Title: Funniest Thing you ever saw on CoX
Post by: corvus1970 on December 04, 2012, 01:53:00 AM
Does what it says on the tin :D

I've seen a great many funny things on CoX over the years, many of which revolve around hilarious player-creations. Two spring to mind immediately:

* A character made using the "huge" template, wearing a T-Shirt, short-shorts, and slippers, wearing a plain, white helmet one could describe as "special". His name? "Danger To Self"

* A  whole team of huge, blonde dudes wearing tank-tops, and all sporting one of the MANY names of David Ryder from an episode of MST3K. Their names, Fridge Largemeat, Slake Fistcrunch, Punch Rockgroin, Slate Slabrock, Crunch Buttsteak, and Smoke Beefmuscle. As they gathered in Atlas around Lady Liberty, they began to loudly talk of going off to punch lesser men, VERY heterosexually. I think a newbie or two decided to beat-feet and fled the scene *lol*

I have screen-caps of the second group on the list, should anyone wish to see the spectacle for themselves. Unfortunately, I don't seem to have one for "Danger To Self" :D

The funniest thing?

Seeing "Smokey Robinson" superhero superjumping from the transit station.  Dressed rather nattily as if he was going to go on stage.

He was taking a break from his singing career.

I logged out one night up on the spire in Ouro where the marker was to get access to the Ouro portal power.  When I logged in next time a character looking exactly like Frankenstein was standing by me.  Just totally cracked up me.

A few of them:

One character hanging around under Atlas statue dressed in prison stripes talking incessantly on a cellphone.  Toon name:  Paris Hilton

One character (I can't find the screenshot) was a fire blaster.  His bio said his powers came from eating bean burritos, and advised heroes teaming with him to carry a roll of toilet paper.

The best one:  busty female character costumed in steampunk theme, looking very much like a Wild-West brothel madam.  Toon name:  Westward Ho.

There was Dr. Forrester (from MST3k) right next to the Aeon Bulding in Grandville that was pretty spot on.
There was good old Jenkins from the original Breakout Cov Tutorial...."I'll never give up the name of <your villain name>"
There was the Frostfire bit where one of his cronies parrots him ("yeah!") and Frostfire turns arounds, says "shut up" and ices him.
Possibly the funniest was anything Flambeaux said in the new Twinshot/Shining Stars intro story arc.

CoH's ragdoll physics.  And their complete lack of any resemblance to real physics.

Case in point:

I once was on a mission against the Family, on a Kin/Electric Brute.  One of the Kin brute's powers is Repulsing Torrent, which is long ranged, a targeted cone, and delivers ridonkulous levels of knockback, especially slotted for additional knockback.  I had fun with it.

One Button Man, he had his back to me, standing around punching his fist.  It was an Office map.  Above me, a balcony.  Ahead, a wall separating the hallway we were in from a breakroom with a vending machine.

I say hello in the form of Repulsing Torrent.  Button Man goes flying, gets stuck in the wall for a moment.  I run over to hit him, but he pops out of the wall, and somehow gets launched about fifteen feet into the air, onto the railing of the balcony, where he lays for a while, doing about 3 barrel rolls in the process.

He finally comes to 'rest' and starts to get up, but the animation of getting up causes him to fall off the balcony.  He lands head-first and gets stuck in the floor, like a cartoon ostrich.

Now, I'm laughing my rear off here, but I have a demonic idea.  I didn't let him get up.  I decided to launch him at the wall again, using Repulsing Torrent.  If you thought it was funny up until now, you haven't heard anything yet.

The Button Man hits the wall and glitches through.  The glitching physics squeeze him like a grapeseed out of the other side of the wall, and he careens head-first into the vending machine, positioned just perfectly so his head looked like it had been jammed into the dispenser slot, with his body slumped behind it.

I cackled so hard that I fell out of my chair, and couldn't get to the screenshot key fast enough to screenie it before the mafioso got up, sadly.

Still, I smacked an overdressed goon through a wall and into a vending machine.  Consider that one written off my bucket list.

Funniest things from game content for me have to include cutscenes such as the Clockwork King's plan to protect Penelope Yin from IIRC " ...heroes, villains, boys...  You'll be my little Clockwork Princess forever!"

In-game, lots of funny things, but my fave is still my pal @kavik (maybe on his Capt Kentucky tanker) in a rescue mission telling the NPC in local "Come with us if you want to live!"  and by god it was hilarious when the NPC immediately jumped to it to follow him out.  He'd gotten the timing just right!

