June 2011 Week in Life

First, a tip of the hat to Katie O., who suffered a split lip and a loose tooth on main mod anbd did not list that as a lowlight.

The extended event can be summed up succinctly - WOW.  I am not often at a loss for words.

During the first two days I was able to have conversations with people without being called to battle or something.  Thursday's Mass was also uninterrupted.

Made Ceremonial Scrolls - lots of them.  Because Jackie A had a great paying gig, she had to leave, meaning I had to spend full time on many of them.  You're OK Jackie, but Msgr Moonshadow, never a great favorite, It only beat on my crap list by people of a Tekmplar order named Tellinghast.  But I was not disturbed by anything except one time some of the Allisandrian rats approached and I explained what would happen if they interrupted me.  Very short life span once I spoke.

I had a diverse set of skills to learn for Edwin and racked them all, and Thorin made a rare daytime appearance, telling some people his name was Thorin and others it was something else.

Going to the Stump at 1510 to consfrimn the time for lobster/Kraken dinner.  Being told the wrong time.  Having to eat reheated lobster, without butter, no hammer or knife providded, no accomoations, forcing me to eat on Amizar's porch, where the gnats feasted.  In short, in almost five years of eating in Travance, it was the worst prepared, worst, decor, and most uncomfortable seating I have ever had the mispleasure to suffer.  It makes my highlights because I got to tell that to both Ming Na and Rudolph.  Charlie was pissed as I am a diabetyic and not eating until 2100 really played havoc with my sugar, but as Larry will tell you, I did not raise my voice, even when I found out Ming had payed a sorcerer to place a mithyl barring Valosian Ceremonialists.  

Regular Event
Getting into trouble for following a noble's order.  Really guys, you do not have to make things up.
Gus completely misrepresenting the situation.  There will be serious IG repurcussions, boyo.
As a quick smmation, I was absolutely pleased with the first part of the event.
Spending over 2K for the Church (remember I am a greedy bastard) and still being comfortable.
Asking Rudolph what do I gain from his discount scheme, and him saying it might make me less unpopular.  Laughed and told him I am not running for office so poularity need not be purchased.

People were shocked when I actually did not take gold for Saturday and Sunday breakfast.  For those with no funds I relented, but charged 3 gold.  BTW, as a real lowlight I found out my gold was stolen OOG.  I do not bitch as Charlie when Edwin is robbed, but OOG SUCKS.  If you have to cheat, stay home.  If I misspoke, some officer can remove that sentence.

Evadne was playing when I first arrived in 2006.  We had our first real interaction and it was cool.  Steve Oros is good about understanding that when Edwin teaches skills to a priest of Cjhronicler, his is not a noble during the lesson.

Teaching Willpower to Seamus the Sane (I know your name, but it is too good a nickname for me to drop).  I always tailer Willpower to the person, and except for teaching it to Gideon some years back, I was never in fear of attack until this lesson.  Still, that WAS the lesson.  Excellent RP.

Canadian Kate (now just boring Kate as she is living in the US).  Told her Rosa would make a perfect wife because contrary to what some of us live, alomst all men would like varienty.  Rosa is a different race almost monthly.

Really pissed that Brogan and Brax, with some assistance, killed all the Glomite.  Great - you killed some ants.  I assume no=ne told yu where the queen is located.

Explained to Ilana Darkwood, and I am hoping I am spelling her first name right, that she has to order her life and cease using certain phrases.  It took twenty minutes to get information that I summarized to Tirsen in 30 seconds - and some of the data was incorrect.

Two scholars telling me it was too hard to find a manuscript to learn a lore.  Its called research for a reason.  I know where all the books are, but then, I penned most of them.  Subtle hint there.

There are other things, but I am being brief.  

Amazing event.

Highlights: 

The Bloody Stump.

Lessons with Derrick.

All of the delicious and perfectly made food that I enjoyed in the back room.

Hooka.

Politics Politics Politics.

Getting to see that even though your a billion levels.  In Character Actions can have grave In Character Consequences.

More Politics.

Yes Abendroth, you dress worse than I do... here's some gold....

Gazelle and Venison with the Blackthornes.

Dragging the bodies of my friends to the barracks on the rickshaw at 5:30.

Getting a Butler.

Lowlights:

Sleep deprivation.  Thank you all for those who finally put me down.

Gus completely misrepresenting the situation.  There will be serious IG repurcussions, boyo.

Lol Don't shoot the messenger,  I just take quotes and repeat them verbatim!

It was good to be back in Travance!

I got nothing done. It was glorious. I am not being sarcastic. Everyone should try doing nothing in particular during an event.

Charlie! Amizar cannot possibly have the worst decor in Travance, because I gave Paul my shiny blue tablecloth

I learned how to build a fire and chopped wood. Don't tell the town guard; I hear Londwyns caught with axes are to be killed on sight

Deer burger was omnomnom.

My only real sadness was having some kind of horrific allergy attack that sent me home before the weekend portion of the event. I am still incredibly grateful for the weekday portion of the event; perhaps now more people know that you can have fun at KR without hitting a single thing for days. After all, it's how I've spent my last two years.

Two nice moments - Zach and Diane playing Alesandrian peasants and referring to Lord Blackthorn as Lord Tubby.  Seems that their peasants are from the LA bayeau and their last names should be Thibideaux or something, because they sure had the accent.

Beating JimBob in arm wrestling.  I have witnesses.  OK, he felt a twinge and thought is wiser to cease and let me win.  And there is his whole lack of sleep thing, and he was only going around 3/4 strength to start.  Still, a win is a win.  No rematch, sorry.

After everything that everyone mentioned that I was a party to the only thing that I could ad was those funny moments here and there, like; "go ahead and run", he's thinking "oh no I've seen this movie, two bruthas one of me"... ok so you had to be there...

suffice to say Knight Realms Rocks OUT LOUD,
Thank you James, the Marshal's, storytellers, npc's and the KR community as a whole you all made this week unforgettable. I really don't know how your going to top this one next year but I'm looking forward to another week in the life event...
