What was the worst thing you did in a Roleplay

Ran a Marvel alternate universe, playing as a SHIELD agent tasked with replacing the Avengers after Ultron ganked every single one of them. Put group together, begin character development / team building. Player comes late to the party, produces a technopath vigilante with a rebellious streak. 


Decides he wants in on Avengers v2.0, and to demonstrate his ability or something, decides the best way to curry favor with the new guys is to hack Avengers tower and shut down everything except a monitor identifying himself. 


Initiate SHIELD-don't-play-that-game.


Invite technopath to tower. Promptly put him under arrest. Guy rewrites character's powers to include blatantly ripped off Iron Man suit that he can produce out of thin air. Guy proceeds to mop the floor with twenty SHIELD agents equipped specifically to deal with a technopath. I reluctantly shrug and give technopath a pass. In OOC, explicitly state that his character is OP and from now on he should contain himself a little bit. Guy freaks out, accuses other characters of being OP, namely the character playing as the next Phoenix (Jean Grey's heir or whatever) but says he'll play it cool.


Spends the next dozen posts mostly just harassing the rest of the team and picking fights. Decide I'm fed up with him, and as he hasn't listened to numerous requests to behave himself. My character had undergone near-death experience during the Invasion of New York that he had inexplicably survived. Decide that had only happened because the Marvel personification of death had him slotted to bring her a couple souls later, and that he would be effectively immortal until he fulfilled his end of the deal he knew nothing about. 


Death sees goofy technopath interfering with Agent's attempts to save world and kill certain people. Death decides she ain't having none of it. Compels mugger to stab technopath a couple dozen times while technopath is en route to his favorite hipster internet cafe. 
 
Once, in a post-apocalyptic rp I once did. My character and a others head out from their walled city into the desert wasteland tasked to unite all other settlements to repopulate and rebuild the world. We had good villains at the time btw.


Our group heads deeper into the wasteland and decides to rest in the ruins of a large church. I actually let a player to control the events at this time so the player sends a bloody sand worm to kill us all, luckily all of the character survived that near death thing. And at the end of the rp, my character and his love interest (played by another player) jumped off a city with legs to run away from crazy powerful bandits meters high from the ground. After that, rp ended. No one knows what happened to them. It sucked because it's a cliffhanger (people started to bail the rp, so I had to end it early just like that)
 
Also, as a couple other people have said, giving enemy NPCs half a brain. 


My players in Dark Heresy 2 have always been incredibly reluctant to use anything resembling tactics (overwatch or suppressing fire or grenades or anything helpful) so I decided I'd teach them a lesson. They got on the bad side of a kill-team, which proceeded to absolutely obliterate them with a combination of smoke grenades to obscure flanking maneuvers, suppressing fire, and intelligent cover usage. 


Fortunately, the party learned themselves a thing or two after that debacle. 
 
Not sure this counts (they deserved it? It was technically their fault? They should have seen it coming?) but I was RPing somewhere on here as a mercenary type renowned for his backstabbing behaviors. Like, dude has a reputation for only working alone anymore because he has a bad habit of killing his fellows and taking their chunk of the pay. Party rationalizes taking him on board by saying "Well, he hasn't done that in a while, plus, there's four of us and one of him." 


Mercenary gets left to guard the escape vehicles after a heist of sorts. Takes the desired object (party seemed to forget who they were dealing with) and had planted bombs on each of the four escape vehicles he would not be taking. Kaboom. Walk away with millions. Retire on private beach house.

There was plenty of warning. My guy's name might as well have been "Traitor McBackStabber." 


He frequently said things like "I think I oughta get paid more for this job" and told another character "Wouldn't mind if you didn't make it out of this. Might get your share of the pay." 


It was even funnier because the OOC the entire time was like "Is he implying he's gonna let someone die? Because he wants their money? Is that what he's saying?" And I replied with "Yes. Yes. That is precisely what he is saying."


And for about two weeks this RP went on, with people actually picking up on me suggesting I was going to do something devious, and then when I did it, everyone was totally caught off guard. 


Imagine if a guy walked into a room with a loaded gun, pointed it at everyone in the room, and repeatedly mumbled "I'ma kill ya and take yer wallets!" and everyone in the room went "Oh no! Not my life and my wallet!" and then when he actually shot them all and took their wallets (This is only slightly less subtle than what this character did) and his victim's ghosts were like "Oh no I can't believe he shot us and took our wallets." That was basically this scenario. Trust me, I am just as confused about it as you.

