intense activity IRL you don't do it until you collapse from exhaustion. You do it until you're comfortably uncomfortable, tired but still well enough to rest and get at it again. Think about that when you get out there IG.
Who else was thinking about (mud)sex?
I have a character who knocked out a half-giant in barehanded sparring.
He's human.
But they forced him to pull the giant off the mat afterwards.
I had a human PC knock someone out with an axe before. That happen very often?
As a complete newb (I'd love it if the player remembered this scene and could enlighten me about some parts I was hazy on in a PM) assasin I was leading some pro-super-sekrit-assassin guild in Tuluk and we needed a super-sekrit compound for planning super sekrit stuff in sekrit and I wayed up a nenyuk agent for a chat about apartments and a bottle of wine. After we finished the bottle of wine and he was good and drunk I broke it over his hand, smashed the bottle to make a knife and muscled him into hooking the noble sponsored group up with a few rooms free of charge.
It was probably a lot less awesome then I remember, but I was a blissfully ignorant newb in those days and everything, even the small stuff was gloriously awesome. I'm sitting at work and that old memory popped into my brain, it had to have been at least 6 or more years ago. I can't remember which agent it was, I just remember that afterwards he was always cracking his knuckles and I know raven was a word in his sdesc..
Sounds like a real cool guy. Most would have spam fled.

Quote from: Eukelade on September 19, 2009, 04:28:51 PM
I remember when I was relatively new imm for the Byn, sending them on some crazy expeditions. One of them was an escort quest of a truly annoying northern woman that involved falling off the shield wall (of course), sandstorms, and being attacked by a mekillot, only to have a silt giant run in, punch the mekillot in the face, subdue it, and run off into the salt flats. The northern woman made everything awful because she kept getting in harm's way. I think Spoon's character was in that one.
I remember being on the edge of my seat, wondering if everyone was going to die. The funny thing is, I don't think any of it (beside the silt giant) was really my fault...mostly. They got into all that trouble all by themselves.
I remember that. I was still such a newb and was the -other- escort who was retarded and didn't want to walk to her camp because I didn't actually know where it was. That northern chick was so damn irritating. I think at some point I said we should just leave her on the wall.
That was wild though. Didn't someone go partially crazy during all that? I just remember being a very confused and overwhelmed Seik.
I went with a bunch of my Kuraci pals, and some Kadians I think? *correct me if I'm wrong* To go face down a bahamet. That was fun. Especially when it decided to pick on my poor character and try to eat me alive. I think it was the first time my PC got some real sympathy for wounds from my companions. ;D I still have that log lying around somewhere.
Quote from: dustbunny on October 04, 2009, 02:36:10 AMThat northern chick was so damn irritating. I think at some point I said we should just leave her on the wall.
Yes, she was very annoying. She was an npc, animated by me, and I played her to be as annoying as possible. In fact, she was so annoying that I grew to hate her, and she was eaten by a monster on a later rpt.
Oh yeah,
I once had a noble (maybe templar?) feel so sorry for my PC he actually bought my PC a whore (literally, she was a PC and he called her over)
Was the 1st action Jaytarn had ever seen -- rough growing up as the only slave of a templar.
Once had a Fang raider, who didnt kill a single PC. But managed to ... buy the only weapon off a Salarri Corporal and then brain him with it (Who'd sell off their only weapon in the wilds? Even if close to the city). Enslave a Dune Stalker. Knock out countless of people and end up paying "them" money, because they'd be spying on merchant traffic for him. Always attacked people who for some reason hunted stilt lizards with skinning knives. Most of his raiding involved emotes. Where he would sneak in on a grebber and start emoting sounds, clicks and clacks, and gradual approach. Most of his victims then would either spam flee or emote it out. It was awesome.
Managed to somehow gain a reputation of some uber powerful magicker (was a ranger), get all of Salarr, a lot of militia and templars, and a shitton of gemmers chasing his ass. All that before he hit 5 days played. It was beautiful ... died to a twink.
I used to do my best to interrupt conversations/meetings/discussions of clan members at the worst possible moments (e.g., just got done dissing the boss, or just did something really naughty, etc.).
I remember one particularly dicey and very, very weird situation about a year and a half ago in which a certain other staffer animated a certain GMH family member to give a lewd Way recounting of a hilarious back-story involving another GMH family member being mistaken for a whore in the dark.
Oh, good times.

Ah, yes. I remember that one. I can't remember if my character was a Trooper, or made Trooper after that little fiasco. Eventually became Sargent Drien. My character never, ever, ever mentioned what happened out there.

Was that the bahamet D-D-D-D-D-DOUBLE KILL for Rokov's Grey Hunt entry? Man, that was a blast. There were at least Kuraci and Salarri there, not sure about Kadians. I'm missing that log for some reason.
Protip to anyone who wants to hunt bahamets: don't take a long time to emote skinning the corpse when you're still that close to the spawn point. :-X

I was the half-elf in question. If I recall correctly, my severely dehydrated breed (very close to death anyway) attacked his Sarge out of desperation/rage. It was heavily implied on the gdb in the aftermath that his body was cannibalized. Fun day, and I hope that elf ended dead too.

When in Tuluk I still call it Teks tower, but whoever makes it collapse first is the winner, not the loser.
:o Wooooooooww, It took a long time to read through thirty nine pages of bragging and so on, really cool thread though. :-\
I have done alot of things that I could go on about, but erm...One thing I think some people might like is:
I was playing a half-elf rinthi I believe, don't member much else, anyways, I killed off a few PC's and ended up getting caught by a Templar at some point....Got taken to jail, he found some gems on me from the dead PC's, asked how many I'd killed, then he pulled out his uber sword...I said something about the people I killed and called him Lord Fecker before he raised his sword up and slashed my head clean off..I thought it was awsome. :D

I'd still call it Tek's tower, and whoever make it collapse first the looser, because they weren't subtle enough to disassemble it brick-by-brick, and failed in their plan.
Muk would praise anyone who could, in fell swoop, take down Teks tower. No matter how unsubtle it was.
Then he would likely kill them, for being strong enough to threaten the Mighty Muk.
Moral of the story: Don't play Teks Tower in Tuluk.

I once started a food fight with a Byn NPC in the Gaj because they were teasing me. The fruit landed on the floor infront of them. It later hit their back, but it was SO funny.
Once my clan imm decided to visit me as a golden kank icly, and my char would talk to this golden kank. Everyone thought she was crazy. I LOVED it. I wish I could do it again. That was my favorite char, and my most favorite imm EVER!!!
One of my chars was given a sandwhich, and since I rped she had never seen one, she called it meatbread. It was a total HG moment. :-D

I had a female character get impregnated with a noble bastard by blackmailing the noble father... and my character was disgusting. Really disgusting.
Before the Atrium started, with my very first non-pickpocket I got to be the highest social ranking possible for a common-born nobody just by playing off peak, hanging around in clans that were mostly empty, and not dying. He had ridiculous stats and was so buffed up from sparring for over a RL year that he insta-killed pretty much everything he encountered. Realizing his political/leadership potential now that I'm comfortable with the game kinda makes me sad. :-[
With the same character I totally fucked up somebody else's carefully laid out plotline because I made OOC assumptions and was getting bored. I'm sorry! I still feel really bad about it, but I was a kid back then.
For the 10 or so years that I've played this game I have only ever joined one noble house so that I could preserve an us vs them attitude in intra and inter-city politics. I have serious OOC loyalty.
that was more like an anti-brag.
Bragging? I played a bunch of phenomenally non-uber, non-politically important characters who I can reasonably hope contributed a lot to the atmosphere of the game. Playing off and on since the 90s, albeit rather off lately, that's what I remember fondly.
Tackled the difficult problem of how to contribute to game atmosphere while being a xenophobic Blackwing by trying to be seen skulking about in the tablelands and environs by every PC who entered it for about multiple RL years, and to act as cantankerously as possible when engaged. Tackled the difficult problem of how to maximally contribute to game atmosphere when this kind of behaviour leads to violence by scalping and de-handing defeated opponents rather than killing them.
I tried to replicate the effect with different attempts at nomad characters, that had the RP advantage of not needing to be quite so distant with people, but the distinct code *dis*advantage of being alone and not having desert elf mobility, which tended to lead to death when I tried to play them entirely in the desert. Still, I had some wonderful moments of sitting out with strangers on my rug, sharing drinks with them, and receiving tales and trinkets in exchange for guidance and protection in between cities.
A ridiculously long time ago I played certainly one of the first mul slaves, or at least a mul who pretended to be a slave in public with the human who freed him, and who used this pretense to pretend to be a noble. We successfully taxed many people, and imperiously give people orders which they usually followed. He would beat me sometimes as part of the show, and I would muse about killing him on the spot.
These sorts of little, wonderful atmospheric moments are I think what really makes Armageddon spectacular. I hope the people I bumped into in these ways enjoyed them as much as I did.
I remember when Luirs and Tuluk were both occupied by Allanak.
I remember the tidal wave that destroyed red storm.
I remember when mantis used to roam southwest of Allanak in the dusty plains.
I remember when dual wield was the only style anybody ever used, and all a shield ever did was make an 'extra' hit location.
I remember when Blackwing were the only tribe in the tablelands.
I remember when Kadius was the superpower of the north.
I remember two black and white muls in red storm.
I remember when finding defiler ash was as common as mount poop nowadays.
I remember when ALL armor had "new" appended to the beginning, it's how you could tell armor from clothing.
Lots of other stuff too.
I destroyed an entire clan compound in Red Storm. Shit was so cash.
A super suite GDB lady drew a picture of an ex-character of mine (it's submitted and on the website) because I bought her a drink at an APM...

I was excited because while I've come up with theoretical examples of how to use + and =, I've never actually fluidly constructed an emote mid-play using one of them until recently.
Though to my shame, I had to >help emotes to make sure I was using the right symbol. :(

The tall muscular man circles you warily, bringing up his massive obsidian blade and smashing it against yours.
..never mind.
The short, black-helmeted man circles you warily, bringing up his Shwartz but careful not to tangle it with yours.
The green-eyed man snickers at the tressy-tressed woman when she arrives from the ledge above, and offers his hand.
Casting a wary glance at him, the tressy-tressed woman finally trusts her hand in the green-eyed man's, and allows him to pull her up from the floor of the cavern.
I see, now.
This is one of my account notes.

Most common mudsex emote there is.
That would explain why I don't use it very much.

Wow, guys, if you haven't, go back and read some of those old posts. There's some CRAZY shit.
I once master crafted an item from a skill that I only used maybe three-four times before that item became a reality. I was not a merchant, warrior, ranger, or assassin.
I once was stunned as Radoon was cut down in a hit or two on the north road by Isar with not so much as a word. As I stare at my mantis head, jaw slack, I got an email from Halaster tellling me something to the effect of "Whoops, sorry, you can log back in now."

Not that it matters now, 6 years later, but I somehow didn't want to know who played Isar... Oh well, there are way worse immersion-ruining things/moments, I guess.

Laura is a naughty lass, but makes up for it with sheer brilliance.
Laura's PC made my gruff badass of a PC wonder if his complete and utter hatred of all things Kadian was unfounded.
For about two weeks. Then she did that with the wagon.

Not sure if it would be bragging... more hanging my head in shame to be honest. Unless I get the okay, you probably won't hear more about it.
A couple of years ago I took part in a small event where we made it rain (albeit somewhat locally). Also, it included a Red Fang and a Soh dancing with eachother (not a metaphor for combat, no). Good good good tribal times.

I was there, as a human! Student to one of the desert elves. One of my most memorable characters, and certainly, among my most memorable scenes as a player.

And if people say that what he said was vague enough, I disagree. It is too easily possible, the way some people chat about this game, for someone to know which character he plays and would find this to be otherwise unknown information if not for chuci's post.

It was indeed. And that fellow who I fought with (with a broom nonetheless) was the guy I fought with in the alley over dung-sweepin' territory.
His greatest moment was sweeping the entire road from Gaj to Trader's for a Red Robe templar who happened to be passing by.

Heh, that's great.

