The Worst Thing You Have Done in this Hobby Thread
-
I once made a character on Shang to see as a bet if someone could get banned from the game. This was years ago. In fact, someone here once posted about that character years after the fact and I was like o.O and thought about confessing the bit as me.
This character was vile. He'd go around in public and was a nazi. He had a dog named Shitler. I did god awful things and didn't get a single warning to a few astonished surprised peers, no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get banned.
In this process I was vile and people were forced to be around it in public and I feel bad years later. At the time I didn't see that for sure.
I did get someone from staff TSing with me though because they found it attractive. That's when I quit... guess you can't get a banhammer there.
...
Pretty much every one of my characters and interactions for the first five years in the hobby. #2.
So what's the worst thing you've done in your character history?
-
This isn't hobby related but I feel like kind of a monster because of it. I wanted a sweet delicious treat and decided to try the vanilla frosty from Wendy's instead of the normal, righteous frosty. People should pray for me for making such a decision.
As for the worst thing I've done in this hobby? Trusting someone I shouldn't have.
-
@rucket omg I also made a poor Wendy's decision just today.

Is it as poor as a vanilla frosty?
ALSO YOU KNOW WHAT ANGERS ME WENDY'S?
Your breakfast potato wedge things are goddamn DELICIOUS and your normal fries are ASS. WHY CAN I NOT GET THE POTATO WEDGES ALL DAY
-
@rucket I got there ten minutes after breakfast ended and I got their frostaccino thing and no food. Absolutely sugar bombed myself, had NO potato wedges, and made myself queasy.

Ooof, yeah I don't think I could ever do just a shake or frosty by itself, I definitely need something to go with it. So I definitely feel your pain

closed the sabbat on due rewards WHILE THERE WERE STILL ACTIVE PLAYERS
also, PK'd a PC with my PC via telenuke while I was staff of a sphere because I couldn't get rid of her as staff. I think that one was Denver.
Also, I didn't get rid of the clique that shall not be named on Ashes until it was far, far, far, far too late. And: I participated in PillowFort.

But also I think most people have probably made mistakes about who to trust. We are all humans.
I think the worst thing I ever did on a game was fall prey to the OOC echo chamber about the IC around someone who was a friend and ICly commit to betraying her character without warning. I ended up apologizing OOC for it a few months later, and we talked it out and all was ultimately forgiven (I think, I hope), but at the time I really upset someone who didn't deserve it and torched an IC relationship at the same time. At the time I was so wound up I literally made myself sick over it. I remember running to the bathroom to vomit mid scene but I was too dumb at the time to realize I was so anxious because what I subconsciously knew how uncool I was being. This was 2007 or so I think. 2006? Linear time is confusing.
Anyways. I've never set out to be awful on purpose, I don't have the troll impulse and don't really understand it.
-
Started playing in it instead of learning to play the guitar or something.
More seriously, a few months of bad decisions cheered on by being much too online and abusing prescription drugs, that I still feel looming over me, years later.

@sunny You done some heavy crap!
-
Trying to encourage someone to protect themselves, not blame themselves, and get out of a bad situation, but saying something that was easily taken to be "Did you say no?"
It is easier for me to accept that I've blundered and damaged a relationship I have. This was someone who really needed support, IMO.
-
@reversed I feel you here. Same same for a time.

Yeah, it's why I say that most everything in this hobby, you can come back from. If I can be reformed, I'm pretty sure most folks that aren't actively, intentionally malicious could be.

Remember when PillowFort ran me out of Denver by going to the owner?
Yeah, good times.

No, I actually don't. I don't even remember who the owner was any more. I do remember fairly shortly into the Denver stint is when I had my first round of PF blowups, but I don't know if that was or wasn't connected to you. I was in the midst of being a survivor during that time period, so a LOT a lot is completely gone from my brain. I stopped looking at logs a couple of years ago to quit torturing myself with memories that didn't serve me any purpose.
-
I blew up a building because I was OOCly bored that it was the primary IC hangout for most people. I specifically waited until it was empty of people, as I didn't want to kill any characters.

Inquiring minds want to know:
What is PillowFort?
I vaguely recall making a character on Denver and then forgetting my password before ever playing with them and just never returning. (I have issues.)

For some people, it seems like it should be obvious right around now.
What the actual fuck lol
