Tell us the most embarrassing mistakes that you make or have made (yeah right)
and I promise you'll be free from shame (don't read the previous parenthesis).
I'll start:
When I first played this game I crashed many crews instantly because I kept pressing "S" for reverse, it took me half a month to get rid of that habit.
When I don't realize the balloon is popped, I panic and constantly check if my finger is on that button.
-
/r mistakes, replying to the wrong person, very often!
Saying a few swears during a recorded match :o whoops!
Ramming ally mobula to death during a match which was being streamed by bubbles live at a convention, when I only intended to bump... ::)
Flying into a mine which I even told my crew "Don't worry I see it.." Then failed to hit reverse and drifted into the mine.....
Telling people in captain chat how to.crew aboard my ship instead of telling my.crew, always helpful!
Gave one pilot an entire explanation of Artemis balloon techniques before he told me. "Thanks for the tips, but you may want to tell.your crew that!"
Single most embarrassing moment sending my friend [insert name here] a message intended for [insert name here.]
Fortunately he took the compliments well!

My biggest loss streak is 7
I used to only use spire for sniping and had a hades in slot 1 and merc in 2
I started using gat mortar midion way before I learned it was the meta (level 5) and thought I was a pretty okay pilot
-
My biggest loss streak is 5, I think that's pretty avarage 5-9
Less than 5 is great. :)

Well, I did occassionally try really hard against vets in my newer pilot days and once tried all kinds of loadouts on mobula just to make it work.
-
I have 623 fires extinguished
...as a gunner

You should he proud of that!
For a very long time, Drogue Chute was one of my most used tools...
-
I lost to an all level 1 team using a metamidion
-
I was suffocated by a Squid named Kawaii Oppai...
-
I can't remembe r the number of times I have clicked 'invite to party' instead of 'join crew', that's lead to more than a few rather confused replies XD
-
My biggest lost streak is 9....
...As Pilot :'(
-
I often fall off the ship and pretend i did it for fun.
-
When I first started flying I would hold down the "W" key to go forward and ended up changing altitude without wanting to. Many times I will spend 10 minutes getting my crew to take the exact equipment I need for a certain build only to forget to bring the correct pilot tools for that ship.
-
It took me months to realize the spyglass had a zoom function.
Leaving pilot tools on by mistake. We all do it occasionally.
Looking for enemies and running into terrain.

The altitude thing is a common sorrow for all novice pilots, moreso for pyras with their slow verticals :c
Also, I still do that aswell. Switching from ram pyra to squid and realizing you didnt take moonshine off when the game starts is NOT fun.
By not fun I mean like, moonshine-into-galleons-and-barely-stop-yourself-only-to-moonshine-a-bit-too-backwards-rinse-and-repeat not fun. Seriously vets, try it, it's horrifying
Also, I used to refer Phoenix Claw as the "lucky talisman", dont ask me why.

I'm pretty sure getting confused and pressing W to go forward when you're new is common. I did that, and so did my friend who I recently bought the game for.
Although I did try to use Phoenix Claw as a type of Kerosene/Moonshine
-
In one SCS I accidently forgot to change my loadout and took a drogue chute instead of hydro, whoops.
-
For my first 2500+ matches I had no idea you could click and hold hwatcha to shoot
-
For my first 2500+ matches I had no idea you could click and hold hwatcha to shoot
An ally ship once had a gunner who shot the Gatling gun in "controlled bursts" while using heavy.
Maybe I was you! ;)
My first time shooting the Hwacha, I thought I killed the enemy when he went out of sight...
Going by the pilots voice chat it turns out I missed almost every shot..... #longrangenoheavy although I only did it once! (No ones let me near their guns since ;) )
-
I've forgot hydrogen on, balloon kept dying. I yelled at my crew.
We fell and killed our ally (squid)...
...I also killed myself once, on my double mortar pyra.Wanted to ram a spire with no armour on, and about 10% hp left.
Armour went back up. I had no armour. We dieded.
*hides under blanket*
-
Came back to my first match perhaps within over a month or so. I screwed up the entire match due to the fact I didn't realize my mouse sensitivity was set to zero, then it was set to max, and then I leveled it out. Amidst the lag of Paritan Rumble, we tried, but the pyra nerf is too great, we died and lost in that match.
(On the upside, we had a 4v4 DM and actually won that with a metamidion (despite my initial thoughts of it being dead from the hull nerf).)
-
Leaving Phoenix Claw on... every time... all the time...
-
As a young and intoxicated pilot of a hwatcha fish on fjords, I think it was junker fish vs junker fish. I went in and took heavy fire, I was like screw that and started flying away and down. My crew said go back in! and an engi told me to let him fly. I turned into a wrench pilot engi and somehow our ally managed to survive that whole time. Ended up getting condemnations from every captain.
-
The other day I instinctively mined an ally with our rear squid gun. It wasn't even on purpose, I swear, I just subconsciously migrated to it and hit our level 6 ally mobula. Whoops >_<

