I was talking to someone about a D&D campaign where the players become kings. I said "We need to rule the country with... a, ummm.. what's the opposite to iron fist?" I seriously didn't know the correct phrase, simply because I'm so accustomed to Allanak (Velvet glove, I was told).

Starting Point: Any
Focus: Care not from where the blood flows, so long as it flows.
Restrictions: If you cannot kill someone once a RL day, kill yourself.

EDIT: Tweaked to lessen the CCP cost while maintaing the crippling overspecialization.

I think I'd want to kill myself the moment I typed 'score', saw 'warrior/aggressor', and realized what I'd spent one of my scant three special-apps-per-year on!

My favorite was:

'commit every illegal act in spectacular fashion'

I tripped and Fale down my stairs. Drink milk and you'll grow Uaptal. I know this guy from the state of Tenneshi. This house will go up Borsail tomorrow. I gave my book to him Nenyuk it back again. I hired this guy golfing to Kadius around for a while.

Nice. :D

My favorite spectacular illegal act would be adultery.

Guild: unwitting 'gicker who manifests at least one month after chargen
Point: Allanak
Focus: Publicly masturbate in front of a templar and survive.

Maybe the sudden manifesting will help your dwarf survive to his or her next focus?

I thought of this focus the other day and couldn't stop laughing... I wonder how realizable it is.

Totally realizable. Just act like a newb who is unfamiliar with the code, use say instead of talk at the bar, write out your pronouns, put conversation into emotes, and refuse to capitalize or punctuate.

The Templar will probably let you live.

I'm not very creative.

Guild: Any

Focus: Find out the foci of other dwarves and complete them before they can. Then, destroy the product of the focus in front of them.

That's awesome.

I'd probably log in and hang out in the appropriate area if I knew someone really were trying to kill all the humans for real and wouldn't just give up at some point.

Approached correctly, this could be awesome.  A careful and thorough dwarf, after doing population studies of other animals in the wild, might realize that killing males does not impact reproduction rates, but that killing females does.

Because the real danger here is that the limit on human population is not their ability to have children, but their ability to feed, water, and protect them from outside dangers.  So killing a few humans does not change the human population.

Spoiling their resources and strengthening their enemies, however, does.

I know killing people is often part of the game but I try to never start a pc with killing others and ruining their fun in mind.
The sound of a thunderous explosion tears through the air and blasts waves of pressure ripple through the ground.

Looking northward, the rugged, stubble-bearded templar asks you, in sirihish:
     "Well... I think it worked...?"

That'll be my next pc. Made to intentionally ruin peoples good time by murder.

I had a PC turned down once because his focus was elven genocide.
The staffer thought it was too PK oriented out of the box.

They obviously lacked Morrolan's creativity. ;)

My fun is never ruined by a PC killing me. It breaks up the monotony to dying to NPCs, animals and the environment.

Agreed. All stories end eventually, it's more fun if there's some other story continuing by your death. Getting run over by a Carru doesn't enhance anyone's storyline.

Yes, I've had 20-30 characters, and one death from a PC (it made me feel so happy  ;D)
