A funny one that I can remember was during my first days of Ultima Online. I was just learning the game and had almost no combat experience, when this weirdo comes around and starts following me naked (no armour on, just the underwear). And he kept saying \"fight me\" or something like that and trying to hit me. And there was the rule that you are not allowed to attack newbies (on that shard) so when a game master saw him, he trapped him in a cage or something. And he started asking him all these questions like \"did you know you\'re not allowed to attack new players?\"... and after a few unanswered questions, that guy says \"can i be game master\". Well.. it was fun at the moment
...
And here\'s a funnier one that happened around the same day, but to a friend on the same server (i didn\'t see all of it). He finally saved money to buy a horse (but his character was still a weak one). So he went around very proud of the horse, and thought of going in a newbie training area to show off. And there were some guys there training on straw dummies or whatever. And I don\'t know what one of them was doing wrong, but this friend of mine stopped with the horse near the dummy, unmounted and said to that player \"here\'s how you do it\", like he was some kind of expert, even if he was a newbie too. But accidently, he targets the horse instead of the dummy. So the horse gets mad and attacks him back. And my friend starts running around because the horse was more powerful and everyone was laughing at him. In the end, he managed to kill his horse (minutes after just buying it with hard-saved money). How I found out about the story? I was looking at his inventory and noticed some big, flat objects. I asked him and found out those were two pieces of \"looted\" horse skin
. He was still carrying them so that he still had something for the money he lost