Particularly the occasional effect where (like the clips interspersed in the end credits of the movie Buffy the Vampire Slayer), a defeated mob would lie there twisted up... then spasm into a new position... again... and again, like a movie extra who couldn't stay still as a corpse, until they finally faded out. And I'll have to go back through my screenshots and see if I can dig up some of my old "entertaining corpse position" images.

This didn't happen often, but as far as I know, still occured all the way to the end.

There's nothing like working your way through an instanced mission and running into another team. This was from September 2004.

I liked Skull and Hellion 'idle chatter' the most.

"When are you gonna finish breaking into the car?"

But to me the funniest thing I ever saw was, and you had to hunt him down, the King of Skulls.  He was in King's Row, hiding behind one of the buildings, usually between one of the long ones and the War Wall along the side that connected to Skyway.  A Skull that actually got away with a purse.  He was there, clutching it tightly, looking around in complete paranoia and muttering "I can't believe I got away with it."  Poor bastich was so surprised about getting the purse I never saw him actually look inside.

One of my favorite characters to run into on Triumph back in the day was Naked Mole Rat.  Huge, pink, ran around in underwear, and could improvise conversations for hours on end with everything coming from him sounding like it came straight from a Tick comic.  He was always good for a laugh and guaranteed to brighten our day.

I remember this one time I was on an ITF, and we decided to hit the console and both the AV's up top at the same time, and all of the meks wound up activating at the same time, I don't know how.  Anyway, needless to say the three tanks in the party had their hands full for a while.  It was a hoot.

I also remember a team where I faceplanted pretty soon after the front door, and someone said, "Wait, don't hospital!  You're the new team mascot!"  He then proceeded to recall me around the map for vengebait, all the while I was cheering from the floor.  He'd shout something like, "Hold on, we need to get fired up for this one!" then recall me with venge q'd up, and then shout, "Yeah!  Team spirit!"  That was a good team.

I also remember an ITF where Heat Guard and I were keeping count of our dirt naps.  He wound up ahead by six, in the end, although I'll be damned if I remember how.  Probably just dove straight into the exploding crystals, the cheater.

That would go along with the occasional snatch of conversation you'd run into that went something like "No, I'm telling you, he _got_ the purse!"

Although I still think the funniest deliberate line in the game is from the 'Find source of Freaks' weapons' mission:

"I assure you, my good man, Nemesis is most certainly 'down with the street'. Word up, my homey, as it were."

[NPC] Freakshow Student: D00d, thanks for the save. I happen to like my face and having it torn off would suck.

[NPC] Short Fang: So he says to Ghost Widow, 'No, go screw yourself.' She just fixes him with this cold glare and puts her hand through his chest. Loser died. No teleporter, no nothin'. Spookiest thing I ever saw...

[NPC] Luddite Friar: Well, science has invoked many ills upon society...
[NPC] Luddite Brawler: Does this mean I have to throw away my PSP?

[NPC] Ben: I'm hoping they come up with a Healix action figure! She deserves it!

Second funniest thing was not a single instance but a whole mission.

Redside. I'm on a low level SS/Invulnerable Brute.

I go in the mission ... and there's no one there.

I walk through the entire mission without encountering a single baddie. Get to the hostage who's cowering from ... nothing.

I click on him and he follows me out.

No ambush. Nothing.


Leave the mission without encountering a single enemy.

It's like they knew I was coming and decided to skip the beating for once! :D

Eden Trial. Virtue, The Dawn Enterprises Coalition (The Dawn Academy, Fennec Enterprises, Paragon Gris Gris)

I shall never forget it.

We were in the last room, full of DE Crystals.  One player on Kyria Shirako (Fire/Shield Scrapper) and one on Xarthax the Destroyer (Electric/Fire Scrapper) forged ahead of the group.  In a hilarious display of true scrapper power...  Shield Charge + Lightning Rod into masses of DE.  They would *shatter* hordes of them! I was laughing so hard as they cleared the room I couldn't move my character to help mop up. Little itty bitty pieces of DE exploding out and raining down.

The other one isn't a TF; it's just one particular mission where the mission holder automatically gets a Kronos Titan ambush wherever they are when the mission is exited, so you can tailor where the Kronos spawns by having the mission holder move to where you want the ambush to occur before the mission completes, then you just have someone in the mission exit and *BAM*. I did something like that once, where I did the pre-ambush mission solo, invited a friend to team, then passed them the star so they could fill out the team (this was pre-league) before I exited, so we could all get the badge.

