I got a good one here. So back in 99 or so when I was still super badass I was in the north with a burglar of mine. So back then the north was occupied by nakki forces and they had these enterable 'camps' you could go into. So I enter one of them and I'm sneaking around hiding and shit, being sneaky. I eventually find a tent that is guarded so I sneak by the guards (even thought they tried to stop me lol). When I got in I started looking thru all the shit and found a fine steel shortsword lying in a rack. I knew all about darksun so I grab the thing and leave and quit out. I kept this item on this account for about 5 RL years. Don't ask me why I just did. So at this point Tuluk is back and all that shit is gone. The item is still on this character so I log him in and he's around 60 years old. I AIM a buddy of mine (The kadian dwarf I gibbed in the grasslands) and told him I'm gonna make that death up to him. I said meet me on the road. He was playing a d-elf at the time and I was a human. So the scene played out between us and I end up attacking him. He kills me, gets the sword and starts using it around the tablelands. Eventually the staffers find out about it and transfer him and ask him and he spills the whole story to them. I will point out that also during this timeframe I was banned and had at least 12 accounts on the game so having this one account sit for 5 years was no big deal to me.

Another metal story. So around 02-03 Halaster made this sword called Mage Slayer it was a bronze longsword that he gave to a militia PC called Cross I believe? Not really sure. At the time I had a d-elf Sand Jakhals called Indra. I get an AIM from a buddy of mine who pastes me the description of this sword and I call bullshit. He's a city elf pick pocket and says he stole it off a militia guy. I still don't believe him so I tell him I will come down and see it. So I run into 'Nak and we play out a scene where he tells me if I take him north he will give me something worth more than I can imagine. Being a d-elf I was like fuck it I will take this idiot north. I was planning on killing him but Indra had a soft spot for city elves. Back then you have to realize most d-elves were actually solo and didn't run in tribes and you could also have tribeless d-elves back then. Anyway back to the story.
So I run this fucker north and when we get there he takes the sword out and gives it to me and says he will give it to me for 2k sid. I'm like eh fuck it, so I give him the coin. So I have this bronze longsword that when you hit people with it drains all their mana. So I run around killing every mage I can find, and damn near plainsman and this whiran called storm lord. Eventually everything gets real crazy with the other d-elves and I sort an RPT for all the tribes to come together and talk about the sword. Indra believed that the sword was a sign for him to become an elven king and unite all the tribes as one and storm the city-states for plunder. The tribes felt differently. So anyway they wanted me to go throw the sword in the silt sea, well I decidd to give the thing back to the city elf because I was being hunted by a ton of people and was tired of dealing with it. So I give the sword back to my buddy and he ends up giving the thing to Eunoli a northern templar. Eunoli was played by a staffer who was also staffing the southern team with halaster so it all came full circle in the end.

Years ago when I first started playing (2002? 2001?) I had burglar who had palm. An imm animated the bartender of the Gaj and held a hot pepper eating contest. Being a clever guy, I entered and ate a couple of peppers. I kept trying to use slip to put extras in my pack but was having trouble with the command context. The bartender pointed out that I still had some, and I wished up that my character was trying to cheat at the pepper eating contest by using the palm skill but I couldn't figure out the syntax. I ended up getting disqualified and a negative note put on my account that always stuck with me. My introduction to the murder, corruption, and betrayal world of Armageddon MUD was getting a mean note on my newb account for trying to realistically cheat in a pepper eating contest.

Damn, too many WTF stories, but I'll give one of the more fun ones: Back around 2006 when I had Bones (the old man elkrosian in that pic with other CAMers on the arm website), I had become buds with another rogue elkrosi played by Pungee/Ugly Death Elf (also known as former staff Onimantu). We had hilarious journeys together, but one in particular that stuck out was when we decided to see what would be in the wezer domes. We had another bud with us (the krathi known as Red if I'm not mistaken, played by mudder) and Bones being the bastard he was just hobbled up to a dome and kicked it in. We proceeded to get swarmed by the bastards as they just kept coming out one after another (they do this until the dome is repaired). Red ended up getting stung so I had to subdue/drag him into a nearby tent. The other elkrosian and Bones then proceeded to run INTO the dome. With our energy shields up, we ran throughout the underground labyrinth and continue casting sul chain lightning every time 10 or so wezer would pounce on us. By the time we were done we'd slaughtered close to 50 wezer. Suffice it to say we had PLENTY of the wax balls of water and perraine. Another fun story was when I was playing another elkrosian named Boob (yes, boob). Boobs story was pretty incredible, as he'd witnessed one of his best friends die right before him in the tablelands and proceeded to lose his power (or will, perhaps) to cast. After his other friend was slaughtered by the old half-elf ranger (forget his name), Boob took it upon himself to hunt the motherfucker down. He concocted a story and called out to the ranger, claiming he was under attack by a mage. Following this story, I conjured up an een elemental I believe (for elkrosians that's a massive serpent IIRC) and waited for the bastard. Well, his sneak and hide were too good, so for the next half hour he would sneak/hide in rooms while I chased after him, nuking each room with chain lightning (chain lightning doesn't require a specific target, as it indiscriminately spreads out and strikes whoever is in the room). The bastard was just a weeee bit too fast, so I opted to pull out all the stops and just conjure a massive lightning storm. Boob proceeded to stalk through the grasslands as immortals sent out echoes that the rolling hills were aflame due to the lightning. I then had my "Sephiroth moment" while I stalked through the flaming gesra, dead gazed focused on the fast retreating ranger. I later found out the staff had a bet on who would win that fight. Everyone was on the ranger's side, except for Onimantu, who knew I could pull it off if the bastard slipped up just once.

