All names will be
changed to "Tommie" to protect the identity of the original idiot.
Wadda backstabbing
bastard!
I
had a level 24 gypsy, and the Tommie in question had a level 27 mage. So
Tommie had been using the well known dragonclaw-vortex
combo/bug (That no longer works.) Run
around like a chicken with no head, go out of a vortex, then go in and out
using the staff until everything is dead, and he gets a ton of exp.
Unlucky Tommie runs into Lord of the Hunt and gets dropped at the
vortex to the pillaged museum right before he gets out.
I was the only one high enough to go into the vortex, and I
wasn’t very good friends with Tommie.
But, nonetheless he comes paging me asking if I can help him out.
So deciding to be the better man and be nice, I go and save him.
I sit around with him until he got up from negative hps.
I
hadn’t done the beholder quest yet, so I asked him if he would in
return, help me kill the beholder. He
agreed. So we went and killed
the beholder. During the
fight, I had been held, and hit pretty hard and he had not been hit at
all. The next thing I see are
meteors hitting me, and rounding me.
Of course Tommie goes and starts screaming on gossip that he had
managed to kill me, and then proceeds to auction off my gear including the
black leather tunic, ruby necklace, and the then coveted jeweled adamantite
longsword.
He was so busy bragging and goading me that I was able to run all
the way back to the beholder’s room where he had been sitting.
I then hid and proceeded to steal every bit of gear back.
Because he had been sitting in that room for a good 10 minutes,
there were several monsters outside the beholder room.
After retrieving ALL of my gear and the beholder eye from his
inventory, I went outside (he was still bragging on gossip) to the other
safe room (the one with the painting) and equipped all my gear.
I then went back, and backstabbed his puny mage.
He ran out side (I followed) and he got hit badly by the monsters
out there. He then ran
through the trap, dropped and hung up.
Because I was in combat, and high hang-ups were set, Tommie died,
and all of his gear ended up stashed in the darkrooms of the labyrinth,
and it was not yet known that they could be lit up!
Make up your mind!
One day in the realm, there was a Tommie (name changed to protect ME).
Tommie usually leaves his scripts (he has 3 characters on this particular
board) running at work at night, but has the script log off at work, from
9:00 PM - midnight, in case he wants to play at
home. On the evening in question, he logs in his primary character (lvl 38
HOG warrior), and sees that the character, whom he left running in the
Ironwoods with the other two, is at pretty low HPs, and
poisoned. Being a HOG, the poison wears off shortly, and he rests
up. He logs the other two characters in (lvl 17 priest and lvl 24
mage), and sees that they are both in the negative digits. He heals
them up,
gets everyone up and running, and decides to move them to a safer place to
finish out the evening. He moves them over to the orc barracks, and
starts the script running from home, then goes to bed, after seeing the
boys safely in their groove. The next morning, he
sees that all three had dropped during the night, and, a little
frustrated, just closes the screens, planning on fixing the difficulty
when he arrives at work. He gets to work, and, to his surprise,
finds his HOG warrior up and running the Ironwood Forest Loop. After
scrolling back through the convo box, he notices that around 5:00 AM,
someone gossips "Geez, Tommie! Come in or go out, make up your
mind!" Tommie's heart
sank, as he realized that his HOG warrior had not been dropped, but just
logged off, as normal. So, at the stroke of midnight, the script at
work logged in, and, due to the handy ghosting feature of the BBS, the
scripts at work and home had been redialing and knocking each other off.
AND, since Tommie's BBS settings were set to 1000 redials, at 30 second
breaks, the nighttime dwellers of the realm saw Tommie
login in about 2000 times in the space of 8 hours. And the dupes were
killed, one by being left alone in the Orc Barracks, and the other by
being dragged through the silver river without a skiff, by a blind,
poisoned HOG warrior who was frantically trying to decide if he wanted to
script the Ironwoods, or the Barracks.
What good are the guardians?
My buddy and I decided to assault a rival clan's gang house, suspecting
the ninja quest weapon was stored inside. I wanted it for my dupe
character, a level 39 ninja, who is not only the highest ninja in the
realm, but pretty much the only one left playing. We were going in
with
my lvl 55 cleric, my 39 ninja, and my friend's 45 mystic. We were
fairly confident we could take the guardians, but were prepared for a
battle just the same. My ninja picks the front door, and as we
prepare
to go in guns blazing, my friend tells me to hold up. I look in, and
sitting right on the floor at the entrance to the gang house are 2
emblems! Suffice to say, we soon had the run of the place, finding
still another few emblems inside, plenty of gear, and the ebony ninjato.
A tale of two Tommies!
Our realm is a non pvp realm (PVP disabled). Our fearless tommies
begin their quest for greatness by moving in on a few of the mid level
players in the realm trying to horn in on some good exp without
asking. Figuring that the tommies did not have megamud set properly,
area spells were used and bam! Tommies hang up. Well, they
decide that this is not going to work so they then set their megamud to
attack anyone who attacks them in a non pvp realm. So next time area
spells are used to discourage them, they begin trying to attack the person
who cast the area spell. Of course they quit fighting the monsters
in the room when they do this :) If this isn't Tommie enough for
you, 1 of the MYSTICS was trying to cast entangle as a combat spell!
Oops! I Was a Tommie!
Well me being the village idiot (As a gaunt
palladin I spent all my time in elder grove by level 4), I decide to rob a
ganghouse. The Blue one to be exact. So i go there hoping to pick the lock
(lockpick skill of 5-duuh) and find their door and vault keys on sale
in their shop. FOR 25 GOLD !!!. So i buy them and open the first door. BTW
at this time I'm a level 10 Paladin. So the Tommie paladin walks into the
room thinking: "Oh there's only 3 of them i can handle it". 1
round I'm dead: i don't even get a chance to swing. So i gossip to the
gang members that i did this and they laugh at me and give me my stuff
back. They also invite me to the gang (i was gangless) and give me the
emblem. The leader said: "Well you're either really dumb, or really
brave, either way you'll fit in with us". I guess stupidity pays off
after all.
