May 2011 highlights

I missed this event due to things beyond my control.

Lowlight
1. Missed event due to work.
2. Work on Saturday sucked.
3. Got into a fight because of Saturday work.

Highlights...
1. Got to celebrate my mom's 60th birthday with her.
2. Went to Boston to see Panic at the Disco live.
3. Ate some really good lobster dinner.
4. Learned no matter how much "fun" I try to have without KR, its not the same.

Missed you guys and I hope it was a good event. See you in June... I hope.

Much like Paul, I missed most of the event.  I was lucky enough to make it by for a few hours at the very end - even if it was for one NPC role, it was good to see everyone.

It's been a while since I wrote one of these.

First and foremost, I wanted to thank those who welcomed me back.

Highlights:

-Playing one the Ogre Magi Slayers that protected the nest at the hilltop. It was a good combat experience.
-Market faire went well, I had more fun talking to people who just came up to say hello. 
-Seeing old friends and making new acquaintances.
-Playing one of the zombies around 2 or so Saturday morning with the two who accompanied me. Glad we could spoke a few people 
-Feast went by real well. Thank you to those who lent a hand in the kitchen.

Hope to see you sometime in the nearby future.

Highlights:
*feast clean up being a lot less painless then in past months.
*presenting Gaia tree cake to lords during feast and not tripping.
*Finding out the real reason people thing I'm higher level then I actually am.
*Going on Lowbee sword mod. War or Passion... "All the Gypsy's best be taking passion!" "wait do we have healers?"
*Sword Mod- Constantly volunteering to possibly take damage so other people didn't possibly die if we couldn't figure out the riddles.
*Talking with Kwildar and breaking him with a comment about my suggestion for his Templar test
*Kwildar asking me "Ekatarina, do you love Rayven" "He is my teacher. Nothing more. Plus he smells funny." I don't think that was the answer Kwildar was looking for.

Low Lights:

*being told "10 more minutes" and ending up sitting out main mod because our low level mod was about to start any moment
*sitting at the inn bored while after dinner pre main mod went off because there was nothing to do. Good role play happened but it was boring.

Highlights:

1. Being part of a ring of Gypsies that seemed to think nothing was funnier than stealing Tobar's throwing knives every five seconds just for the look on his face.

2. Very good roleplay with all of the lessons I participated in as a student. Even the ones I simply listened in on were very well thought out and in-character.

3. Everyone was very friendly and patient with my newbie questions.

4. Singing pirates at feast.

5. Not dying! Woo!

It was awesome being back, and feeling somewhat useful in Travance this month.  Thanks to everyone who made this event so spectacular!

Highlights:

• Coming back to Travance in general this month.  I have missed being here so much.
• Learning enough literacies that most people would have to poor at least 3 full levels into learning them. Yay 1 build languages!
• Starting my chosen path of study, and realizing part way through the event I have a lot of work to do on something else before I can do that.
• Researching for the first time!

• Getting to go on the Malorn Tree mod, despite having 2 body and being an 8th level scholar.  This was HUGE for my character given the past things he's gotten involved in, and, once I have the official document written up IG and approved by a very specific list of IG people, it will be posted SOMEWHERE IG so everyone can learn it.
• Sword mod, and being able to give an inspiring speech, despite having basically no voice.  Also, just the mod in general.  Thank you Wally and all NPCs who helped out on that.
• On the car ride home realizing I will be able to learn Expert Identification, and thus Master Teach, in June instead of July like I had thought.
• Feast was delicious! Thanks to everyone who cooked it!
• My IG teachers.  There were a lot of you, but you all were remarkable with it.
• Teaching. I guess there are reasons why I want to become an OOG teacher.
• Lunch (I guess it was lunch?) in Winterdark was awesome.

Lowlights

• Losing my voice, and flubbing a psalm verbal because of it.  The worst part was I didn't get the verbals themselves wrong, just couldn't get out the spell name.  There's one Divine Sphere of Protection I wish I could have used.
• Realizing I'm going to be 10th level in June (people who realize why this may be a problem, you know who you are), and thus making the answer to an IG question even more important than I previously realized. 

Again, thank you to everyone who made this weekend amazing!