I was once responsible for the discovery and capture of a character, and then assisted in that same character's escape from the person I sold them out to. I made 3,000 off the whole deal, and save for a few very select people, no one ever knew. That character later went on to lead a high-profile and successful politi-social career, which mine assisted with in many ways. One of my all-time favorite story arcs.
Became Speaker of the House of Allanaki Mages with my first mage, when I was a total noob and didn't know jack shit about spells and magickal components, etc. Tossed in head first basically. Learned a lot about the game through the experience.
I tried often to fool people in to thinking that npcs I played were pcs. I only had one great success, lasted 6 months before I did something stupid and people caught on. I love that when I play an NPC and people don't realize it's staff animated it's often treated very differently (I say often because some people treat them just the same, regardless, kudos you people).
I will endevour to ignore your NPC sitting at the bar in order to maintain consistency.

Sitting at a bar, offering to tell a story about something or other in exchange for a drink, and someone OOCed "Are you an NPC?", thinking perhaps that my guy had a floating green exclamation mark over his head.
I had another character that I (secretly) wanted people to think was staff animated, but I don't think it ever worked out that way.
I had a templar PC whose half-giant NPC guard got more kudos than I did.

I, uh...healed Laila?
Hey, that PC also healed Paryl after he'd been hucked halfway across the salt flats by a [terrifying monster]. I was sort of a healing vending machine.
That braxat was uncool. I think of the four, maybe five long-lived PCs in the AoD at that point, it had almost killed all of them. And everyone else, too.
I remember my PC thinking that if the Makarims ever got slaughtered horribly, it'd be to a baby braxat.
Those braxats were utter bitches. Screw them :(
Brag: Almost died to a braxat at the Arena, then almost died helping take down an escaped gaj, too. I have Arena-phobia now.
I was almost executed for playing a fortune teller because my predictions were too eerily true, by luck, and they thought I was a mindworm.
I remember the braxat. I was wondering how much damage it would have done if it had hit -with- the club. It killed that mul afterwards in about ten seconds...
My PC didn't like the Lieutenant much at the time. He won money on the braxat! ;D

Pft, that HG was AWESOME.
He wath in love with girl bardth.
I think my girl "bard" of the time got a flower from him, after a performance.
I think I remember this correctly, but the player would have to chime in to be sure I got it right:
A pretty badass northern PC once was heading towards the Plains gates. They wished up. What ensued was Monty Python-esque, shouting back and forth. The PC wanted to know why the gates were shut. The NPC soldiers were shouting about the dangerous stilt lizard outside. The PC was incredulous, but the gate people wouldn't open the gate until that stilt lizard was taken care of. I've never laughed so hard as I did when that badass PC had to flee from a stilt lizard that I did not animate (I may have forced a few emotes). If I recall correctly, the gate NPCs finally did let him in, but were sure to shout worriedly later on, "Watch out for those stilt lizards!" (The response was almost certainly a "Fuck you.")
I promise I didn't beef up that stilt lizard. It kicked your ass fair and square.
Heh, I love stilt lizards ... proving that just because something runs from you ... does not mean you want to catch it.
Stilt lizards: beloved by all Northern combat twinks. Despised by all Northern combatants, including twinks. Possibly my favourite nonhumanoid NPCs.

Find out OOCly.
Well, in some cases, Like Hot_Dancer, who plays mostly one race, or has for the last 6 years or more...when you have a PC for 3++ years, it does tend to get known because in that time often a large number of the player base might cycle through your clan.
Then some people have a distinctive play style so if you ever find out who played X PC from being in the same clan, often you can tell when they are playing Y and Z later.
I kind of just assume that any combat PC I can't kill is X-D.

Lies, lies, lies. ;) Except for the "Fuck You!" part, yelled at the top of his lungs.
That story just so happens to be one of the most hilarious things to have happened to my poor, humble warrior. Mind you, this wasn't a minor battle where the warrior just so happened to have lost. Oh no, this was like a squirrel squaring off against a lion. After that incident, he nearly developed a phobia of stilt lizards - at the very least a seething hatred.

Having played one of those loudmouthed Salarri PC's during the Golden Era...I think I got an account note akin to:

Yes we did...Indeed...And to think, I used to hate caps locks.

I've received more kudos posthumously for a certain character's slew of journals than the actual character itself.
I was one of the people who had the privilege of reading those journals, with one character. And, with a character prior to that, I experienced some of the things that were written in those journals, with BuNutzCola's character.
Assassinated someone once, then, having disposed of the body, proceeded to seek out and receive two more contracts on the already dead victim, tripling the profit.

I tend to join clans at their lamest, most quiet periods. So many cool PC's romp around the clan partying it up with each other, and the moment I create my eager new PC and join the clan, all those cool kids either store, die, or quit. This has happened more than three times in my 5-year career on Arm. Call me the clan killer. :-[
Seriously guys, WHY WON'T YOU PLAY WITH ME?!

I thought BuNutzCola that he should write journals!... kinda...
Also if that's the character I think it was... I think he sucked ass mainly because my character was cooler mainly because I had much more things attached to my body!
I made it rain... and watched women elves play in mud.
I'm lovin' living out in the wilderness. No walls to confine me!

He would protect the animals that lived around him. Funny... I just realised something hilarious about how he died.

Sounds fun... probably with a properly statted dwarf or a mul, though. Pretty hard to barehand/naked pretty much anything in Zalanthas.
Easy.
Any race ranger/weaponscrafter/merc/rebel/nomad/archer/hunter and I could be fully equipt and solvent in 6 hours played.
Any other sub if you want a slight bit of challenge.

The wastes aren't as isolated as you would think ;) The Known World is pretty small. You have to be -trying- and be a bit lucky to not accidently run into people outside the city.

I run into more people out in the wastes than I do in taverns.
Quote from: a strange shadow on January 04, 2010, 11:29:24 AM
I run into more people out in the wastes than I do in taverns.
I've never had one of my rangers not run into people, even in the deepest corners of the not-so-known world.
I'd be hard pressed to say I ever went more than 12 hours played without encountering at least one PC.
Many years, and many characters ago, when I was still quite a newbie, I found a fancy looking wagon outside the (old) western entrance to the 'Rinth. I popped myself inside and found it was the bank wagon and there was an unarmed NPC guard in there. Confident that my newly created warrior I had kicked ASS, I attacked the guard in the wagon and killed him, then tried to rob him but found no money whatsoever. Not wanting to be a 'newbie' missing a golden opportunity, I made the (clearly newbie) decision to steal all of the guards clothes and armor and to wear it while I strutted around town. Little did I know that most people around town were familiar with the attire of the Nenyuk guards...this prompted many odd looks as I paraded around town, decked out head to toe in gleaming white tembo-hide, carrying my trusty bone-studded pack. Needless to say, my poor character got hauled off to jail for that one...
There was also the time my character, probably my 2nd or 3rd one, discovered the message boards in the taverns. There I was in the busy Gaj, striking up a conversation with someone about something I'd learned from the board, feeling like a real RPer and everything. When they asked where I had heard this I exclaimed that I READ it on the board. I proceeded to stand and point at the board, telling this person over and over that I read it over there. It wasn't until every person in the room was staring at me that I stopped my insane ranting and started to wonder if they all knew something that I didn't....-knocks herself on the head- READ THE DOCUMENTATION!!

You wish.
back in 2005 quick was just an elf back then and was a trader in allanak
there was this tressy tressed woman in bard's barrel upstairs
quick came in and started bothering her with "you want to buy this? only 10 sid.. no? what about this? 25 sid" he was really selling cheap stuff (probably stolen)
the woman said "i want to buy a freshly cut elf finger"
quick looked at his hand for a second and then looked back at her "300 sid"
the woman got mad at him and stormed off
not my brag but i dont think there is a lot of folks who would remember how quick was back in those days

I've wanted to post in this thread for so long, but I wanted to wait extra time because some things probably continued on long after his storage.
I had one character who did a lot of stuff.
Successively defeated an experienced Jihaen Templar and very experienced Legion Sergeant in single combat without taking any damage.
Fought a slightly wounded Jihaen High Templar to a standstill (granted, he wasn't using a lirapet).
Punched a Lieutenant from the Arm of the Dragon in the face while in front of Samos the Red. (I will never forget a certain character jumping up on the table as soon as the ENTIRE ROOM DREW SWORDS and saying, "Now, now, boys. I'm sure this is just a misunderstanding.")
Stole 50,000 sid from Kurac. ('Stole' being used rather loosely.)
Fell in love with a Chosen, who reciprocated the feeling... the northern Templarate knew about it, and chose to do nothing, because the character was judged far too loyal to the Sun King to ever do anything about it. (Or so they told me.)
Helped plan the infiltration of several houses, both northern and southern, as well as assassination attempts against several nobles and a templar. All the targeted houses were successfully infiltrated, eventually.
Killed a mul in single combat.
Killed three would-be assassins at once for Kurac and the Templarate for attempting an assassination within the city of Tuluk without a license.
He got fleas. In-game, coded fleas. I had no idea that was even possible.
Rose from the lowest caste of society to one of the highest respected individuals in the city.
Was invited to partake in a Templar/Noble-only war council as a representative of his tribe.
Best of all - a lovely Muarki girl once told him her real name.
So much more. Sometimes I look back on that character and wonder how I'll ever match him.

My character of that time was so enjoying making money off of the "flea-cure" they were selling.
Alright, who or what was Quick? And this time no vague answers or MS paint drawings.
Quick was a character who gained notoriety, primarily in Allanak (though probably worldwide) for being freaky, spooky, dangerous, nasty, mysterious, disgusting, and ridiculously powerful in all kinds of things. He was -rumored- to have been a variety of things, but I'm guessing most people never really knew exactly what. Including myself. I only heard the rumors :)
Think of a giant cookie, that's been poisoned, and has a freakin knife, and wants to stab you a lot, and has strange thing growing out of it, and has been given to a kitten that has been fed crack every half hour for the last month, and is alive and freaking out in the corner of your living room.... Waving the cookie of doom.
That's kinda what quick was to the game.
Giant cookie! Bwhahahahahahahhaha...

PS: She's right, ya know...
The best thing about Quick is I have no idea who played'm.
The best thing about Quick was when he gave birth.
Quick didn't kill me -and- he gave me kudos.
lol at the cookie.
The best thing 'bou' Quic' was y'couldn' unnerstan' a singl' fuckin' thin' 'e 'said mos' th' tim'.
here's a real brag, I had a char that even quick had to ask what she was saying.
I'm fairly certain that I played the character that was the first PC Quick ever met. At the least, I played one of the first handful of PCs that Quick hung out with... back when he was about as scary as a tregil.

I have no idea how to prove that. :( should have gotten a log or something.
Her alphabet for when I was typing consisted of:
abdefhijlmnoprsu
And she had a lisp. It was an adventure. She got told to shut up a lot.
I said no vague answers, and I get a cookie! Lizzie's is the least vague but I got all of that already... Quick is far older than the one year IC limit, isn't he? Spit the secret out people.
I think by discussing Quick's nature in depth it could still give away some stuff that some people don't know?
I know I saw some crazy ass shit.
I can explain it if staff approves. I doubt they will. (No, I did not play Quick.)
Quick's nature is not open for discussion on the boards, I can say with near absolute certainty.
Alright. Anyway it's good to hear that a non staff controlled PC can rise to such heights of infamy, see tons of hidden shit and have a presumably great time.

Wouldn't be the first time.
I don't believe that was the case. The "super-elves" I can think of in the last several years all started out as regular Amos-elf PCs.
quick was a skiddish elf during 2004 and beginning of 2005 as i mentioned in the previous page
in fact i remember a giant rat (human size) in the rinth that lasted for about a few hours before some warrior axed it
the first time quick saw it he started running away so fast and shouting "THAT IS EVIL THAT IS EVIL" it was hilarious

No no no... this was way back after the fall of Tuluk, right when Friels rest and The Vineyard were first opened... twas an little flame red and white number... Got me all the chickas
Years ago on one of my first magickers I had no spells above the power of yuqa and had nearly every mundane I dealt with scared shitless with the boasts and stories I would make about what I did to this guy or that guy, when in reality I ran like a little scared girl from Scrabs.
I had a PC who spent more than an IG month studying ants, sort of. I was a little tired of that particular aspect of solo-rp afterwards. Found out what I was looking for though, more or less.

Don't ask me why but this made me think of movie "The Blood of Hero's" If you havent seen it its a great Arm movie about a desert world with next to no water. The movie basically follows this team of "Juggers" that play this brutal game with a dog skull they keep track of time in the game by tossing stones at a bit of tin tied to a piece of whatever is laying around. The nobles remind me of house Borsail for some reason.

