PC with a

accentmine too! and they gave me a gold dragon for this nonsense
You say âNo. I was never taught tâmend or anything.â If she had been taught, she wouldnât be stabbing herself every other stitch and there might be some semblance of order to the crooked line edging its way down her fabric. âAnâI donât âmember askinâ /you/ tâhelp me any.â

While the original Ekkarâs face goes blank, itâs quickly replaced by a wriggling âspecterâ of blind fury that shouts a number of quite audible curses that become fainter as the form gradually vanishes but not without mindlessly shouting âWait till you see what Iâm capable of!â as it recedes into the background.
(Dragonâs Fang MUD, October 26,1999)My descriptions were AMAZING. For a bit of context, this was a, iirc, Telâaranârhiod-based scene. Something that @Roadspike misses and wishes he could do more of.

Wow, Pastebin. Just. Wow.
So I guess I lied and I found a few old logs from my first ever hardcore permadeath RP PC.
Including my first ever permadeath. Augh.
Fuck me, Iâm actually crying over this shit all over again.
So, in the interest of âbaby pictures of arrpeez,â this is my first roleplayed death.
Audreyâs Death is the whole thing, for the masochists out there, assuming the link works. The first 7/8 is a shitty fight (I was always so bad at Haven-fighting, itâs fucking hilarious, @Kestrel has BEEN THERE WATCHING HOW BAD I AM BEFORE and this one is even worse) and the last eighth is just⊠melodrama gold, IMO.
Enjoy, or laugh, or cry, or mock, or whatever makes you feel good. Iâm happy because I finally HAVE A THING TO SHARE IN A THREAD THATâS NOT A GIF!

I donât have any of my really bad stuff since I appear to have lost every log before 2009 in my own files, and I was a decade into this thing by this point, but this is from my oldest one and itâs pretty bad just for the meta alone. I like to think Iâm more graceful these days.
Bell pads past Drusus and Sasha. She almost pipes a hello to them. Almost. But, something about the way theyâre interacting makes her keep flopping by. Leaving them to themselves. A little smile coming to her face. Aw. Boys are cute.

Thatâs it. Thatâs the entire pose. My primary early RP sin was being super boring.
I see your boring and raise:
Cally glances up as Abagail hovers nearby and orders some tea.
Yes, I was a serial tea-sipper, unable to properly socialize in group scenes or whenever there wasnât some kind of action involved.
And the less said of some of my early plots, the better. Cringe.

Unfortunately, Iâll have to rely on @Solstice for any actual (edit: EARLY, I have many terrible) terrible poses from me, as, unless theyâre buried very deep, I lost my Redwall logs a long, long time ago.
I did find what I think was the very first Shard scene on Arx, in which she literally talks to no one, utters three words in total (to an NPC server), and then leaves. A promising start.

Oh hey, you want a pose from my very first character on a MU* after MUDs? When I was playing Kitty Pryde? When I didnât quite understand to pose in present tense, not past? Ok.
Standing up as well, Kitty moves to behind the desk, catching Jean into a hug. âThank you. I better go pack and tell Piotr I am leaving. I wonât tell him too much, of course.â She walked out of the room calmly, though she didnât feel that way at all. With an absentminded phase through Jeanâs door, she felt a flutter of apprehension. Better go read whatâs on that drive.

I cannot post my oldest logsâŠ
-
My oldest log is an actual journal where I transcribed an entire IRC windowâs worth of RP one night.
I was 15. It was bad. Poses ended with smilie or winkie faces. I canât even post the character names because Iâm pretty sure the guy who ran the channel still googles himself constantly. I also swear they wrote Elf Only Inn about him.
-
@DrQuinn i want a picture of this, so bad. i got five bucks if we can make this happen.
-
-
I refuse to even look, because I need to fall asleep tonight.
I do remember that I couldnât figure out the : command for a while so I only used say, but sometimes I wanted to include actions so Iâd start by saying something and then do action and then end by saying something, so the quotation marks at least sort of made sense.
This was after I got off raw telnet, where I would disconnect and reconnect every time I made a typo.

