Man: Hello honey I'm home!
Woman: Hi dear... how was your day?
Man: Fine thank you. How was yours? You look spent!
Woman: Oh I'm fine. Just tired. I had to watch over my cousins baby girl.
Man: Ok.
Woman: It' so weird. I remember when she was a baby and now she has a baby. I just feel so old...
Quoter: "When 900 years old you reach, look as good you..."
Man & Woman: Oh shap up!


We all know one. An annoying, pernicious little thing, literate and obnoxious, the bane of every roleplayer: the Infernal Quoter!

He's the guy who's going to quote everything from Star Wars to the Godfather. Over and over and over again. So much that you often start to wonder if he's actually human and not some kind of weird parrot.

At one point I wanted to create a character on this very concept, the Quotemaster or something. I didn't... fortunately. Too much of a villain. Now with CoV out I'm starting to think such a monster could have a place in the Rogue Isles.

Anyway...

That being said, quotes can be fun. Within reason. Had I taken notes I'm sure I'd have a few sheets full of quotes from things heard and said while playing. Got any? Here's a few I can remember without having to dig too deep:

"Debt before dishonor!" - Classic Scrapper quote.
"What the hell happened?" - Adventurous lvl 16 flying Blaster snipped to death over Founder's Fall.
"There's not enough good chinese restaurants in Paragon City. It's odd considering all the cat girls running around." - Unnamed Tanker roleplaying.

Maybe it's not a coincidence that there are no mice, birds, rats or squirrels in Paragon City.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that was my own Tanker. Pretty sure. My memory sucks, though.

A friend of mine was in Independence Port once. He said the following dialog took place on Broadcast chat:

Player 1: Hey, was Statesman online before?
Player 2: Yeah, he said you're a jackass!

Manticore: Synapse, scout the building!
Synapse: Lets do this! LEEEROOOOOY!!!!! JEEEEEENNNKINNNS!!!

Let's not repeat the hubbub over Memoirs of a Geisha... catgirls are Japanese, not Chinese.
