Breakfast Topic: Just a little fun

It must have just been two guys having a little fun for the night. Have you ever done or seen anything weird and fun like this in the game? Once, my gnome warrior was fishing off the wharf in Menethil, and I was bored, so I started /yelling a sea shanty, in verse, that I made up on the spot. It got complicated-- my woman left me, and my boat sank, etc. etc., and while quite a few people ignored me, a couple of people sent laughs, and hopefully they had a good time. Ever done anything weird like that, just to give people a strange experience?

THEYRE TAKING THE HOBBITS TO IRON FORGE. FORGE. FORGE. FORGE. THEYRE TAKING THE HOBBITS TO IRON FORGE.

At a point I created an alt, he was a bald, intense faced rogue named Belloc, who I immediately characterized as a loud and stupid Russian. I would have him say stuff like "AHH! I sneak good! Little wolfie never see Belloc coming! NYAHAHAHA!" in stealth while doing starting zone quests.
I even made him say odd stuff to NPCs and tried creating a back story about a former wife named Franchesca whom he names all his new knives after.
Also he specifically farmed leathers from bunnies.
Eventually some people sent whispers telling me to shut up and that no one cares, so the fun wore off a bit.
Ravenholt is a lame server for RP anyway...

This is what our guild (Awesome Lowbies, Dragonmaw EU) is all about. Glad to see tales of like-minded people on other servers too :)
Here in the UK there's a cheesy tv magician called Paul Daniels, and his assistant/wife is Debbie McGee. Me and a guildie have our undead mage alts - Paledaniels and Deadymcgee...

I got bored on my pally once, bought a tuxedo suit, made some macros, and started to patrol around Stormwind doing things like "/kneel , /me ties his shoes" and delivering suspect packages to shifty NPCs. A few lowbies followed me around from time to time, and I got one convinced that I was some sort of dynamic NPC. So I decided to give him a quest... root out and kill my evil twin. We travelled (slowly.. I was at walk speed to keep the illusion up) to Ironforge where, after even more exposition and backstory, I used a Savory Deviate Delight and turned myself into a ninja. Had this whole thing about trying to wrestle with my evil twin, at which point I came out of the deviate buff, DI'd the lowbie 'for his own protection' and died. I rezzed and told him, as the ninja, to level up until he would be capable of defeating me, a then-60 to his 30ish. I don't know what happened to the guy, but I hope I convinced him to level up. It was fun, and made me wish that NPCs really behaved like that. (PS- this wasn't even on an RP server)

Had one happen to a guildy recently. He was leveling an alt and turning in an Extraordinary Egg in Tanaris. For that An Extraordinary Egg quest. As soon as he did a 70 Tauren Shaman started dancing with him. That Shaman's name? Boblikeseggs. It was too good.

Once while hanging out just in front of the jail in Stormwind we couldn't help overhearing a crying woman. She apparrantly asked her love to marry her, but he said no. We talked with her, tried to calm her down, tried to soothe her, but all just got worse and suddenly she decided to put an end to it all - and jumped into the canal. Well, our warlock castet unending breath on her and we tried our best on psychology, but after approx. 2h it started to get boring. We finally left, but she was still there whining more than one hour later, when I walked by once more.

People keep telling me it's stupid to have an Auction House twink named "Conman" (fraudster, con artist, money-grabbing thief; in german anyway) ... but what can I say, the little gnome makes lots of money selling left-over mats (usually for fair prices) :-)
Apart from my alts' dumb names, some of the fun things I saw recently ...
. A lv 55 human in _Thunderbluff_ who kept spamming Alliance Trade chat "Please let me walk out of here, I just want to get out, please stop killing me" ... @Mannoroth EU
. Flying out of IF, I saw the text line "Refridgerator has defeated Doorknob in a duel" ... cracked me up. Erm, no, it's not an RP server :-)
(Though I found that there are 2 pages worth of chars named Kühlschrank ("fridge") on Armory ... wtf?)

The story above made me simle :)
A while ago I was trying to get a PUG together for some instance. We were almost complete, but lacking a healer. Eventually, after numerous tells in the LFG-channel, I got fed up with it and posted this message:
[4-LookingForGroup][Phehon]: OUCH! I'm hit! I need a healer (for )... Quick! Whisper me! Before it's too late... Oath of Hyppocrates calling... Uch...
got quite a few happy reactions to it, and even found a healer pretty quick after that ^^

True story - My alliance characters usually log out in one of the top bedrooms of the stormwind inn. One day as I ran up there, I was greeted by a naked human, flat on his back on the bed with /em sleep, with a similarly-clothed night elf female kneeling on top of him. The weirdest thing though was the male night elf hunter standing in the corner just... watching. Jeez, at least hang a tie on the door or something...

not in a while but this post has inspired me to do so.
John Aug 22nd 2007 9:16AM
i do like the whole "pretending to be an npc" thing....very funny!
mcclary Aug 22nd 2007 9:22AM
One of my mules is a gray haired blood elf, in a tuxedo named Regisphilbin. I /y "Who wants to be a millionaire?" and spam trade channel with "Is that your final answer?"
I will soon create my solo guild: Final Answer

I always had the idea of creating a gnome named Hobo and riding the rails (deeprun tram) with a campfire singing "Oh Susannah!" and whatever else hobo things I could think of. Never got around to it though. Might have to do that soon.

a friend of mine and myself like to, on occasion, strip our characters down from the waste up and walk around shattrath /flex spamming anyone we find just standing around, before long others join in from both factions, and we have 10+ Draenie, Dwarves, Humans, Gnomes,Night Elves, Bloodelves, Orcs, Tauren, Trolls, and Undead walking around shat shirtless congregating around unsuspecting lady folk and /flex ing

I once got bored and attempted to euthanise my kodo by drowning him in the green pool in UC. Yelling about how he was too sick to live... and his horrid gas.
Until a shaman came by and healed him/me.

When deleting an alt recently (38 dwarf hunter) I carefully packaged up all of my worldly posessions (lots of spare blues for twinking, greens from farming, etc.), found a noob hunter, asked him to meet me at the great forge, and gave him everything - including this note:
"You don't know me...
The world has not been kind to this old Dwarf - I've seen the invasion of demons, fought along side the armies of the Alliance against the Orcs, and now I find I cannot go on for this impending war in Outland. I have given my two sons to the Alliance and they were consumed by the fires of war before they could have sons of their own and my wife died to the Scourge oh so many years ago... I am the last of the Irontoe clan, and I am so very tired.
I give to you the last of my worldly posessions, suich as they are, in hopes you will make better use of them than I have. Don't let the Alliance convince you that there are enemies around every corner and only fight for what you know is right... The Alliance can be just as bad as the Horde when it comes to propaganda.
Signed in sound mind and body, Durrin Irontoe"
And then threw myself into the forge, logged out, and deleted the character. :)

When I first set up our casual guild and was looking for mid-level players, I wrote three or four guild ads as limericks, set them as macros and wandered the world rhyming. It got a lot of abuse, but at least the players who were interested in joining shared our sense of humour :)

When we formed our current guild, I lobbied hard to choose the name:
That way, when Alliance people get the quest to find the Master of Cheese, they will come to us.
While waiting for one of the boats to set sail, I habitually go up to the wheel and start yelling stuff like "Keelhaul the mizzenmast and hoist the anchor to the crow's nest!"
Heraclea Aug 22nd 2007 9:58AM
Oops. Those brackets break the message. What i wanted to call the guild was : Master of Cheese.
