Famous/Infamous player quotes
I'm interested in hearing some of the more amusing quotes players can inadverdently make in a game, that are so funny that oxygen masks end up having to be passed around. I'm sure everyone here has a quote or story that had their group laughing non-stop for a while, I would very much like to hear them.
One such incident I had while game mastering trek was an episode where we had a practical joker on the ship. In one incident the jokes went a little to far and involved the captain.
He had been using the holodeck, learning how to ride a horse when out of some bushes a large creature appeared frightening the horse. The horse reared and the captain fell off and lost conciousness. The crew learned of the captains injury and brought woke him up. When the captain ( npc ) asked what happened our player, a vulcan doctor replied......deadpan:
" It appears captain, you have fallen off your horse".
We all thought it quite hilarious and could'nt continue play for 10 min. Much to the embarrasment of our player, the vulcan doctor, which made us laugh all the harder.
this one has slightly sinister/sexual overtones... ;)
An AD&D 2Ed setting - it is fondly referred to as a "Silly Session".
The characters: a Vampire; a fighter closely modelled on and closely resembling Darth Vader; another fighter needing only to complete one step to become a Revenant (refer movie character Yellowbeard); a halfling with a suit that never tore, and went around screaming "Shame! Shame! Shame!" (this one's a joke against an Australian media personality); and myself, a soldier from the late 20th century, complete with M60 machine gun, flamethrower, and grenades.
The setting: We had come across a group of naked men, dancing joyously around a single - and equally naked - young boy.
We had recognised the group of men for what they were, and acted accordingly. Or, in my case, went over the top - I unlimbered the flamethrower and sprayed everywhere, causing much chaos and confusion. When all was said and done, one of the characters thought to ask, "What's the boy doing?"
To which I very quickly replied, calm as you like: "Oh - burning."
It took a few minutes before we could continue... :)
Reviving an old thread...
Okay here's one fun scene we had on our last play :
The players were having a little time off in the holodeck and were skiing for fun. They were increasing the difficulty gradually, so that after a while only the Security Officer managed to get down the slope, while the CMO and Science Officer were still near the start point trying to get on their ski (and keeping falling). The Science Off. had a little fun changing her ski to a sleigh, then to a delta and trying to lift off (needless to say, she ended in a big ball of snow and delta parts).
Then the Security Off, who had been waiting for 5 minutes, decided to speed them and asked : "Computer, add yeti !"
The two other officers eventually stopped the program, but that was some really funny scene as I described some sort of giant monkey lumbering toward the unfortunate skiers making growling noises :p.