QuoteSlightly less impressively, me and a frost tank once baited Paladin all over King's Row, culminating in the thing winding up on the hospital roof before it jumped off and was droned to death.

I would periodically get bored with seeing three Paladins down in the hollow behind the building where the KR mayhem/safeguard bank was, and learned how to aggro one at a time with a Blaster and drag them up to the drones at the tunnel to Galaxy City without getting killed in the process so that the Paladin spawn event could reset.

I really hope there's a screenshot of that somewhere (or even better, a demorecord too).  I would Rikit roll everyone and just laugh at their response,even if they didn't get it. ( ' : <

Not mine... but the most classic CoH joke I know.

Quote
So I'm running around Atlas when I spy a level 50 plant controller just walking around with her Venus Fly Trap. I stop next to her, and she turns to look at me.

Me: Hey, do you have group fly?

Her: No... why?

Me: 'Cause you're lookin' like a fool with your plants on the ground!

Her: ...

She put me on Ignore.

This happened a few months ago...

Virtue Magi master badge run. Ara has us all on Ventrillo (or skype or whatever, I forget). People are planning how to get the badges and go over strategy. The whole "At 40% health, do this. At 20%, pop lore pets, don't kill lights, yadda yadda" schtick...

That's when I pipe in with "Ok, you guys sound like the dudes from the Leeroy Jenkins video..."

And thus, many lols were had!

Seeing/hearing peoples reactions to the first time they saw BIG!Tyrant become mini-tyrant.

The first time I saw someone photobomb Lord Recluse's cutscene.

My favorite thing of all time, which never failed to make me laugh, though, was this....

Dr. Aeon: "I can't believe I just told them how to escape like that... No matter, just erase this recording and we'll start again!"
Henchman: "Uh, sir?"
Aeon: (annoyed) "What?"
Henchman: "You, uh... you said you wanted to transmit this, uh live."
Aeon: "AAAAAGHH!!! Shut it off, shut it off!"

My personal favourite funny moment was playing my Inv/SS Tank, Ms. Ultra.  Understandably, she was a feminist.  Exchange goes like this:

Guy on team (trolling IC): "If you're Ms. Ultra, what's your husband?"
Ms. Ultra: "Obedient"

I think the mission devolved for a minute for everyone to stop laughing.  It was one of my favourite exchanges in all of CoH and it was just a random guy who fed me a line that I could knock out of the park.  8)

One of my favorite characters to run into on Triumph back in the day was Naked Mole Rat.  Huge, pink, ran around in underwear, and could improvise conversations for hours on end with everything coming from him sounding like it came straight from a Tick comic.  He was always good for a laugh and guaranteed to brighten our day.

Oh my god, I remember Naked Mole Rat!

There was another character called "Brown Ploppy", a stone tank that would just sit cross-legged with Mudpots running.  That sound...

When body sliders first came out, I saw a short, fat (well, fat by CoH standards) old lady in nothing but a half-open bathrobe.  And just as I was drinking in that shriveling sight-- SPLORT!  Out come the Spines!  Yeeesh!

One of my favorite tricks was to use Lightning Storm on the groins of various statues to turn them into 1970s porn stars!

CoH's ragdoll physics.  And their complete lack of any resemblance to real physics.

Case in point:

I once was on a mission against the Family, on a Kin/Electric Brute.  One of the Kin brute's powers is Repulsing Torrent, which is long ranged, a targeted cone, and delivers ridonkulous levels of knockback, especially slotted for additional knockback.  I had fun with it.

One Button Man, he had his back to me, standing around punching his fist.  It was an Office map.  Above me, a balcony.  Ahead, a wall separating the hallway we were in from a breakroom with a vending machine.

I say hello in the form of Repulsing Torrent.  Button Man goes flying, gets stuck in the wall for a moment.  I run over to hit him, but he pops out of the wall, and somehow gets launched about fifteen feet into the air, onto the railing of the balcony, where he lays for a while, doing about 3 barrel rolls in the process.

He finally comes to 'rest' and starts to get up, but the animation of getting up causes him to fall off the balcony.  He lands head-first and gets stuck in the floor, like a cartoon ostrich.

Now, I'm laughing my rear off here, but I have a demonic idea.  I didn't let him get up.  I decided to launch him at the wall again, using Repulsing Torrent.  If you thought it was funny up until now, you haven't heard anything yet.

