Things I am not allowed to do in EQFollow

#1 Dec 14 2007 at 8:53 AM Rating: Excellent
This never fails to make me laugh. http://skippyslist.com/?page_id=3
If that link doesnt work for you, just google "skippy list." There is also one that takes the idea and applies it to Battlestar Galactica. Some of those are hilarious. While recently reading through his list, I realized that there are a few things I am forbidden to do while raiding or grouping with guildies in EQ.

1. Not allowed to target raid targets. My bow has a nasty habit of going off at the absolute worst time. Sometimes, autofire is not your friend.

2. I am not allowed to bid "my first born" for those items that cost more than I have in RPS.

3. I am not allowed to scout high end zones for the guild. I do NOT have SoS, no matter what my inner rogue says.

4. I am not allowed claim entire zones in the name of my guild, and then try to collect taxes from other peeps that are there.

5. I am not allowed to use: Assisting Soandso, even though he is probably gonna die, and then I will have assist the next non tanking newb in line, because the clerics are also conspiring to not heal anyone better than they are, which means just about everyone in the guild.

6. I am not allowed to offer new recruits to the guild as sacrifices to Tunare, so I can get her blessing for a successful raid.

7. I am not allowed to run up to raid targets and offer sex in exchange for letting me live. (I am a ranger, so its probably inevitable that I will die)

8. I am not allowed to attempt to snare peeps in the raid, so that I am faster than at least one person when running away. (it wont work anyway)

9. I am not allowed to use Wake the Dead on high end raids, when playing my necro. I did not know we had peeps with potential heart problems.

10. Candied Cockroaches are not suitable finger foods for EQ weddings. I wondesr if they know what white chocolate is made of.

11. I am not Indigo Montoya (spelling?), and the raid leader did not kill my father.

12. My name is not a killing word.

13. I am not allowed to taunt the raid target, so I can hurt his feelings and demoralize him/her/it.

14. I am not allowed to talk about the incident in Anguish, and the bull looking mob, ever. (Even though it was an honest mistake)

15. I am not allowed to talk about the incident in DPoB, and the bat at the entrance. (hey, it was annoying, stupid vermin)

16. I am not allowed to pull adds, in the hopes of a wipe, and then seeing the ladies naked. (I can never seem to get them completely naked anyway)

17. I am not allowed to spam the raid leader with, "are we there yet," "are we there yet,"....

18. I am not allowed to attempt to "bond" with Vish, in an attempt to gain a dragon mount.

19. I am not allowed to attempt to use Jedi Mind tricks on new recruits, or raid targets. (it doesnt seem to work anyway, even though it works on my mother in law. Maybe she is the only weak minded person I know)

There are more, but I dont want to take up too much of your time.

Harrington, Ranger, and 78th level raid killer.

Okay, you brought up the Planes.

20. I am not allowed to run around the Plane of Sky yelling, "the sky is falling, the sky is falling." (because it was only funny the first time)

21. I am not allowed, while in the Plane of Fear, to say in /rs, "be afraid, be very afraid." (for the same reason as above)

22. I am not allowed to sing the lyrics to "Enter the Sandman" in /rs while in the Plane of Nightmare. (Its ok in the plane of disease though, funny that)

23. I am not allowed to pretend I am Judge Dread in the Plane of Justice, and /shout "I am the law!!"

24. I am not allowed to run up to Saryrn and ask to do a package check.

25. When in the Bastion of Thunder, my guildies will not call me Thor, and I do not wield Mjolner.

26. While in the Plane of Innovation, I will not spend my time dancing the Robot.

27. The exploding spiders in the Plane of Innovation are not grid spiders, and I am not channeling Tron.

28. While in the Plane of Tactics, I am not allowed to use /rs to say "last one in the pit is a rotten egg."

29. While in the Plane of Earth, I am not allowed to play "whack a mole" with the moving bumps.

30. While in the Plane of Fire, I am not equipped with a +3 fire extinguisher.

31. While in the Plane of Water, I am not allowed to drop an entire backpack full of alka seltzer into the water. (its no fun anyway, since I cant find any alka seltzer, besides I was just wondering what would happen, sheesh, this was one of those pre-emptive "your not allowed")

Theres more. I dont know why. I havent even done some things they tell me I am not allowed to do. They just assume I will. I wont even go into the things I am not allowed to do with the new cannon in Steamfont (I think its there. I have only used it once).

