(I was a mute, so I had to speak via the way, and said sure, or something along that lines) Cue us walking about, killing scrabs n' shit for a while, till I find a dark area on the horizon. We walk down, and get eaten by about 6 tarantulas

That sounds an awful lot like stumbling across a pack of spiders.

That sounds an awful lot like stumbling across a pack of spiders. We were specifically looking for them though?

While I am all for "staff fucked me over" stories this is definitely not one of them my friend. There is a certain area in the "dusty plains" where about 20 spiders are always roaming. I know this because I've lost about 3 long lived PCs to those spiders there.
You guys just walked right into them. It's happened to tons of PCs, it doesn't matter how strong you think you are either. Nobody really survives that shit.

melonman wasn't telling a story about how the staff fucked him over. He was telling an anectdote about how one of his characters got killed. This, in compliance with the OP, who asked people to share any of a few different things. Including anectdotes.
Here's mine:
I was playing my first rukkian, totally getting into it, really enjoying the discovery of how the spells "felt" when I was the one casting them. I'd seen rukkians before, I seen them cast stuff, I thought it was cool how they did it, but I'd never done it myself. So this was a really fun new role for me.
Speeding up and down the roads, this was before the North Road had a huge hole blocking travel between Nak and Luir's. There was just that gulch if you went too far north and didn't veer around it (next to the old Byn outpost). I'd used this route a million times before with ranger PCs, I knew all the spawn points.
What I didn't know, was that there was a recent plotline involving gith, and there were around a dozen of them all lined up along the road once you got around the corner to the other side of the gulch, heading north.
My speediness didn't save me. I got past the first two, but I got just barely nicked by a third. And since that one was able to engage, I was stuck with three more jumping me before I could even try to use the flee command. I could handle myself fine against one gith - but four wasn't an option.
Dead in six swings from four gith, with no time to even hit back. Wouldn't have mattered, I was unarmed. Stupid newbie rukkian story. No conspiracy, no staff involvement. It was also the first time I'd ever been ganked by an NPC.
I was pissed when I finally made another rukkian with a goal to learn the strategy of getting past the gith on that pass, and learned the pass wasn't passable anymore.

One fucking around story, I was playing a drovian in Nak. I was scoping out all the nice apartments, looking through everybody's stuff, and I'd found a really nice one with tons of gems and merchanty stuff in it. So, I decided to rob some of the nicer stuff. Got all my components set and ready, sent out a shadow to scout the place again. There was a templar getting intimate with his aide in one of the rooms there - now I was DEFINITELY going to rob it. But, before I released my shadow and Eth'd my ass over there, they popped the question to each other:
A templar says, OOC: "Consent?" An aide says OOC: "Of course." Someone says OOC: "I consent too guys." (I couldn't resist.)
So, like good RPers they went to bone town, and while they were busy I gibbed a few things from the other room.

Meh, it was from a Send Shadow, so it barely counts.
Also, probably my best n00b mischief: I was playing a dwarf who was about as lazy as lazy gets. He was fat, silken and gem clad (think his focus was along the lines of "Prove to his parents that he isn't gay.") So he would do things like pay Bynners to carry him from the Gaj to the Barrel. Eventually he bought an erdlu to do the work for him. Being my first mount of the game, it was also the first time I realized that you can't take a mount in the bar. In my newb brain I had the idea that I could probably subdue it to bring it into the bar with me...
So, I gave that a shot. The erdlu attacked me and got itself crimflagged (I somehow wasn't). Two soldiers rush in to capture the erdlu, it dodges their subdue and proceeds to PECK THEM TO DEATH. I get questioned about the incident, pay a hefty fine, and am released.
Years later I'm playing in the AOD, and I look through the boards at the criminal lists and find a post along the lines of: "Such and such a dwarf was questioned in regards to the death of two soldiers resulting an enraged erdlu. He was dismissed of charges, but should be watched closely."
I'm not sure if it's funnier the way it played out, or if the soldier would've succeeded to drag that poor erdlu to the dungeon.