The Button Man hits the wall and glitches through.  The glitching physics squeeze him like a grapeseed out of the other side of the wall, and he careens head-first into the vending machine, positioned just perfectly so his head looked like it had been jammed into the dispenser slot, with his body slumped behind it.

I cackled so hard that I fell out of my chair, and couldn't get to the screenshot key fast enough to screenie it before the mafioso got up, sadly.

Still, I smacked an overdressed goon through a wall and into a vending machine.  Consider that one written off my bucket list.

That is a /great/ story! And yeah, the physics were awesome. :D

I think of of the funniest things I saw was one of the Wonder Twins.

Every time he was fighting, I laughed and lost concentration.
he was too much.

I imagine he looked even better after the animal mods.

That was me and I had over 50 chat binds with his insults.

The best one was after dying: Ah keep mah feathers numbered for just such an emergency.

I had a guy challenge me to PvP - telling me I suck and I proceeded to lay all 50 insults on him in broadcast and the entire zone laughed until he logged off :)

Just after Freedom launched, with the remake of Atlas Park, I was bouncing around checking the place out and saw four Hellions walking single file down the street. Now I'm not a religious Beatles fan, but I do know what one of the most famous album covers in history looks like. So I jumped over and took a screenshot, thinking what the heck, might be good for a laugh. Then I completely forgot about it until a few weeks later when I was looking through the folder and saw this:

Try and work out what's happening in this screenshot:
(https://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g139/RebelScum56/CoH/screenshot_120903-16-12-17_zps26b5bdf0.jpg)

Aside from the obvious, he's what was actually going on there. That's Nemesis, in the middle of the cutscene at the end of Dark Watcher's arc in the Rikti War Zone. Now you may notice, he's not where he's supposed to be. Normally, he spawns in the center of the entrance and faces directly toward the portal. However, on this specific occasion we had two traps corruptors on the team and they decided they'd set a half a million tripmines right on the spot Nemesis spawns before we went and beat up the Rikti. So the instant he spawned, he ate a faceful of explosion for about half his health and got tossed aside before the cutscene even started. The game literally sat there for a minute before playing the cutscene, like the server itself was going 'Holy shit!' and trying to work out what to do.

RMTers and RMT in general is terrible.

If you just wanna buy your way to victory, or pay to be rich, just set up a private server or buy a "tricked out" account or something.

There on your own server you can be a god, for FREE.

Of course, such a setup requires *actual effort*, which is something people who use RMT sites don't have.

Mind you I'm not condoning private servers, just stating my opinion.

Im around level 26 or so and the Warwolf is level 37. It was obviously someone's ambush that got left behind. So Ive got my stealth and superspeed on and it cant see me..

well a level 12 guy walks RIGHT up to it and says.. " oh look a Werewolf "..

i kid you not, the Warwolf back slaps him across the street. and the guy crashed right into the side of a building.. dead of course..

There was a level 1 Council standing there unloading his clip into me.

I wound up writing up an entire story on the guy. The worst recruit ever, who the Council bosses decided on getting rid of him by sending him into battle, solo, against my character.

Heh! Reminds me of that familiar sight in CoX: Your team has just steamrolled a whole mob, but one minion hoofed it some distance away early-on. He then runs back after you've wiped out all his buddies, and starts firing on the team as if he's suddenly contracted a serious case of Rambo-itis, or perhaps realized that if he didn't make some token effort he'd end up wearing concrete galoshes when his boss found out :D

I mads a characterVillianside  called Dead Sidekick - he had two different costumes  sorta Bucky like and sorta Robin like.  Bacak when you had to have hover before fly and had to be lvl 14 I was outside of the Atlas entrance to the Hollows waiting on teamates . A lvl 2 character ran up to me and just stood there. Whoever made him had him looking naked and had that big goofy grin face on him.  When I moved I noticed he was following . I had tried sending a tell  no response. So after a while of him auto following me I turned on hover  and flew over a group of 6 th lvl Hellions.  He want a way , I went back to waiting. He returned from thje Hospital - rinse lather repeat . This went on for 20 minutes  before I finally zoned to the Hollows.

Our SG was running the LGTF one night and since most of us could run it in our sleep, we decided to have some fun. ALL dialogue was done as "Rikti"-fied movie quotes, based on what we were doing at the time.

(Here comes Hro'Dtohz and friends)
"We got Rikti!"
"How many?"
"Uh, all of them, I think!"

