People who make you laugh :)

I'm starting up this thread so people can post up stories about people that made them laugh!

Maybe a bad situation turned good, or a good situation turned bad but then in a freak accident of space and time turned good and giggly!

Here's mine. This just happened about 10 minutes ago:


I was in Lion's Arch dist3, making small talk with people, which was only possible because the salesmen were in bed.

I saw a guy who I shall call Horatio say in the Trade channel, "Selling Guild Wars Fractions key, 60k!" Yup...he said it...Fractions...

I was compelled to take action. I messaged him saying something like, "Fractions? What's that?" I was hoping he would catch his mistake, but he was oblivious.
"Its the expansion to Guild Wars," he replied, to which i responded,
"Are you sure? I thought Fractions was some lame math game..." he still didn't get it. I saw this as an opportunity to be a b@$turd, and I challenged him to a 50k bet that Fractions was NOT the title of the Guild Wars second campaign. He accepted the bet with great enthusiasm! I told him he would win if he could send me a link to somewhere on the Guild Wars main site that said Fractions as the second campaign.
"Dude, I'm looking at it right now" he said, clearly thinking that I was the stupid one.
"If you still can't see that you are wrong, then read a little closer" I said, trying to free him of his own incapability to read closely. We batted back and forth about how I was wrong, and I made comments about how he should read, blah blah blah.

In the end, I spelled it out for him, and he discovered his error. I didn't intend to make him pay the 50k, that would just be cruel (not that i could make him even if i wanted to). He claimed that I didn't win because it was so close. he said that I didn't play properly, lol.

Surprisingly, he didn't ignore me! We kept on going, and I made a joke about how he should sue the education system for not teaching him how to read. We ended off on a happier note than we began, although he wasn't entirely as giggly about this event as I was

Fin.



Ok, now your turn! Post your funny stories about people who made you laugh!

there was a guy who kept pming me askig to be....my personal "pet". to obey my orders, follow me... and he was actually serious, begging me (i was using my ranger) and got upset when i refused.

weirdo

btw, i never met him before, i was just dancing + chatting with guildies in Maeketplace

the guy begging to be a sub pmed me randomly too. I think he only messages girls.

Guys who chase me around in game for no appearent reasons. Like they will camp near you for hrs... <,<

I usually lie to them that I am a guy and they will just leave me alone

I was once standing around in Druids Overlook, and there was a couple of warriors that were going around and taunting people. They would corner people who looked like they were afk and repeatedly taunt them until they ran away or did something else, it was so funny. Then they would move on to somebody else, and do it again. They called themselves "The Taunters" ... lol

*sigh* sometimes I go looking for them to see if they ever show up there again, but can't find them anywhere. I forgot their names too. It kind of reminded me of that SNL skit where the two club guys try to dance with girls by bouncing them back and forth until they run away. I couldn't stop laughing.

This is from Beacon's Perch:



No m8, no runners around in Beacon's Perch...

I think I posted this before but I was in pre searing in Ascalon city and a Ranger was complaining in chat that his pet had vanished, I PM'd him and asked if it was called Melandu's Stalker and that I had seen it just outside the entrance. He went out and then PM'd me back to say thanks and it was right where I said it was

Well... there is this thread on GWGuru, where people tell about people that made them laugh! It's hilarious!

rofl.
That's awesome. /forwards to GW contacts.


My little story:
Back in the day when 55 monks were still relatively unknown, there were many bets made about their tanking ability. Shorlty after I had made my own 55hp monk, I saw a monk in ToA spamming "50k says I can solo an Aataxe as a monk!"
I knew it was a pretty high chance that he was using the 55hp build (when prot bond was pre-nerfed) so I took his bet, as my Ranger.
We go in and he bonds up, with me chuckling.

He runs up to an Aataxe and I drop Nature's Renewal.

Owned.

I was forming a party in The Wilds, and all we needed was a healer. After a while finally a "healer" joined. I asked him if he was a healer, and he replied yes. We started the mission, and imediately I noticed that that people were taking damage, but nobody was healed. So I asked again if he was healer, and he replied "Yes!". Okay, my bad. I must have missed something. Next battle, people were dieing, and still I saw no healing. Well, actually our "Healer" was still at full health, using his rod to fight. I asked again if he was a healer, and he replied; "Yes I am a healer, but I only heal myself."
That was so funny, I couldn't help but just continue the mission until everybody was dead. The guy didn't even use resurrect on us either. Either this was an Ebay monk, or he was just being funny

Well I don't have any good stories atm..but one of the funniest things I ever heard as my friend telling me he sold a Blue FDS as an IDS. It wasn't back when IDS's were worth much, but 15k is still a lot.

