Massive Accidental Character Breaks (Embarassing!)
Oh my god...
I was playing today in between working on some documents and accidentally pasted and spoke a half wall of subjects I was studying through my character... In a populated area, doing a quick character-focused RP with people I don't normally RP with...
My character speaks in the third person a lot, has a weird name, and I type like poo-poo often (must be getting old or something) so I take advantage of copy+paste a lot... But I almost feel reluctant to after this last incident...
This has to have happened to almost everyone at some point but I had to vent about it... Feel like a doof.
Words of advise or consolation? Get guud & type fast? I'm on the suck it up bit now..!

Mistakes happen to everyone! I wouldn't sweat it.

Re: Massive Accidental Character Breaks (Embarassing!)
I have... I think meta'd myself a couple of times while in disguise like an idiot. Additionally...
I like to use the quote style of emoting so I narrate my characters usually by typing their name first. Ester does this, Elysian does that, etc etc.
Once or twice, when switching from one character I've been playing for awhile to another, I've instinctively used the name of the last character I was on rather than the character I'm on now, and it never fails to make me feel stupid.
As a side note, Arelith has ruined my typing. I almost impulsively want to end every statement I make with a quotation mark now.

My big blunder we where in a drow hunt years back. Then I got a tell from someone. Now I thought I clicked his icon to send a tell back and quickly wrote and hit enter. Only to blurt out the tell in character. Little did I know a JJ the server owner of that time was looking at our RP and jumped in when it happened to give a sern talk to and RPR drop me from 20 to 10.

I felt my imaginary RPR drop to 0... Hahahah.Ozzy.nl wrote: ↑Thu Jan 13, 2022 12:31 pmMy big blunder we where in a drow hunt years back. Then I got a tell from someone.

Yeah that sounds like a good one, too. Makes feel a little bit better...

You know how "w" and "s" are very close to each other on the keyboard? And they don't suddenly get farther apart because you're playing a soft-spoken, reserved character?
It was sheer luck that what I was trying to whisper wasn't anything important, but I nearly reflex-rolled to have her "die of mortification" all the same.

Re: Massive Accidental Character Breaks (Embarassing!)
The worst ones I have are when I fat-finger the [enter] key when I am actually trying to type a ['] or a ["] and post my post before I'm done correcting grammatical errors or even finished typing....
OH or when my brain decides to replace a word I'm trying to type with one that looks or sounds similar. Happens all the freaking time.

Re: Massive Accidental Character Breaks (Embarassing!)
Everyone have their own embarrassing stories about stuff they accidentally said in public when it was meant to be a Tell. It happens, its embarrassing for sure, and it passes. Really dont sweat over it.

Re: Massive Accidental Character Breaks (Embarassing!)
Of this I am sure, and it is passing... Thank you. But to clarify it was a semi critical moment for my character plus it was like;AstralUniverse wrote: ↑Fri Jan 14, 2022 8:37 amEveryone have their own embarrassing stories about stuff they accidentally said in public when it was meant to be a Tell.

"Ohhhh....?! TITLE / TITLE / TITLE / TITLE / TITLE / TITLE / TITLE / TITLE / TITLE / TITLE / TITLE / TITLE"
And then it auto sent in front of a bunch of characters because I also copied a line break... Hahahah.
Pretty sure a member of my faction in the distance emoted about looking at me weird, too. Almost over it, almost..
Re: Massive Accidental Character Breaks (Embarassing!)
When I first started on Arelith I played only the one same character for like a year. When I made my first alt I said “Hello, my name is (Wrong Name)!” … several times

It could be worse... I've sent portions of text out on work e-mail using an IC accent that I just got too used to typing in >.<

Re: Massive Accidental Character Breaks (Embarassing!)
This is gonna sound fake, but I swear to God I've done this... no joke, there were times back in high school when, sleep-deprived after staying up way too late RPing on NWN, instead of just laughing when a friend at school said something funny, I legit started to say "Laughs" out loud. As though I was typing an emote.
I'm not sure I've ever been so self-critical as in the moments after I unintentionally said an emote out loud in RL.

When this writing style phenomenon hit arelith, it hit me hard lol. I feel so wishy washy about how i want to rp now
Re: Massive Accidental Character Breaks (Embarassing!)
One that happened more recently than I'm willing to admit:
When asked why I was so much shorter than the other gnomes (I'm a forest gnome):
"I'm not a rock gnome, I'm a garden gnome!"

Re: Massive Accidental Character Breaks (Embarassing!)
Happened to me once, the crowd went along and started calling my character the wrong name that I had introduced for my character.

my best one was a missed whisper in the meeting hall that went as a shout with the person we were talking about, in the middle of trying to talk their way out of their mistakes as a guard. My screen lit up with lol from everyone present