A long time ago (not on this site), I joined a roleplay with a few of my friends, and we had the sole goal of killing everyone in the roleplay. It was some generic teen dystopian thing, and we played soldiers working for the evil government.


We lured the RP creator and her best friend's character into a trap where there was no possibility of surviving (it involved blowing up a building). They kicked us out of the RP because we blew up their characters.

I think the worst thing one of my characters did was stab someone straight in the eye and scoop it into their mouth while they were sleeping, as revenge for being stabbed in the stomach. It was planned with the other character's player, but still, it might have been too early for that. At least, though, it makes a good pun. Eyesac, anyone?
 
My favorite  character welcomed an ancient demon into his body,  fused with it,  then took revenge on his friends,  save for the love of his life.   The reason?  He couldn't take the fact of them always lying about the deaths oftwo friends before the rp started.   He was demented and a part of him always thought that they deserved to die. 


So they did.

once on a different rp site i was in this roleplay that kind of had a game of thrones feel to it except with like vampires and humanoid creatures of the sort. lots of political intrigue, and a nice plotline to boot. there weren't many human characters, but the few that were ended up being all of the token mary sues whose only purpose that i picked up on was to ship with the vampire prince or something. the funny thing was, i was a mod of the rp group that helped the admin set it up, and admin was playing the vampire prince. there was one girl in particular who played an innocent blonde-haired blue-eyed ballerina that was supposedly "kidnapped" by the prince to be his personal "blood slave". admin was just not having any of this particular girls' shit when it comes to forced ships and romance overshadowing the actual plot. we devised a plan.


so pretty much what happened was, every time this chicks'  mary sue tried to get "close" to the vampire prince (which was like every other post) my character would always happen to walk in on the two and ABSOLUTELY WOULD NOT  stop trying to talk to/pull the mary sue away from the admins' charrie. this chick would obviously try to godmod me away or blatantly ignore my character - and when that happened it was the vampire prince who would actually "get distracted" by my character and strike up a conversation with them instead... the prince would act "so fascinated" by whatever my character said no matter what random nonsense fell out of their mouths.


it became pretty obvious eventually we were doing this just to spite that particular girls' character, and she just ended up abandoning the roleplay altogether.


the best part? the "vampire prince" and my character ended up together.


so ms. ballerina blood-slave if you're reading this; suck it.

Ballerina Blood Slave is a great name for an emo band though...


Ahh to keep us on track I've probably always been a little too shy to do anything really bad, except for abandoning RPs that people were still interested in. I guess there was this one RP I was running where I had a player who was really keen on their character knowing more magic than everybody else due to their backstory. When they skipped out on the magic lesson I set up to do a side story I decided they were getting a bit ahead of themselves so when they tried to use magic to quietly knock out somebody guarding a door they needed to go through I decided their spell had "backfired" and set off the fire alarm in the building. 


Aaand then I had a smirking 14 year old NPC tease them mercilessly about their shoddy magic. Truly villainous I know.

Me and a few friends of mine were playing DnD and I was DM. First let me state that they knew me as the DM that would get you killed by a butterfly. Anyway we were playing an alternate warhammer fantasy setting, one of the characters was a black ork, another a wood elf thief, and a human bard. I'll spare everyone the whole story but about an hour into gameplay and a tunnel opened up in the ground and the human and ork fell in. It was filled with Skaven, the bard was trying to buff the ork and the wood elf came running down into the tunnel to help. All of the skaven were going after the ork since he was taunting them and was the biggest threat, after about five or ten minutes they started to beat them back, and to break the moral of the skaven the ork let out a war cry. Now before he did this a warned him that the tunnel was unstable and orks create shockwaves when they yell, he did it anyway. The tunnel collapsed on him and the bard, the wood elf managing to get out with her absurd rolls and eighteen dex, the cave in basically killed the bard and the ork, so the bard heals the ork with the last of his magic and life. The ork proceeds to eat the bard, and he was infused with corruption from chaos, so the ork turned into a chaos spawn and climbed out of the tunnel chasing the wood elf. In the end the wood elf got away and collapsed in a town, this was about two hours into the game, not even a week in game time, and I had already killed two of the three players. 
 
I was bored one day, back in the days of MSN chatroom roleplaying.  I created a character which was basically a flying slug that moved superfast and flew around stealing everyone's pants. Nobody could handle such a random thing happening and the entire chat had a meltdown.  It was glorious.
