I had so much fun this event, including staying up all night Friday into Saturday.

I'm just going to say THANK YOU ADAM! You did a great job for your first plot and I know a lot of people enjoyed it.

- Gypsies, gypsies and more gypsies. I know most of the town hates us, but we love you!
- Finding out Friday night that two of my direct relatives had come to town!
- Having to hold a funeral for one about 24 hours later.
- Two gypsy funerals, it was rough.
- Lina realizing it's time to be a big girl now ::Sings Fergie:: but she did cry, a lot.
- Staying up all night with Paetros and Markos and running around battling straight for about 6-7 hours. First time ever staying up all night, but it was so much fun.
- Great role play from almost everyone I met.
- Tari complementing the four gypsies who went on Big Boy mod (Paetros, Zafrin, Illona and Lina) on how they stuck together and covered each other's backs. And saying that the town should really learn from us on how to work together. Our answer? That's what family does.
- Did I mention gypsy plot? 
- Sunday morning hang out time with hookah and tin flutes.

I hope everyone got home and got hydrated. See you in about 2 months!

Awesome weekend, everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves.

-Gypsy funerals were sad but great RP. Adi, thanks for being such a good sport and laying in the fire pit. Shannon, thanks for being that NPC, you inspired a lot of fantastic things this weekend.

-Conversation with Magnus on Saturday was a lot of fun. Its very difficult IC to let my guard down to have serious conversations outside of the family.

-New players!!!

-High level main mod was a lot of fun, first time I ever truly fought in main mod. Even after all the buffs were gone and I was becoming more of a liability, it was enjoyable.

-Business discussions after main mod while people were shouting to their good friend Larry were hilarious.

The only weather I hate worse than heat is more heat with high humidity.
Tons of NMewbs - most excellent.

Possibly my best RP event ever.

There is nothing in my experience to compare with Judge or Alissa (whose name, I am certain, I am misspelling).  Watching the two of them feed off one another is like seeing two world class musicians playing together, the synergy ramping up their performance levels.  Worth the 40 bucks just to watch.

Adam's game, though flawed in certain design aspects, was entertaining.  Given who played with me, the game did not have a chance.

Going to sleep 04:30 and being woken at 6 to be informed that a healer (!!) was needed at the inn.  Gave thanks that I slept in boxers under my silk sleeping T.  Excellent session, with all playing their roles completely as they should.  Steve O was wonderful as a Demon Knight with just the right mix of attitude, persuasion at the point of a knife, and self preservation.

Sewing a second limb on the same person and bemoaning the fact that there were no Physician assistants to be found.  He asked me why I begrudged 7 minutes and I told him that represented about 10% of my sleep that night.

Asking Lena (the second person I asked) to wake Fr. Paul - she has the perfect IG demeanor to do it.

After 8 months of continuous research acquiring that which I sought.  The repercussions and reverberations will continue for some months, if I am not mistaken.  FOIG  However, Kudos to all who took part.  We are going to be doing a lot of interacting.  

From the above, Edwin finding out that he has friends who would risk much for him.

Sorel having nothing to say when I mentioned he has no honor with me until he recovers that of mine which was stolen while in his possession.  Ditto for Seamus.

Funny highlight of the Event (The male Gypsies being second)
New player - Where is Seamus?
Me.  DelDragon?
Newb - Not crazy Seamus, new Seamus

Taught something from three different lists to several different people.

A hot scrubbing shower, going to coll upon my return home, followed a few hours later with uninterrupted sleep in cool weather.

Thanks to all - it was real.

Asking Lena (the second person I asked) to wake Fr. Paul - she has the perfect IG demeanor to do it.

It's spelled Lina, but thanks! What you didn't hear was me grumbling to myself as I carried Kwildar up the hill. I had been up all night fighting anything and everything and had already lost and held a funeral for a family member. Lina was at the end of her rope.

I was unsure how my reception would be, being that it was my first game and I was playing a newer race (the Sylph). However, despite getting caught in traffic and managing to show up about 5 minutes before lay-on the weekend was well worth the trip.

Pretty much everyone I interacted with both IC and OOC was friendly, willing to explain things as a million questions came up, and more than inclusive. Even if was just to let me sit and stare at you.

Just a couple very brief highlights:
-In the middle of main mod, ignoring the very real combat going on around us and starting a sparring match with Lathien.
-After standing inches from a fight watching it, "You don't understand that they can hurt you, do you?
-The entire conversation in the Inn Friday night with Jake L (sorry, your PCs name escapes me at the moment), Ardenfyre and company.
-Hanging out with the Satyr (Sage?). The viewpoints between characters are so very different. Though I'm not sure if word play is better or worse once the other person knows what you're going to say.
-Being called a 'bug thing'. It's still making me snicker when I think of it.

All in all it was a great way to spend a weekend and though I won't be able to make it back till Oct./Nov. I am already looking forward to and planning for it.
Thanks everyone.
