I try to do a gimmick as a wizard sometimes but I get power-murdered too fast to make it work. One time I tried to get a bunch of monkey cheeseburgers so I could be a monkey wizard and after not being on station more than a few minutes, the captain and everyone else in the station burst into the kitchen to shoot the ever-loving shit out of me.
Really, it's hard to do wizard gimmicks, and it's at the point where even the admins get ticked off at you if you try to do any, because there's this stigma against wizards that don't rampage somehow. I mean, don't try to be some lame harmless friendly wizard but still.
The most successful gimmick I've ever had as a wizard is literally to just be an obnoxious bothersome shit, going around using pandemonium, arse nath, freeze ray, shit like that, and phasing around like a prancing nymph through the forest of grief. It was rather magical, really, and it was surprisingly effective. It can be tough, because those spells can have really high cooldowns, but it's still fun. That is, until the AI gets a bug up its butt about you and follows your every waking move, whether you have an id on or not. Still, the banter is good.