..Please tell me that was five IG years...
Man..the things we do, and don't learn about..I'm amazed, every time I hear about what someone else
has learned about, and what they
haven't.
True that.
Every so often I have one of those "whoa really?" moments on the GDB, either because someone else did not know something I thought was common knowledge, or they just said something I was clueless about as if it were common knowledge.
I think a good test to decide how sensative something is to talk about though ... is to ask yourself: Could a newbie player easily find this in the game without having to risk life and limb?
I this case I think that would be a yes. If you play in the north and happen to walk past a templar npc and look at the weapon they're wielding ... bam. You have found a lirapet.
I wouldn't call that IC sensative.

Yes, it is IC sensitive. There are lots of things newbies can find out easily in game, that are IC sensitive.

Me neither. In fact I still don't. I have to go find an NPC templar in Tuluk and look at them I guess.

that's basically like saying you shouldn't mention bolines, carrikals, gythka staves, or chatkchas on the gdb because you didn't know what they were when you were a newbie
"A lirapet is the staff wielded by Jihaens" is something that should be put in the helpfiles.
"A lirapet is a MAGICKAL staff with SPECIAL PSIONIC ATTACK LAZERS that is wielded by Jihaens who HAVE PASSED THE TEST OF ULTIMATE MANLINESS" is something that would be IC info.
Since it's been over a year and a half:
My most epic death ever:
My 2 days played GMH hunter pc who went out grebbing for gems for the House. Lo and behold:
My dumb ass goes out. On foot. I get down to about 70 stam. A cilops saunters on into the room with me and starts attacking. I know I can't fight it, so I start to run. In coincidentally the exact direction of 2 bahamets. So eventually, I'm poisoned, exhausted, and trying to fight off 2 bahamets and a cilops. And I managed to go 3 rounds with them before my pc died.

Hmm..I suppose this is one of those blurry lines about what is and what is not, IC sensitive. Does being able to see the weapon by looking at any NPC northern templar, but not knowing it's name, cause said name to be IC sensitive? If such is the case, then I feel that there has been a move within the past year to eliminate a good deal of IC sensitive information, or at least update it to a state where it's now "general knowledge," despite what the a Player may or may not know.
..Eh, I guess as an example, I can remember finding out for the first time that Ankhegs actually existed IG. I remember thinking "Huh?" as a player, as I'd had no indication that said beast was actually something on Zalanthas, up until that point. It felt like I had now become part of the group that knew a wonderful IG secret!
Then..a blurb was posted up on the general documentation, about the animal. No more special, secret-y feeling.
IC sensitive information..it's one of those difficult areas to define, sometimes.

Maybe you should submit that to the staff and see whether they agree. If they don't, then it's IC sensitive and shouldn't be discussed on the GDB. Until they do, it still shouldn't be discussed on the GDB.
My PC was one of a few Kadius hunters who, with the help of some hired Byn, killed a silt horror. My HG PC took so damn long to try to skin the corpse that a long tentacle came up and dragged the body back into the sea. (I love/hate our staff so much!)
I'm sure the hunters, Byn, and Kadius family members were pissed at losing the whole point of the venture but they never got mad at my PC. She was just -that- adorable. ;)

Yes. Pissed is the right word..
I wasn't so pissed at your PC though as I was at the PC who thought it was a good idea to let your PC be the one to attempt the skin. ;D

SWEEEEEEEETTTTTTTT!!!!!! Sorry. had to say summat.
You know what I mean. Ohhhhh Yheaaaaaaa
Now that he is retired, after years and years of not playing, I can finally post here.
I played Zach the bard (the lissome, kohl-eyelined man) of house Fale. He never was very high profile (none of my PCs were, due to off-peak playtimes) but he was well-loved by many players, showered with player kudos, and named, I quote, "The best damn bard in the game". He achieved one thing that still puzzles me to this very day.
He had exactly as many love / sex interests, at the same time, as all of my previous female characters (9) had, added together, over their lifetimes. All of those female characters had been at least semi-longlived, with 5-18 days of accumulated playtime. One of those lovers was a noble. And, interestingly, the only two women in his life he ever truly loved he could not have. Late in his life he turned into a drunken emo because of this.
I just dug through some old logs out of nostalgy... I'm sure this is okay to post, it was years and years ago. Just a few snippets that sum him up fairly well:
Using a meek, nearly defeated tone which is just audible enough to understand the words, you sing, in sirihish:
"Do you smell the scent of death... as the red desert drinks the northern blood..."
Calling out dramatically, the lissome, kohl-eyelined man exclaims, in sirihish:
"To Fushian! To the rescue!"
The lissome, kohl-eyelined man glances the vibrant, jade-adorned brunette up and down as if accessing her stance, then adjusts his grip on your light wooden sparring sword.
Beckoning you forward, the vibrant, jade-adorned brunette says to you, in sirihish:
"Come on."
You ask the vibrant, jade-adorned brunette, in sirihish:
"Try and be gentle, mmmh?"
Amusedly, the vibrant, jade-adorned brunette says to you, in sirihish:
"Maybe."
At your seat, you say in sirihish:
"I might be a better man, or I might be a babbling idiot, who only comes to life in your presence. A more skilled artist, mayhaps..."
At your seat, you say in sirihish:
"but one with fewer friends?"
At your seat, you say in sirihish, with an undertone of bitterness:
"Envy runs like crotch-rot among the common populace."
At your seat, you say in sirihish:
"A bard with few friends does a poorer job, with less birds whispering into his ear. We work with stories, and the inspiration of others."
At your seat, the noble lady says in sirihish, a soft smile curling her lips as she looks to her hand in yours:
"You need not tell people. Nor do you need to fret over the future just now. All I want at this moment is to lay with you."
You ask the noble lady, in sirihish:
"Will I be able to walk, my lady?"
Arching a brow curiously as she turns to face you again, the noble lady asks you, in sirihish:
"What do you mean Zach?"
The lissome, kohl-eyelined man scratches his chin above the two hairy prongs of his goatee with a thumb, the flicker of a grin playing along his lips as he takes in every one of the noble lady's movements.
You say to the noble lady, in sirihish:
"Well, sometimes it works like an excellent drink... leaving me too light-headed and exhausted to climh down stairs, or ladders."
Oh, and one of my favourite logs of all times... that's pure concentrated Zach. He'd ALWAYS make fun of himself.
At your table, you say in sirihish:
"Would be bold ta claim it..."
The lissome, kohl-eyelined man winks to a grey-eyed bard from the shade of his hat.
At your table, the cherubic, silvery-eyed teen says in sirihish, dipping her chin:
"Awight"
The lissome, kohl-eyelined man tucks your spiral-glazed goblet drum beneath his left arm, his dark lashes sinking downwards slowly.
The lissome, kohl-eyelined man begins to play a crude rhythm, his dancing palm and fingers producing a pattern of a few simple beats.
The cherubic, silvery-eyed teen's head very subtly bobs with the beat, eyes shifting between you and your drum.
A rough, coarse and not very melodic tone to his voice, you sing, in sirihish:
"I'm a lousy bard..."
His gaze shifting towards a nearby table of gamblers, you sing, in sirihish:
"Can not even play a card..."
Amusement flashes across the cherubic, silvery-eyed teen's face.
You sing, in sirihish:
"I can't play any song..."
His voice accompanied by a dissonant rhythm from your spiral-glazed goblet drum, you sing, in sirihish:
"Been a beginner too long..."
You sing, in sirihish:
"I never heard of tha war..."
Flashing the cherubic, silvery-eyed teen a warm smile, you sing, in sirihish:
"But the lass at mah side is a star..."
The cherubic, silvery-eyed teen rolls her eyes with a smile.
The lissome, kohl-eyelined man winces and quickly withdraws his hand from your spiral-glazed goblet drum, causing the simple melody to die down.
At your table, you say in sirihish, pursing his lips poutfully:
"Think I broke mah finger."
At your table, the cherubic, silvery-eyed teen says in sirihish, smiling at you:
"Ah, get off it. Ya did not. That weren't bad at all."
I was once killed by a templar's slave. On accident.
I forgot to equip a shield against three mul gladiators.
I once had a Tuluki vivaduan.... who managed to both join House Kadius 'and' have a lover in the Legions.... naturally it didn't end well.
Once I spied on Gin and Quick and a bunch of other scaries in the labyrinth, with a pickpocket, by accident. They didn't know I was there, but my character was peeing her pants with fear. I still don't know how they didn't find me and kill me, but let those scared newbies who aren't sure of their stealth skills take heart. IT WORKS! You can do it too.
I attempted to assassinate a templar, was caught, jailed, and managed to talk my way out of it.

I was there, and knew you were there. :o
I may have written about this before, but I doubt it.
My character and several others got captured by a group of notoriously dangerous individuals. As it has been about 3 RL years since this happened, I could post a log, but there's so much IC/sekrit/etc stuff all in it that I can't see how it'd be any good with that stuff removed.
While interrogating my character, one of them kept cutting/dismembering/torturing another of our group in front of my character. My character seemed agitated or confused by proceedings because they kept calling the other person my character's "mate," and to him, that meant an intimate relationship. To buy himself time, he let them continue torturing her. After a long bout of this, he finally caves and says something like "to be honest, she's not my mate."
Response: "You are a waste of time." Then a bit later, my character was called "seriously the worst motherfucking companion in a group like this I have ever seen."
One of my most favoritest moments ever!
i still have the log of that
oh my what a great misunderstanding and the shitstorm that followed
I remember that scene...
The one getting tortured was my character at the time.
Belated kudos to all of you who were in it.
I think Ghost's PC later told one of my PCs about that scene, and even referred to Tarx's PC as being the "worst companion ever." LOL.
I wish I wasn't still a clueless noob when all that was going on around my PCs. :(

I've played a character that never once used two particular commands, two commands that I would wager every other player has used with every character they have ever played for longer than one day's playtime. I will not say which two commands, but I will say that they are both commands for interacting with the coded environment around the character, and not informational... possibly even vital for some characters to survive.
Played a codedly blind guy who couldn't 'look' or 'get?'

WHAT ARE THEY?!
My bet is "look" and "get."
Okay, fine, I'll say. It wasn't 'look' and 'get' and my character was sighted. It was 'eat' and 'drink', and the character lived for longer than a week played time.

That's what "taste" and "sip" are for. :D
Oh, I forgot about those. Didn't use those two as well, so four commands total that every other character used at least two of.

First, not even a poison cure?
Second, easy.
Not even a poison cure......of course the first 2 were the same guild, making it rather easy. And the third was mundane, bit tougher.
Just because a build makes it easy means that people do it. (shrug)
Hhhhmm, to be honest, case 1 and 3 were accidental, I did not even know it was possible nor did I set out to do so, but after like 5 days played I thought about it, went through my logs to make sure I in fact had not eaten or drank with that PC then figured out why, was like WOW...and stayed with it.
I thought it was nifty, but not brag worthy.
And can you tell me that half the brags on this thread are really actually brag-worthy by everyone's perception? I'd say less than 1/10th of what's been posted would I consider worth bragging about.
Eesh, Don't get butt hurt man, I just said -I- never thought it was...Not that it was not.
So...not to use off-color language here, but maybe everyone interested could compare each other's pee-pee size in a private venue, please, perhaps? The quality of brags appears to be declining, and that just ain't right.

The first pc I had that encountered Plainsman at an earlier time his life, I nearly killed him but the bastard escaped. A pissed off d-elf ranger with a bow can be a very powerful thing. We played cat and mouse off and on for quite a while, with him and his goons all trying to take me out and me trying to pick him off every chance I got. 8) A year or so later, with a different pc who also encountered Plainsman, I had very nearly escaped execution by him for some slight, when I fell to my death. Then a third pc, ended up facing off with him and it ended with neither one of us dying and him escaping again.

I had a PC that hung out with the Plainsman. We were bros.
I had two that hung out with him. Two of my earliest attempts at magickers... a krathi that made stupid mistakes and got caught way too quickly and slaughtered mercilessly. The second was a rukkian that made a less stupid mistake and died solo against an NPC that my character should have slaughtered. It was sad.
I played a fisherman. He wrestled his catch to shore. FUN!

