Title: What's the stupidest thing you've done as a newbie to EfU/EfU:A?
Post by: Lulzebub on October 24, 2009, 04:44:01 PM
We need to lighten up a bit, so here's a potentially fun thread. Post the stupidest things you yourself have done as a newbie to EfU or EfU:A. I'll get it started.

One of my very first characters here went around emoting that he'd painted up his shield to look like a beholder's eye. I just thought I was sporting some really awesome Underdark-themed war paint. I didn't understand why everyone was being such a jerk to me until I got busted for being a thrall, and someone finally explained to me that making yourself up to look like a beholder isn't stylish in Sanctuary.

Accidently tried using my FR knowledge that's not of the right time/known as a arguement, which was discarded, fortunetly, as a misunderstanding OOCly.

Oh, I remembered another one. I had a Lathanderite cleric who kept getting his DM loot taken by others. After this happened about three times, Howland gets frustrated and made a special @area just for me to stumble upon and loot.

Thinking that I'm supposed to always "include others," I run back to Sanctuary, gather up about 10 PCs and go raid the hole. Needless to say, I got none of the nice loot inside, pretty much all of which was obviously only useful to a Lathanderite cleric. I think Howland finally just walked an NPC up to me and gave me some loot, or one of the other looters felt sorry for me and gave me the armor, I can't remember which. But whatever the case, if someone hadn't put that plate mail in my hands directly, I would have never even seen it.

Got into an argument during quiet hours with an NPC mercenary without scripted conversation, threatening to kill him. Attacked him without notifying the DM's or even understanding that should be done, and then fled through the entirety of lower with a vengeful gang member on my tail.

I decided I'd wrestle cave bears without bothering to heal between fights and I was rewarded with a 45 damage crit through invisibility.

So like I made a sending after I was being hunted by a uber powerful undead with a scythe and so was looking for blur. I quickly went to get my lasgana and came back to find I was beat down by a Bone golem and then I managed to get up and move back a bit and some NPC sharb was pwning it so I was like w/e I don't need to buff and heal so all I did was down a blur potion and attacked it and got beat down with 10+ haste potions and 30 cure crit potions and died.

fucking veterans >_> <_<

Stumbling into the Lower sewers, encounter Zau in the middle of fighting some Spellguard associates, and then being chased around the sewers by him until I finally managed to find my way back to the lift back up. And then writing a letter of complaint to the Spellguard about the whole affair. <_<

Well. How would I say it.

Charging into vampires tomb, ignoring superiors orders as a watchman.

Not once, but around.. half dozen times. Fools luck, that's what they call it, I think.

Thought good gear was better than consumables. Lost first mildly-powerful character because of that, in  a duel to death. unprepared of course.
Some other really stupid things that caused a few bans that are not worth mentioning...

Went invis, and tried to sneak past a lizardfolk assassin. Didn't realize, however, how the Invisibility rules on the server worked, and threw a total tard-tantrum when I got ganked. Really silly.

I didn't reset my spawn point to Pissing Crone or Chudax's camp after starting in the UD as a kobold.  Was pretty surprised and, shortly, pretty dead when I logged back in after a reset.

I once stole some drow's things as HECTOR STEELBLADE, then ended up getting threatened by some halfing scum so I made a sad face and gave it all back. Later on that day, I logged off out of embarrassment after being killed by UMBER HULKS.

I logged in my first character, an elven archer, couldn't afford a bow directly and figured I'd not waste my precious gold on anything else before I can afford it. I find another pc who has something as amazing as a cloak and matching outfit, which means he must be rich, awesome and all that. He asked me to join him on Hobgoblin Brewery, and suffice to say, we both died to the first spawn there. The character lasted a total of 45 minutes.

Since then, I've proceeded to make non-combat, sly, plotting halfling rogues with 8 wis, 19 dex and weapon finesse, a chaotic neutral hoarran for the harbingers, using a katana and taking finesse as well as not being able to use faction uniform due to prereqs.

I'm torn between voting Ferius "Recommended Button" Worn or FRICKEN GLITCHEN for stupidest thing so far mentioned in this thread, though.

Wasn't it TRB or someone who got the hot-tub from Worn's office removed? That has to be like single one stupidest thing ever done. Not like he was new at the time or anything.

After months of working on this plot, Tarnis finally breaches the Dunwarren Armory and invites a friend of his hated enemies (the Spellguard) along who then steals all the animatron parts right out from underneath his nose in a bag of holding.