=)

32. I am forbidden to comment on the anatomical wonders of our barbarain female guildies.

33. I am forbidden to comment on the very well rendered leather clad backsides of our wood elf female guildies. (course the way I put it is much more fun)

34. I am not allowed to suggest our froglok guildies would be of better use without their legs, and said legs roasting over an open fire. (this was one of my suggestions for great finger food for a wedding; it didnt fly)

35. I am not allowed to suggest that trolls are the end result of the clap going untreated. (even I wished I could have recalled that comment the second after I said it)

36. I am not allowed to suggest we have dwarf tossing contests with our dwarf guildies.

37. I am not allowed to set my beer on top of our gnome guildies heads. (I dont understand this one, since I dont drink anyway)

38. I am not allowed to remark upon the remarkable resemblance ogres have to my sister in law (especially the male ones), even if it is true. (this one was handed down by my wife)

39. I am not allowed to ask our high elf guildies if they have any wood elf in them, because when they say no, and I then ask if they would like some, it is not funny. (I wasnt trying to be funny though)

40. I am not allowed to suggest that trolls are my mother in laws long lost identical siblings. (this one was a stretch anyway, since trolls are far better looking)

41. I am not allowed to play with guildies corpses while they are waiting for a rez. (sigh, I wouldn't do that anyway, although it is fun placing multiple corpses in hard to explain positions, err, not that I would)

42. I am not allowed to drag corpses, period. Hey, it is not my fault that they accepted their rezzes just as Queen Sendai was doing her AE thing. Its not like multiple corpses cant be rezzed.

43. I am not allowed to feed familiars or pets choco ex lax while in the guild bath tub. Hey where do these guys come up with this stuff. I think I am just the guild patsy or something.

44. I am not allowed to channel Julia Roberts, from Pretty Woman, while in the guild bath tub. Ok, now thats just silly.

45. I am not allowed to dump ice into that bath tub in hopes of "nipply" weather. Oh my word, you all need serious help.

46. I am not allowed to sell every little last piece of trash I loot from my kills to the portal reagent merchie in the guild hall. Hehe, I still think its funny to listen to our raid leaders reaction when he is trying to buy the reagent for our next raid target location. heehee

47. I am not allowed to listen in on the raid healers channel. (I knew they were planning a conspiracy, and I have evidence, but no one will believe me)

48. I am not allowed to use the raid healer channel to say, "Blue Warrior is gonna die," "Blue Warrior is gonna die," "Wow, with this bunch, Blue Warrior is screwed."

49. I am not allowed to channel Conal McCloud on raids, because the object of a raid is for everyone to survive, not just me. but..."There can only be ONE!!!!"

50. I am not allowed to blame my oopsies, boo boos, or my bads, on my wicked step mother Hera. (why is it so hard to beleive that I am who I say I am)

51. I am forbiden to use Lesson of the Devoted when in a raid situation. (Okay, now all those instances were just really bad coincidences (sp?).

52. I am forbidden to use Lesson of the Devoted on the same day as a raid. (I am not the only one that experiences these coinkadinks)

53. I am not allowed to say in /rs "Game off, car coming" in the middle of a raid encounter. (it was only funny the first time, and I admit, it wasnt even funny to me that time)

54. I am not allowed to dress up guildies pets in cute little sweaters from the pet shop. (where do you guys get this stuff)

55. Kill them all and let Tunare sort them out is not a good raid strategy.

56. I am not allowed to run up to Tunat, and yell "Go fly a kite."

57. I am not allowed to refer to Terris Thule as "that goth chick."

58. I am not allowed to suggest surnames. (well, none of mine would make it through the filter anyway, so whats the big deal)

59. I am not allowed to ask if I can do a package check on the cute female guildies to see if they are women in RL. OH come on, some very embarrassing situations can be avoided with an ounce of prevention.

60. I am not allowed to refer to our Troll main tanks rear end as "a remarkable resemblence to my sister in laws senior yearbook picture." Even if it is true. (my wife refuses to see the truth, even when it is right in front of her)

61. In RL, I am not allowed to scream, "Grummus is incoming!!" when my mother in law comes over. (this one I an understand since Grummus doesnt have my address anyway)

62. Similar to number 61, I am not allowed to shout, "Oh my Tunare, its Inny," when my sister in law comes to visit.

63. In RL, I am not allowed to refer to my sister in laws house as Castle Crushbone. Hey, if you saw her kids running around that place, you would see the resemblence too.

Former and current Military members will get a laugh from some of these.........I pulled a few of the stunts on hear when I was in...lol



Explanations of these events:
a) I did myself, and either got in trouble or commended. (I had a Major shake my hand for the **** bottle thing, for instance.)
b) I witnessed another soldier do it. (Like the Sergeant we had, that basically went insane, and crucified some dead mice.)
c) Was spontaneously informed I was not allowed to do. (Like start a **** studio.)
d) Was the result of a clarification of the above. (“What about especially patriotic ****?”)
e) I was just minding my own business, when something happened. (“Schwarz...what is *that*?” said the Sgt, as he pointed to the back of my car? "Um....a rubber sheep...I can explain why that's there....")

Heehee, this is still going? I didnt want to include the things I am not allowed or forbidden to do in the military, because I have been in for over 21 years, and have accumulated so many. Add to that 5+ years of college, and a career in banking, and food service. Plus 13 years of marriage. Pretty long list. But hey, those really wouldnt belong in this forum anyway.