These are both different from my thread. This thread isn't about jerks, its about people who make you laugh. That has the potential to include jerks, sure, but more often than not it will consist of good people.



A new story (I swear to dwayna this is true, but its unbelievable):

I had my Necro, and I was helping a friend on Thunderhead Keep. I was the party leader, so I started gathering the troops...and of course, it came to the point where I had to try to find some real healers, rather than henchies (I hate henchies).

Surprisingly, 2 monks weren't that hard to find. One was a m/w named something like...O wait, I'm not allowed to say it...well, it had 'Smiter' in the name. I asked him if he was a healer, and he said that he originally wanted to be a smiter, but changed over to healing. I found this explanation to be satisfactory, so off we went!

We get in there, and immediately I see the other monk die. Everyone was mad, but we kept going, only to see this monk die again and again and again. I had to ask him/her, "Hey, are you a 55-monk?"
They replied, "No, sorry, just lets keep going". Indeed, we kept going. and he/she kepy dieing.
"Are you completely positive that you aren't a 55-monk?"
"Yes."
"Are you a lieing 55-monk?"
"No! Why are you accusing me of lieing!"
"You die so much, its the only explanation. So, are you SURE you aren't a 55-monk?"
"well...no."
"What?"
"What?"
"Ur weird"
"What's a 55-monk?"
"oh my lord...." Apparently this buy/gal was a 55-monk and didn't even know it!

I explained it to him/her, and suprisingly he/she was light-hearted about it all, we had a nice laugh (not at him/her, at the guild that moulded him/her into something he/she didn't know he/she was)

Was in a group the other day for some FF. Few people maxed out and headed off to cash in the faction. We picked up some new people and got this necro who pretty much thought he was king of the world. He started informing everyone in the group how they should play their characters for faster farming.
Having already been doing the runs for over two hours with no wipes, the leader PM'd each of us to "entertain" him. We each rebuilt the characters to his design.
First run, we wiped. Second run, we wiped.
The necro, instead of getting mad and saying we were a bad group (a rarity these days), said:

"Umm, apparently the builds on the net don't work for everyone".

We all had a good laugh and he enjoyed some humble pie.

Second:

Watched in Seabead yesterday an Assassin trying to get into a group. He told the group leader to drop the henchie warrior so he could join. The group leader said:

"But, the warrior can take more hits than you can"
Assassin responded "But the henchies are not as smart and can't play as good as I can"
Another group member chimes in with "Your playing a sin and your wanting to replace a tank. Henchie seems smarter."
Assassin laughs and says "Good point. Assassin lfg"

General things that make me laugh that I see:

Someone thanking a henchie for rezing them

People in ToA saying, "let's just bring some henchies"

People asking for MM's in ToA.

i was buying Kuunavang in Shinig Jea Monastery and one guy pm me:
"how much will you pay?"
i said: "how much do you want?"
he said: "how much will you pay?"
"100k"
"you are crazy, you are crazy"
"?"
"100k, i think it is about 500g"
"so are you selling pet?"
"nevermind"

I was doing the last mission of the game with my monk, the leader sent out a request for another monk, thats fine we have 2 monks full party, we go into the mission, well i am the only one healing, she's sitting back in the spawn well most of us die i ran out of energy and died, so one of the guys brings the aggro back to the healer, so she finally starts healing. At first, I thought she was just afk but then we move on and she still doesn't heal so i call her out on it and she was all like I don't heal tanks. Then she said i don't heal anyone. So i said why are you here then? she was all like oh i am bored i already beat this mission but it doesn't mean i am going to help you heal. SO i left the group, pm the leader and told him to meet me back at the town lol some people as mad as it made me at the time i can sit back and laugh at her now.

Rez me Mhenlo Rez me!!!

Well it IS fun really And now that they talk you might as well play along

Hmmm, uber-funny round at my second-ever outing in Thunderhead Keep yesterday. I had formed a group of three people, when another team messages asking for three. We join and he starts the mission immediatly.

Tis marvellous trying to fight your way through with NO healer One afk ranger. And only ONE secondary monk with a rez. Warrior prim. We eventually gave up in the range of 40-60% dp

I was running some incompetent through THK. He was complaining that because his mom wouldn't buy him anymore gold he wouldn't be able to beat the game.
I had to stop and laugh for a few seconds at that.

Canadian Bacon does, about this threads.