MegaMud: Friend or Foe?
One day, Faldron (former gangmember) started
talking trash to my gangleader. So me and Faldron argue back and
forth. Me trying to defend my leader who obviously didnt like pvp, and
Faldron trying to just irritate me. I decided to settle the score.
I apologize to him and invite him on a boss run. After some
convincing he decides to go but we despute over who will lead. he says
he hates @party commands but i can lead. I invite all three of his
guys ot follow me and type @party reroll. Faldron, the guy he was on
at the time, didnt reroll. The other two did. Needless to say I
never really heard him arguing with our gang again.
PvP Pansies!
2 of my gang members had recently
died, and their deathpiles raided by a couple of oxygen thieves
that made no small secret of their activities. Now I was
scripting in the wooden passage and my 2 buddies were in the AC.
I get a page that Banzai and Hiss are in the AC - they were both
Villain - and were not killing any monsters....I ran in there
and we joined up...one of my buddies couldnt hit either of them,
because he was too low, but he could heal us. I
immediately BSd banzai with my heavy black rod (we called it the
spoogin rod) and luckily blinded him. He tried to run but
kept hitting the walls, so we went to work on Hiss. The
moaner loved banzai and they both hung up...since there was no
PvP penalty on this board, we didnt get any real benefit...so we
had to wait. Sure enough, Hiss came in first, then
Banzai..they had been lurking in the menuing system. We
both nailed banzai and dropped him. Hiss grabs banzai and
runs. My killing partner was a ranger, so tracking wasnt a
problem, but HIss must have gotten lost because he came back
with banzai going the other way...our sneak was broken so I used
my crimson bracers and KILLED them both. Sure enough, all
the missing gear was there..the rest of it was garbage, except
for Hiss' magebane. Well sure enough, the trash talking
starts on gos. Banzai starts calling names and complaining
we were attacking his script. Hiss is just an
obscene little maggot and...he says "Yeah...we were just
walkin around there and then Lusiphur (my partner) casts some
burnshit on us"
So Lusi says "I did not cast no
burnshit on you"
Hiss then says that we got them fair
and square...all he wants is his magebane...I told him i
incinerated it because he had done that to a friends golden
sickle. Now the 3 of us are sitting on the pier hidden as
they pass us to go get their gear. When they walk back, I
drop the magebane. Hiss is almost fully clothed, banzai
has clothes but no weapon. So he picks it up and engages
combat with me. I go 2 rooms south and hide...and he isnt
following....Im screaming in broadcast to lusi to see if he
needs help...and lusi says "Hes not attacking us"/
Instead, the come into my room and I nail him with the rod and
boom boom, crimson bracers twice. Banzai was Fiend at the
time....we never saw them again.
Cave Worms Eat Tommy Up!
Me, a level 15'th D/Elf Ninja went to
script the caveworm for a few days.
Well, one day an account with two characters, Tommy 1 (13'th lvl
D/Elf
Mystic), and Tommy 2 (8'th level Dwarven Cleric) decided to script
the area
as well. I had a small problem with them scripting such a small
area, since
my 28k an hour suddenly dropped down 12k an hour, but a couple of
extra days to hit somewhere else was fine with me. Well, one day I
went east once, considering bsing Tommy 1 to disconnect him, and
letting the caveworm eat up Tommy 2. I figured why not, hit sneak,
and went back into the caveworm room. I then noticed that they were
just sitting in the room, not attacking! Apparently the guy had it
set to attack whatever I'm attacking, and when I stopped he just sat
in the room, taking hits. About 10 minutes later Tommy 1 and Tommy 2
die, and I help myself to Tommy 1'sts serpent armbands. The entire
realm had a pretty nice laugh.
Check Your Inventory!
Tommie, an evil level 35ish Dwarf Warrior in our realm got beat
up pretty bad one day by the guards in silvermere while he was AFK.
He had died in the fight he said so our resident Arch Bishop Klayton
goes into town to recover his items from the guards. After 10
minutes of searching the entire northern part of town Klayton asks
him to verify where he died. Tommie informed him that his scroll
back didn't go back that far. Then a few moments later, Tommie
informed the entire realm, over gossip, that he had typed I only to
discover that he still had all of his items on him. He had not died,
just been beaten pretty badly and tossed into jail.
A Lesson in Self-Tommying
One day I decided to take my level 32 half-ogre thief and level
21 dark elf mystic to the apperatus. After a tireless battle with
plague crafters, It was time to work on the lock. My thief, being
half-ogre, had little intelligence. The job of working the lock went
to the mystic. Not thinking, and using megamud I telepathed the
mystic with @do solve puzzle and checked the room for an open door.
Nothing happened. I telepathed it back two more times and pressed
enter to check for the open door. What I saw remimded me of 2
things. One, that the puzzle lock zaps you when you fail to solve
it. Second and more important was the fact that the mystic had only
one life remaining. The door was still closed, and there was quite a
bit of gear strewn around the ground including one loyal phoenix
feather. My heart sank as i clicked on the icon on the start menu
labled Tommie (-18%) and saw those immortal words... You have no
lives remaining! Ironically the dumbfounded half-ogre solved the
puzzle in one try, carrying the mystic's scalded and burnt clothing
with him.
Gang Wars Aren't Always
Violent!