Blah, quick stories:
1) Once had a nilazi that would attack the gates of Tuluk with an army of undead. When they'd drop a soldier, I'd immediately reanimate them and put them to work. Fun times. He also had the goal to murder a Jihaen, possess his corpse and begin poisoning the water supply of the city. Staff responses were humorous.
2) Once had a different nilazi have his undead minions do the monster mash in the mul outpost.
3) Caught Spider (Bhagharva's avatar) with Selestria/Seik, an old whiran of mine and turned him in to the authorities. Quick proceeded to walk into the dungeon and have him (a known and wanted criminal) released.
4) Had an arm ripped off by the White Rantarri (the animal, not the sorceror) that grew back with blue-spotted fur and claws. His shadow was echoed as being that of a rantarri -- Shalooonsh was great about animations and echoes.
5) Gowan learned how to read and write. He was in the process of writing a few books when things went south with Rissa.
6) Wielded mage slayer/killer/whatever the fuck it was called (the bronze sword) as the Jihaen Malik for several months before Eunoli took it away.
7) Built the corral in Blackwing with Flint Sky.
8) Destroyed the mage tower (Ankha's lair) in the Abi'li Pah with Flint Sky.
9) Brought the SR and Soh closer together for a time with Flint Sky. In the Soh camp you will see one or two SR elves (look for their warpaint/warclubs)
10) Stole a steel dagger as a burglar when I was a bumbling newbie. Eunoli got that too.
11) Manipulated a blue robe during the Copper War before betraying him to his superior (he was attempting to ally with me and have me assassinate his superior so he could take command). He wayed me cursing me, to which I replied: "Never trust an elf." I was rather proud of that moment.
12) Number 11 was a Silt Wind elkrosian. I knew I was being manipulated, but it was all the more fun to have him become the pawn of marko's lirathan and pester the southern forces in guerrilla warfare. I'm not sure how many of those bastards I killed. An HG eventually walloped me on the noggin' with his fists as I sat there chillin' in Blackwing.
13) Died to Black Tembo more times than I can remember.
14) When Bones witnessed Storm Lord's death, he took his wand and proceeded to have much fun knocking people out with the spell (it was enchanted with wind fist). Quick got that after he fed Bones' legs through 'wall of blades', unfortunately.
15) Quick charmed an HG of mine (the only one I ever played), and he ordered me to sleep. I then received the message "you feel your heart stop beating." =P
16) I had Gin dead to rights TWICE and fucked up both times. First time I knocked him out, then knocked myself out since the nilazi I hit had "turn element" on. Balls. Second time I had him mortally wounded but was fighting Quick at the same time; I thought it was too risky and retreated.
17) I once had a Soh named Maga, and under his leadership Soh pc numbers swelled to around a dozen.
18) Who knows what else. It's been so long I've forgotten a lot and only remember the most recent stuff.

Were you banned from Arm for circumstances outside this board, FJ? Eh, around 2009 manonfire had an acquaintance throw him a bone by emailing him a hacked ex-imm IDB pass. He proceeded to log on and check out the sekrits. He was summarily banned. Meanwhile, I'd opted to give my 6 karma account (vlad) to Mood (acct mood) and just play off of his since I wasn't keen on using karma anymore, except for the 1 point reserved for d.elves. It was on acct mood that I had Flint Sky for, oh I dunno, around a year. Later on Adhira eventually emailed me and claimed that since I was connected to the IDB hacker, I would be permabanned as well. The two things I was guilty of would have been giving away a 6 karma account, and having an RL buddy give an inactive account to manonfire, who was banned. Some context: (July '09) As part of resolving the player accounts we took at look at your game and gdb accounts. As you said, disconcerting. You know the rules of the game and have chosen to ignore them. We will be banning your account. Adhira Me: What are you talking about? Them: As staff we have no desire to spend our time policing the game. The game does come with a set of rules and we ask that those who play the game abide by them. This includes not creating multiple accounts, not sharing accounts and not participating in harmful or malicious acts against the game. We do have the ability to track IPs on the gdb and the idb. Things become pretty obvious when there are inconsistencies between these accounts. In other circumstances we might make allowances and try to arrive at a different solution. However, since these accounts are all linked in and associated with the IDB hacker we don't feel like being charitable. There are many high quality muds and RPIs out there. Good luck finding one that suits you. Later on, I'll admit I did try to come back, though that was shot down pretty fast. (February '11) Your Question request has been resolved. This was a lifetime ban and we are not interested in revoking it. Quite funny, as in 2012 they instituted the "banmesty" campaign. So, in answer to your question, yes.

This is the shit that really grinds my fucking gears. YOU don't feel like being charitable? LOL. I don't need your fucking charity. Do they even know what some people are capable of doing to their game? Idiots man I swear.

The amount of organization required to run a D&D campaign is negligible in comparison. It takes five guys, one with campaign books and another two to bring pretzels and mountain dew. Throw in an hour of preparation and you have a session. If that's all it took to build a mud, then you'd have one ready for us.
The only thing I'm trying to justify here is your lack of understanding. But you're right. They do effectively own the rights of the mud. Not in any legal sense (nobody is going to publish material based on armageddonMUD), they just operate and administrate it.
In this case, its more like: they own the house with the table and the chair you're sitting in, they own the paper you wrote your character on, they established ground rules for you to abide by, and if you don't, they kick you out.
Maybe the D&D analogy is apt after all. I've played games DM's I couldn't stand. So, I no longer play dungeons and dragons with them.

I suppose now that I'm banned I may as well say this. You know that rumour on the boardsabout that Kurac dwarf Eto, 'The black spotted dwarf'? Basically he did something or other and Kurac put a bounty on him. Yeah, I was with him when he died. He's dead: I met him on the way to red storm, teamed up with him and we both got eaten on the dusty plains by tarantulas. We got zerg rushed by them
