IRE Asks: When was your last noob mistake?
When you were a bright-eyed newbie with this new world in front of you, you undoubtedly made some honest mistakes. Maybe you kicked someone's camel, or hit a room trap. It's perfectly fine to make those mistakes as they offer a learning experience and we move on, vowing never to repeat them. Of course, sometimes we make a mistake so ridiculous that even a novice would probably know better. This is called a "noob moment", that brief moment in time when you thought it'd be a good idea to have your shop keys out in the open as you explored the undead catacombs.
Rage towards a Death Knight can turn inwards when you realize you never put defences up, and just who the heck remembers their crystal tattoo? We thought they were a myth. Instead of crying about it, try laughing it off and sharing your dunderhead moment with us. We promise we'll be laughing with you!

The REPLY command gets me all the time. I'll be having a private conversation with a friend, when someone slips me a tell right before I send my reply. Gah! Mis.
I know the pain
Worst moment was when I was talking about the current political standing in my city, accidently forgot the l in tell, sent it to a completly different person instead. It still happens to me alot as well.
I do the opposite - I don't
I do the opposite - I don't use REPLY but TELL SUCHANDSO and still occasionally mis-send tells to the enemy I was talking about rather than the person I was talking to! So embarassing.

Same for me, I never use reply or just the person's name for a tell, but quite a few times I've been talking about someone to someone else and end up sending a tell to the person I'm talking about.. always extremely awkward.

same here
Not only on the tell/reply mistake but all with the channels such as city/commune/clans. Once Lehki (forgive me but I have to say it) was having an intimate moment with his wife and he accidently sent the text as a commune channel rather than in an emote. Blind...

Not REPLY
I don't use reply, but I'm always TELLing people the wrong things. I very often tell AMEroth (enemy) something I mean to tell AMEthyst (ally)...
Me too
I tell enemies stuff all the time. Oops.

This is why you should always use the full name.

True. I make this mistake constantly.
Learned it after the first time
I stopped using the reply command after it got me the first (and only) time, and I'm always glad I did.
it is a hard habbit to break.
it is a hard habbit to break.
Eh?
I can't say I've ever done that, but I've had HUNDREDS of people send me things they meant to SAY, on accident, and more than once have they been rather embarassing. In the mean time, I constantly send things to people who's names start with B, as I use BW instead of QW and am sometimes quick with the spacebar.

aye, reply just got me again last night. Though in this case, I was complaining about something to a friend and forgot to put reply in front of the tells. It started with so, and I mistelled to Sohl hehe.

Deaf to the world
...I, uh, forgot to touch my mindseye tattoo again after bursting, once, and so had no idea that the Divine standing in front of me was talking to me until he rolled his eyes and walked away.
Happened to me, too
Back when there was that finding Stian promotion, I had a rather similar noob moment. Before heading out, I was hunting some fire wyrm in the Nuskuwe caves, and didn't bother curing deafness. The next day I wanted to just enter, find Stian and head out again, so I only put up selfishness (never go anywhere without it). The first part of the task was going to the inn in Thera to get a hint, so I went there and asked about him, just to get no response. I tried it again and again and was almost about to file a bug report when someone entered and said something. For some reasons, there is no deafness message if a denizen says something to you... I was so embarrassed because I thought someone might have seen me spamming "Stian".
This
I ignore so many people because I forget to touch mindseye sometimes.
Oh the IRONy
I too often walk around blind or deaf without touching my mindseye only to get poked or hugged and realize my foolish ways.

Walk into Hashan while being enemied
I had a mapper set up to use and get around more quickly. Well, one day i became enemied to Hashan, and my mapper decided to take me through the city because it was quickest. Needless to say, I walked right into a totem and 3 swami guard types... Ultra dead.