One day Tommie 1 decided he was going to mess around with Tommie
2. Now these 2 had been fighting for about a month in a gang war.
Tommie 2 was a lutenant of a gang that had the gold house. One day
Tommie 1 bet Tommie 2 that He/She could get into the gold house
vault, Tommie 1 invited Tommie 2 to come along, thinking that He/She
was just bluffing. They met in TS and Tommie 1 invited Tommie 2 and
Tommie 2 joined. They began walking to the Gold house when all of
the sudden Tommy said @party give gold emblem to Tommie 1, followed
by @party give ornate gold to Tommie 1 and finally @party give gold
key to Tommie 1. And so he did just as he said he would...He/She
helped His/Herself to the Gold houses riches :)
The Apprentice
One who works true and
hard
Will make it quite
far
Level after level he
works
Hoping not to run into any
jerks
Working after many
days
Gaining experience along the
way
Asking help is a
must
But every kill was a
bust
Not enough to gain his
earn
Watching time, like oil,
burn
All his efforts to find a
kill
Began to itch at his
will
Then another player offered
aid
So a plan they began to
lay
And they took to their
quest
This was the weak ones final
test
The leader took just one
look
Read a page from his
book
An evil thought ran through his
head
He knew exactly what this player
dread
Look to his fellow and raised his
hand
@party reroll was the
command
All the help the weakling
recieved
Was a rouse, a plan to
decieve
The evil one had his
fun
And the weakling turned out quite well
done
This be a lesson to all young with
pride
Please remember to set your suicide
MegaMUD Mess We were
gathering a load of folks to go on a boss run. This board was
a pvp board. People often scripted in groups so of course
everyone had the "Defend Party" option in Megamud turned on.
There ended up being about 20 people on this run so we ended up with
about 4 or 5 parties all being dragged by one person. 2 of the
players, Tommie 1, a level 30 mage, and Tommie 2, a level 27 Gypsy,
had their Auto Nuke option turned on in megamud since they scripted
together and no one else scripted their areas. As we were heading
out to kill the first boss, we ran into a room with 2 monsters in
it. The Tommies had the faster connections (Same person with a
dupe) so they engaged combat first. Since there was more than
1 monster in the room, they both attempted to nuke the room.
Of course this also attacked everyone else in the room who was not
part of the party that they were in. Since everyone in the
other parties had auto defend on, they all attacked the tommies, the
party that the tommies was in then proceeded to defend their party
from attack. When the dust settled, the only people left alive were
a level 42 witchie, who had about 10 hps left, myself, a level 10
warrior who wasto low to fight anyone, and another low level
player.Moral for this story? Check your Megamud settings
before heading out to party!
Don't always trust the
Sysop! Our "Tommie" was a level 40 Warrior who was very
tired of playing the warrior. Our sysop was telling people
that he had not purchased the update that allowed race & class
changes. (He actually had bought it, just didn't want to be
pestered to death about installing it) Well Tommie decides
that he is tired of waiting for the update, and is going to just
reroll into something better than a warrior. Tommie does a sys
goto newhaven, and rerolls. At some point in the 8 months he
had been playing he had typed SET KEEP OFF. So we had a brand
new level 1 warrior in the realm! If the story isn't funny
enough for you, our sysop loaded the update with race change that
very afternoon!
Money can buy lives! OK on
one of my boards, we've got a fairly low top ten list, im #6 with 60
mil or so.. anyways.. the #5 player, a d-elf mystic, with about 80
mil exp got killed in mithril mines, and got help to go get his
gear. after a lot of dying <his helpers werent well suited
to save ppl from mith mines> they managed to get his gear and
started to leave. Well before they got out this mystic decided
to leave the party, and all but one of them got killed again.
They managed to get their gear back.. with no help from the mystic
of course, and not without pissing off at least one of his saviours
badly. He was warned that maybe he couldnt handle that area
and that he should move.. but being the tommie he is he decided to
go play in there some more, and died again.. only this time noone
helped him to go get his gear <hmm i wonder why> and he ended
up being rerolled. Now i suppose this could happen to anyone
and wouldnt necessarily constitute a tommie story, except that he
had to run all the way back from silvermere to khaz to get to his
gear.. passing 2 banks on the way, and having to go in at least one
for the rope/mine pass cash. Well after his reroll he realized
that he had lost 5 runic, and that lives only cost 50 plat
there. The realm all had a good laugh at him and everyone
was happy.. cept him of course
Wisdom Comes With Age? I think
not! I, Jimmie (:D), was getting help leveling from level
47 Tommie.
I was level 2 Dwarf Paladin at the time. We
were on our way to
the Slimy tunnels when Tommie said he'd go afk
and let it script
with me. Well, he got hung from BBS lag
at the room before the
mad wizard. I went south and the mad
wizard attacked me.
During this time, he logged back on, but
evidently was still
afk. Well, I ran north because the mad wizard
was kickin my
level 2 butt! This is where Tommie was, he
logged on but his
log didn't set the ANSI graphics crap or
whatever. So megamud
didn't recognize what was
happening. I ran east from the room
but the mad wizard
stayed and attacked Tommie. 16 minutes and 412 hps later,
Tommie dropped to the ground and died. I went in and naturally
took all I could and later sold half of it to him for a very
expensive price and kept the rest. What a moron, level 47
ninja, you'd think he'd have some brains....
The Gang House Was
Robbed! One day I was walking along with my level 25
Paladin and my level 28 Warrior in the laby, as I came out of the
hole I decided to rest. For some odd reason I went to the blue gang
house which is located to the west, I went to the shop and searched
and found a blue house key. The Tommie gang leader decided to be
cocky and drop a key there a see if anyone would go in and try to
seal some stuff and get hacked to pieces by the guardians. He knew
that if he didn't leave some more bait no one woul go in the house
so he left a few sapphire emblems in the first room and bought a
bunch of extra guardians so if anyone tried to get them they would
die in one round. I laughed to myself created a nice little macro
and got one of the emblems for myself and my 2nd character. After
that i looted their nice little house which was stacked up to the
brink with goodies. The only think that shows that this Tommie had a
brain is that he didn't leave a safe key laying around, tho that
might be his next idea for baiting people to get in his gang house!
Penalty! MegaMUD Interference, Two
Deaths. Here is a nice story why you shouldn't PvP with
auto attack on. There was a level 22 Ranger (Tommy A) and a level 34
Paladin (Tommie B). Due to the fact the system has a PvP limit of
one they were always grave-robbing/stealing and being general
nuisances. Well, one day I, a Level 21 Ranger, and my friend a level
34 Warrior tracked them all the way to the Black Fort where we had
said we died. We caught up to them and proceeded to attack them. As
we did a Dark Mage regenerated and they went from attacking us to
attacking it. They beat the mage easily but were hurt from our
attacks. Since the mage died they reengaged on us and to our
surprise yet another mage walked in, they immediately attacked it,
and we landed the final blow, killing them. We got away with all
their goodies and only took about 18 damage in the process.