(Just before Honoree shows up)
"Westley, what about the ROUSes?"
"Rikti of Unusual Size? I don't believe they exist."

(Entering the first mission)
"Rikti... why'd it have to be Rikti?"

(Finding not only Penny Yin but a horde of Clockwork)
"These aren't the Rikti you're looking for..."

(The password to shut down any computer)
"Bah weep granna weep Riktibom..."

(Random combat)
"I'll get you, my Rikti, and your little dog, too!"

(Trying without success to find Dra'Gon and roaming around and around looking for him)
"I find your lack of Rikti... disturbing."

(Clearing out the generator room)
"I'm sick and tired of these Mother F***ing Rikti, on this Mother F***ing Server!"

(After finishing said cleaning)
"I see dead Rikti."

(Us vs any group of Rikti)
"Never go in against a Rikti when DEATH is on the line!"

(Here comes Hro'Dtohz)
"With great power comes great Rikti."

(yet again)
"One Rikti to rule them all
One Rikti to find them
One Rikti to bring them all
And in the war zone bind them"

(Ambush)
"RIKTI!!"
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

(starting the LGTF)
"One does not simply walk into the Rikti War Zone."

(entering the first mission)
"Speak, Rikti, and enter."

(chasing down various Rikti)
"This is my Rikti-wikti detector. Goes "ding" when there's stuff."

(finishing the LGTF)
"I love the smell of Rikti in the morning."

"Okay... this Rikti is TOAST!"

"There is no Rikti, only Zuul..."

"Ray, when someone asks you if you're a Rikti, you say YES!"

"Rikti are like onions..."

"I am a bearer, I am a dwelling, I am a messenger-"
"YOU ARE A RIKTI!"

"Lions, and tigers, and Rikti, oh my!"

"We won"
"No, we lost."
"We lost?"
"Yes, in the end, the Rikti are the winners, and we always lose."

"Rikti phone home."

"Maybe death is a rikti."
"Death is a state of nonbeing. You can't not be a rikti."
"I've not been a rikti all my life."
"No, what you've been, is not a rikti."

"I can give you vahz and cot and rikti, or cot and rikti without the vahz, or vahz and rikti without the cot, but I can't give you vahz and cot without the rikti. Rikti are compulsory."

"Our dropships shall blot out the sun."
"Then we shall fight in the shade."

"On this night of a thousand Rikti, fly away with me..."

"Are you a little tall to be a Rikti?"

"I'm the king of the Rikti!"

"A Rikti. Shaken, not stirred."

"They may take away our Rikti, but they'll never take our Freedom Server!"

"Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say 'Rikti' at will to old ladies."

"Klatu Verata Rikti..."

"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my Rikti. Prepare to die."

"Am I going MAD, or did the word "Rikti" escape your lips?"

"You seem a decent Rikti. I hate to kill you."
"You seem a decent Rikti. I hate to die."

"Give us the Rikti."
"I have no Rikti."
"Fezzik, tear his arms off."
"Oh, you mean THIS Rikti."

"I used to bulls-eye Rikti over in Portal Canyon back home; they're not much bigger than two meters."

"We are looking for Rikti wessels."

"I'm Headman J'Onson. This is Headman Swordsman J'Onson."
"No relation."

"The sheriff is a Rik-"
BONNNNNGGGG!
"What'd he say?"
"He said the sheriff's rich!"
"No, cod friggin sarnit, I said the Sheriff is a Rik-" BONNNNNNGGGG!"

"Self: Excuse. Removal from pants: imminent."

"Who's the sex machine, the private Rikti who gets all the chicks?"
"Sh'Aft!"
"He's a bad Rikt-"
"Watch your mouth!"
"I'm talking about Sh'Aft!"
"And I can dig it."

A solid hour-plus of this. We came so close to teamwiping more than once because someone would come out with a pithy comment and we'd just start howling.

This thread, of all things, has inspired me to go recover my old hard drive and get files off of it.

Not even "needing some stuff for my resume," not "pulling client data from my last job, to start my own business" or "I really should back up the family photos on it" have been important enough to me to undertake that.

But "find silly screenshots of stupid stuff?"  Yeah, I'm digging out the transfer cables.

