September 2011 Event Highlights

It was a short event for me, but a good one nonetheless.

* Kubb!  (a.k.a. "Barbarian Mead Pong"): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kubb
    (It turns out I was wrong on how to hold the sticks - they SHOULD be vertical, the person who showed me how to play was wrong.)

* First lesson in Sorcery!  RP with Ethan / Judge is always wonderful.

* The first dedicated use of Smithing Assistant.  Once you get someone helping, things move a LOT faster.

* The Wedding!  Everyone involved put forth their best, and it was wonderful all around - may this be the first IG wedding to last forever.

Sadly, I had to retire early and leave early for a class back in White Plains - I'll see everyone in October!

I didn't go to the event but I hope everyone enjoyed the cupcakes dessert I sent up. I am still feeling the sugar high from the icing on the ones that didn't go to the event. Might have to play with that butter cream recipe a little bit.

I don't often post highlights, but this event was both my worst and best event in recent memory.

The trial was nerve-wracking, took forever, and ultimately went about as bad for me as it possibly could have.

The resulting Ralinfolly-Day Massacre thereafter was of course extremely cathartic for me. To those of you innocents who ended up in the middle of it and were adversely affected, I sincerely apologize.

Highlights:

Coast Haven entertainment at feast. Seriously, it was awesome

NPC Friday getting everyone intoxicated. I still say the orc should have done more damage.

Red Velvet Cake YAY!!

Hammish....just plain Hammish...do I really need to say more?



Lowlights:

Getting stabbed in the eye Thank you everyone for being so nice.

All of Saturday...seriously couldn't do much

Mosquitoes!! All of them!!

(edit) Oh yeah, and the watermelon juice that takes a long time to strain and makes a huge mess getting spoiled cause I didn't know the fridge was broken.

I think that's everything.

After being away for so long, it was a pleasure to come back to such strong rpers and the characters you played.

My highs were as follows:
- I was impressed and delighted by Jack Cypher, whom at first had earned my character's enmity as a Londwyn hailing from a Lordling, when we slipped into a conversation entirely in OOG Victorian/Elizabethan Cant. To Jack, I cannot wait to talk a bit more; bene darkmens, you gentleman, and watch out for the pigs...you don't want to share tea with them. Lets find us a rug at the academy and talk a bit more about this uncle of yours.

- To the npcs whom played "One-eyed Pete" and his pupil, "Stuttering Tammy" you portrayed some of the finest level of npc driven story/plot/rp that I've ever seen. While the topics you discussed were serious, you were both light hearted at times and allowed for moments of humor and humbleness to shine through without ruining the seriousness of your cause. To the towns-folk (lower levels especially) that helped me to rally our assault on the Obsidian Raptor School, you were wonderful. Thank you for your hubris as well as your aid.

The only Low that I had was a silly little incident of possible meta-gaming wherein one individual used out of game knowledge to ruin something that took a great amount of finesse and time to accomplish. To you~ if you read this post~ I'd hope for the future that you'll be able to enjoy the game more without breaking the rules, and I'm looking forward to rping with you in the future.

As a final note, thank you staff, because without you, we'd still be sitting around the Inn smoking hookah and relaxing without a single lizardkin or goblin (or bacon pig) to trouble us.


**As a final shout-out, one of my absolute favorite moments was during feast where Gideon, sitting at another table called out to me and said "Bolton, we don't have any napkins" and then watching the look of shock on his face as Bolton the Southern Londwynian called back, "That's why you have your neighbor's sleeve!"