Pffft..and here I thought you knew a lot about this game ;)
The Plainsman killed my character (she knew too much!) in a dark room with a silver dagger after giving her a stock villain speech, revealing his evil plan to take over the world.
Unlike the comic books, though, my poor Vivaduan wasn't saved in the nick of time while he was monologuing. She really died. It is still one of my coolest deaths, though it was pretty infuriating since someone was trying to get through to me at the time.
I had a PC that hung out a little with the Plainsman. He was still scared of him.
That PC inadvertently brought about something very bad. Always wondered if Plainsman would have killed my PC if the very bad thing didn't. Was cool though.
Who's the Plainsman?

A bit before that too but that was definitely the hayyyyyy day.
Here's my brag - I had a militia PC (lifesworn) who betrayed his city-state to join the other - Then betrayed -that- city-state to join the Plainsman, in one day.
sounds more like a shame

Since people are talking about him but it might be some IC sensitive stuff still: Big bad nasty sorcerer back in 2006-07-ish. Around the Copper War, if I'm not wrong.

I may have spent more time around the Plainsman than any other PC during those times. I could have killed the plainsman on numerous occasions. Something of mine once knocked the plainsman out. I rescued the plainsman when something else knocked him out. Was fun being the crazy little lackey stump.
I had the best score of all time.
I played a sorceress that got whacked by the Plainsman cause me and a Drovian buddy caused the north to raid our shared home :) I also saw the death of the "stump" a couple posts up.
The Plainsman kidnapped one of my PCs like a bazillion times.
I knew a guy who knew the Plainsman.

Hahah, you were one of my foes during that time with the d-elf. What a blast. In fact I believe it was your pc killing my tribesmate that initiated my blood oath against you two. Although, had we not killed your kank to eat...

I had a half-elven explorer PC that took a tube of spice from a skeleton he found and smoked it.
When plainsman finally died, I took his essence and imbued it into a single smoke of spice. I stashed it somewhere to be found, ever since then his soul traveled from person to person, starting with the one who smoked it.
Cutthroat gets a cookie.
Dar gets a backstab.
Oooh. Harsh.
I once had a character sneak up on a gortok and tickle its genitals.
I was feeling -really- OOC.
That same day me and some friends were talking about Captain Beefheart and how his music was like a tiger tickling your balls. The gortok attacked me soon after.
I had a human, mundane (ranger) character who was in awe of the White Rantarri. She ended up under his personal protection in the Tablelands; the elves there were under instruction not to harrass her when she came through - she was on his "A" list of visitors. Same character was also buddies with Venom the Freakazoid Elf. He used to give her oranges to eat..and she would tease him about how she only wanted him for his orange balls. He, in turn, would make fun of her being a human and never being able to revel in the awesomeness that is the desert elf. She was finally killed by being moved from point A to point B in a scary way, by a -different- elf that peed on her just before he finished her off. She was unconscious when that happened - I only saw the emote, and then BEEP.

The first pc I had that encountered Plainsman at an earlier time his life, I nearly killed him but the bastard escaped. A pissed off d-elf ranger with a bow can be a very powerful thing. We played cat and mouse off and on for quite a while, with him and his goons all trying to take me out and me trying to pick him off every chance I got. 8) A year or so later, with a different pc who also encountered Plainsman, I had very nearly escaped execution by him for some slight, when I fell to my death. Then a third pc, ended up facing off with him and it ended with neither one of us dying and him escaping again.
*shakes his fist*
I had a PC that hung out with the Plainsman. We were bros.
I had a PC that chatted with him periodically over almost three years. ;)

Aheh. No. The high from MJ that affects perception is pretty much Universal across all strains. Some will have more potency then others, make you more lethargic, make you happy, contemplative, anythig really. But I've found that the part of MJ that makes me enjoy everythign more, and have that feeling of "That makes SO much sense" is something that almost any strand can get you.
As to how it makes Arming better? Same way it makes a lot of thigns better. Things make more sense(even if they really don't) and you tend to see connection that you wouldn't have otherwise, I generally feel a deeper connection with the characters(I get this same affect when watching a good movie while high), I can literally see the actions of my character better, like a sort of imagination booster. I'm usually just way more immersed. I tend not to play the game for any reason but roleplay when I'm high, where usually I have a pretty achiever oriented mindset...
I'm starting to sound like a stoner now... great, thanks.
If my PC is jovial and nice, I am usually stoned.

Basically (as said above) it lets me immerse myself in the game better. I can solo RP for hours if I have enough weed and nothing else to do.

My best and favoritest character ever was an Undertuluki.
It was good being a grubbie while it lasted. :(
This has been at least a year, so I can post! My first magicker pc had [REDACTED - New player's won't know about this, whether it's been a year or not. -Shal] . Under varying circumstances. Once was due to some bug. I thought my pc was going to die until I realized where I was and wished up to be saved.
Never travel without a compass!
I cited a peer-reviewed article in a humanities journal in one of my biography entries.
While in a certain place in the 'rinth I believe...Or maybe the backroom of a tavern, I realised there was suddenly a new exit in the room leading to a huge, lava-filled cavern with chairs all around it and a big pool in the middle (I think, memories are very hazy), then a trapdoor leading to an immortal's room. It was a very wtf moment for my character, then an imm stepped in with a 'whoops, how'd you get in here'?
Still was awesome.
I have a good friend who had his Avatar on the GDB's picture stolen by the highlord Tektolnes himself.

I love seeing all the Northland folks in black-trimmed green gear, or flame red and white stuff, knowing that back in the mid 90's I had that stuff special ordered and now its a flavor of the month gear.
I have never played a Bynner.
I played a city elf that impressed desert elves with his running ability, even had a desert elf lover. Granted, being a magicker of a certain sort that made this possible, but my character never actively let on what he was, though I made it plain with emotes... never cast in front of her. :)
Quote from: Thunkkin on April 05, 2010, 08:45:57 AM
It's been over a year, so I can tell this story. Ashes gave my first character his noob hug and recruited me into Nak's militia. Ashes' emotes were so awesome and his character's aura was so impressive, I was convinced the he must be the leader of the militia and possibly one of the most deadly people in Nak (his character was, in fact, a fresh recruit that I was able to kick around the sparring ring on day 1 - his emotes still kicked my ass, though). My character was a ranger and Ashes assured me that there were plenty of crack shots in the militia. It sounded like the perfect place for a guy with a bow!
I gave Thunkkin his first newb hug.

I once had a byn Sergeant, whom had at the time the strong PC group in game
underneath him. We decided to enter the table lands and [some IC stuff happened]. Long Story
short the events that happen led to the demise of that entire group of PCs, Several
northern and southern Templars, and various other pcs.
I play my character casually.
Y'know, four hours every other day or so. And I'm happy with it.
Take that, Crackageddon!
I blew up half of Tuluk.
I was there when Sergeant Zoan died. We had to retreat under fire and never did recover the body.
At one point that particular character of mine was simultaneously enclanned in House Fale, the Arm of the Dragon, and the T'Zai Byn. Which isn't really all that special, but it's probably a little too early to really brag on him.
I was the "Carrot" to Zoan's "Captain Vimes." At his side from private to sarge, though I was on to another role before his end. Wish I'd been there to be slaughtered at his side.
Good times.
(Paraphrased off the top of my head, so not nearly as awesome as it was):
Holding up a rolled tube of spice, Zoan says in sirihish,
"See this? This ain't a tube of spice."
Saluting brightly, Thunkkin says in sirihish,
"Yessir, Private! It must be something else, sir, cleverly disguised as a tube of spice. You must use that for covert, under-cover operations and flushing out spice dealers."
After a long pause, Zoan say in sirihish, tucking away the tube,
"Right. Exactly what you said."
Haaarrr, you guys make me feel like I was a legend. :-*
Shield Wall of Allanak, sir.
But ultimately Zoan died alone. (But that's his story to tell.)
Most people didn't even believe I was dead, I discovered to my amusement on my next character. Apparently I was stored and he became a Templar after a Red-Robe sponsored him.
Others say he faked his death and to this day wages a one-man war against the gith of the canyon, Leman-Russ style. Who can say? I'm not sharing the truth.
*Disclaimer: may not be the truth.
I once played a Tor officer that went with groups of people into alleys for spice-whore blowjobs. He paid for these frequent trips with sid he would steal from people much like a bully would take milk money.
My Byn Sargeant saved Zoan's life, even though he hated his guts. Breeds. ::)
My thread is still going.
And apparently, I once, as an elf chased a human around the bard's barrel wielding a finger full of snot!

Purchased a tent.
Set it up in the Gan Zien marketplace in the 'rinth
Sat in it with a spice-run mat open from 10 p.m. EST to 12 a.m. EST
Proceeded to call it Loudmouth's Gambling Hall
Was a member of CLAN A and CLAN B at the same time, in the 'rinth!
Had many adventures.
Sat in the tent for about 3 real-life months, and let people gambling with me.
Tried to get it implemented as a perm tent and was told that there would be no new building in the game.

I liked that character greatly. Ended up robbing the entire world, just to collect special, rare, awesome gearz for for the Gambling event Loudmouth was trying to set up. Died too early to see it get done. Dont know if it panned out. I guess my brag would be ... resurrecting the Guild after Gin and keeping it going for atleast a pretty long while, even after my death. More or less mundane focused too.
Played a non-rinthi Nakki that eventually led a successful rinth gang and became a Guild leader. When I returned to the rinth with a different character a RL year later after his silly death, westsiders were still wearing the same gang colors and wear location that my PC had chosen.
If it's any consolation, it's Loudmouth's loud mouth that got him killed.
You really shouldn't sit at certain bars bragging about all the stuff in your pack, 'cause y'know...someone might decide to take a closer look.

My beautiful Dwarf was betrayed by Loudmouth. I guess it's my own fault for gambling on the roof-tops. I will say that as a player I had a decent idea something was coming due to someone 'saying' something that was meant to be 'wayed'. I was a good sport though and ran with it and ate the backstab like a champ. Though, a part of me hopes you suffered a similar fate. Hah.

Well. I am sure Stick's year is up. Stick/Petro was fun.
He was a southerner with aspirations of being a merchant. He approached labyrinth not as a den of thieves, but as a market that needed a bit of investment to flower. And ... he succeeded. It was awesome. But he was soooooo not a rinthi. I still remember a scene, where he actually brought the entire guild to the orphanage, dragging bags of food with them and we all "donated" the food to all those kids. The matron is like ... here, "takes a dim-witted kid and throws him to one of the guildies" You can do whatever you want with him. And he was like, uhh ... no? That food is like umh ... what's the word? Free? Very unrinthi. Though I approached it with a pretty simple logic. If the kids grow up on the Guild's food, they want the guild to go on, with all that it entails.
Stick was a character who within his very first rl week of gameplay was assumed to be a psionicist by some and a sorceror by others. I think people were so used to non mundanes in the rinth, they assumed anyone who isnt twinking up their combat skills has to have some other types of skills.
There are also some fun non guild related stories about Stick, but some of it might still be going on in the game, so I wont talk about it. Overral, major thanks to many people who played in the labyrinth during those times. It was an awesome run.
This, however, has been a year: rinthi bard turned byn sergeant, turned undertuluk management, turned high ranking rinth enforcer, turned tuluki murderer/mugger, turned salarri political brancher, turned an ankheg's snack.
Sue/Eight/Strings/Treg/Kashi.
Objective: to open a pastry/teashop.
Cause of death: Player boredom.
Lesson learned.

I think I remember you. Or rather, Roach does. It's been over a year, definitely.
I let a 50 day noble character die due to the psionicist messages he was receiving, resulting in him sitting down for a long period of time while being hunted instead of running away.
And they didn't even play with me when they caught me. Sadface. :(

The matron is like ... here, "takes a dim-witted kid and throws him to one of the guildies" You can do whatever you want with him. And he was like, uhh ... no? That food is like umh ... what's the word? Free? Very unrinthi. Though I approached it with a pretty simple logic. If the kids grow up on the Guild's food, they want the guild to go on, with all that it entails.
Stick was a character who within his very first rl week of gameplay was assumed to be a psionicist by some and a sorceror by others. I think people were so used to non mundanes in the rinth, they assumed anyone who isnt twinking up their combat skills has to have some other types of skills.
There are also some fun non guild related stories about Stick, but some of it might still be going on in the game, so I wont talk about it. Overral, major thanks to many people who played in the labyrinth during those times. It was an awesome run.
Really, a year? Huh. Doesn't seem like it.
*looks up logs from that time*
Hmm... Yeah, probably just past a year very recently.
Well played. :)

Well. I am sure Stick's year is up. Stick/Petro was fun.
He was a southerner with aspirations of being a merchant. He approached labyrinth not as a den of thieves, but as a market that needed a bit of investment to flower. And ... he succeeded. It was awesome. But he was soooooo not a rinthi.

