I thought of this thread because of my friend.

In an online RPG, he let a guy into our alliance.
This is okay, except we didn;t know the guy at all.
But that's okay, because we thought that my friend had talked to him, and gotten to know and trust him a bit.

But just today, I asked him about it.... Nope, my friend has never talked to him.
Now we have a stranger in our alliance, who can see what we're doing, when we're online, where we are, who we're attacking, when we're defenceless and what we're upgrading - and for all we know, he could be a spy from another alliance.

When one alliance sends a spy to another alliance, the victim is always kileld withing a few months.

The end result, is hopfully going to be - our alliance disbands, and me and my friends create a new one under new names and all.
I will be the leader of this one - so it doesn't happen again.

Good job to my friend, for letting a complete stranger see all of our info. tongue.gif

So, what are your stories about dumb things you've done on games?

well, i didnt do it but a guy i was playing with in some online RPG, we were playing on a roleplaying server and i ran up to him and typed *steals armor* and ran away. I saw him about a month later with no armor on still and yelled at me "give me my stuff back!" now that my friends, is hardcore roleplaying

Recently, I was playing Onimusha 4. I was about 20 hours into the game, and farther than I have ever been before (it's a VERY long game). My friend comes over, because I found the cheat to let us play co-op mode. So we start a new game with co-op on. I save the beginning of the game....OVER my other file. I was so unbelievably pissed. It took me a long time to get that far. I tried to jump off my bed to turn off the PS2 before I could finish saving, but I was too slow. I won't be playing Onimusha 4 for a long time.

In Unreal Tournament I used to use the laser gun to burn the word "POOP!" into the wall or floor so that random people would see it.

Race ahead in the cute game Kingdom Hearts instead of sticking with the storyline flow, and cheerfully entering the battle arena area to fight some cute monsters but instead seeing this strange ball form with an ominous symbol on it while the song One Winged Angel began to play.

I could only laugh. grin2.gif

Saved a game file on San Andreas. I was soo mad because I was so far, that I haven't play the game since. Now I don't have a PS2, but after deleting the file about a year or so ago, I could never get into the mood of playing the game over again.

I betrayed the wrong people in WoW.

I was playing World of Warcraft. I was feeling evil that day, so I grabbed a group and we decided to do some quests. One quest, I don't remeber, had us going into a castle. Now, I was Allience. I had six friends from Horde in that castle. Now my group was like four high-level paladins.

That plan was that I lead them to my orc friends, who kill them and get the kills. However, they saw my friends, and they did battle. It was a server where you could attack anyone. I forget. So, I attack the weakest paladin. Soon however, they finish off my friends. I start running, but they follow me, and beat the sh** out of me.

Moral: Pick weak people for that.

think the dumbest thing I've done was in EQ

if I remember this right:

took the boat from West Freeport to Ocean of Tears. As I zoned into Ocean of Tears, I decided to try and fish off the boat. As I was inching up to the side of the boat, I fell off.

Ocean of Tears is a Large zone, mostly water. And I couldn't swim that well yet.

So after Ages and Ages of swimming, hoping nothing would spot me (think I was only lvl 20 or something) I finally swim myself to the island that's the 1st stop for the boat. Thing about this stop is people would sometimes bring (called training) giants or cyclops, I forget which, to the port. So I climb up shore and run to the docks and promptly get my little dwarven head smashed in.

If falling off the boat and wasting an hour or so wasn't bad enough, I get back on the boat after returning to my bind point, naked... but this time I don't try and fish. No. I'm going to get my corpse and all my gear back. No... I let the boat take me to the port, where I get smashed in Again.

Do I learn my lesson? Of course not. It took another killing before I decided to get a higher lvl to kill off the giant so I could recover my body.

Think that's the stupidest... although the fall down Velketor's Labyrinth and the time I was tanking from a firepot in Skyshrine come pretty close....

Playing Counter Strike on De_Dust i decided to follow a bunch of guys exploiting a glitch in the game where using a seriers of jumps you can walk on the sky, it was called "sky walking" and little did i know that this was a bannable offence......its been 6 years or more......

And the sharks can nip at the toes, low enough level and that hurts!! At least back in the day anyway...

In everquest players often keep bags of different types of weapons - each one usually very valuable to the player having been looted from a difficult mob, farmed from a long and boring camp, or bought with hard earned platinum. I've had two close friends give bags of these weapons to magician pets.. never to be seen again blink.gif

Their horror has kept me from making the same mistake.

