One time I accidentally modeled a famous sword and had to request like “can you unmodel this??? i’m so sorry!” so that it didn’t forever have a yellow line of text announcing that Eleanor has bad modeling stats.

“I guess that centuries old, most famous sword ever looks OKAY on you…”

@Roz Berenice would absolutely do this.

I was about to say “Berenice can’t even lift a sword” before I realized you meant “Berenice would say bitchy shit to someone.”

But not to Eleanor. You don’t randomly insult the Crown Voice when you’ve got high Diplomacy.

@Roz That’s fair.

I was given another character’s item because my char was cold. Then I found it in my stuff and was horrified I still had it. Then I found out I accidentally model’ed it.

I still feel the shame.

Orgstancing on the wrong proclamation.

Oh Arx. One time I revealed my character’s secret affiliations to just about literally the worst possible character I could have on the game. Earned a RL spit-take! Like without exaggeration it was just disastrous and the consequences could have been hilariously severe if the other player had been a bit more motivated to pursue them, but I think they kinda pitied my goofy ass. I still chuckle in shame when I think about it.

@Roz I just want you to know that if you ever leave your child object lying around and I am there? Preston is getting a Templar recruit. Or the Late Knights.

You’ve been warned. teasip

My #1 actual most embarrassing thing is making a joke on a channel that falls flat and not only does nobody laugh, but everybody goes quiet until long enough has passed that somebody else can start a new conversation.

And then I don’t know if they didn’t know I was joking or if it was just that bad.

@IoleRae I feel this all the time.

@IoleRae I feel this in my soul

@IoleRae Every time I make a joke. Or realize that not everyone picks up on sarcasm or excitement the same way.

Every. Time.

Am I a narcissist if I just assumed that everyone was laughing too much or too in awe of my joke to respond???

And then because they couldn’t follow up, they ended up starting a new conversation.

@Meg

No, but only because you really are that funny.

This is how I will approach every socially awkward situation. I’m just too amazing for anyone to voluntarily speak first after me.
