May 2010 Highlights

It's Andy.  Andy Sherbo.  You're welcome.

So apparently it WAS PvP.  Thanks for clarifying.

Thanks also for quoting the company policy, Geoff, but I kinda figured that's what it was.  It doesn't make a lick of difference to me or change a thing I said.  I'll react in-game, alright - don't you worry about that - but if this is where I get to say my piece about what happened in the event, then THAT is my lowlight and I stand by it.  The fact that it's allowed in the rules doesn't make it any less of a dirty move.

If it was a bunch of PCs, you guys are assholes.

I'll also note that hurling OOG epithets at other players is against policy .

Unless someone personally targeted you for OOG reasons, or otherwise was abusive towards you OOG, it was absolutely not a "dirty move."  If they did, you need to report this to a Marshal ASAP.

The policy is there for a reason - it makes sure the game runs smoothly for the majority of players, and the betterment of the game as a whole.  We didn't make it up just because it looks good on paper (or on a website) - it has a reason for being there.  Just because you got caught on the wrong end of an encounter does not mean the rules, or policy, is at fault.

The person who suffered the most in this encounter - Charlie - took it like a champ.  His character was robbed, mind wiped, and humiliated, and his home desecrated, but the Player didn't voice a single complaint, even if the character did.  That is the kind of spirit the game strives for.

Merely an observation - there was plenty of toilet paper available, just none willing to transport it.  The Kitchen Staff are not your parents.

during down time NPCing a boy and girl were sent out to stock the major bath houses, kept npcs busy and everyone else supplied with toilet paper (for the time at least)

This is for everyone that has an issue with what this thread it for.

Since this is the Highlights thread, I assume you must have had fun.
We have something called event feedback for issues.
I suggest using it. You might get better results instead of swinging insults in public.

With that in mind and to clear up the awkward air here on the thread, lets get back to highlights!!!...plz?  :-[

Friday Night:
-infiltrating undead ranks as an undead Misaki?!  Awesome!!!
-Very intense RP with Aleister when Misaki first found out Ethgail was there, then trying to rush forward and get to Sorel when he got murder-faced by a vampire
-SO MANY DRAGOONS!!!  Including a returning one!  Ms. Drexel was a fantastic addition to the every-growing army...I mean group!  
-getting my chance to lead the dragoons while no other Sith while around and even getting a compliment from Magnus

NPC Shift:
-It seems that once a year I get to play an awesome kick-butt NPC.  This month was finally it.  Getting to play a Black Sith was by far the COOLEST thing ever.
-right after that storming the Inn with 3 other two-tone dragoons and Windwalking over to Matt to perform a Dual-Roundhouse Incap.  Yeah, that was awesome
-surviving the longest as I fought against the Count and a slew of other high powers until they downed me and burned by body.  Yep, I even laid on the ground for 10 minutes so they could check and see what was inside me after my corpse melted away from divine flame

Saturday:
-Learning that Telligrim was back the following way:
Person: "Telligrim is back"
Me: "...hahahaha!  You always were a funny one!"
*deathly silence*
Me: "...*Khitan cursing*
-Galen's Jerky = Jerky of the Gods.  Delicious!
-Getting constant updates from Raxas that only I knew about besides him.  He he he  :

All that I have to say about feast is that it was probably the most delicious one yet from a year of coming to KR.  Whoever was cooking this meal, bravo!  You have satisfied a dragoon's mighty appetite  

-impressing Tari by eating feast with chopsticks.  Yup, cus cus, salad, even pie.
-helping to defend the Inn with Colin McKraegor (sp?) et al.  That was some pretty intense fighting and everybody did a pretty bang up job

Saturday Night:
-Creed's awesome bacon-wrapped sausage-thingy-mabobber.  Whatever it was, it was awesome.
-FULL POWER DRAGON FORCE MARSHMELLOW CATCH!!!  
-just finishing the BWSTM (see above) and getting dragged away by Magnus by my ear to go hunt a werewolf.  I love my W. Hunter teacher!
-finding out the werewolf was already dead, but getting free food from Alisandria!
-Antrim's "point-click" Incinerates.  They'll still always impress Misaki, and still always personally remind me of Roy Mustang  

And probably the biggest highlight out of an event that I've been to so far...LEARNING SPIRIT OF THE DRAGON FROM A DRAGON!!!  There's an absolute first!  Thanks to Vince for playing the Dragon and Bob for running the thing.  I owe you both a preferred beverage of your choices  

Sunday:
-long tangent about Dire Raccoons that I will sum up to in these facts...
1) Don't feed them
2) Don't try and befriend them unless you're trained
3) Don't try and scare them away by putting on a monstrous werewolf disguise and hoping it'll run away like a scared little raccoon.  It doesn't work...
4) Paul makes an awesome Dire Raccoon.  Thanks Paul!
-using these lessons to convince Misaki to some day be a Dragruid  
-waiting all weekend for the chance to use Lore: Lizardkin (because I can) and missing the mod that had lizardkin because of sleeping in a bit.  Boo.
-giving a couple trinkets to Kamei and then messing with her mind  :


Lowlights (but not really lowlights)
-getting stuck at KR til 9pm (but I got to spend more time with Shannon.  That's always cool)
-finding a tick in my side >.<  (that's ok too, got it out and I'm not diseased!)
-the cold (well...I like cold)


See you guys in a couple events or so!

Mary Beth has touched on something that has bugged me for a long time when I read the game Highlights.  As she stated the thread is called "Highlights" not "Highlights and Lowlights".  I'm not sure when this trend started, but somewhere in my 2 year absence it popped its ugly little head up and I have to say I find it to be a real downer.  Yes, there are all things we don't like but she is right, from one player to another; air the "lowlights" in the event feedback.  Believe me they do get read.

This is for everyone that has an issue with what this thread it for.