I think I remember you. Or rather, Roach does. It's been over a year, definitely.
I loved Roach! Loved. He was one of the best things about my PC's life.
I picked up some loose ends with my paranoid dwarf, Baz when Stick vanished and assassinated a big fancy gemmer for a lucrative payout.
I also got a player complaint about the hit, which says to me I did it right. But who knows, maybe I should have given the magicker a chance to finish my character in a single spell.
That was my first guild experience and it was mass fun. Big props to Stick and Loudmouth and Roach and that other guy that apparently hasn't been dead for a year yet.

On my account notes for my last 40+ days played character, I have a note (from Olgaris, I bet) about poop. My character wasn't a dung-grebber or anything like that, either.

As short-lived as she was, not many people probably remember her, but I played Torch up in Tuluk, about a year and a quarter ago. Good times. :)
My character was dead within hours, it wasn't even a full day yet! Haha.

just centuries ago that this land supported surprisingly abundant flora and
fauna. Today, only a few thorny plants, growing in tiny crevices, remain.
A dusty stone bola lies here, its fist-sized stones held together by sinew.
A small-headed arrow with a shaft of agafari wood lies here.
A couple of bodies of a brick-red desert tarantula are here.
A ruined tent camp lies among the plains, half-buried in sand.

MMHMM thanks. Now its all ruined :-\.
But now we must meet IC and give me ice
Pshaw, tarantulas.
Someone else and I killed something like eight of them and a siltflyer by ourselves (no magick involved).
And that was only when I was at day 25. He went on for about 35 more. Toward the end, I could tank 4 of them without even getting hit.

That would be roughly what was accomplished up there.
Had a dwarf warrior who could kill a Mek, but died to a Bamuk.
I always suspected an imm tweaked it to punish me for powergaming (it happened from time to time, back then), but was assured it wasn't the case. Now I think some magicker buffed the hell out of it. XD

Reminded of this by another thread.
An assassin of mine was given a handful of contracts over her lifetime, and each one was actually completed by someone else. She took all the credit (and all the pay) for various reasons involving luck, charisma, political machinations and flat-out lying.
The few times she did actually kill someone for her own reasons, public opinion was that it was someone else who put the knife in.
I found it hilarious (and fitting).

Why're cilops on that list? They're not even remotely as tough as the others.
Quantity of opponents provides modifiers, and cilops in that quantity are actually fairly difficult to take down quick enough not to get yourself dead pretty quick without being pretty damn tough, same as the rest.
We don't discuss specifics of the combat code on the GDB.
That's why you kill them within the first three combat rounds! :D

I caused a war. I also caused Akaramu's first (?) character to die. At the same time.
YES, I can finally post this!Quote from: character update
- <slave character> has been masturbating in the barracks whenever he is beginning to lose control of his sexual desires--which happens quite a lot. Often he will excuse himself from a normal conversation to do it.
Quote from: Account notes
- Masturbating in the barracks
A certain Warlord had to Way this slave I was playing to yell at him about it. What made it funnier was that I 'faded' masturbating--i.e. hopped into a cot and changed ldesc every time I did it. (Maybe a funny emote every once and a while.)
What a rewarding account note.

I don't think changing ldesc while you are sitting or lying on something actually changes your ldesc so that it is visible to the room...unless that has been fixed, which would be awesome. I mean, great story and everything. Just saying.
A -very- rewarding account note, I agree. Though on what LM said, I don't think if you're sitting on something, changing the ldesc actually does a damn thing, after a few situations with a previous character.
Though. If that character was doing what he was doing -and- masturbating... I don't think he would have lasted as long.
Wat? You can't change ldesc while sitting on something? Blaspheme. I've been doing this for years and years with no reason?
I demand a patch!
This was a bit over a year ago... so I believe the ldesc prompt change was in. So I could see my ldesc in the prompt was changed...
Changing ldesc while sitting at anything DOES change your ldesc for all to see.

A little while back, I won Armageddon. I was a nay-sayer myself, claiming it was impossible, but I was wrong. A combination of events happened IG and I was like, "did I...? Did I just win Arm?", and I realized I did, or came as close as I ever would, anyway. :P But alas, the story must wait a year.
Is it just me, or has this been a year.

I'm still around. It's probably best to wait until December to tell that little tale, because once I start talking about that character I tend not to stop. It'll also be a much more impressive post that way. ;) As a teaser, I'm pretty sure that the story I'm alluding to there involved a ragtag posse, fell magicks, a daring rescue in the far reaches of the Known and a shitload of halflings.
The best part is that a lot of the -craziest- shit happened after that post. ;D

I'm looking forward to this post.. Heh. That was a crazy fuckin' trip. One of my favorite moments by far.. Make sure you throw in some of my character's shining moments during that, heh. By any chance, did you save that log? I'd love to have it.
I was 'The bomber' in Tuluk, a long, long time ago. I make the assumption I have been the only one known as such, or atleast the first one.
I mudsexed Clint the bartender, in the Sanctuary backroom.
I had HG bard
I weakened Allanak considerably in the Copper Wars, partially at fault for (IMO) them losing.
I had a character show up to a tuluki costume party wearing the following:
An entire set of Tor noble armors complete with the uncleaned blood of the Tor noble who was killed while wearing it.
Same Tor noble's warhammer
A blue allanaki templar's robe
two allanaki templar signet rings
a House Kasix signet ring
a medallion of tektolnes worn about the neck
a medallion of tektolnes worn about the throat
a medallion of tektolnes held in my hand that I emoted twirling around my finger.
I won the costume contest.

Now that took balls. Especially if you were the one who killed the Tor noble. If you were a commoner, were you executed immediately afterwards?

That was a memorable party. My character's costume was considerably less impressive.
I remember the Salarr party a bit later.

He was about as far from commoner as any PC ever gets, actually.
That Tor noble didn't use a warhammer.
I thought the hammer was Palimus's.
I was responsible for the burnination of an entire village.

Palimus never held a warhammer in his entire life, just big swords. He used a sparring club a few times, though.
But yes, I heard about that costume, heh.
Hm. I wonder who dropped the hammer, then? We pwned so many of you scummy souhrons during the Copper War, it's hard to keep it all clear!
Not sure if it goes in bragging or shame, but someone may or may not have attended that same event dressed as a Fale noble, with a name that implied that Fale sucked.

The armor/hammer was acquired circa 2003, I doubt it was from the same tor noble you're thinking of. I honestly don't remember who the noble was, I just know he was wandering outside somewhere, some tuluki HG saw him and squished him and sold his armor to my character, but I let him keep the tor signet ring for lulz.
I honestly still thought it was funny that someone at that party got marked for death by the south for wearing a replica templar outfit, and I got away clean with wearing an outfit that was acquired through the deaths of over half a dozen southern nobles and templars.

I know people that will disagree and others that would be insulted by this statement. Good job. Those people won Tuluk, huh? Good for them.
I had a Byn deserter who fell off the Shield Wall and got lost in the Tablelands without a mount. The most exciting part was when I had a squad of gith chasing me around, who I only managed to escape by flailing off a chasm but scrambling for purchase on the first try successfully (with a warrior/linguist wearing heavy armor and no experience at all climbing).
Eventually with the help of some elves he managed to get to Luir's where he joined Kurac and lived happily ever after (read: I ended up storing him because I got too busy to play him and it seemed a good stopping point for his story; I really wish I could have kept him up!).
I remember the day NPCs first began to give chase.
Dead PCs everywhere on the North Road, and more dying trying to get to the bodies.
I once had a character that was of the land, though he spent a lot of time grebbing salt. He was a northy, and as it turns out was grebbing oneday when someone comes and banishes him. Ending up on a mountain top, somewhere, and nowhere. All his food and water were in his pack, on his mount, which was not banished with him. So he wanders around this maze of a mountain top sheer drops at every turn, then there a bush, with fruit, this bush would produce five to seven piece of fruit, and knowing fruit offered both food and relief from thirst was extatic. Lived a Rl week lost on the mountain top not trusting the climb stayed in the area, hoping his friends he was waying could figure out hwere he was. Until, he got thirsty, and was full, so he couldn't codedly eat any more fruit to stay his thirst. Feeling faint, and desperat he goes for the climb, was doing well, till he passed out while climbing. Funny the fall didn't kill him, persay, but the beasty on the cliff that ate his knocked out person.

You know, you can keep using 'taste' to take bites of food even when you're stuffed.

I once had a dwarf who achieved his focus when the Plainsman floated down from on high and handed him a silver ring of his very own.
He then promptly ate something poisoned with terradin and died. Horribly. But, still! Focus achieved!
What was his focus?
Owning a metallic object of his very own. He was a Rukkian, one of the Plainsman's groupies. The Plainsman figured out his focus (my character wasn't exactly subtle about it... metal was all he talked about). I assume he was trying to win my dwarf's loyalty by basically handing him his achieved focus. It probably would've worked, too, if my character hadn't promptly fucked off and died.
You were a Plainsman groupie? That belongs in the shame thread.

Hey... I don't crap on your achievements, guys. :'(
Played a Kadian who retired a little over a year ago.
Had ran off from home when he was a kid but came back to Tuluk after the person who had taken him in, died.
The last [PC] agent had made a mess of things and Kadius had dropped to the bottom of the totem pole as far as favor with the powers that be.
He managed to turn that around and gain a great deal of favor back to the house.
Had probably half the non-sponsored PCs in Tuluk working for him (only about half of those officially, though).
Gained a lot of favor with the normal commoners: he would just randomly hand out sacks of coins or way over pay for goods and services.
Managed to have spies working for him in both the other merchant houses, most of the noble houses, and even the Legion.
Had one secret lover that he actually managed to keep a secret, but always had a "cover"story [or two or three] he kept around as well to throw off any suspicion. (as far as I know only one person on "his side" ever found out).
He did his ABSOLUTE best to make everyone outside his circle of trust think he was a drunk, spice-head, manwhore, and I'm pretty damn sure it worked. ;)
Let's see, what else? Oh....
While 'winning' Tuluk, he was also becoming in league with [super secret bad-guy group], working on becoming a Mind Bender for both his own reason and to have a better chance of joining the afore mentioned group, and kept getting in trouble from staff for knocking of employees that he thought were bad for business. :D
My all-time favorite, though, was this:
(I had planned to edit these logs into story form and submit them, but my comp crashed so I am posting it here)
After arranging a the fake death of my "cover-story" lover for a Nobleman that wanted her dead, while I really hid her out in Red Storm for an IG month, I was called back to Tuluk by a Lirathan under the pretense of discussing a chariot that I was building for her personally. After getting back the next RL day or two, a Jihean finds my mind and tells me he wants to discuss an order at our estate, so I invite him in, he has one or two PC legionaires with him and some NPCs as well, so I'm like, "Oh, shit, they found out about [super secret bad-guy group]!"
I politely invite him up on the porch for dinner and booze, he accepts so we go on up and he's like, "Do you have any idea what the punishment for treason is?" and I'm like, "Treason? Never beening seen or heard from again, I would think? Do you need someone delivered by me for arrest?" (this particular templar was ICly VERY bad as trying to get something across subtly) So we go back and forth for several IC hours (me still thinking they have discovered who I had been dealing with) until he finally comes out and says that I've committed treason by accepting and partaking in an assassination contract without a license, and basically wants me to bribe my way out of it. I quite literally laugh in his face. My plan had worked... too well. Then after probably three RL mins of me not letting my character stop laughing, I settle him down and he says something to the effect of, "Oh... her. She's in the argosy over there, asleep now, I believe. I can deliver her to you later in the week as proof. (she was logged out and his PC was understanding about it)
So we awkwardly finish out drinks and they leave. The best part though, was the Lirathan who called me back to Tuluk summoning me and the girl the next day into the Heart so she can see her alive for herself and hear the story.
I was verbally and openly praised by a Lirathan for being able to fool them and the Jiheans for so long.

pfft you're just jealous.
My first good account note was due to skilling... sparring with one of synth's characters.
I got player kudos (and probably karma) for a fight with a tregil/bamuk/weak-ass creature which lasted for about 10-15 minutes, irl.
If you didn't know better, you would have assumed the creature I was fighting was one of the strongest, best of it's breed.
Truth is, I had a d-elf with all poor stats & AI agility.
I hit fast, I hit often - But for only 1 point of damage, each time.
I organised that RPT with the kryl hive a few years back. That one that ended in FWOOOSH.
That was a good'un, Salarris and Rum and Markua and Murk et al.
I was the one who abused that RPT in order to get a set of blackened black brigandine. BLACKER THAN BLACK.