CS - My boyfriend wanted to teatch me how to play and I was on his account and I accidently killed his team-members >.<

I've also forgot to save and then be having to start all over again of course

well I was in party on final fantasy 11, and there was this one guy who thought he knew it all. In fact he was a complete newby and knew nothing, but was trying to act all knowing (he also came from WoW. I'm betting he was one of the twits that got a bad rep on it or something) anyway, I'm talking to my linkshell about what he's doing and we were all having a good laugh at what he was telling us to do. when out of the blue he decides to try and attack my methods and why I was a blm (black mage) when war (warrior) is a "betta clas thn tht lawlrolf u nub".
So i'm beating his ass through knowledge when all of a suddan he threatens to leave, when the whole party then turn on me. I guess its because he was our main tank and if he left we'd be helpless if we were attacked. So I'm complaining to my Linkshell at this unfairity, when I suddenly realize I've been talking to my party instead. to talk to your party you have to type /p before you talk, for your linkshell its /l ...well they weren't to happy about me saying things like - this is by far the worst party i've ever been in, and that the leader had no idea what he was doing listening to the war. He kicked me out of the party after that... luckily for me, I got to stand by while waiting for another party, to watch and see them die from attacking a goblin (the wars idea laugh.gif )

after they died the war /tell'd me - a privite message - and asked me to re-join the party xD all I can say is that I had fun shouting at him. I was in another party by then, which decided to invite who else, but that war...

I didn't get to raise my lvl that night, but I'm glad I didnt stay in that party.

In oblivion, i once killed like 8 guards over a 5 gold fine which at the time i couldnt pay off b/c i had just bought 3 houses grin2.gif

I was trying to complete Resident Evil 2 without saving the game, I got right to the last boss before I realized I had very little life and no herbs on me. Needless to say I died.

While starting a new game of Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance I accidentally saved over my previous game in which I had a really powerfull character and all the best equipment.

The dumbest thing I've done has to be when I wasted a week of my life playing Runescape...enough said.

I never heard of this game. What is it about and if you play as Predator, you can use all his signature moves and weapons?

You can be a Predator, Alien or human and you run around killing each other. In the game you can also play a singler player missions.

My party trick is beer and playstation at 2am.
I cant count how many times on gt3 I was doing an endurance race, could remember upto lap 90x/100 then wake up dead last and like 40min into a lap. Not funny after 2hours driving.

Got through the demo barriers on Saints Row. It took about hmm 20 mins and then as soon as I crossed the game glitched up and restarted.

In Runscape, I gave away at least 10 party hats when they were really cheap (10,000-50,000). Now they're the most expensive items in the game (160-490 million) and I'm dirt poor. no.gif

I riled my enemies in Dig Dug by habitually inflating without bursting them. Also, in Pong I moved my rectangular bumper up when the ball-like square was careening downward.

Oooh... tough break.


I've done plenty of things I regret. I got to the final of a Halo 2 Xbox Live final, only to be disqualified, 5 minutes in, for trash-talking. Mind you, I trash talk anyone, for any reason, and I'm not going to stop. Let me tell you though, I didn't even know they could ban you from chatting, and mute you so no-one else hears, but it's really annoying!

Dumbest thing on starcraft:


Playing against a friend on starcraft. check thumbsup.gif

Spending a good hour or two collecting resources while defending my base. check thumbsup.gif

creating many many MANY ARCHONS a powerful unit for the protoss.check thumbsup.gif

user posted image


Giggling like a lunatic with a glazed look in my eye's as i march my ultimate army of death dealing destruction archons over to my mates base. check thumbsup.gif

Getting to my mates base to find a few of these science vessels waiting. (WHHAATTT!!!???)

user posted image

with a scream of horror my mighty death dealing army of destruction has emp weapons shot at them from the science vessels. (NOOOOOOOOooooooooo!!! ohmy.gif )

I try to flee since emp weapons are a archons greatest threat since it reduces the archons shields to nothing in one go, leaving my mighty death dealing army of destruction to be wiped out by the weakest of enemy units. ( SOBS crying.gif why....why.....WHHHYYYYYY!!!!??)


i lose the game and shout a curse at my monitor vowing never to play starcraft again....only to play again lol laugh.gif

Ahh no way lol. My brother did that and now I see them on ebay for 500 pound.

Hmm..team killing on Soldier of Fortune 2..I'd sneak up behind my teamates and kill them with the back end of my gun and pretend it was by accident. Then when they'd get pissed off and t ry to come after me I'd hide in some spot and shoot off grenades until they'd ban me.

In Star Wars Galaxies I'd sometimes come home trashed and log on and go into the cantina to annoy the entertainers in there by typing /lol which (if you do it fast enough) makes it look like a sexual gesture thus annoying the people and having them report you..

Goods times!

Oh, and spawning disabled AV-21's and Speeder bikes during duels..keep calling them out so they appear. Everytime they appear they make a loud exploding noise and if you do it fast enough you lag out the people's duels, LOL! I used to do that if a friend had a bounty hunter after him.
