Embarrassing Mistells

Reading through the Rude Tells thread inspired me to share this.

Some time ago, my whole SG and I (a whopping three people, plus alts) were part of a full team, chatting amongst ourselves in SG chat. I keep my default chat set to team and use slash commands for talking in broadcast, SG, etc. We can't recall the conversation now, but one of my SG mates made a comment regarding urine and a couple minutes later made a movie reference that had to do with streams. He feels the need to check that other people get his jokes and references, so naturally he asks, "do you know what that's a reference to?" I told him that I knew the reference, identifying it so he would be sure. Then I remark, "and, incidentally, urine." I got about halfway through whatever it was I was going to say next when I realized that that one snippet of conversation had accidentally been a addressed to the team in general. I got out a quick "oops, mt" before I literally fell out of my chair laughing at what I'd just done.

We still crack up laughing anytime the word "incidentally" pops up.


Okay, your turn. What embarrassing mistells have you witnessed or committed?

I know at least once I was complaining in a global channel about the team I was on, and I accidentally sent one of the messages to the team. Yes, awkwardness!


Many times I've had conversations with friends while teaming with them about some inane topic that'd make both of us look completely nuts, and "accidentally" sent a message over team chat instead at just the right time

We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

Oh...my. I have so many but I try really hard to forget them. For like two years I was the misstell KING of our SG, and many of them things I shouldn't have said "in public" (yes, those who've witnessed, I talk behind people's backs sometimes...and so do you ). None really come to mind, but I'll post some if they do.

But, this is going to be one fun thread. Nice idea!

LEGION OF VALOR - Be a part of the Legend!

Oh, I do it all the time...

There was once a very embarrasing moment when someone tried to "confess his love" for me (sometimes people can get confused, as I am always cheerfull and expansive and easy going - but that comes from my brazillian heritage)... and as I was on the middle of a hard TF, I mistelled and answered on Level 50 chat channel...

It was one whole day dodging tells asking with whom I was talking to...

Ah, well, I was on my fire blaster, soloing, when I decided to try out a new Battle Cry. Little, did I know that the battle cry will appear in whatever channel is selected and not default to local.

I ended up spamming a global channel with "Die in a fire!"

I have a group of friends where we team together and use Ventrilo to chat. Sometimes we may invite one or more other folks to join us, but not always. However, if I want to say something snide or cynical to one of the other guys, I'll type it in a chat.

One of our guys is a great guy (I have even chatted with his kids), but every now and then he gets a little short-tempered. I didn't know it for a while, but he has some medical issues that can affect his mood. One time he was acting a little snippy in voice-chat. I intended to type a tell to one of the other guys, but it was mistakenly sent out in team chat . . .

"What what got XXX's panties in a bunch today?"

Then I had to try to smooth things over in voice chat . . .



Then there is the famous typo from the old Hami-raid days. In the old Hami Raid, a group of Illusion Controllers would fly over Hamidon, out of his aggro range, and drop Phantom Army to draw Hamidon's aggro. It was a fun social event . . . not very exciting, but we would float up in the sky chatting while we waited for PA to recharge and drop the next group. One of the frequent leaders was Neuttrino, who played a character named "Tiny Neut." We would all get in position, wait for instructions from the Raid leader, and then Neut would tell us to start dropping our Phants.

Only one time, she had a bit of a typo that became famous. When it came time, we all saw a team message from Neut that said (something like) . . .

"OK everybody, drop your pants."

That typo became a running joke for almost every Hami Raid from then on.

Not quite embarrassing on the same scale; But recently one of our server's main global channels was instructed to gather for RAs. Frankly I don't think we were given enough notice... or instructions on where to gather...

One time I was on a team with my wife and some old SG members when we were having a conversation about Episode 3.

My wife was also maintaining a conversation with one of my co-workers; female.

At one point my wife stated that she would kill a school full of children for me... which went to the co-worker rather than the team.

Ok Mr Noj.... Enough about our personal life. :P My needs to murder school children for you are our own issues.