One time my pals and I were attacking a lair of acidic beasts, and as the corpses piled up we started taking periodic acid damage from the presence of so many. Thinking quickly with the mighty power of being stoned, my excep-strength, poor-wisdomed hero picked up all the corpses and chucked the one-by-one out of the room. The imm who inflicted body-wide acid burns on my PC was presumably not impressed.
I was cool with it, though. I very much loved having the game's only full set of blackened black brigandine. BLACKER THAN BLACK.
You were really proud of that, huh?
And you want to know something...?

Srsly.
(From now on, I know you'll have it out for me aka my PC's)
It's probably for the best. You don't want to know the kinds of things ol' Bryn did in that armor. I hope you kept the hat, though.

If I'm remembering this right, I got the gorget. Spoils of war-- er, I mean, spoils of receiving after-action reports LIKE A BOSS. The thought during that report? "Yeah, I kinda figured that guy wanted to die."
Heh, I remember I'd discovered an instant teleportation bug....
Remember back when the Staff had that port set up for that chat thing on the mud?
After it'd closed down, I decided to log in through that port to see if the chatroom was still up.
At the time, I had Doshek.... I logged out somewhere in 'Rinth-- but when I logged in, I wound up in Undertuluk.
Then I went through the regular game port-- wound up in 'Rinth where I logged out.
Baffled, I logged in through the chat port again, in Undertuluk again.
I could've abused that -so hard-.
But I bugged it.
And it was fixed.
Was pretty neat though.

I really wanted to grab all the soldiers in Allanak and just invade Tuluk, wipe the deserts free of everything, etc, etc.
I had a D-elf character who had acquired a silver earring and a silver ring. Not silvery wood, not bone painted silver. Silver. AG. Atomic number 47.
Those little pieces of honest-to-god-metal sat in my pouch for a very long time and were never brought out for any reason. I stored the character with them still in my inventory, effectively removing a little bit of metal from the Known World forever.
Yeah, that was me. I did that. ;D
Shouldn't that be in the shame thread?
All of my PCs who have ever had metal, be they delves, dwarves, HG (And yes, I have had silver, iron and steel with all three) wore them, used them, loved them.
The best death any of my characters ever had was at the hands of Plainsman. It certainly (in my case, anyway) wasn't a huge fistful of death, well, at least until after the awesome RP.
I had an d-elf find an iron dagger.
Then die to a group of gith on the way back to his camp.

Ode to Cpl Drake & Sgt Hawk of the Byn.
Dusty Plains [NESW]
Strong winds, the prevailing force in this area, billow up red dust that
settles onto everything in sight. The ground is mottled with clumps of red
dirt, which the winds scatter about endlessly. According to legend, it was
just centuries ago that this land supported surprisingly abundant flora and
fauna. Today, only a few thorny plants, growing in tiny crevices, remain.
A dusty stone bola lies here, its fist-sized stones held together by sinew.
A small-headed arrow with a shaft of agafari wood lies here.
A couple of bodies of a brick-red desert tarantula are here.
A ruined tent camp lies among the plains, half-buried in sand.
A brick-red, low-bodied tarantula lies close to the sands.
A brick-red, low-bodied tarantula lies close to the sands.
A large war beetle crawls about, struggling against its chitin harness.
- it is carrying a bahamet-embroidered leather backpack.
The very tall male wearing a dusty bone, black-painted hawk mask is standing here, bleeding profusely.
A brick-red desert tarantula is here, fighting you.
A brick-red desert tarantula is here, fighting you.
A large war beetle crawls about, struggling against its chitin harness.
- it is carrying a bone-studded backpack.
The tall and thin female wearing a dusty gauzy scarlet cotton veil lies on the ground stunned, unable to move.
A hooked-beak siltflyer lies here mortally wounded, on the verge of death.
A brick-red desert tarantula is here, fighting you.
A brick-red desert tarantula is sleeping here, bleeding profusely.
A war beetle is reclining here.

A war beetle is reclining here, looking a bit winded.[/quote]
If those spiders could post in this thread they'd be able to put up an epic kill roster.
On my 3rd pc ever. I duo'd those spiders at about 8 days played. And my PC killed about 5 of them.
I once had a bug teleport me into a multitude of rooms that had yet be made, I beleive they were actually titled as 'unfinished room' or some such. I proceeded to pull out a lump of chalk and in each room do something like this.

lol, I remember when I had Doshek, <insert magicky thing here> wound up teleporting him to to an unfinished room.
And when I wished up, the staff member said something like this:
"Ohshi--.... You weren't supposed to see any of this.... I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to slay this char-- he's seen too much. Ready....?"
And then the staffer beeped me. x]
And then he asked me if I wanted to have <magicky thing> happen again, or if I wanted to be dropped off somewhere "interesting".
I chose interesting.
And it was very interesting indeed, staffer even animated some fun stuff. ;D
A few hours later, got killed by something completely unrelated. x-X

There's a drawing in the art gallery of a character wearing a set of items I'm pretty sure I wrote up years ago. I had no idea they were ever put in the game. It feels nice. :)
I see people wearing a piece of jewelry I wrote all the time. I wonder if they know the significance.
I vote every day I play - and even sometimes when I don't if i'm checking the GDB.
I wrote up the tenement in the plaza outside the Red's Retreat as a place for Nenyuk to rent a couple of apartments, to increase the number of pickable doors for thieves in Allanak, and to portray how I thought housing would work in the world, better than little individual places.
I've always wondered if the building influenced the creation of the apartment code.

I once played a gypsy teenager for a period of just a few weeks. My stats were horrible, but during my brief time in the Tan Muark I was constantly penniless, destroyed at least three tables (one by dancing on it), was arrested thrice, banished twice, and made one death defying solo journey through the desert by erdlu, fleeing from gith and raptors the entire way before staggering to safety with something like 30 hp.
I'm not sure but I think I might have also exasperated some people.
I AM Muk Utep. That's my brag.
I stared in Arm maybe a year and a half ago. I knew Arm was harsh, complicated, and heavy-roleplaying. So I started with no expectations. For my first character, I made a Rinthi burglar, figuring I would learn the ropes, get used to the RP style, practice the commands, and probably die young.
He lasted 26 game days playing time, nearly 4 months RL. Made a number of connections, got pretty skilled.
One day he's walking through the Rinth. Suddenly, my computer froze. I had to reboot. When I logged back in two minutes later: Mantis head.

T-Junction [E, S, W]
Two ill-maintained streets -- if one can call them even that -- come
together here in a crude junction. The high buildings of reddish stone are
chipped and cracking, but still serve to shield you from the biting sun and
sand of the outside desert. The stench of death fills the air, making you
wonder just how poor one must be to live here. You feel penned in, despite
the fact that the junction is quite wide.
Alleyways snake off to the west, east and south into near-darkness.

You frolic south.
Someone just reminded me of a scene that happened on my Salarri Agent. She was consistently drunk all the time. And not just drunk, but druuunnk. At one point she was gathering up her outfit to go to the bar but got distracted and ended up walking to the Sanctuary naked, carrying her clothes.
She sat next to a Lyksaen and Kassigarh and held a conversation with them for about 10 RL minutes before someone (I think it was the bartender,) pointed out that my Salarri was naked with her clothes sitting in her lap.

Although...I have had the misfortune of playing with Delerak, so I think I've got a vague idea. :P
p.s. I'll grant that it's possible that Delerak is reformed or something now, and is an awesome roleplayer, just in case he's moved along and got himself a new account and GDB persona. If so: congrats.

I meant it the other way, more like he purposefully has chosen to distance himself from the game. I'm sure if he wanted to come back he probably could, I just think his actions have indicated a desire not to. I could easily be wrong on the subject though.

I believe he's still playing.... Said he thinks he remembers playing with me in a clan somewhere not too terribly long ago in a PM on TMS.
Though I haven't played with any horrible uber-twinks who were fully branched within three days played with 500000000 coins in their nenyuk account....
So if he is indeed playing again, and he did indeed play with me in recent memory, I'd have to say he's cleaned his act up.
But I digress....

have played with Delerak. While it is safe to say that he was a

also safe to say that he could RP (outwardly) just fine when he wanted to. Delerak has never suffered from an inability to roleplay - he suffered from an inability to not have his skills maxed out.

He also suffered from not being able to steal every goddamn idea I ever made the mistake of sharing with him IG. Not a single fucking creative thought anywhere in that worthless husk of a subhuman.
I'm still fucking pissed that he took the name RunningMountain after hearing that my PC had called another PC that.
Fuck you, Delerak. Die in a goddamn fire.
And it was My PC that was called that, so I was annoyed as well.
Ah, the joy of a HG ruk...snicker.
And, strangely, my HG Elkrosian was also called that, by a DE, once.
I am now curious, what's the worst thing that Delarak has done?
Survive the abortion?
Doesn't matter, it's a bragging thread.
I once played a Kadian who convinced everyone in Kadius a certain hunter spent his down time in the garden with Catamites.
Told everyone he was from the mountains of red storm east, and generally lied about everything. Somehow he became first hunter heh.

I remember both those characters. They drove my character to drink..not a very hard thing, after all. They
were "related."
Alright, I'll admit it. I destroyed the CAM twice, with two different characters. I've seen the posts and the questions regarding, 'What every happened to .. ", well it was me. Wasn't anything personal, well, no that's a lie: the first time was definitely personal and was in response to an old assassination attempt. The second time, though, the one that stuck , that wasn't personal, promise. Just happened to have been consistently placed upon the opposing side, against the power-rangers of Allanaki mages.
Note: This isn't in the shame thread, because I never said I was sorry. :)

Ha, he did the same thing against the tribe I was making, which sadly never really got off the ground.
My first character living three RL months and succeeding in getting enslaved by a raiding elf and drug to Tuluk. I had been told I could have a job with Salaar if I found some flint. Having no idea as to how to find flint, upon being drug to Tuluk I was sold to a Faithful Lord. I walked around barefoot and starving and happened to find a pack with food and one piece of flint. I then shamelessly spam walked back to Allanak, gave the piece of flint to the Salarri and told him the whole story. He didn't believe me, and hired me. I died to a gith with maces, not realizing maces took off stun.
Getting flung across the world by a scary, infamous witch NPC and then while pregnant, dying of thirst, hallucinating and with my adopted kiddo PC freaking out in my head being rescued from a chasm across the world Indiana Jones style with halflings on our tail, shooting poisoned darts and all of us completely lacking of the climb skill - actually surviving that by like a handful of HP.
Getting to play an exiled bard.
Playing a thief that stole from Sharlo Kadius' boss and having my baby kidnapped before I (briefly) became a fugitive and realized just how much you don't fuck around with assassins.
Playing a gambling addict that actually got to steal from her friends to keep the addiction going, and had the worst luck of any character I've ever had by sheer miserable chance.
I once codedly kicked Gage Gritshaw by accident with a character that didn't even have the kick skill while trying to use the dump command.
I once found and got addicted to a powerful magick item and eventually got myself and my mate killed over it after handing it off to the Plainsman.

I saw Muk Utep IG a few times. And a few other oh shit moments I've loved that other people probably wouldn't give a crap about. :)
I had a 6 day warrior who survived attacking his whole Byn unit while out on contract.
Mind you, someone else had gotten on my computer after I got up to go get something to eat. But, you know. He still survived. There was a half-giant in that unit, too.
Two 100+ day characters.
I played a character that petted a bahamet and sang it a lullaby.
I played a character that jumped from Shield Wall height to save an injured bird.
I played a character that was effectively the locomotive on the Zalanthas version of a bullet train (takes a few magickers working together and is damn hilarious when you picture it this way instead of what it really looks like IC).
I once caught a fish THIS big, and then it killed and violated my PC in a simultaneous fashion.