The Secrets of the Game
Revealed Tommie was working on the Module 6 quest and
didn't want to lose her good stuff by going through the pyramid, so
she decided to hide her precious metallic robes on level one of the
great pyramid. Well, after the whole ordeal, she went back to the
exact spot where she left them and was horrified to find them
missing! Little did she know that (like all items) they fell through
the pyramid to the caverns!
Double Suicide!
Tommie was hanging out one day and decided to reroll his
character. So he did. After re-equipping he was sitting in town
square and someone looked at him, and asked him "What happened?". He
replied "reroll" rerolled for the second time. Point being: The
suicide password is set for a reason. (Story submitted by
Direwolf.)
Tommie vs. the Gaunt
One day, me being a level 43 Gaunt-one / Ninja, was chilling in
the bank. Well, a level 32 Dark-Elf / Ranger, who will
remain anonymous, decided to follow me as I was taking some newbies
on an experience run(a level 19 Goblin / Thief and a level 15
Missionary) after listening to our conversation in the bank. Me being a
Gaunt-one and doing the "see hidden" quest, could obviously, see
hidden. So we were on our merry little way to kill Aurumvorox
and the low levels needed to rest. I on the other hand,
didn't. So instead of resting anyway, I hid, waiting for a
monster or anything to walk into the room to prevent the newbies
form dying. I was getting bored from the long wait, and
pressed enter luckily. There he was...hidden {in case you
never seen it before, it would look like this...Tommie
(hidden)*}. I figured he was going to try to BS me or
something, so I waited. Nothing. I thought to myself,
"maybe he is just wanting to tag along." Well, this guy was a
regular trash talker, who could hardly ever back his words up; so I
figured he didn't have the balls to attack me. He had been
begging me to sell my multi-coloured sash and cat's eye for weeks,
denying him every time. Being the regular Tommie he is, he
would say something that would anger my gang, and they would hunt
him down and he'd hang (yada, yada) and come back later
apologizing. Same thing every day. So, I thought, maybe
he's thinking he will follow us until we got there, hoping I'd get
low on hp's and he could kill me in one BS. Well, we moved on,
stopping every once and a while so I can see if he is still
following us. Sure enough, there he is, hidden. So I
said," ok, he's hunting me..." We go to the Aurumvorox and
killed it easily. He made the mistake of peeking in. I
knew he was gonna try to BS me. I hid and kept hitting
enter. After hitting enter about 30 times, I could see him
hidden. He tried to do poison cloud and got the newbies, but I
resisted, I hid again. He hid too, thinking I couldn't see him, but
being Gaunt-one, I did. I BS'ed him with my trusty vorpal
sword for about 235 and he dropped. I broke combat and aided him,
to play with him. He said, "Why you attacked me." I
said, "cause I want give you this." I hid, and BS'ed him
again. Tommie is dead. Now, anyone else probably would
have left their good stuff behind, but no, not Tommie. The
moron, not knowing I could see hidden, lost a Starsteel mace,
Mithril ring, belt of might, black leather tunic, adamantite
bracers, an Elven cloak, and about 5 runics. He asked for his
stuff back, so I told him to meet me at TS. I gave him his
stuff back only to bs him and take it back. Hehehehehehe, I
love MUD!!!!!!
Tommie gets what he asks
for!
There was a level 40 Witchunter that no one liked on my old
board. He had his whole high and mighty attitude towards
everyone and talked trash to all those out of his pvp range (set at
5 levels). Whenever anyone roamed in his roam spot he bitched
and wined and complained until you left out of frustration. I
had gotten tired of my level 45 warrior and rerolled to a druid,
which I found to be more enjoyable to play. The moment I did
he started his attitude with me. Well, there came a fateful
day where he was at 3 lives, died while roaming, died trying to get
his stuff then spent his last life trying again :) This put
Tommie at our pvp range :) myself, and a warlock just waiting for
him :) well, he quieted down since he knew we were after him
but we had already had enough. We found him roaming and
attacked him and I took his stuff to the incinerator. I then
hid myself in TS and he logged on, went to TS just like I knew he
would and started searching for items. Instead, he found me
waiting for him. Now, knowing that he was in range of 2 irate
spellcasters, he did not bother putting any points on at all on
willpower. So, his little level 30 Witchie was defenseless and
after a short game of cat and mouse, I hit him with entangle, 2
earthfists, he ran one room and I hit him one more time and dropped
him :) Toe to toe with a low willpower Witchie. This
game proceeded until we finally rerolled him. After that he
made yet another low willpower Witchie but was a little humbled
since he was now at level 20 :)
Tommie 0 She Dragon 1
Okay, so we decided to kill the adult she-dragon for the first
time. We spent 2 weeks planning it making sure to be all
online on the day of killing. When that day finally arrived,
the mage and I spent the morning roaming lave fields and collecting
hides for amulets. Late in the afternoon we came ak and added
our amulets to the rest of the groups which all totalled up to about
20 or so. There were 6 of us going so we had plenty in case we
should die. After 30 minutes of arguing and trying to organize
our little group, we finally make it outside her room. We
spelled ourselves up and went in. Megamud had just come out so
not all of us were using it. The ranger types a dr and as you
know that will not attack the adult she-dragon, but it DID attack
the mudop who's name started with dr! In all the confusion
scrolling across the screen no one noticed and he sys-goto'ed to
town almost dead. Soon after the Ranger died and the battle
turned to the dragon's favor. The paladin was the only one who
was able to run south before he died. The mage spent an hour
sneaking in and getting our stuff and when he had 95% of it all, he
finally got caught in a muddle spell and called for help. Now,
knowing that the ranger was his only hope, myself and another
warrior went in anyway with him and we all got muddled instantly.