Why...
Such a horrifying example of a gunner, THINK OF THE POWDER MONKEYS LOGICALIA
-
Last match of Cake Unbirthday tournament, I decided to save one bad situation with a lochnagar mine. I didn't.
-
I pressed S hard while in a squid against a blender fish... Instead of D on a buffed balloon...
#shouldn'tplaywhiletired!
-
For the first 5 levels in the old levelling system. I insisted that the mallet was terrible. And pipe wrench was the master race (I thought pipe had better repair/seconds) ahh being a noob.
When I was first an engineer I stopped moving in games.
#Inefficency.
-
Oh,oh! I have another.
Back when I was a novice I was sooo scared of bullet and projectile physics that I thought all guns were hard as hell to shoot
As a result, I ended up maining Lesmok and loading it into everything. Including gat,flak, mercury and carronade.

I see only one weapon Lesmok would not be a reasonable choice for :p
My un-brag:
I lost against Storm Ryders and bragged about it... ???
-
Our captain was wall-ramming an enemy pyramidion. I was the main engi who forgot about the hull (because moonshine engines).
We moonshine rushed into the enemy, tapped the front beak, and disintegrated.
"DAMMIT Engi, the HULL!"

I would blame the captain for that one. I hate dealing with moonshine.
-
Moonshine used effectively is not such a big issue, it just takes practice to use effectively. :)
-
I forgot to shoot forward on a Mobula.
-
I somehow manage to throw lochnagar mines close enough to our munker that it kills us... T.T
-
Lochnagar gatling.

Stop trying to defend yourself, making it look an accident!
We all know you was not happy with Bubbles using a Junker, not a spire, so you sabotaged the match! ;)
-
I once loaded Lochnagar into a Flamer on a Goldfish.
I didn't rebuilt it.
-
That reminds me,
I was practicing the lochnagar mine ram
And.... Well practice makes perfect right
The best trap cards are the ones that work on you too

I haven't played a match in a week. MM just won't work for me anymore.

I don't know if it would apply in this thread but, until I played with him a few days ago I thought Logicallia was a girl. Just a completely unfounded thought I had. Do not know why I stuck with it.

"MUUUUUUSE! IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A FUN GAME"
"I don't know how about you, but I'm having a wonderful time here."
"MUUUSE! THERE IS A BUG IN YOUR GAME!"
"Oh, oh, how did it get here?"
"MUUUUUUUUSE! WHAT DID YOU DO?!"
"Me? eh-ah, I did not do this!"
"Explain what happened Muse!"
"I've never seen this before in my life!"
"Why did you bugged the game Muse?!"
"I do not bug games, bugging games is my least favourite thing to do."
"What happened to the pyra?"
"What's that?"
"THE PYRA - it's permahull is lower..."
"Oh, well, I kinda', lowered it in patch. And nerfed it."
" O___O ...MUUUUUSE...!"
"erm, oh, uhm, we needed more balance, you know, when the game is unbalanced-"
"WHY ON EARTH DID YOU DO THAT??"
"I needed balance! Give me a break!"
"MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSE"
"The newbies were mumbling"
"MUSE!"
"And only nerfing pyra and buffing spire would satisfy them"
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU MUSE?!"
"I bug games and nerf pyra, that's two things."

While in a King of the Hill match just today, I unintentionally piloted my spire with kerosene into a building below me on every single time of the 5 lives that I lived

Months and months and months back before I was any good at this game, I got into a heated argument with Xemko (who is easily in the top percentage of gunners) about how A) Lumberjack was completely useless on Paratin and B) the carronade was always better than the LJ. I was 100% convinced that this guy was an idiot, and then after a while I figured out he knew what he was talking about

Ceresbane would have adored you.

Didn't know mines timed out and exploded. Tried to convince my captain that they enemy was shooting out our mines and we could hit them from the side.

Real life:
Forgot to wear a belt to my Calculus exam with my widest pair of jeans. Was wearing my smallest T-Shirt.
Super tired from studying, no shower.
...I regret nothing.
GoIO:
Falling off the Squid 20+ times trying to parkour in one match because I kept hitting a wire/rope/thing and wasn't noticing. I blamed it on FPS issues and lag to the captain.