Going AFK in my house in the city
I will never live that one down... that was very noob of me... got robbed of over 140K worth of stuff... my city suddenly hated me and I just dunno what I was thinking or how I got so distracted, but yeah for many hours I remained AFK in my subdivision house. I have also accidentally killed kittens and instead of sending a tell to my dad about my boyfriend at the time sent it to my boyfriend instead XD stuff like that... I do seem to have quite alot of those blonde moments.

Think my system has lost its connection when I can't attack a denizen only to realize I never entered all the targets the alias requires. Wind up standing there like an idiot blaming my perfectly good connection for getting beat up while I do nothing. Actually I dont think that was really me that did that, hehe
I have a solution for this
simple code on my mudlet attack alias:
if target1 == nil then
cecho("<cyan>Nil target.") else
send("attack "..target1) end
just replace 'attack' with your hunting/bashing attack (but leave the space after, before the closing ") and target1 should be your hunting/bashing target variable.

Mistells between clans is my common one. I think the worst one was me bemoaning the fact that people kept giving my pet monkey panties. Instead of bemoaning on the right clan, I mistelled it to the Mhaldorian council clan.. when the then Tyrannus Wulfen was around.. bah

Mapper woes
I had an error with my mapper that didn't save my blacklisted areas and I ended up running into Glomdoring by accident. I managed to get out of there, but someone attacked me while I was in and that gave them avenger-free rights to kill me. The system I was running had no curing to speak of, so I pretty much just keeled over and died to them. It was so embarrasing :(

Having just started, more or less, on serpent class and thieving I find that I make a lot of these n00b mistakes. One that I did a couple of times, in the heat of the moment, is forgetting to suggest people remove items before giving them to me...but I mean, starting off thieving do you really expect perfection?
The other problem is that I have to take breaks occasionally (because I'm a graduate student) and I tend to forget aspects of my skills. Deridius pointed out to me one day that you could envenom weapons by secreting onto them with transecretion...I felt like an idiot.

- Thank you! Your idea has been submitted. -
... Oh, ffs.
Lol
That's hilarious.
Yes, that is funny :)
Yes, that is funny :)
Not mine
But I love it when people forget what alt they're on:
(Ashtan): Example says, "Hihi Shallam!"
(Shallam): Example says, "Hail, Mhaldor."
These crack me up.

This is why alts are bad.
One time I was hunting in
One time I was hunting in Azdun and found some key, used it to open a door, and found a talking statue thing. It told me to give it the key and I would get something. Thinking it was a quest or something, I did so, and it..ate it. The door locked behind me :(
When?
I manage a mistell at least once per login
me too
so do I
Everyone does..
A thumbrule is to never use the first 3 letters -> FULL NAME!

Mistells are terrible. I also keep making the mistake of thinking that spending time on Achaea "won't take that long."
cringe-worthy
I was so distracted during a raid that I veildelivered my wings to the raider rather than the citizen who wanted to borrow them. Awkward!
Lusternia / Life
I skipped out on a museum tour for the Terra Cotta warriors because I thought an event was today.
health vial
Stopped hunting because I ran out of health. Went to do something else and forgot to refill. Went back to hunting. Whoops.
Too awesome
I don't make noob mistakes, oh no. Well, I mischan'd once, but it was a slip from CT to CLT which is pretty easy. And that problem has been fix'd.
Whoops
Talked about sonar over city. That was shameful. Oh, and putting a present full or kirigami into the Flame. Whoops.
Mine was pretty bad. I had
Mine was pretty bad. I had somewhere around 200k+ in my pack but it was about to decay so I'd gotten another one. I didn't notice that I accidently put my gold back in the one I was about to feed to a humgii.. and... well. Goodbye gold, goodbye pack. Still can't believe I did that. Been on Aet since 2003! You'd think I'd have learned!
Last Mistake?
No such thing as a last mistake! I'm always doing noob things. I suppose the one that sticks out in my mind is using eagle's wings to escape after I had just gotten away from being proned by a totem and then getting proned again. Old habits die hard. Luckily the guy was not paying attention to finish me off. Whew! I hate totems :(
my last noobie mistake was embracing the alchemist class >.<
yep my noobie mistake was embracing the alchemist class now i only have 300 lessons for monk at level 50