The ranger failed at casting freedom and we all got trashed and the
mage had to start all over again with the death piles! When we
FINALLY got our stuff back, and another mudop logged on, a cleric,
(which made our party 3 warriors, a ranger, mage, paly, and cleric)
we decided to try again and restore our honour. We went
in and what do I do? "a dr" the mudop sys goto's to town almost
dead! :) He's not happy at this point and the ranger bites it again
and dies quickly. But with the cleric, we are holding our own
and got her down to very crit. At this point the mage decides
he has had enough and leaves. Now with him gone and another
death in our group, she starts healing faster then we can hit
her. I yell out to the mage to get his ass back in before she
heals too much and kills us all again and he comes back and we
won! But since the room was full of gear already, she dropped
absolutely nothing! Oh well, lessons were learned that day
:)
A Tommie by any other name
On the board that I play at, there is Tommie. He claimed he has
played mud for about 1 - 1.5 years, and he has always played a
ninja. He kept asking questions that were repetitive and pointless.
After about 2 weeks of these annoying questions day after day, the
op's decided to change his name to: Tommie. He has kept the name
since. (Not that it stopped the questions )
Dying to Get Together
One day a lvl 51 Gnome Mystic (Tommie #1) was having some people
over to his house for a BBS Get Together. He was on his way out to
the Rakhashas with but one single life left. (Big Mistake) When he
entered the well he proceeded to get out on the other side into
Rak's. Some people started talking to him and he accidentally sat
one room from the exit of the well for about 4 minutes. When he
looked up again it said, "You have been killed!" which of course
rerolled him. Now that isn't even the best part. Our lovely Sysop
who is also a sort of a Tommie in this case, was talking to him
about his Rerolling incident. Tommie #1 exclaimed to our sysop that
he was not in the well, he was out of the well and somehow there
began a new "Out of Well Bug" that you drown when you are one room
outside of the well. Gullible little Sysop Tommie #2 believing him,
edited him back his 900 Million exp putting Tommie #1 back to his
spot at #2 on the board.
The bug bites back
I have played mud for a number of years, and never heard of
anything this stupid. One of the boards I was playing on allowed the
Mermex bug (this was before the new mod fixed it). So the mudops
would help out with it and allow you to have sys goto, a command for
lightning, and lives on request. Well one day one of the largest in
the realm, a level 43 warrior, decides he wants to be "bugged"...he
was doing just fine on running and getting poisoned and dieing and
getting the +5 to int, str, and agil. The one thing he was
forgetting to do was to have the mudops fill his lives when he got
low...needless to say he wasn't a level 43 warrior for long :).
Held up at the gate
I have an interesting story about a clever PvP'er (that'd
be me) and a not so bright Tommie (the guy I killed). I play
on a board that doesn't allow script killing. No
problem! If they're afk, I won't kill them. I was
sitting in the bank with my level 33 Dark-Elf Ranger when this
Warrior I wasn't too fond of walked in. We talked some small
talk a little... blah blah blah. I think he was level 35-39
Half-Orc with some nice stuff. I don't have the best
reputation and being a little bored decided to hint at the fact that
I was going to try and kill him. Hearing this he decided
to "start his script" and run
run run down to the lava fields or sallies or somewhere down
there. So, basically, I had to kill him before he got there or
he would go AFK. I first attacked him on the Grand Stair while
he was searching for exits... being a Warrior he just shrugged off
my BS and kept going. He opened the gate at the bottom but I
beat him to it, went through and closed it. He, surely not
realizing what happened, when back to reopen the gate but I had
already done so and passed through it, back to the Grand Stair
side. So, when he pulled the lever, he actually closed the
gate again. When he ran back down to it (bumping into it a few
times) there I was to BS him. Since he wasn't attacking
monsters (trying to save time to get away from me) he was also a
little lower on hps. The Dark Priest in the room casting hold
person on him was a nice touch too. I waited around for awhile
and when he finally came back in, there I was waiting to kill him
and increased my inventory of various Warrior junk... some pretty
good, though useless to me. All in all it was pretty fun.
Timing is Everything
I (A Former level 42 Witchunter) got very tired of Mud one day
and told the realm that I was going to sell my character (I was the
highest level character in the realm at the time). Tommie overheard
this and offered 200 dollars for my character. Between being
tired of the game and wanting to by a 3DFx Card I said it was
cool. We met and he gave me the cash and I gave him the
password. About 2 weeks after I sold my character to Tommie,
he rerolled my Witchie for no real reason but to become a
Warrior. Needless to say, about 3 days after he did that the
new Mod came out that gives you the opportunity to change your
race/class upon entering the game...... Sigh....
Tag Team Tommies
There's this Tommie, who shall remain nameless.
Actually, there's about 4 or 5 Tommies in this happy little
story. All these "Tommies" are in the same gang, they chum
together, overall I'd say they were very good friends. Here
they are:
Tommie 1: level 17 or so D-Elf Ranger
Tommie 2: level 26 Half
Ogre Warrior
Tommie 3: level 9 Goblin Ninja
Tommie 4: level 23
Dwarf priest
And me, a level 20 Kang Witchunter.
Now me, and these Tommies, didn't get along very well. In fact we
hated each other. So I'm sitting at Town Square, minding my own
business. (Oh by the way all these Tommies are evil, the
Ranger/Warrior/priest are FIEND, the Warrior was villain)
along comes happy-go-lucky Tommie 1, and he decides to BS me.
Me, being the non-pvp'er that I am, ran west (towards the
temple) about 5 rooms west of TS (Temple and Stone St. I
believe) sits 2 Templars. I run into that room. Tommie
1, most likely not thinking, follows me in, sneaking of course. He
BS's me again, for a low # it wasn't even worth laughing about.. So
I sat there while the Templars proceeded to hold person him and make
sure he became GOOD friends with their greatswords.. About 4 -
5 rounds pass, Tommie 1 obviously thinking he can kill me, and grab
my stuff, and still be at enough hp to hang then get dragged out
lager on, sits there and is hitting and hitting me. He drops
to the ground, and hangs. In the mean time, Tommy 3 comes in
and tries to BS me, but misses, and the Templars proceed to hold
person and attack him. He, being a LITTLE smarter (not too sure
about the whole "smart" idea) hangs the 1st round after he's been
hit.. Takes hardly any damage. Both Tommie 1 and Tommie 3 are
sitting at menuing system, and they apparently page Tommie 2, and he
heads over there himself. I'm sitting there, happily back up
to full HP because by this time all Tommies involved are worrying
about their stuff rather than lil ol me. :) So Tommie 2 enters
the room. Bam, hold person and greatsword. Tommie 2 tries KILLING
the Templars, but in the mean time a guardsman had come into the
room, and beat him to slums. So Tommie 2 has hold person cast on him
at slum crossroads. Tommie 4 comes in, and hold persons me
(for god only knows why) I laugh as him, being a weak priest, gets
the shizola beat out of him (and also held) by the Templars / guard.
so he sits there healing himself, trying to out last them and run..
