What is the stupidest IC roleplaying/reason for leaving the current IC situation, if you/he/she had to go away for OOC reasons?

Don't say "they just logged off without saying a word", That is familiar and I don't want to hear that over and over again.

I would go saying what I have done a few times: we were going off hunting, and I suddenly said "hmm what is in here?" and went into the cave of illithids... *logged*

next time I met the others thought I was a mindflayer thrall.

Dunno, they're usually awkward and forced reasons on one level or another, in any case. Just gotta live with it and not pay attention to it, methinks.

'Ah gotta take a dump!'

"They popped."

For people coming to the party: *A halfling drops out of the sky.*

For people leaving the party: "Oops, my water just broke."

good good, at least you got what I asked for, keep up!

Haha, too bad I don't play pregnant women.

Seriously, though, Joon just hurries to conduct his prayers. Worship is serious business.

People joining out of nowhere is a bit less weird now with the new portal system. Though, that means a LOT of people have a tendency to step into strange portals they have no clue where they're leading to, and the rest simply can't operate their wands properly and end up in strange places.

*Watches as he goes off to find a good looking goat ... *

One of my personal favorites was my Wizard, Wesley-

"Oh, hell."
"What?"
"...I just realized that I left my alchemy apparatus in a heated state, which could very well result in the laboratory burning down. Bye!"

Oh, poor Joon has made a career out of stumbling into strange portals and fearing for his life that the owners will beat him. It's worked for him so far, but one day he'll find himself in the bottom of the ocean.

I guess the same excuse could be used for disappearing. Leylines picked up the wrong passenger at the wrong spot?

i always say pressing quellar duties, port to house xull, then log.

its wasted quite a few mythals to date....

Vael being a Weave Knight has Monolith specific duties to work on at times so I just draw on those.

Warrick: He's a Clerk for Cordor, easy.. (I need to go home and get some rest before work/I have to go to work)

My usual reasons with Jhae are 'house duties' or 'temple duties'.

With Ame, it's usually something about her daughter.

It very much depends on the rp. If you're in rp with someone you despise, it can be a walk in the park to find and excuse for leaving. Examples will vary.

Cozy rp with your friends is a different matter. I enjoy using "The road is calling.. " with E'dalar. Wanderlust you might call it.

One I can't use, but would like to see is.. "LEAVE ME BE! WHY WON'T YOU BE QUIET.. WHYYY? *sob sob, then run for the hills like a 17-year old, heartbroken schoolgirl, who has been rejected*"
The last one would work well for evil aligned barbarians.

"too drunk to continue"

Well, it's not THAT stupid, but kinda embarrassing anyway.

Honesty is the way to go, like "I am bored of you. You are incompetent." Can be applied to the party chat too.

I've often done this with my character.

Meldrium: "Truly, you lot are most abhorred N'Tel'Quessir I've had the displeasure of accompanying. May these Lizardfolk/Mylocks/WhateverEnemyWe'reFighting rend you from your mortal agony... Fairwinds.

*Casts Mordenkainens Disjunction at his feet, disappearing/logging off*

I, uh...tend to wait till the last minute and headbob, thus making some typo-ridden comment about needing to check on someone/something, and bugger off.

When I'm not sleep-depraved, I try to come up with something that makes sense.

Ailahra: "I must go file a report for my superiors. Farewell and keep safe."

Them: "My house is on fire I think I gotta go!"
Me: "You live in Kohlingen and we're in Wiltun...how the hell would you know your house is on fire?"
Them: ... *logs*

Sad part is this really did happen once when I had first started playing here.

I usually blame Ron/Eary.

Seriously.

Such as;

Ramika: ... I've got to go run some errands. I've left Eary with the children ... and by now he's probably got one of them in a headlock. I'll see you later.

Sadly, it's not that unbelievable.

Hmm, I have a few.

Ranth: *Slaps her on the butt and darts off giggling* Or "AAAAAGH!"
Benny: "To the pub!"
Garnith: "Oh gods, I forgot to feed Ethra."
Zekni: "Bigz! AAAAAAAGH"

As Kosthu would say. "I need to go tend to my drug laboratory!"

Typically, Seatooth catches a hint of some brilliant odor trailing from elsewhere and runs off after it. Now that I think about it, it would be easy to describe her entire adventuring career that way.

Oh dear god, my HEAD!

Always useful when the hangover kicks in..

"I've got to go use the bathroom."

...leave them wondering what happened and why it's taking so long... O.o

ICLy... "Crashing... CRASHING... CRASHINGAAAAAAAAAH!!!" *player has left*

"Ohhhh f_ _ _ I'm still on amia. . . uhhhh bye"

Dill Buck-tooth around people who dont are about undead "me thinky is time for me get back studdies.. undeads not become cooks themselves you knows?

Dill Buck-tooth around people who do care about undead " me gotta go.. be needing to teach *name a gobo* how to summons paladins

moonidle *a bug lands on him and he runs off creaming*

samius " to warm.. im going to roll around in snow or summthing .. seeya"

For Weston:

OOC: "I HATE YOU CLOCK! >.< bedtime wins again...soon"

IC: *Weston had to go save somebody, you know, Salandran, medical stuff. Sudden. Has to go now.*

Most annoying ones are, when your rping and hunting, that the playe just leaves without a word. *Poof*

Where is -insert name-?

I think he was here a moment ago...

Well yeah.. we were hunting with him.. Can't see him anywhere.

That kinda just.. leaves nothing to ya.. Some good ones I have heard, which made sense.

Barristan "Well, I must return to my research.. Until we meet again" Is what I use mostly if I need to logg.

Cealíre is quite random, so she just might leave or give whole explanation, note that if I leave I emote something stating she is taking her leave.

The stupidest IC reason to log?
