My first character was a Nakki and sent north by her house.  She's sitting in the Sanctuary with a hunter from the house who hands her something and tells her to just put it on the bar.  She does.  Next thing I know the bar is literally in pieces, broken glassware is everywhere, a Chosen Lady and her aide are standing on a couch shrieking, guards rush in and my pc is being interrogated.

You -were- the one that set the object in question on the bar. Of course you're the one to get interrogated. Bet the hunter said you were lieing when you pointed the finger at him/her too.

me and Tuluk never get along well. Always a disaster, but hopefully others enjoy it.

I think she was recounting not blaming
Varak:You tell the mangy, pointy-eared gortok, in sirihish: "What, girl? You say the sorceror-king has fallen down the well?"
Ghardoan:A pitiful voice rises from the well below, "I've fallen and I can't get up..."

My dumbest mistake in game ICly was having my independent merchant openly brag to an AoD Corporal that I'd paid to shag his woman. He thought she was exclusive but others in the Gaj started chiming in about paying her too!
My dumbest mistake in game OOCly was using kill instead of hit about half-way through the ensuing brawl.

It was really bad because Tarquin had just reached the point where he was being offered a wagon!

tl;dr = dont spam south.

Or the second time too for that matter. I'm going to make sure there isn't a third time. I think I've learned my lesson.

I learned my lesson 12 years ago, yet my characters haven't. Nor should they. Unrealistic to never trust anyone, ever. Someone eventually will earn it.  :o

Back when I didn't get it, on my second character I believe, I started using certain coded commands for a certain wormy guild. On a Templar. Guess who got thrown in the Arena and chomped by a gwoshi? Yep. This one right here!

In law a man is guilty when he violates the rights of others. In ethics he is guilty if he only thinks of doing so.

Once sat in the T'zai Byn sparring hall trying to cast spells with a ranger of mine. I was very new, and very young IRL.

I didn't know the skill command even existed at the time, nor the score skill. I had read the documentation for magic and for some reason thought everyone could be a sorcerer, if they just knew the right combination of spell words.

The spell words and the orders they should in theory go in were listed on the website. I thought I would be more clever than anyone ever, and try every possible combination. I used an excel list, calculated every possible combination, then started trying to cast....everything.

Twelve hours later I had gone through every possible combination. I could not figure out why I couldn't cast a spell.

I did not know the Wish command existed.

I wonder how many IMM's saw me doing that and just let me carry on for twelve hours straight laughing at me? Thanks guys. Jerks.

The young daughter has been filled.

Letting a name slip out from past playing and told abouts, then noting after done said it oh crap this guy wouldnt know that! and getting strange looks from others in the area.
Maybe wasnt the dumbest but awkward enough makes you feel like crap and hoping it just wash under the bridge.
My characters are mean not me!


>say rofl

ooc Fuck, I'm retarded, sorry.

Yeah thats what I wanted to do at the time. But trying to be smooth and suddenly point outside saying look a tregil and keep it icly as I could hoping everyone would look outside for forget I was even there or spoken.

We have all done it. And yes, it's embaressing.
I remember recruiting this Half elf girl. And IMMEDIATELY taking her out on a contract. Right as we go into this gith hole I tell her "Remember your training, and you'll be fine." and she goes "I have no training." Then she died

I feel dumb about something I almost do everything I have a new PC. I've come very close on several occasions to introducing myself as my last PCs name. One of these days I fear I'm going to be too tired to catch it.

I really, really, really shouldn't post my dumbassery in here.

At least I've yet to type rofl/lol in my says.

I have to have my new pc's name in my prompt. Even at three months played I sometimes type l oldpc. We can't be the only ones if there's a prompt option!

I recall one time I logged in drunk and thought it would be a great idea to drive a Kuraci wagon to Tuluk from Luir's to sell a couple bricks of spice. Now keep in mind:

1) I didn't have any outstanding spice orders
2) My character wasn't even supposed to be selling spice
3) I wasn't supposed to take the wagon out without PC support, which I didn't have
4) Due to some incident with somebody who worked for me killing some Chosen's pet, I wasn't really welcome in Tuluk right then anyway.

None of this seemed like a bad idea at the time. Luckily for me, I passed out at the keys about halfway up the road. My character apparently sat there in the wagon alone, unguarded, for about six hours, with full spice bricks in his inventory. Again, luckily, nobody decided to exploit my poor choices, so the next morning I drove back home and pretended it never happened.