But he doesn't. And he drops. So now Tommies 1, 3, 4 are dropped in
that room, and Tommie 2 is held at slum x-roads. Tommies 1-3-4
for some reason enter the realm, and now, having 3 town defenders in
the room (Templar, Templar guard) all three of them die. Now I've
just been buried in almost 25 runic worth of weapons and armour, and
they are all the way deep in slums. Needless to say, I had a
fat wallet and many limited items for a long, long time. And
after that I got as much as I could carry, and proceeded to run my
happy (now heavy) ass to the bank and sit there with all my new
toys. All in all, they apologized for the "trouble" and said
that if I give them some of the stuff back, I can keep the rest, no
hard feelings. So I kept it all, and had no hard feelings
:) god I love MMud.. :)
Tommie gets a lesson in PvP
One day I was sitting in Town Square with my lvl 18 druid waiting
for a few friends and all of a sudden some outcast (who was evil)
and one of his friends gets there before any of mine. Tommie was a
lvl 15 mystic...naturally he started some BS and bs'd me. I then ran
south and Tommie didn't follow, sneaking north again I bs'd
him...entangled him...and acid jetted him and he hung. After an hour
or so Tommie logged back on thinking I would be gone. I was of
course waiting in the shadows and when I bs'd him he ran north and
hung. Luckily with my knowledge of room speed, I went 2 north and
hid again. This time it only took one bs to kill Tommy, having first
choice at the yard sale that was now at my feet, I took his Clawed
Gloves, Mithril Ring and basically anything that I thought I could
sell for a profit. I bet this Tommie will remember my name forever.
;)
Tommie never learned to quit while he
was ahead :)
One evening this Tommie who was a level 16 Ninja thought he would
be brave and talk a lot of crap to me a level 49 mage #1 in the
realm. So after about an hr and a half of us badgering each other
back and forth I set up my script in dragons and went to bed. I woke
up the next morning checking MegaMud like normal and saw I had been
attacked. <Script was still going> So I look who it is and it
was that Tommie I then walk around looking for his gear and after
retracing the whole lava tube I type top 50 <he was #45> and
he wasn't there. Later that day he logged on and I found out he
tried to kill my script 9 times loosing every life to my script. Go
MegaMud, sfog/fork...
Tommie Tries to Fight Back
One day, Tommie, a lvl 27 Ranger, gossiped that he had gotten an
Ebony Kris. I very much needed one considering it is pretty
much the best weapon for me. Tommie and I have been rivals for as
long as I knew him and I was a lvl 23 mystic. Now, Tommie
could have easily killed me many times except for the fact that his
PvP skills were a dead zero. As soon as I saw the gossip, I
quickly told Tommie to hand over the Kris and I would leave him
alone for a while (I have killed him a few times in the past month
for no reason other than he was a jerk and I forced him into my gang
a while before that) so he was almost willing to give it up except
he didn't want me to kill him after I got it. So telling him that he
either dies and loosing all his stuff definitely, or giving up the Kris
and having a chance that I might be nice and let him live, he tells
me to meet him at TS. So I do and he comes in and drops the
Kris. I bow to him and take/equip it. No more than a second
later, I press enter and he is gone, then again and he is
back. Hmm, I hide and see Tommie says: "bs r" I bs him
and he runs east, I press enter and he's back, and I repeat the
steps above again and he dies. I gossip a quick laugh and grab
all his items except for his keys and gold.
Tommy Vs the Pipe
Tommie was a young Mud player, as well as a low-level Bard.
Tommie thought he'd be slick and steal from one of my gang members.
Tommie did complete his quest and stole a black and white serpent
ring. Tommie, being foolish, made me aware of what he had done.
Within a minute or so Tommie wanted to test out his backstabbing
ability. Tommie attacked another one of my gang members, knowing the
rest of the gang was live. Tommie thought he'd make things better
and offered to give back the black and white serpent ring. I went to
TS with a group of my gang and gratefully accepting his pay-back.
Tommie then missed his BS on me and ran. After a few minutes of pvp
we met with him next to the mad wizard. He then PULLED on the pipe,
while we attacked him, and dropped himself before we could. We then
laughed and watched as he bled to death.
Pure Stupidity :)
One day I, being about a lvl 15 Warrior, said that I would help a
level 8 newbie out in getting to the mad wizard. Now, this
Tommie was a friend of one of the top 5 on our board and the board
only had about 12 paying users therefore most of the best stuff was
monopolized by the top players and Tommie had the best stuff he
could for his level on. So, wanting to kill him yet couldn't
because of the PvP lvl, I told him that in order to get to the mad
wizard, he had to type pull lever in the slime room 50 times in 5
seconds. He told me that he couldn't type that fast so I told
him how to make a macro using Qmodem and he did. I just told
Tommie to hold down the macro button until the door opened so he did
but the door just never opened like planned yet I certainly got my
moneys worth.
Tommie and PvP
Tommie, a newbie into Mud when it first came out, was a lvl 15
Paladin. A player that we shall refer to as Trickster, had told
Tommie and his friends that if you had a Quest Weapon that didn't
belong to your class in your inventory, it would kill you. One day
Tommie was fighting him, and typed "give Shimmering Longsword to
Trickster". Needless to say it didn't kill him, and he ran off with
the Shimmering laughing at Tommie.
