May 2010 Highlights

One more fun moment before you guys come back from the alt event

Friday Night

Farmer: This is a disaster we lost our crops in the frost last moon and now these Drow are attacking our home land of Kaladonia.
Typhon: Don't despair there is nothing from which Nature cannot come back.
Farmer: What the Drow are coming back?!

I had a lot of fun this event. It was only my second event but i met alot of cool people and had some really fun moments!

Just a few highlights.....

- Meeting some more barbarians
- Watching Hammish teach someone how to charm..."GET BACK IN THERE AND USE YOUR WORDS!!" and also him teaching my character to read and write. "A is for ale.."
-Being the gold golem and attacking the inn with 3 others. This was the first time I was an NPC this powerful and it was a RIOT fighting all those people. Also the look on peoples faces when i kept saying "no effect". Especially the druid.
Druid casts spell
Me: "No effect."
Druid: "It's Druidic!!"
Me: "No effect"
Druid: *runs away*
That was classic! I do not know the druid's name in or out of game but it was well played by him!
-seeing all the brawling and roughhousing on sunday before cleanup hold. "Wait for the picture!" Well done Andy that was funny! You even cracked the photographer up!
These were just a few of the many highlights for me this event. Thanks to all for making this a great experience for me!!!!

Wow.  I sure got ganged up on in a hurry - on the forums and in private messages.  Maybe I should look at this stuff more.

Alright, then.  I know when I'm outnumbered by brass.

But I didn't start the "lowlight" custom - I'm just following what others have set.

I've never seen Player-on-player action do ANYTHING but cause heartache and bad feelings.

Any player who gets his jollies by stepping all over sleepy lower-levels is not worth playing with - whether doing so is "by the rules" or not.  In a larger sense, there are lots of things that are "legal" that are still "wrong," and in an RPG sense, doing things that you KNOW will detract from the collective enjoyment of the game is bad form, whether it's "in character" or not.

I reference Rich Burlew:

Specifically, under the "Decide to Act Differently" section: "Every decision your character makes is your decision first. It is possible and even preferable for you to craft a personality that is consistent but also accommodating of the characters the other players wish to play."

And I'm not sorry for saying so on a public forum.  I think it's great that you want to "keep things quiet," but that rarely gets stuff fixed.

Hi Andy,

PvP is a part of Knight Realms that many players enjoy.  Some specifically come to KR to engage in it, under the guidane that it is fair, by the rules, and accepted as a part of the game.

You are welcome to your opinion about PvP, but other people are welcome to theirs, too.  Some of them enjoy it.  The end decision rests with the owner of the game, and he has made his decision public and clear by the game's rules and policy.  As such, it does not need to be "fixed" - it is working as the owner of the game, and its players, want it to.

Hi, Geoff,

"As such, it does not need to be 'fixed' - it is working as the owner of the game, and its players, want it to."

Well.  Some of its players - maybe even most.  My "lowlight" isn't really about the rules, anyway.

But I do hope you guys enjoy this weekend's event.  I'm afraid I'll not be able to participate.

Andy, let me be the first to say how absolutely DEVASTATED we shall all be not to have you grace us with your presence this weekend </sarcasm>

if you don't care for how our game works, I suggest you try Mystic Realms or Realms of Adventure.

Also, I'd like to take this moment to make a HUMONGOUS public apology to David Reyes (Typhon Scaldinga), who I've been mistaking you for since your very first event.

Sorry David!