Nametell
To be fair - I'm an Aetolia noob.
But I had no idea that there was such a thing as nametell. Not a clue. So I set up a few of my standard two-three letter aliases, and when I use them, suddenly I'm talking to people!
I've since turned the thing off. I can take the time to "tell <person>" when in a non-stressful situation much easier than I can afford to relearn aliases that I'll need to use quickly in combat, thanks.
Also, deffing up selfishness
Also, deffing up selfishness off burst. WHY DID I DO THAT?

Yea..my tells alwys get me >.<
Ship trade...
Not exactly a noob mistake, but probably a noob moment... Miscalculated the amount of goods I had to buy in Shastaan and noticed my mistake when I had already done most of the trade route- I was short of one armament. Next month, I bought another bunch of sandstone, sailed to Tasur'ke, traded, sailed to Karbaz, sailed to Minos, noticed I forgot to trade, facepalmed, sailed back to Karbaz... Curse you, shiptrade. Curse you!
Jeramun
Narrowly surviving Jeramun when I was a monk and then getting excited to get away and finger hitting the wrong key to move on the numpad. I got annihilated :( One hit wonder that time! hah!

Shift.
I didn't know a shift was a piece of clothing.
Look-ed at a dryad to see her wearing a shift. Submitted a bug report thinking it was a spelling mistake.
When I was told otherwise, I submitted another saying "I REALLY think you missed the R key and hit F instead."
Next message back was just "HELP SHIFT". I think I squeaked IRL that day.

mischans
I've had quite a bit of mischan mistakes. I've tried to tone it down, but it still happens. One of my favorites was during a Vengeance game, mistelling to CTELL(city aether) instead of VTELL(assassin aether). Whoops! Fortunately it was a hidden name game, so no one could take advantage of it, and the assassins ended up winning ^_^
gender mistakes
the biggest mistake I ever make is when sitting at Entry to Merchants in Ashtan, someone walks by and, being nice, I greet them, and ask "how're you doing, ma'am/sir" ... half the time I say the wrong pronoun and they either laugh ... or they slap, cuff, thump, hop, wield/throw useless item, etc. Quite amusing, but it's a mistake I constantly make
buying a scroll
I bought a scroll and used it, not realizing it wasn't fully charged. It poofed in my hands :(
aww
Sucks?
Sigh
I fell into the pit at forestwatch.
Doesn't sound that nooby, but I've hunted there every day since I've been level 30ish, maybe. Forgetting to drink levitation is just insulting.
Multitasking
Having at least two conversations via housetell/ tells while also being distracted IRL and not noticing some weak denizen walking in and killing me.
Damnit
logged off while in a lockable room and now being unable to leave cos the ones with the key aint about,
Zylo, Vanko let me out pleeease
Finally out
After 2-1/2 RL days and about 20 IG days locked in a room (still no-one knows who did it) im finally out...about damned time.
Thanks to Astalon who tepeported me out
I accimadentally mades a mistak
Same old miss different day
LIke..?
What?
killed myself
Took a worm warp with led to kasmarkin. Kasmarkin was down. Instant death. Toyed with the idea of snapping an enemy into doing the same thing but dismissed the idea after I realized I don't have any enemies that can also worm warp.
they are not newb
they are not newb mistakes...they are ADVENTURES!!
Oops?
I've accidently killed my hunting party back when I was an occultist and tried to fling cards at them to cure them. Sorry!
sileris
Every once in a while I forget you are supposed to apply sileris, not eat it, then wonder what happened.
I really need to not log in until I have at least one cup of coffee in the mornings.
Cassandra
Was walking around exploring Arcadia aimlessly and walked up some tower. Saw a healer and was spamming the greet command when she proceeded to absolutely annihlate me.
Languages
With almost every other tell I send, it somehow manages to be in the only tongue the recipient won't understand.