In Nov 2006 I was traveling through AP on Triumph and saw a HUGE (sliders maxed) Green skinned, Black haired with purple pants clad toon Super-jumping  to the Steel Canyon entrance. 
Name: The Incredible Copyright Violation. I could only shake my head and send a tell "*my hat is off to you* and Good Luck". He replied "I am just waiting to see how long before I get reported"
His level: 50

On Freedom there was a toon named Captain Copyright. He had all of his slots unlocked but the two characters I remember were Captain America and Mario. His line for the Mario costume was "Its a me, Ma...Captain Copyright." He was a blast to play with

Somebody did an AE farm where all the characters were Britney Spears stage personas. The funniest thing that ever happened to me on that was that they were all bosses, and I invited a friend on to see it because it was actually a fun challenge. He didn't spot they were all bosses, herded them on his tank and faceplanted almost immediately and to him extremely unexpectedly.

in Atlas Park, circa 2005, a group of NPCs gathered on the stairs and started to riot.  They then took off down the street in the first Paragon City 10K Run.

Ahhh, the days when you could save civvies and they would follow you until they thanked you, allowing you to gather them in herds and have them follow you around as long as you flew out of reach.

I hardly ever teamed up myself. I loved it, but RL kept me AFK too much. And even I ran into more than a few players like that... crazy and awesome and just plain fun to be around :D

Maybe the RNG just hated you :P

That's not what happened this time at all.  They just started gathering and running around, first on the steps in front of Ms. Lib, then around the courtyard area.  Then they all started running off down the street.  A bunch of us were so surprised we followed, wondering what they would do next.  They would do such things occasionally, such as when they did the crowd swarm over the door next to the monorail station in KR that led the devs to put a plaque there ingame about the incident, I belive explaining it as mind control or some such.

I had a few of Darkwing Duck's signature lines ("I am the terror that flaps in the night!" "I am the raspberry seed you can't floss out!") key bound on Darkwing Turducken. Usually got a few LOL tells.

The funniest thing that I remember in a mission was in my first Cavern of Transcendence trial. You know, you had to have eight people to hit all eight glowies at once? The team leader had Invisibility and some form of Recall Friend, so he ran to each glowy and teleported one of us to it in turn. Before he did it, he gave a little team lecture on what was about to happen, stressing not to touch the glowy until he said so.

(I'm sure you can see where this is going...)

Three of us were me and two of the guys from my Friday night group, all three on Skype, so, once it started, we were obviously egging each other on via Skype, but the rest of the team were doing it by the end.

When the first of us, Chuck, got to his glowy, he asked, "Why can't we touch it again?"
"We all have to touch them at the same time. Let me get everyone in place, first."

When the next of us got there, he asked, "Can I touch it now?"
"No. Let me get everyone to theirs, then we'll do it."

Bear in mind, the team leader is not on Skype, so he has to stop what he's doing to reply in the chat window, while the rest of us are just sitting around waiting. By this time, one of the other people has caught on.

"Can I touch it, yet?"
"No! Stop it! I'm going as fast as I can!"

It rapidly deteriorate from there, until it was like some kind of skit, or something. The more we whined like kids on a road trip, the worse the team leader's typing got, too. We finished the trial, but the team leader threatened to put us all on Ignore when we were done.

Sounds like every Cavern trial I ever ran.

That may be because I was usually the one who started it every time - even when I was leading.

I remember that bug, council ambushes would spawn but at the zone's minimal level.  I remember standing around with my level 30 something in Talos and have a level 10 council run up and try to attack me.  It was like kids attacking you with wrapping paper tubes, cute but annoying after awhile.

There was also the other bug where the ambush on a TF would spawn at the real level of the player, even if they were exemplared.  Of course, usually it's the person who's leveling up and can't see that they were being 2 shotted.

Cavern of Transcendence Trial, and we all faceplant together.  The rezzer is in the rear.  There ensued a hilarious passing of the single rez pill we had from one dead body to the next to get all the way back.  "Do you have it?" "I gave it to YOU!"  "Well I don't have it!"  yada.  I was the rezzer and almost couldn't eat the pill when it finally got to me, I was laughing so hard.

Stealing this from Xieveral who snapped the pic on the last day...
(https://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z312/xieveral/doubletrouble.jpg)
That's Moonsun in black & white on the left and Dynamo Jr. in blue & red on the right (Xieveral is centered). What's so funny, you ask? They are both ME! Moonsun was mapserved so I decided to alt out to Dynamo on the way back in. When I got back to AP, there he was. I stood there looking at myself in shock and saying something like "Well. I just broke the game." He just stood there cycling through stand poses like nothing was weird at all...
Thanks again to Xieveral for thinking to take the shot.
