January 2012 Highlights!

Wow. That was awesome.

NPC shift was on Friday was awesome. The high point was watching the Super Scooby Gang convince the NPCs to give them the mod specific item. Good job, Super Scooby Gang!

Saturday: It was mod-tastic. The Trial of Creation mod could have gone very very poorly from an out of game perspective because there were a lot of people fighting in a tight space. However, there was a lot of consideration on the part of all involved and it worked really, really well.

The Trial of Peace. AKA; where Bat became "Country Fried Remi", got the peace item, and then was quickly tossed in the monastery.

Being stuck in the monastary. The player of Bellechang is really, really good at playing crazy. And the player of Ekat is really, really good at eating a sandwich in a rather blase manner. In between urgent requests to wander. I myself worked on perfecting my lying on the ground and trying to get some rest. I had a feeling it was going to be a long night.

Feast. Feast was awesome. I'll spare you the foodie elaboration.

Then we got the time between feast and main mod. Great RP was had by all. Bolton=awesome.

The big ritual. That was intense. I think it is one of those things that will be more fun in the telling than it was in the doing. However, even at the moment it was super fun doing some Tai Chi action on War. Great job good and evil aspects!

Sunday: Sunday was fun but I was too busy being wiped from Sunday to have any good adventures.

-To the Advocate of Peace: At first, I really had no idea where you were going with your demonstration of the concept. You weren't refuting any of my arguments. It wasn't until the ride home that I realized, that was the point - you weren't fighting me, only stating fact. Hats off to you, buddy.

Why thank you. It was some awesome RP. In between trying to figure out if I still had toes I had to ask myself. "How do you fight war?" The answer is, of course, you don't. War always wins a fight.

Continuation of my highlights:
I also want to say thank you to zach and Cy for coming up with the plot for this weekend!

Anyway...
Double cast vertigo as an NPC, yeah, that was fun. And probably the best waste of a higher list skill i have ever done.

Then there was the shield mastery lesson in the morning, which was more of a game of "how many times can we hit Elric with vertigo?"

Surprisingly I did not teach any lessons this event.

I cannot wait until February though, hopefully my legendary work will be approved by then.

My only lowlight would be getting hypothermia during main mod.

Thursday....Yes I am starting on Thursday lol

Thank you Donta Slack, Frank & the many others who came down & helped out to get the Yurt back up! Curt you Da man FYI

Friday- Thanks to everyone who helped finish setting up and decorate the Yurt. It really helped with atmosphere for the weekend.

Doug P you effort of running plot it was amazing. As a former ST of many larps I know what effort it takes to run plots, thank you so much for making the game action packed! Seeing Andy & Matt W Portal into the Yurt with the Commodore was Grand! My poor low level daughter being torn apart was dare I say emotional gold !!

Doug P's evil goodness is in fact so grand that he incorporated a brand new player to Knight Realms in his plot. My Friend Sam Owens who I have know for over ten years. He just started playing and his pc was tied up with the plot. When I found out I was flabbergasted both IG and OOG !!!!
It made my weekend!

Count Winterdark walking into the Yurt - "Interesting home you all have...did not your people invent walls? Yet you don't use them in your home" having him hanging out with Ostcliff was awesome!

Khitain New year- Tea, hooka, sky lanterns, incense, Telling my daughter where is my grandchildren! Hearing the words "Cowmyrians" to describe Kormyrians was nothing short of amazing.

Saturday - Chris Goley thank you so much you know why....!
Helping out in Logistics learning the Monster Marshal stuff first with Jimbob now with Goley both great guys and learned a lot.

Over all so much action this weekend was nice...Wile the weather was wet on Friday this weekend was GRAND! If this is the pace of this coming year we are all in for a BiG BIG treat!

I wanted to quote this as this was the total highlight of my weekend. It was the first time I was ever involved in anything directly and I LOVED IT. Ava has definitely been effected by this. IT was the first time any character has done anything to her for her being a mouth off.


Just my two cents though

Come on, the great tax war of 1212 didn't make the highlights?

In no particular order
Most of my highlights stem from the political discourse over the course of the event.
"90%" of my time spent in or around Orias
ARTHUR
Cabin Progress (thanks guys!)

O SH&%%&( Yes that well deserves a mention! LOL That was GREAT RP, and a hell of a wake up mod. Shaking down the lords for gold I expected to get magic blasted though the door. was lots of fun