The link doesnât work. I demand justice!
Or I would, except I totally forgot about the combat scene we were in together that just wouldnât end, and now Iâm appeased because lol at the memory.
@Solstice said in Challenge: Post Your Worst Pose From Your Oldest Log:
The entire log!? This is bold. Were the smiles and smirks poses, or were they coded reactions? Either way, golden.
Those are (almost) all canned emotes. You type âsmileâ, âgrinâ or âcryâ and it spits out a preset sentence for you. Theyâre like roleplay emojis.
I did eventually learn to emote, but that was very obviously a mistake:
You have emoted: Lilah is unarmed, where Caes has his sabre and mining pick in close reach, but that doesnât stop her. Her gaze fixes on his intently for a beat of silent stillness, too, before her hand snakes out towards his throat abruptly with the force of a striking viper, attempting to grab the scruff of his leather tunic. Her form has strength despite its wiry physique, and she uses it to its fullest with surgical expertise, angling each muscle so that it aligns with the greatest push. Sidestepping around him, she attempts to bend his back over the altar and lean over him, her face a hairâs width from his.
Here, @eye8urcake; I hope this makes you feel better about your combat RP. I think that by then you at least knew enough cool words that you didnât think stringing as many of them together as possible would impress anyone else.

@Kestrel P sure all I do until the awesomely melodramatic actually SECOND death of the PC (she died at the Envy party like three days earlier to take another PCâs vampirism via a âwhoever pukes first losesâ wine-drinking contest and was a Temple vampire, lulz) is twitch and shit, because I was too fucking tired from all the endgame nonsense to even function at that point.
Apparently Microsoft buying Pastebin made all my shit âoffensiveâ and it canât be publicâd so if youâre actually interested, here. Die, Die, Die My Audrey
ETA: Honestly, I lovehate that those logs turned up. Thereâs some phenomenal RP by other people in these that really hit me in the metaphorical nostalgia balls. @WhiteRaven, @Selira, Emda, Snowscoran, Petal, Kirshbia, Salvation (hiss, but still), pof Buffy 3.0, pof Caitlin 2.0 (references for @Kestrel or Haven). I honestly canât even name them all.
Then I come back three days later as a ghost to be just as fucking ridiculous⊠Morse code by slamming doors, anyone? How about flowers twisted into letters by unseen beings?
My hobby isnât necessarily RP, itâs forcing myself to RP so I can see everybody else thatâs good at RPâs cool RPS.
ETA: OMG HERE, I FOUND AN IRE (AETOLIA) LOG OF ME BEING A CHILD UNDEAD BEFORE I REALIZED HOW MUCH PEOPLE HATE THEM OR, EVEN WORSE, âLIKEâ THEM⊠Cala Meets Zun.
The rest of this shit gets the torch.

I spent ten minutes of my life finding an x-men verse LiveJournal, saw that I attached an Avril Lavigne song to a log, and noped tf out.

I played in AoL RP chat rooms. They no longer exist for which I forever thankful. I played a character that was probably a self insert based on Legend of Dragoon that was obviously the Thunder Dragoon and Divine Dragoon. At the same time. Because of course. Also claimed the Dragon Buster swords.
OC character do not steal.
My god I was so cringe.

In looking through logs to try to find @Kalakh things to cringe about, I forgot to factor in that I am also in these logs because they are my logs.
Mission failed successfully!
Not only did I find a log of me RPing and metaposing with myself in a scene full of people not acknowledging me (oh god save me), but I was stealing quotes left and right from whatever video game I was playing at the time.
I seemed to have been playing Zone of the Enders at the time, because I was quoting the character of âViolaâ in that game repeatedly, and my â@doingâ (For all intents and purposes, the âQuoteâ field for Redwall MUCK characters) was the characterâs penultimate quote:
âWill you answer one stupid question? ⊠was I strong?â
Just⊠that. As my advertisement for who my character was. Pain.

I donât save many of my logs, so I thought this would be a foolâs errand. What I do remember is that teenage Jumpy wanted to be liked, so she figured that smiling would be a great way to be likeable. But not just any smile, these were grins. There were grins and nods and grins and says and so much grinning that I canât imagine anyone thinking I was anything short of creepy as hell.
Anyway, I went looking for logs and I found something better, myself GMing in an AOL chat room for some of my friends. I gave it a quick scroll-through and summarily died of laughter when I saw this line describing a hallway in a castle.
A 6-foot by 6-foot square of odd glowing darkness sending bad energy vibes and brain pain seems to be what the guards are guarding. Thereâs a locked door further down the hall.
Iâm sorry, what?