Silly PvP Deaths
This Tommie is a lvl 7 Warrior, I was a lvl 16 Ninja. Well Tommie
decided to take my find broadsword and sell it after picking through
my death pile. When I asked for it back I was told to blow him, so I
wander to the Graveyard and see him. One BS and he was dead. That
gets him mad and he starts calling me stupid and other names. So...I
go down to the Shadowy Healer where he is sitting and BS him again,
he dies of course. When he comes back he tries to run, but I follow
him about 5 rooms before getting another BS on him...oops dead
again. Well about now Tommie is hating life and logs off swearing
and cursing. When I tell my gang members about the event, they say
that they will attack him on sight. By the end of the week Tommie
was rerolled 3 times by either me or my gang members. ;)
More silly PvP Deaths
One of my gang members, who I was not so good of friends with,
was in the bank one day talking to one of the female players of the
realm. So I walk in after a hard day of scripting, and say "Hi" to
him. He says "Hey, you're a loser and I don't want you in our gang
anymore" Then this lvl 14 Warlock, dares me to go outside the Bank.
So he walks outside trying to show off for his "girl", anyways, I
sneak out and BS him. He runs south and east until he comes to the
manhole in the alley, then gossips that I am a loser and that he is
AFK. Well being a lvl 18 Ninja I just tracked him down, a quick BS
and he was history. Looking through his death pile, I decided he
owed me something for the insults, so took his Quest Weapon and
Quest Ring among other things. When he comes back he decides that
"I" was being a jerk to him and whines about it in gossips and gang
paths asking for his stuff back, saying that he had just been
joking. Bottom line is that he got killed again ;)
Bill Gates meets MegaMud
One fine evening Tommie starts to hang up and relog over and
over. The BBS that he plays has a ghosting feature that you can log
on and it will kick the ghost offline for you. After about 15
minutes it was suggested that someone had his password and was
trying to log on. He told us that he hadn't given that out to anyone
and decided to check something. Turns out that Windows had eaten his
MegaMud tray icon and thinking that he was offline opened another
session and logged on again never dreaming that he hadn't hung in
the first place. So here he is with 2 sessions of MegaMud running
kicking each other off every
15-20 seconds. Boy did we get a laugh out of that one......
Tommie meets the High-Druid
This happened quite a bit ago when the Elder Grove was added to
the game. Tommie a level 15 Paladin, with more sense of adventure
than good sense, was exploring the Elder Grove. There had been
rumours of a High-Druid, but no one knew exactly where or how to get
to him. After awhile she came to a shimmering wall and then an
arch.... Now in the back of her mind was that this was gonna be like
other areas, a few rooms in size, and that she could check the next
room before going in and that way stay out of trouble.
Wrong...saying "Go Arch" put her of course in the same room with the
High-Druid and in 2 rounds, she was dead. Needless to say she lost
all her stuff including a Bone-Handled Headcutter, since no one was
high enough to go in and recover it for her
Tommie and the Ancient Sand Dragon
Part 2
One day most of the BBS decides to have a Sand Dragon Party. A
group of about 15 people level 25-45 or so partied on out there
using MegaMud. Now sometime before some Tommies had gotten
themselves killed by the Dragon, so it was sitting in the room below
just waiting for dinner. Since it was already in that room, we
didn't bother to go in the normal way, thus missing the fact that
the other Ancient Sand Dragon (the one with about 1 hp) had regened.
When everyone was ready we dropped in and began the fight. It was
really hard to see what was happening with all the scrolling, but
when the dust cleared we had won.... badly hurt most of us, but
still alive... Well while everyone was resting since most were below
half hp, Tommie decided that she had to leave. Saying bye she climbs
out of the pit only to find out the other Sand Dragon was up there
and MegaMud was still set to attack. Needless to say this dropped
Tommie and another Ancient Sand Dragon down with all of the walking
wounded. It wasn't a pretty sight with people dying left and right.
As you can imagine Tommie was not very welcome for a while, and in
fact, she still hasn't lived this disaster down ;)
Tommie Goes AFK (Away From
Keyboard)
The top ten, second place, Tommie, left his script open for
remote commands to all users, so a bunch of us made him follow us to
the Night Hag cave in Module 2. We opened the door for him, made him
kiss us and wave us goodbye, and made him go right inside the cave.
We closed the door, and looked East a few times. After a few seconds
we saw only his gear on the floor with three bats and one night hag
on it. He came back after a few hours and was mad, and its not the
end, he had a Sunsword and Elven Silversilk that he had pulled from
the demon room on him, so I told a level 16 Mage that the 2 items
are in the Night Hag room. The Mage went there thinking he would
pick u p the stuff and go back. All he got in the end, was killed in
one round.
Rerolling Tommie
Tommie just wasn't very swift some mornings...Tired of being a
Ninja, he rerolled to a Paladin. We did not know he rerolled until
he came to meet us wearing heavy armour. Someone asked him what
happened to the Ninja and he said "reroll", or should I say
attempted to say "reroll". Suddenly he left the realm and his stuff
was at our feet! He rerolled a level 20 Ninja and ended up a level
two or three Paladin after the 2nd reroll.
Killing Tommie in a Non-PvP
Environment
When Tommie was little, he enjoyed following folks in gangs to
steal experience and being a general nuisance on a regular basis.
One day, a gang let him "find" them in Town Square; they then ran to
the switch room in the Sewers, near the Mad Wizard. With their
Cleric and Paladin dealing out heals, and their Priest doing Major
Healing Rains, they pulled the lever 15 times, killing Tommie. It
was an amusing death on a non-pvp board.
Ooops...