2 classics,

"I can't till my husband goes out at 11"

"or you can get me pregnant and I keep the kid"

Last night, I was teaming with a friend, we both RP, and were running around IP taking on Banished Pantheon. Anyway, I got a tell from a recent global friend to team and informed him that I was currently RP'ing. "No, problem."

I'm on my Earth/Rad Controller and he's on his Tank, we come up against an Avalanche Shaman, who plants Earthquake right under my feet, which knocks me down all of once. I plant an EQ under his feet and hit backspace.

Global friend<--: "Take some of your own medicine, Shaman."
GF: "If that's the extent of your RP then I think it's okay that you team with us."
GF<--: "Yeah, that was supposed to be OOC to my teammate... >.<"

/facepalm

If I went and listed all the embarassing/hysterical mistells I've sent, we'd be here all day and my hands would get tired from typing.

My most favorite one, though, was me on a team with a bunch of people from a global channel, talking in the global channel and in team channel with assorted folks, in addition to holding a PM conversation with another person. The PM conversation was really weird, to the point that I don't even remember most of it because I have blocked it from my mind, but I repeatedly sent "poop sex" (except, you know, in explicit lyrics) to both global chat and team chat instead of in PM responses.

Does it count as a mistell if you're on Ventrilo with your friends for a few hours doing task forces when you get a phone call from your girlfriend and you continue pressing the press-to-talk key while talking to her so your friends get to listen to half the conversation? If that counts, then I've had waaaaay too many.

Especially the time I was playing Pirates of the Burning Sea and had my headset volume up way too high so even when I wasn't wearing it she could hear the ships' cannons through the phone.

Her:"Are you playing that Pirate game again? While we're talking? This is important!"

We were talking about furniture, I forget what about exactly.

Me, unknowingly pressing the press-to-talk key out of habit: "What? Why would I be doing that? I'm just talking to you. Why would you think I'm playing the Pirates game?"

Friends on Vent, clearly audible: "HE'S [CENSORED]ING LYING! HE'S PLAYING THE PIRATES GAME! KICK HIS [CENSORED]!"

Her: "What was that?"

Me: "What was what?" (click the microphone and headset on mute)

Sometimes I will do an "accidental" misstell on purpose. Just out of the blue for no good reason Ill say stuff in coalition chat like "OMG I know what you mean. (X coalition member name) can do great things with his tounge."


Oops MT.

A couple of times I put a fake MT into VirtueUnited to get things going. One of them was sigged here for a while by someone.

"I know that it conserves water, but peeing in the sink is considered nasty."

Two things one my wife is/was the queen of misstells.We would pug and then in sg chat with friends voice our opinions/gripes about ppl on the team....except for her who would be in team tell,some embarassing moments for sure.

Secondly, was a sgmate who liked to carouse alot with the females and in tell would describe the previous nights events...except when they went into bc in Atlas.Many childrens ears that day got burnt off......

I think I had the title of 'King of Mistells' for a bit. None were that bad, although the funniest one I witnessed was actually meant to be to me.

A friend is describing the most obscure (and a tad embarassing) dream that they had to me. It's been all in tells, and I can tell that the story's getting a little... odd. The dream's getting to the 'saucier' bit, and something is about to be revealed, when I see on the servers's badgehunting channel:

Yes, [my name]
YOU
YOU IN HOTPANTS
YOU IN GOLD HOTPANTS
GOLD SPARKLY HOTPANTS

There's a moment of silence where I process what just happened. Then there's a few 'Excuse me?' style replies on the channel, the misteller apologises and says how they were meant to be tells, and I almost fall off of my chair laughing.

One day, I was asking a friend to come to the SG base, back when it was the COOLEST THING EVER (Still is, actually) and I was absolutely addicted to base customization. Try to guess what's wrong with this sentence:

"Hey (Player_Name), come to the base! I have a few thongs to show you!"

ALL OVER SUPER GROUP CHAT.
