One of my characters, who is a fairly sweet and innocent female of a fairy-type race, was in a silly mood. I decided to have her sit on a certain type of egg in her inventory.

So I typed in "sit on," followed by the first four letters of this specific item. And only those first four letters came up when I executed the command.

It was a cockatrice egg.

You get the idea. ...

My post embarrassing moment... I play in a sci-fi setting mind you.

There was a costume party between me and a few friends the day before inside a starship. The day after I logged in and started walking around the concordance space station headed for a cafe. Then someone commented on my costume as I passed by customs.

I was dressed all in black, a stuffed cat on my shoulder, a broom on my back, and a big black hat on top.

Witch In Space!!!!! (Say it with an echo please)

I was RP'ing with a player who's like a companion of mine, when I said "Hold on, I'll be back in a sex." I meant to say sec, but the person I was RP'ing knew it was a typo, but continued to RP off it by calling me stuff, calling me a prevert and stuff like that. I was embrassed at the time, but now, it's just funny.

I was playing a very prim and proper character who would blush at the mildest profanity/vulgarity. In the game I was playing there was a command "assess teaching" to see what classes were being taught in the room. She walked into a room with close to 20 people in it and said "ass tea" rather than assessing. For weeks after that she was constantly being asked if she had any of her special tea.

My worst? I made a character named Niku (no I did not know at the time that the word means Meat in some Asian language), but anyway....I was RPing with something in her inventory which happened to be her staff. I was in combat and was about to use it to knock someone down...instead here is what comes out....

Niku smiles maliciously as she rubs her shaft up and down, before swinging it at your shins!

Help me! I was attacking a male....I am female. That is dirty and wrong. The male of course laughs instead of being frightened of my staff. Damn not having sleep! Shaft/staff. Come on they are close words.

Funny how all the embarrassing moments are sex related...

The incident below is an old story, I just witnessed it, but when it happened I almost fell off my chair laughing, mainly because I disliked the people involved immensely. Yeah, yeah, I know, petty and nasty, but that's human nature...

It was in the first Mud I played, which was supposed to be a 'Family environment', so you would get muted even for uttering the four letter word for urine on open channels. However, the female Head Imp didn't exactly follow her own rules. She was in the habit of having mud sex in her quarters, and also had the rather bad habit of promoting her latest virtual lover to immortal, regardless of his other qualifications - (which usually were nonexistant).

So there she was, in bed with her latest pet. And the young man, being somewhat overawed with the occasion and also a Newbie, both to mudding in general and imming in particular, got his channels mixed up. So instead of emoting his 'Grande Finale' he accidentally broadcasted over the global echo channel. And believe me, he was both eloquent and very outspoken about it.

And I thought we men were the only ones sick and desperate enough to actually accept/use sexual favours in return for services/money/loyalty. What is this world coming to!? :'(

[marrok]

This just happened to me moments ago....

My male elf character was with his young female apprentice trying to mine coal.  After several minutes of obvious problems she says, "do you mine often"?

I responded, "No, I normally just bed a dwarf to do it for me".

Obviously I meant to say, 'beg' not 'bed'.

[dasy2k1]

i once sent a sweet goodnight message to my IG GF but mistyped tell as yell, somthing to do with t and y being next to each other!

result everyone for three rooms around knows what i was about to say to her

[prof1515]

The classic example I recall hearing about involved an emote that left out a single letter.

They meant to type:

emote peers down the bar.

This would have given everyone in the room the following echo:

The green-eyed man peers down the bar.

However, leaving out a single letter, they ended up emoting this:

The green-eyed man pees down the bar.

[Aerick]

I remember a time when I first started playing Muds...and I was totally new to roleplaying at the time. My first character on any Mud was always a warrior, usually human or ogre (if the mud had an ogre). I was playing against an elf in a duel...and he started powergaming with his wonderful emotes and the like.

OK.

I can deal with that.

I went afk.

I come back, and read my scroll history. He killed himself when I didn't respond.

Poor elfie.

I made it up to him though.

I killed myself when I stopped a dragon from devouring a tavern wench.

Dang summoned critters.

More an OOC moment than an RP one, from over four years ago on a MUSH with a number of channels.

On the Public channel, one of the players was ranting about getting one of those assemble-it-yourself shelves from Walmart and having it be impossible to put together. Several of us where there and in the (private) local staff channel at the time, and we only really started listening when this person emoted in Public, "[UnhappyPlayer] grumbles and just wasted 7 hours screwing."

There was no way to recover from the ensuing train wreck, especially when things were happening like this:

<Public> [Unhappy] ohs she means screw as in screwing in a screw not as in swearing :) <Public> [SmartyStaffer] says, "what about other potential uses of the word?" <Public> [Unhappy] sorries not meant to swear unintentionally :P <Public> [NicePlayer] figured and was referring to the quality of said screws ;) <Public> [Unhappy] hrms... goes ask her Bro [what the word means, apparently]. <LocalStaff> [jackal59mo] says, "I'm in pain." <LocalStaff> [SmartyStaffer] says, "my screws are of the best quality." <LocalStaff> [jackal59mo] says, "[Smarty], please, *shut up*." <Public> [SmartyStaffer] says, "you really shouldn't waste money on bad screws." <LocalStaff> [ThirdStaffer] DIES.

and so on. It only lasted about two minutes, but I was crying by the end of it.