One time Tommie asked me, being a higher level, for advice. He
wanted to know what he should reroll to. I was in a mean mood that
day and told him that undoubtedly he should be a Dark-Elf
Camel-Rider. Of course we all know that this doesn't exist, but he
just decided that he should do what I suggested since I obviously
knew more. He rerolled without ever checking to see if it was a real
class or not.... you can imagine how angry he was when he paged me
from the Menuing System. :)
Tommie faces the Ancient Sand
Dragon
One evening, someone decided they didn't like the Ancient
Sand-Dragon much. So we were called upon to go murder the poor
thing. I (using a level thirty-two Mystic) decided to tag along. We
were to meet another group there, and we had just arrived in
Khazarad. None of us knew the way, or could be bothered looking at
maps.. so Tommie (level forty-six Warrior) decides to lead us with
good old MegaMUD. So we arrive one room before it, and everyone was
wondering how to get to it. The group we were meant to meet wasn't
in the Realm either. We soon figured it out and one by one climbed
up. Tommie arrived last, and then proceeds to immediately attack. He
had auto-attack on, as well as attack all monsters. Well we put up a
good fight, sort of. We got it to slightly wounded when I dropped
(and hung). Everyone else in our party died, and some died twice
before the day was through... and the items spilled out many rooms
away. The dragon didn't drop any chests for our efforts either. The
result of maybe ten of the top twenty dying in an hour was needless
to say infuriating; not to mention item scabs who had a field day. I
was the only person in our group who didn't die (as I had
dropped).
Gender Bending Tommies
Some time ago myself (female in and out of Mud) and another
player (a guy but playing a female in Mud) started this rumor going
that if you chose female over male when creating your character that
you got heaps more Intelligence. (Well, its plausible, we know women
really have more intelligence than men!) Needless to say, we had a
slight gender imbalance in our realm for some time after that.
Version 1.1 - The Labyrinth
When Tommie was a newbie, he made a little Warrior to run around
with. He decided he was brave (or dumb) enough to venture into the
Labyrinth. He found the Ancient Crypt and found the monsters to be
semi-easy. Feeling a little braver he wandered north. Tommie ran
across a loaded room and took off running for the exit. When he
arrived at the door, he was at about half of his hit points. In his
panicked state, he repeatedly bashed the door to escape the
following group of monsters. Due to the adrenaline rush to get out,
he didn't notice the "You take 2 damage from bashing the
door!"...nor did he notice on the last bash it said, "Tommie drops
to the ground!" Nothing like bleeding to death, from your own
stupidity
Module 4 - The Brave Little
Witchunter
One day, Tommie's gang decided to go and kill the Giant
Two-Headed Troll. Since they never had any problems killing it, they
decided to bring along Tommie, a level 11 Witchunter. When they
finally got there, after much complaining from Tommie about how
Synterm sucks, they moved to one room outside of the Black Dragon.
Then, Tommie tries to "l w" but his terminal program decided to hit
enter between "l and w". Next thing Tommie sees is "The black dragon
sprays a jet of acid at you for 175 damage!" but not before he took
out twenty-one damage with his Mithril Cutlass.
The Horned Demon
Tommie died in the Horned Demon's room and lost a Bone
Handled-Headcutter and the Holy Medallion. Not knowing that he could
just pull the lever, grab an item and then pull lever again he got
the brilliant idea to die multiple times and fill the room with
items so (hopefully) his good stuff would spill out and he could get
it. So, he equipped up and ran in. Tommie died several times, losing
six lives, and finally managing to spill his stuff out...into the
Horned Demon's treasure room.... where it has been ever since. A
re-index and floor strip don't recognize them as being in that room
or missing of course, so the only way to get them back would be a
full reset of the game.
Silly PvP Deaths
One day this Thief, Tommie, didn't really trust someone who
invited him to go somewhere, but he said yes. Tommie was about level
twenty-six and the Thief was about level twenty-two. Tommie figured
if the Thief BS'ed him, he
could just kick his butt. So the Thief brought Tommie to the Slum
Gates and, naturally, BS'ed him. Tommie ran and he followed (since
they were in a party and he typed follow Tommie). He headed for the
bank and realized that the Thief was still following him, so he
tried to uninvite him. Trying to think quickly he kept typing
"leave" (which didn't work since he was the party leader) and
spelling uninvite wrong, and in the meantime got BS'ed seven times
and died... one room away from the bank, heavy with lots of good
items he had unequipped
The Western Outpost
One day, Tommie took a group to Commander Markus. The group was a
level fifteen Witchunter, a level seven Ranger (Tommie) and another
level ten. They got halfway to Markus and Tommie got held and died.
They had just spent almost two hours getting to the halfway point
because Tommie was using his maps. They waited roughly another hour
for him to pick them back up, ...and yes he died again. So, they had
to wait even longer. Tommie finally got smart and decided to bring a
bodyguard, a level twenty Warrior. They finally got back together,
and up to Markus. They asked Tommie what to type and he tells
them...nothing happens. Tommie forgot to have them do the prequest
and they ended up wasting 5 hours doing nothing
Silly PvP Deaths
A level 22-23 Mystic at the time and a Ninja, who shall remain
nameless. Tommie was sitting in Town Square gathering a party to go
get some experience and kill some of the larger monsters of the
Realm, so Tommie invited him not knowing he wanted me dead. He
backstabbed Tommie while he was in Tommie's party, and went Fiend.
Well being the idiot that he was he never broke from the party.
Where do guards like to hang out? In the bank. Well he managed to
get a few BS's off before Tommie realized what happened and then it
was just a matter of seconds before Tommie ran into the bank, and
watching him get brutally murdered in front of Tommie
Version 1.1 - The Blood
Champion
Picture this scene...the Blood Champion had never been killed in
this game. A group went down to the Blood Champion, and were waiting
outside his room. There were seven people total. They'd just cleared
out the rooms and were one West of the Blood Champion, who's sitting
alone. Everyone is resting up from fighting a lot of priests and
stuff, suddenly Tommie decides he'll do everyone a favor and just
walk east and bring the Blood Champion back with him. With some of
the party still under half HP, and no powers ready...they were
screwed. Everyone fought it out for a bit, and a couple of them ran
east and survived. Everyone else died, thanks to Tommie
Level 31 Bard
One day Tommie was listening to a couple players in his game
gossip about whether one of them should reroll or not. Tommie,
deciding to put his two cents in types "reroll", in response...and
did. (With no suicide
password!) |
