March 2010 Highlights

You know first we made the bizaro magnus jokes, then we found out we were gonna be fighting bizaro versions of towns members... a tad awkward for magnus

-Seeing Wolfgar, again, and all our antics.  We aren't very good influences on one-another ...

-Watching Tobar insult a yeti to death.

-Catching Evil Quin's wrist as she tried to stab me, and then hearing Wolfgar's voice as he laid his sword across the back of her neck: "You'd better back off, missy.  That's my kinsman."  It's good to have big, scary friends.

-Getting my sword master-disarmed to ten feet behind the enemy line, which gave me the chance to sprint through the bad guys, dive head-first into the snow to retrieve in, and then fight my way back to the friendlies.

-Singing "March of Cambreadth" at the top of my lungs.

-Sage.  Period.  He rocked out on the moss-collecting mod, which I was privileged to NPC for, and talking to him for an hour or more on Sunday morning was top-notch RP and loads of fun.

-Remi and Tobar both sang very, very well at feast.

-Tickling Tobar in order to confirm/deny the hypothesis that skittles would drop out.  So far, two minutes of tickling is not enough ...

-Coughing up blood was fun.  I'd never used a blood capsule before.

-Jumping on PCs' backs as a plague-infested goblin.  Thanks for being good sports, guys!

-The moss-collecting mod, as a whole, was a good setup and fun to be a part of - very clever setup that went beyond the "smash-and-grab" principle behind almost any quest.  I hope the PCs enjoyed it, too.

-Helping Wolfgar teach +1 strength.  I'm telling you guys: applying more pushups will fix anything.

-At feast, Rannick learned what a pun is, and what "conjugation" means - even if he can't pronounce it, yet ...

-No, I'm not a dumb barbarian!  Shut up!

-All the staff were really helpful and accommodating whenever I had questions or needed something.

-Sorel's very simple Dragoon test.

-Creed did a great job breaking the news to Rannick.  The sense of buildup, mystery, and confusion was great.

-Vegetarian Shepherd's pie.  Thanks, Billiam.

-Hammish learning to insult.

My one beef?

-High-level people, let the low-level people know what's going on.  We all waited for you to get organized, went along with your battle-groups plan, fought like hell for you, and then waited around in the dark and cold while obnoxious knife-wielding Agaurran dopplegangers were walking around in our midst and you were doing god-knows-what.  I'm sure it was important and helpful and everything, but I'm only guessing at that, and we had to just sit and wait while you did it, so don't take our cooperation for granted.

There's a practical side to this, too: when Evil Quin backed out of the corner she'd gotten into by saying, "Lay one hand on me and the treaty is off," Wolfgar and I both said, "... what treaty?"  We get into enough trouble on our own on purpose without stepping all over interdimensional treaties we don't know about.

--Rannick--

-expecting more people to yell at me for the previously mentioned letter (would have enjoyed the rp)

Plague > Yelling at Emar. I made sure to mention this to a few people too.


A few highlights I forgot to mention!

-Learning stuff! Lores, Languages, and things about the town and its people I suspected but didn't know for sure. Awesome what one gets to learn when I sort of have to sit around all day.
-Despite the whole plague thing I got to meet a lot of new people and the majority of them were very nice. Thanks for keeping me sane guys
-Getting a bracer from Aahz and every once in awhile someone looking at me in utter confusion "Doesn't that belong to Aahz?" "Yep!" Best. Gift. Ever.
-Being told there were fire thorns on the fire plane and running around with Brik and Angelica trying to figure out how to get there. Fortunately we were told someone had been misinformed and the fire plane was a bad idea.
-Trying to heal the Count. What an interesting situation overall.

I'd gotten about 3/4h of the way through a post yesterday and then my computer decided it hates me so lets try this again.  
Great game I had a blast

Dragoon thing friday night was amazing.  It came at the perfect time for Ashling and was able to make her "get shite done" additude for the rest of the weekend possible.  It was great feeling useful and the mod was rediculously well done and epic

Devil thing was also epic and amazing, who ever came up with that set up/ costume is a genious.  
Not getting to paetros in time to save him and the angsty rp that followed that situation  "Why do all the people I care about always run off and do stupid shite!"  Great RP outside the monistary waiting for him to get brought through the focus, and then him finaly coming back.
Me: Are you ok?
Paetros:  No
Me: do you want to talk about it?
Paetros:  Not yet
Me: Do you want to go get drunk?
Paetros: Absolutly.    
See this is the kind of dealing with emotions I can get behind.  I'm so glad the Yhatzi's are starting to wake up from hibernartion.

Staying up all night, attepting to watch the sun rise on the lake, great rp with Mikal, magnus and ...other guy...sorry don't remeber your name but you're awesome.  It was fun trying to explain that the reason I was afraid to go to bed was because there was someone tied up in there.  Take that as you will.
Managing to avoid plauge by either being out on mods or npcing through the worst of it.

Moss mod was great fun,

celt food was great, good job cooks.  I'm thinking the beer bread will have to happen every kr because it is stupid easy to make.  

Seeing all the terrible and deciding it was time to get shit done because I was sure as hell not sitting around and watching everyone die.  Refusing to let Sorel out of my sight until he taught me how to find my spirit.

...OMG SPIRIT OF THE DRAGON WIN FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finaly feeling like a grown up

Great main mod I was so proud of my big cousin collin, it was great finaly having a sheild line to fight behind and tearing through on the front line.  wtf orginzation?

The great kaldonian snow ball fight.   win.  

lowlights.
messing up my knee friday night and it getting progressivly more sucktastc as the weekend went on, thanks gene for the icy hot and frank for the ib profin.  stupid snow is stupid.

around respawn ten or so playing plauge zombie with 1000 body i seriously wanted to die.  Even when you're pulling blows 300 or so hits before you drop hurts alot after a while


Great fun, don't know if i can  make april but if at all possible i'll be there.

-expecting more people to yell at me for the previously mentioned letter (would have enjoyed the rp)

Plague > Yelling at Emar. I made sure to mention this to a few people too.

well, thats reasonable, but i know there were a lot of others that kinda just still hung out with emar instead of giving him guff

But now I know why sword & board is better than an unwieldy two handed weapon.

i dunno about that. i use a polearm and didn't get touched once on any mod