The 100s of times I've left a raid in Mhaldor to go get refills somewhere else because... well its Mhaldor and lolrefills to immediately wings and be like oh yeah that's the whole enemy raid group, hi. This was maybe acceptable when I was Infernal and had no other way to get back that quick, but really Hat? As a magi? Come now self what the heck.
The one time
The one time I sold a bunch of credits at 4500 instead of 5400... LUCKILY... My best friend happened to buy them hehe! So being so awesome as she is she sold them back to me.
I have lost minerals
by not rifting them... it hurt me.
Now.
Now.
I punched some guy's pet once.
And its owner was standing right there! Of course he talked me down and told me to PROBE anything first before bashing.
It's something I do to this day, even though it's obvious it's a pet.
Design
I was absent for a while so my latest noob mistake was yesterday, trying to craft I accidently removed the description for a sword sketch, replacing it with one for a spear....it hurt a little

Hitting rebounding with Voyria, and realizing that I wasn't carrying an immunity vial.
early on
When I bought my first new set of armor I forgot to wear it and thought it was a piece of junk I picked up. I fed it to a humgii.
Newb Mistake?
Board newb mistake - double post.
Newb Mistake?
Prythe is 283 years old and keeps venturing into Eleusis with a repeat "kill" in mind, and has attacked an Eagle (sorry, Eagle!) which doubles as a "Giant" as well as the Gatekeeper, who happens to be a "Man."
Targetting is nice, but sometimes, less so.
On a side note, when I was a newbie, that type of "mistake" would not have been handled so pleasantly. Thankfully folks have become more forgiving, even without the RP environment.

Forgot to put the name of the person I was TELLing and ended up telling someone whose name started with the first letter of my message. Whoops.

Setting up a trigger for curing, eat 100 pennyroyal by accident. Derp.
orb
Needed to buy a shimmering orb. Accidently bought an orb sigil because I just did 'buy orb' instead of looking at ID number.
I've done that so many times... sometimes I wonder if shopkeepers bin the orb sigils first on purpose.
no enchants?
I think the last noob mistake I made, I forgot to recharge my enchantments and found myself quite irritated when all my charges ran out leaving me with no enchants. on top of that I couldn't find an enchanter for almost a week so I had to suffer for my noobness . lol
I embedded retardation after
I embedded retardation after we propped and a huge group hit us, I did some things, flew, then landed back down to do more melee things..then remembered that we were on enemy defendable and there was a totem :( I didn't die, but I wasted time tumbling bc of those out of room already recovered and shooting, etc.

Last time I mudsexed, I forgot to check if it was a dude or not first.
Man, was I disappointed and ashamed. I had to apologize to her.

I'm pretty new to Aetolia, so I still make a lot of blunders syntax-wise - just not knowing what command does what.

I don't make mistakes
I am perfect.... no just kidding I make mistakes I am sure... like walk around with torturous metal panties and forget to wear anything over them?
Bashing triggers were off
I wasn't standing up automatically anymore, was following my Fiance around and next thing Lord Kemnast killed me three times in a row... Ouch
I had a rogue, he was transed
I had a rogue, he was transed in fencing, subtlety, tailoring and smithing. I wanted to soldier, so I quit all four and used the lessons to go soldier, transed my newsoldier skillet and realised whoops, wrong state build. You are now useless, a dex\con soldier. So I once again quit class only to have a rogue with only half his skills and no crafting abilities. I should have just coughed up for the stat reset. Best thing about it was one week later, stats were changed and I got a free reset lol.
Right now
It seriously just happened!
Icewynd

Last night I forgot I didn't have heatsight and saw only one enemy on squint and charged our team in. Suffice to say...there were a LOT of hidden people. :/