[Telelion]

When I first started MUDding, I used the telnet client (I know!), which doesn't let you see text as you are typing it. Once, I was with a group and a character I had IC reason not to like wanted to join in. He appeared when I was about to say something, so I deleted it to warn the group about him. What came out was:

Telelion says 'gtell\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\I don't trust him.'

[Newworlds]

I don't know if anyone else has had this happen to them, but years ago I was playing and had been playing all night till about 5am. I was out with a group in a cave and somehow completely fell asleep as I was saying something. I woke up about 30 minutes later to a long long say that looked something like this:

Jonathan vocals outloud, ";asdfjjjjsdaaafffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffssssa;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;llllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllllllllllla"

But spammed about 10 pages. The other people with me nearly killed me to shut me up.

[Blay]

This happened maybe a couple weeks ago. My char was all excited to be defending her ig city. Raiders were in the city and we found one. In this mud, it's generally a very useful thing, for pk, to spam attacks and chase balance. I had recently targeted an ally in order to boost one of his skills. Having forgotten to change the target, I began spam-attacking my char's city mate. In all the spam, I missed numerous people telling me to stop, etc. Finally, I slowed down and realized what I was doing. Needless to say, it was slightly humiliating especially considering the fact that I hit the guy so many times, he ended up threatening my char.

[Sasca]

Typos happen a lot to me, I think, because I generally stay up far too late and before I know it, I might as well use sausages to type instead of fingers. My favourites have been adding spurious letters in to emotes, so instead of 'em sits quietly on the edge of the bed.', I get 'Sasca s*its quietly on the edge of the bed.' The worst, most cringe-worthy moment, tho', was whilst attending a meeting with a very high-level Ranger when I was trying very hard to join the Ranger's Guild after weeks of work. I was really intimidated and flattered by being asked to this meeting; there were a lot of important people there. The Ranger Lord starts talking about the role of Rangers in the lands, and I'm daring not to emote anything but the occasion nod to show I'm listening. He gets to a crucial part of his speech, at which point I try to 'nod' and end up typing something else, with the result of:
Rangerfellow says ''The Rangers of Blahdeblah work dutifully towards maintaining the Balance of Nature and Civilization..'
Sasca yells, 'NOT!'

...it was awful. A room full of people turned to stare at me, and all I could do was clear my throat and nod firmly in agreement. To this day, I still cringe when I think about it!

LOL. That is classic and I've seen that happen alot when someone typos or mistakes an emote. Classic.

You know, that reminds me of an incident that I indirectly caused on one of our games. I was chatting with a player about some bug they'd found (I think. This was years ago), and he was talking to me by typing out the full sentences and letting me snoop his reply. We were discussing it in the middle of a pretty huge wedding, and while the wedding was going on around his character, he typed a reply to me that was something like "not yet" at a reply to one of my questions.

He ended up shouting NOT! while the cleric was talking about how the couple would be blessed with love and happiness. I couldn't help but have a guilty laugh over that one.

I was crying after reading this sounds like one of my rp sessions at 4 am when we strt losing it. Thanks for making me laugh.

I play a game called Genesis and sometimes if your within a apprenticeship you hop on another character to pass a bit of time as your skills normally are quite weaker. After playing a bit of log in and out I somehow forgot which character I was on. Bare in mind that I have been trying to get into this guild for quite some time and made a good name for myself.

In the end my Priest who was quite proper with a quick witted tongue ended up acting like my Red Dragonarmy Goblin and telling one of the High Priests "Oi! Uz wanna kiwl sum niggetz en da prains?" (Hey, you want to kill some Knights on the plains?) He found it rather amusing and informed me that I was probably one of the most unusual apprentices he had ever seen and gave me some rather annoying tasks just so he could be sure I was not that incompetent.

Was definitely a hang your head moment.

[Ghostcat]

Must have been three or so in the morning, after classes and work.

I somehow turned on autosay in a big group of people...

I was too tired to figure out what was going on, so my character started saying the things I intended to put on the ooc channel, as well as commands.

Still embarrassed when i think about it.

[Addonex]

Well, here's one that always brings me a chuckle. It was like 1:30- 2:00 AM, and I was sitting there, flicking between Mudlet (My mud client) and AIM. So, I was talking to my RL GF on AIM, and at the end of the conversation, I was going to tell her a really perverted limerick. To spare some child on this sight the mental scarring it will give him, I won't repeat it.

Anyway, so I had just finished a fight on the MUD, and thought I clicked on the AIM window, so I would type in that instead of Mudlet. Yea... not so much. In the MUD, I was sitting in a very high-profile city meeting...

Just as a reminder, folks, make sure your mouse actually cooperates when switching windows....