Thrend had a habit of doing whatever he could to piss off people in authority. He sent Ehrick down for that delegation, and in the process made him a commoner (since, to Lyksae, commoner and slave Warriors were virtually the same in terms of loyalty). He did it entirely for the annoyance factor (imagining--correctly or no--that it would stick in the craw of Samos, Mallor, Paryl, etc. that this guy was a slave only weeks before by their reckoning). He was sent along with the full expectation on Thrend's part that it would result in some kind of incident.

Is it true that Ehrick was a first character?
Third, if I remember right. One of my favorite characters to play with, and I'm glad I introduced that guy to Arm.
He came out with Thrend in the incredibly awkward meeting between him and the desert elves of the Elan Pah. (Or at least, he was the escort...I don't remember if he was in on the meeting. I've got a log somewhere of it.) Thrend didn't really believe they were all abominations, despite intelligence pointing to this (imo, my favorite part of playing a low wisdom character). The discussion with Ehrick afterwards was memorable.
"They were all fucking abominations."
"Yes, fa'kir."
"I'm going to destroy all of them."
Ehrick was a great character that made my work with Thrend look way better, and I can't give him enough credit.
To stay on topic with this being a brag thread...um...
Thrend tried to trap Sharak Dragonsthrall, but before doing that, negotiated for the Allanaki templar medallion from him. The medallion was later used as decorative work for a mastercraft mace order...it's in that really great artwork piece that Biscuits made.
Ehrick was a third character? I never knew! Their player was that good!
I still remember a conversation had upon a wagon ramp between him and three gypsies.
"Little tregil, don't hurt my boot."

While I missed that particular meeting, I gotta say some very nice, memorable stuff happened in that part of the Known in 07/08. My brag this time around? My PC at the time once had a conversation with a gimpka rat, and it was not a monologue.

I seem to recall this as well, I don't remember if my PC was there for it or your PC just told mine about it. Cool times. 8)
Miss those days.
Epic Elan Pah was epic.
I had an awesome pc then. I lost her while bioing on the north road. The first part of this statement is a brag.
Once my char and a companion were walking on the North Road. I had a plate of spaghetti on my desk, above my keyboard. My CRT took up most of my desk, so my plate hung over the keyboard a little bit. A gith captain walks in and attacks my companion, and in my haste to type back gith, I hit my plate and knocked it down on keyboard, spilling everything. I still managed to type back gith though, and they were able to kill it, but most of my keys had a permanent orange tinge after that. :)
Maybe this should have been a shame...
At the time I was always bothered by the fact that Thrend didn't have the restraint to hear out Falcon when they met on the North Road. I was thinking about handing over some Tor armors, Templar rings, etc.. But Thrend ruined that opportunity when he or one of his warriors (I don't recall which) attacked Falcon. I would have enjoyed to see the expressions and thoughts of everyone in Thrend's caravan after the brief combat, but I wasn't willing to gamble survival if everyone else decided to attack.
I can't blame Thrend at all though. I found myself in the shoes of a magicker-hating Jihaen a few months later whose philosophy torward magickers was kill first, question later. :)
On another note, I wish I could have seen the expressions when that half-giant Kuraci tried to subdue Falcon while he was in the Storm's End. Those were always fun, tense times. I had dreams IRL about templars trying to catch Falcon fairly frequently.
My favorite moment during that whole 07/08 mess was taking a cranky old man nap in Samos' bed, and then waking up to berate him about how stupid he was being.
I popped tatlum twice.
I only ever played out mudsex twice. Both times there was a third person in the room. go exhibitionist!
I remember when my noble went to go visit House Oash with another newly-accepted noble, and being put in my place by a specifically awesome Oashi noble.
"We'll have to talk to our older cousin about that..."
"No, you won't."

Definite brag. Gith defense through strings of spaghetti.
I once got some girl to play Armageddon. She made an insufferably pretty girl who wanted to join the Byn, and had high opinions of certain rights she felt she had with her character. When I explained to her exactly what is involved with the Byn, and why she shouldn't make incredibly beautiful characters (especially in the Byn), she got in a big row at me about how I am only trying to make her play the game the way I want her to play, and I think she quit.
This is totally a brag, by the way.

I think this is pretty true. I bring other players in and I'm afraid I find myself sometimes pressing them a little too much of my own views at how something/someone should be played. I just try and keep it in check, though.
You're better off stressing the important things and working in the nuance gradually. Let them be beautiful, but make sure they don't hug elves.
Let them be smart, but make sure they bow to templars (or nod)
Let them be nice, but make sure they understand their place in the world.
People tend to improve with each incarnation but you have to let them settle in.

first character lasted less than 1 day.
second character was 50+ days and she...
-in multiple plots.
-killed a gicker
-killed a defiler (wasn't alone here)
-befriended a very elusive clan and ended up being their main contact / spy to the city world (which nearly got her killed numerous times)
-survived a wagon fall and gith siege.
-pretty much made an officer b4 she died.
-could down a bahamet on her own at melee.. and was a lower end str race.. (but didn't after the first time as I'm pretty sure it was twinky to do so)
-A certain Templar who had a severe hatred for Southerners, offered this character a job (she was a southerner and a breed).
-in a plot to assassinate someone very big (and died a la n00b on the way to do it).
-had a pretty rare falcon and actually emoted with it in almost every possible occasion it was worn (squawks right in your ear in the middle of a speech + shits on your shoulder)
-saw and killed things I can't write here b/c I they're super rare and have no mention from a GDB search or in the helpfiles.
-this character made me really love arm, its staff and the players.
-showed me that mundanes.. even the 'lowest of the low', can be super fun, long-lived, involved in plots, respected, codedly strong, and cause a void when they're gone ever if only for a short while.

That's pretty damned impressive for a 2nd character.

I can't wait until you can post about that one epic character of yours that I know of.
I had a character who...
- Became a Byn Lieutenant, which was one of my little OOC goals since my first character, who was also a long-lived Byn leader.
- Was in more tight spots and crazy expeditions than I can really remember, and met each and every one with a brazen, death-and-glory-seeking badassitude that was a lot of fun to play.
- Managed to utter a very Flintstones'-appliance-like "It's a living" before just about every stupid (but necessary) drop off of a cliff. The climb skill was the bane of my existence, and there was a running joke for a while that the only thing that could stop Warband Fury was a climb of about ten cords. :D ... he then climbed a god damn mountain with some extreme help from a super-ranger.
- Had an absurd stat roll, which probably aided his survival. Wisdom was something like average, but the other stuff was -insane-.
- Apparently had a cursed seed, as the women he impregnated would die before giving birth. (Sorry!)
- Had the pleasure to play around some very memorable characters.
- Struggled through a rhyming contest in the north, just because the Byn needed the damned publicity up there!
- Was confused for southern militia several times. It was a black -military aba-, guys.
- Was invited to become a student at House Tor, paid the price and did so, and then more-or-less gave them the finger and walked away because he thought they mostly sucked (but I loved you guys! :-*)
- Had a metal item given to him by a noble at a party. Had another item that was suspiciously metal, but I'm not entirely sure about it. Wore the latter constantly, and saved the former for special occasions. Because seriously.
- Had a cache of totally weird and obscure items from whenever the last PC Byn Lieutenant was around.
- Had an extreme sensitivity about his height, and a general inferiority complex that I'm not sure people really picked up on. In his virtual background, his first days as a sergeant after he let his previous superior die (Byn advancement, yo!) were spent sorting shelves in the northern compound's storeroom. He had a lot to prove when he became a PC.
- Had adventures. Crazy god damned adventures!
- Had an extremely long list of titles, some self-styled and some given: Boozebane the Magnificent, Byn Guardian, Demonslayer, Hero of Deeds, and more. Boozebane was the only one made up based on virtual events (his trooper years), the rest were all "earned" in one way or the other IG. Oh, in his background he was also frequently called "Runner Runt" by his tyrannical sergeant, due to his short stature and over all wimpiness.
- Was codedly pathetic (in relation to the other badasses of the era, and even a decent amount of his minions), but still managed to survive and thrive in some absurd scenarios. An IC-pruned but by no means complete set of examples:
1) After a total clusterfuck of magickal proportions in the wilderness, a templar hit the road to cure him of some curse. My Bynner then allegedly (because even scanning over the log, I'm not sure) "borrowed" said templar's mount after flat-out refusing an impromptu contract so he could go rescue his mate beyond the reaches of the Known. It was a one way trip for the beetle, heh. Quite a crazy adventure in halfling land ensued. It was beyond epic, but I won't recount the whole mess here. The character told the story IG many, many times, and he was nothing if not honest about such things.
2) Survived killing an ankheg without a scratch. He was not so proud of that last bit. (Everyone else kept typing >kill ankheg faster than me! I wanted to taaaaaank :'()
3) Fought some exceedingly rare beasts WHICH SHALL NOT BE DESCRIBED.
4) During one of those mystery beast battles, he became mortally wounded. He hit -11 hp at one point. My prompt said "dead", but DEATH WAS NOT READY FOR THAT HERO OF DEEDS.... a templar rescued him. :D
5) In a crowning moment of awesome, he and some others cut down a magickal beast or two or three during the HRPT. This was after he refused to beg the templar who had saved his life previously to open the city gate to let the mother of his unborn child in to "safety." She vindictively Wayed him prior to her murder just before the magick critters hit.
6) Died literally charging into a blaze of glory.
tl;dr version: I absolutely loved playing that character. I've had better characters since then, but I've only had a week or so of play that even came -close- to the awesome of those months. I just can't believe it's already been a year! My two regrets are that I inadvertently got Janus killed a day before his retirement (classic), and that I more-or-less got the Byn mul killed on an impromptu trip. Kids, if you're leading a clan, don't let perceived OOC boredom of minions influence you into taking a pointless, ill-advised trip "just to do something." Become a part of ridiculous RPTs instead!

I know someone that hit that on the first. Not me, mind you. This other person had about 115 days played on her first ranger that went to work for a hunting clan and then left to go work for a noble clan instead, did all sorts of stuff and was eventually executed for being a traitor to the city but was really executed for being too much of a trouble magnet. She helped, long before that, assassinate the head of a noble house, the one she worked for too. She helped find the cure for loosetongue. All sorts of other crap I can't remember since it wasn't my character.

Nah, MeT, yours was still too noob by the time we had no reason to ever spar again, of that I'm 99% certain. My guy's standard procedure was to use an off-hand weapon he wasn't trained with for every bout. I think I only ever sparred "all out" with very few characters. Synth is legit, however. ;D
My dude never once tangled with Is Friday's (if it's the one I'm thinking of) ever, although his guy tried to arrange it. Hard. Unless it was some time at the Academy? If that's the case, then probably yes. However, I'm still pretty sure that your guy was out of the picture by then. ??? Maybe you snuck in a Bynner there or something, I don't know. Every other long-liver eventually got ridiculously skilled, but I just never practiced with my guy. With all the shit going on, there just wasn't time. My uberness was mostly due to the others around me, the character's disposition and the scenario, it's true.
Pretty much every one of his sergeants were far better fighters than him as well. My guy just had the utter thirst for adventure and renown that drove him to do things I couldn't picture risking with even my previous branched, sekrit-super-powered magicker. One of my favorite games to play was what I called "The Wait." We would be in an insanely dangerous situation where coded action -may- be expedient, and I'd just... wait to see what happens. I think I drove some people batty with that. More likely, they just didn't know/care that I'd purposefully avoid typing >flee or >kill right away. Yeesh, I don't even know if I have the testicular fortitude to do that ever again. I was never afraid to die with that character, because his death was a totally necessary ending. Eventual storage would be... bleh.

Dude, it was literally a conversation we had IG. My guy decided to Real Talk (tm) with him, which was fairly rare, but my officer owed the guy for years of excellent service. It was probably the most blatantly dangerous contract I've been on with any character. Seeing Janus' body after coming so close to death himself caused one of the only pangs of sadness/guilt the guy ever got from a dead Bynner. (Not that he was heartless and didn't love his warband. Sudden death was just a reality of the mercenary life, and after coping with it very personally in his background, true mourning only came up a couple times IG.)
I was actually just making a gay joke. Re-read the quote. ;)
edit: And yeah, I don't brag about who that PC beat. He was a spec app with impossible stats/size/weight to achieve without spec apping.
A couple of Quick brags. I had a character that knew him pretty early.
Quick rescued me from an npc in the labyrinth. I then just stood there, looking for a dagger to help him. Quick complained I was the slowest motherfucker on the draw ever.
I saw Quick do something ridiculously magicky that was probably an unintentional typo. I suspect that this is before anyone really knew what he was. I pretended that I didn't see anything.
Also had a later character who got a 2k bounty placed on his head and then convinced Quick not to pursue him. I brought my problems to the northern templarate and was suprised when they all secretly knew who Quick was.

