Just showing love to those PCs who love to spread chaos and evil amongst the rank of heros. Cant be good without evil. If you have a moment and the person playing the PC doesnt mind, share a story of wickedness of that PC.

I sold out the "universe" of Ashbury to get back two magic weapons and the whole time knowing that these guys were going to curse the weapon...Woohoo for Entropy and the great RP that ensued.
 
My character is not evil so I cant reveal any stories, he is an opportunist.
 
Old HQ story:

Brighthawk deciding to join the Kanordhil, and the big reveal battle that happened 12 years ago when she showed up and deathed the crap out of Mystic Wood Elves who were formally her best friends..this led to a crazy long letter to her from Talin Gildenlily, and a whole lot of people who would gank that character if she ever came back.

because my sister is evil. :lol:

While surrounded by the entire town, dropped and proceeded to kill the only dwarf in Ashbury who could complete the ritual and close the arch. Then proceeded to still dupe the PC's during the ensuing battle with the following routine:

*Walk up next to a PC*
Me: "Who are we fighting?"
PC: "That guy."
Me: "OK," then I take a step back and hit the PC on the shoulder "Waylay!"
PC: "What?"
Me: "Waylay, on you. Go down!"
PC drops

I would then be dropped by a PC witnessing this action but another PC who didn't see it would come along and heal me. At which point, I'd jump up and thank them and when they turned around, I'd waylay them. Did this about 7 times before Duke Aramis dropped me, imprisoned me and I bled out to the circle.

Now granted, I was under a domination effect the entire time but it was still HIGH-Larious My first trip to Ashbury and I nearly muck up a season+ long plotline.

That was a good event! :D

Sorry you didn't make the novelization.

It's ok. and you have absolutely no need in the slightest with trepidation to be worried that I'll exact some sort of revenge at the national game in September.

Honest.
 
Well, I had a high orc that was the first deputy in Chicago. He sold out a fellow player to the big bad vampire (Targus, for those who've been here), in exchange for getting a high orc artifact back that the vampire's minions had stolen, setting her up to be kidnapped to do things for him.

Sadly, the high orc was caught, and got executed (and permed in the process).

Yea...my head hurt a lot during that...But I honestly don't remember if I needed a life spell.

You didn't (I'm assuming you were the dwarf - sorry so long ago).

What happened is that as you started to mend the stone, a bad guy came out the arch. Everyone turned to look at him and as they did, I dropped you to the ground. I then looked at the biata holding the stone tablet in place and the look of stark shock and terror was priceless. I paused for a moment because no one reacted to me hitting you with the assassinate but I then bent over and began a killing blow, at which point it was interrupted and I was beat down by the group, had my dagger taken from me and told to leave. I went outside, saw Mike there, asked for a small weapon (which he gave me) and I ran back in to cause more michief.

I do have to admit though one of my favorite things was rezzing in the circle and having the duke apologizing profusely for killing me. My character figured he was a nut (I was a stranger in town who tried to kill his townfolk and end his ritual - I SHOULD have been killed) but I decided to bilk his guilt for 10 gold. Apparently that's the price of a life in Ashbury (at the time at least) :)
 
Aramis was a softy. Frost would have stuffed you in the Arch with the griffons and sealed you in.

No, no, that's pretty much the current going rate. 10 gold per rezz plus 25 if it's the final death.

Or, you know, so I've heard.

Funny that, I've heard the same thing.
 
Yeah, I'd like to make a comment on this.

"Hooray for the villain PC with the good sportsmanship!"

Too often, I have run games and been in them, where the "evil" characters are maladjusted sociopaths who are there merely to ruin the game for others. Attacking other PC's for no reason, stealing from others and then whining when you geaught, etc. Having had someone in another larp kill my PC for no good reason (except because he thought it was funny), and then drop out of game the next day laughing about it, was crappy.

If you're going to play evil, be prepared to get shunned by the other PC's, not brought on mods, etc. No one wants to work their butts off just to have the Heckel and Jeckel of annoying gamers blow a plot you've worked years on.

In other words, be a Nigel. Don't be a Mikhael of Balen. Bring spice to the game, but take what happens to you with good sportsmanship.

I am fortunate enough to never have encountered such people. The only time I have even remotely encountered this was from online games I used to play

I never said playing a villain is easy. I just think that PC villains give a great dimension to the game. Plot is flexible enough to know that not everyone is a goody goody. What bothers me is players who shun other players because one of their characters did something evil and they cant seperate the player from the PC. If a villain PC has proper motivation or reasoning to ruin the culmination of your work, it is within their right to stop you, or foil you. Most villains dont see themselves as villains afterall.

Of course. There is no action without consequence. And in the end, it's just a game =)
 
I think it was my second game, ever, and I was taken on a mod when one of our players was hit with a beserk, and then someone else cut him down. I was encouraged to heal him up - but I was not experienced enough to realize that the beserk would be still active on this guy. The player, once healed up, went beserk and started throwing necro.

OOG, the player had forgotten that the beserk (old rules) would not have him casting necro unless he would cast necro when not beserked. He took it well when, IG, he was brought up on charges of being a necromancer, and suffered a death.

Sam went on to become one of the big bad PCs that changed the plot arc for several games to come because he was now a necromancer in the eyes of all the folks in town - thrown out of the Order of Light (Healer's guild in Caldaria) - turned informant and spy - and later went on to become a Plot NPC.

This is one of the best examples of good sportsmanship I have ever seen.

it was also the first of many "naive" discoveries of necromancy my character has made over the years, earning him the unnoficial title of "Discoverer of Necromancy".

I'm all for, if you mess up and they catch you its all good as well as if they are good enough to figure it all out, but not when they do a Biata mind trick on the cow in the woods to find out what happened (BTW this has never happened, but it is an on going joke).

I am in total agreement with Chris here. I was playing WoW with a friend. I was trying to join the guild he was in when one of the leaders said to him (all of us play/played Alliance), "Gilwing? Like Gilwing from NERO?, You can't trust him." My friend said "We are talking about Dave B, in WoW, not NERO"