I played Warlord Mallor Tor.
Anthinius Oash.
Just because I feel like we should have a reunion. ;)
And I played with both of you on those PCs. 8)
I was stuck between them at some point. :)
D'aww. All I did was play Ceja, the oversized slave to Mallor. :'(
Some of my favorites (that are old enough to name) that I've played:
Aiya - the much publicly beat Oash gemmed
Sid - the bronzed, henna-maned woman who outdanced a gypsy at a tribal party and was otherwise entirely too much fun.
Laili/Ali/Trouble - Tuluki mother of a Fale bastard and aide to a Kuraci, making 3k per roll in the sand and packing the tooth with bards, spice and Chosen.
Cumani - nuff said.
The guards at the Scaien gate saw me coming, yelled "A troublesome beast approaches!" and slammed the gates shut.
I was playing a 0 karma race / guild, not special app, completely mundane with no magick involved. Or undeadness. No immtervention. And I wasn't being followed. I -WAS- the beast. Figure that out. *snicker* 8)
I know what happened because the same thing happened to me.
QuoteI know what happened because the same thing happened to me.
OOoooooooooooooooooooh! *SHAKES FISTS TO THE HEAVENS!*
Really funny tho, I bugged the gate.
I played Elithan Winrothol.
This is a line from his initial biography written in Dec 2002:
"for he is still very young."

Ha!
My app for Raul was basically me going "LET ME PLAY THIS FUCKING BYN ROLE!!!!1111!!" and "I don't know what he looks like but he has a mustache, that's for sure."
The initial accepted background included the bit: "Years of training have made his body powerful, and years of hardship have made him grizzled as fuck."
As you can see, I -always- take great pains to develop the myriad layers of my complex characters.
My first magicker was a halfbreed gemmed, who, at under three hours played and with no particularly useful skills, was drafted to go be support staff for the army in the Copper War.
One day, long before the wilderness navigation code, he ran away from the army's camp in a huff because he was being treated like a halfbreed.
Wandering in a storm, he came upon a gith camp he didn't know was there. Three arrows came arching in, and he narrowly avoided serious injury through luck. He ran like a bitch, and became hopelessly and completely lost as night fell. He huddled down for the night, in the open with only a cloak, and ended up waiting out a three-day storm. Not only was the character lost, I was lost as well.
With no food, no mount, and almost no gear, he managed to flee a snake that came after him while looking for water (it out-matched him) and wander all the way to Luir's.
Resting and re-outfitting (he still had most of his newb coin), the halfbreed travelled, on foot, back to the 'Nakki camp. It had been days, and he'd been assumed dead.

Has it been a year for Raul, yet?
We have stories to tell.
Like the poetry contest, and who should really have won. ;)
It sucks that venomz and Zoltan get to brag after one year because they died. What about everyone who is still alive :P.
I don't really like knowing who's played who. Then again, part of me enjoys it.
Hmm -- My brag -- I've been playing this game long enough to 'remember the good old days'; however, I accept being laughed at by old timers like Synthesis and X-D who more than double my time spent playing Armageddon. Kudos for sticking around for so long, you cranky bastards. (You too, Malifaxis)

It's an Armageddon romance.
Okay, it's been way over a year, so I'm going to talk about my most beloved character.
I played the amber-hued, obsidian-eyed elf, a Red Fang called Ghost to some and Raniya to others. I played her for a year and a half during second quarter 07-fourth quarter 08. Some fun stuff:
- She was only my second PC.
- She had something like 50 days played or more... I can't remember.
- She ran with another of her tribe that was also well known, if not infamously, Venom.
- While playing her, Venom's player and I, helped to get much of the current Red Fang documentation written and in place.
- She was a mundane ranger, though most PCs that interacted with her and didn't know her well probably thought otherwise.
- She owned, used, and had access to many magickal items, most of which I have not seen since.
- She saw it rain.
- She saw some very far and out of the way places, and had been to just about everywhere in the Known and out of it.
- She, with the help of another PC, turned a certain place in the Tablelands into a more lush and flowery place.
- She had interactions with Quick.
- She had interactions with templars and nobles in both the north and south, and a lot of it was friendly.
- She, by the time I stored her, was fluent in every language except tatlum, even halfling.
- She had lots of friendly, non-cannibalistic interactions with halflings.
- She was involved in more than a couple world changing plots, including some of the "End of Days" plots that were big then.
- She was a "sister" to the last PC of the Silt Winds tribe before the tribe was made non-playable because they had all died out.
- She was a "sister" to a certain human PC, as well, that had ties to the Plainsman.
- She fought in the Gith War along-side templars and legionaires from Tuluk.
- She saw all manner of things that shouldn't talk, talk.
- She was involved in a lot of things that I still hear being talked about IC and it's really neat.
- Playing her I did the only PKs that I have ever done in my entire Armageddon career, and it was only two.
Edit: - She also interacted with Prophet and much of the Salarri Expansion team.
I played Arad, a Salarri Expansion Division Assassin (during the good ol' days). He was eventually kicked out because he failed an assassination on someone that was important to Serilla, (Aja?). Eventually Tuluk took him as a Slave. They then had him poison a bunch of weapons, and spend a lot of time teaching new recruits how to fight. Every part of his body had a tattoo on it.
I also played Prophet the free-roaming slave Mul, who was also involved in a ton of stuff. He loved Elithan a butt load. He once walked right into Samos command tent, without escort, carrying weapons. It resulted in some funny, brief, non-violent interaction.
Prophet died to three gladiator muls in Allanak, and im pretty sure it's because I thought he had a shield equipped when he didn't. He almost took out the three attackers one-handing a pretty crappy club. Prophet went to Allanak to turn himself over, because his bondmate was killed and his entire existance was shaken by some 'other' stuff.
Quote from: Dan on December 08, 2010, 01:42:18 PM
Prophet died to three gladiator muls in Allanak.
The fall out from this was pretty hilarious. I remember being so furious that your bondmate died. I paid her specifically to not die, that was HER JOB, to NOT DIE.
Also my favorite Prophet moment was after the whole Samos moment. We took the long way home up the north road and were resting by the gulch. It was just you me, and I think Valin. And some half-elf comes wandering up and said something retarded like, "You guys sure are a far way from home!" and Prophet's response was something along the lines of "Get the fuck out of here before I tear off your arms and beat you to death with them." And Valin just casually responds "Probably a good idea to do what the mul asks." I was slow to respond to that because I was laughing so hard.

I was with Templar Nelly when she had the muls accidentally kill you. You should have seen her face, she was so upset. :D The whole time, I was Waying Warlord Mallor to come down there and buy you. You played a great Mul.
Oh yeah.
With as much combat as he saw, Prophet never once went into a mul rage.
I am such a Dan fan. Prophet was really important to my PC, but I don't think he knew it.
I had a burglar who joined the Legion, because picks are expensive, and who knows better than a soldier how to avoid getting caught?
Being at a certain party and seeing a certain individual transformed her into a very loyal and committed soldier.
It was very frustrating to her that so many seemed unaffected and unchanged by what was truly a momntous event. But Prophet seemed to be one of the few who understood the significance of what was witnessed. As a result she felt strongly about him.
Bryn lost his mind at that party.
This was unfortunately for him very early in his life as a PC, too.

I played Axel and Venom, most notably.

I remember he once danced in the Azure Dragon
"I got your back, Runner. It's dancin' time."
And then one of his emotes included the phrase "his crappy dance".
Before I ended up giving a half-giant advice that got him attacked/jailed, and me yelled at. :(

Man, those were some fun times... Krath's Bull, Midge, Khortoc, Ankha, Shattered, Sands, Kija, Treya, Dancer, Tola, Stare, Falcon, Sun's Tear, Coban, Prophet, Speaks Twice, Lo'Ren, Fafad, Janus... so many more, but I have to comb through logs some more.

I once told this story to Dancer:
"You can't possibly understand what the destruction of Tuluk meant to us. Seventy-thousand people dead in an instance, you just can't understand what that means. Perhaps this story will enlighten you:
About fifteen years after, a young Tuluki woman was sitting at a bar talking to a Muark. The Muark woman was telling her a anecdote, but it was becoming clear the Tuluki woman wasn't following her well, so the Muark said 'Well, you know how cousins can be.' The Tuluki woman just responded 'No, I dont'."
Dancer was silent for a long time and then just said "That's... a very sad story."
Nahkt, Flower...does anyone remember Flower? The assorted Malarn stumpies, the White Rantarri - I still wish Tola could've hopped on his back and ridden him around, heh. She thought he was the bee's knees though, and he tolerated her company on several occasions.

I remember Flower, very well played! And Nahkt too, of course! I've been wracking my brain trying to remember the name of the first lady that ran around with Nahkt, Gingi? Maybe? I always assumed that the White Rantarri was an imm, but of course, when I knew him it was past his hey day.

I'm pretty sure Ginji or similar was the fake name Tola gave people she didn't know well. Tola was with Nahkt from the time they were both Mercenaries until her assassination. The White Rantarri was one of those "oh how awesome" things in the game. I assumed it started out as just a normal character, played by an IMM (their own personal PC since IMMs get to play too), and eventually became an avatar. I never learned one way or another but it's what I gathered. Another brag: my human, non-tribal Tola had a run-in with the White Rantarri, in the tablelands, while he was in his "original" form, and he let her live, without incident.

I wish I could take credit, then at least I'd have something interesting to post to the brag thread!
More bragging, less remembering old characters. :'(
I still have every email I have rever received from this game.
They total:
11,589 emails.
I've kept all my logs from my 3rd character onward.
My logs directory is 215 MB.
I've finally been around long enough to recognize someone in a log.
Seconded.
Speaking of old timers, I played Gin.
- My brag is, while being a world-wide-known mindbender, right under the Guild Quarters, I did manage to meet Serilla (a Lirathan for those who don't know her), Samos (Blue robe at the time), Aiyana (another blue), Kija (Leader of Elan Pah), Treya, and some of those names listed as old timers, along with some of the AoD's ranking officers for a short talk and send them back safely and soundly. Perhaps, there would not be another Guild leader who managed to bring a Lirathan to the Guild headquarters for a night's talk and smoke (she did not smoke though even when I offered it... yeah, she was boring like that)
- A group of mundane/magick combination were planning about how to assassinate me and Quick in an apartment room. Quick and I briefly "paid a visit" there, took the flowers from a vase (or maybe we took the songbird... or... maybe we talked about taking the bird and did not do it? I can't remember for sure) and "walked out" without a single word to the group that was sitting there. That group never again thought about killing us.
Another time we visited a merchant and discussed how his room was decorated nicely, and again, without talking to the occupants, we walked out.
Fun times...
There is a lot more of course, but they are fading from memory and most of them I can not even mention here anyway.
Oh, another brag. I also played Serpent. And during Serpent's time, Quick was my nemesis. We kept fighting perhaps several months until Quick got zorched. After 3 years and when I was playing Gin, Quick would tell me stories from past. A few times he told me his enemy Serpent. It felt amazing.
Looking back now, there are so many things I wish to say, or clarify, but unfortunately I can not say any of that on the boards. So many things got pinned on us, wrongfully accused due to spread of misinformation, but well... If I cared enough, I could fill up a blog. But I don't.

HAHA! That was either the dumbest or the most awesome thing I have ever done in Armageddon.
Do not post stuff that reveals the workings of certain guilds. You guys know this.
Elithan was a great character, Ender!
On another funny note in comparison of old warlords..
Kija's original sdesc included the word 'youth'.
I wonder if our creation dates were similar. Nope. August, 05. Still a senior by three years.
Cheers,
HD
I had several characters over Kija's life!
I remember the youth, because I was a seasoned hunter that died to Tears the Kuraci. I spam ran past him, returned for some interaction and I got bashed and killed.
I remember having Kija's baby! That character died to a bad thing in a hole after I went to meet an immortal controled NPC in a sekrit location and that immortal didn't show up that day and didn't tell me until I finished my perilous trek. On my very pissed return, I ran into the bad thing and fled into a hole. (A flee in the completely opposite direction than I was trying.)
I remember Kija's old jaded days! My character was there for the move and fought it.
