Heh, I'm glad folks appreciated that. It was a rare opportunity for me to play something quite so ... different, and a big Thank You to Jeff McClean for giving me a role to play that I was capable of playing while my back was screaming at me to stop doing combat, and just sit and clean Logistics.

good god! it's great not being cannon fodder anymore!!! :lol: dispite being a total noob at this event, I did find some good people and I infact picked up more information about the game playing as a pc then I did when I was npcing.

Friday night:
Pros:
- Getting to play a character! I was so nervous! my personallity needs work...
- Ostcliff quickly taking me in as their own. with no questions... except my name...
- my npc shift! playing a thief who leaves posions in people's pockets is pretty cool... even better that the two alchemists studying that night took a lot of my posions! (I was telling the truth, I didn't steal anything) hahahaha!
- the moonlight and the atmosphere. whoever was howling that night, I could hear you from wherever I was. I was scared! for reals!
- being part of a mod that involes a characters life being at stake! a few of them!

Cons:
- The traffic on the way there, didn't get in till 9 and it stopped me from doing things that night
- Not being able to remember many names, I'm really sorry a lot of the time I was overwelmed by what was happening, chances are I'll ask for your name at least 4 times before it sinks in
- npc shift was from 2-6am... I was cold and my feet were killing me...
- feet were frozen for most of the weekend... anyone know where I can find better shoes?? :pinch:

Saturday:
Pros:
- Marketplace. I got 2 sword holders so I don't need to hold a weapon all the time! it really helped!
- Not to metion I got a awesome cupcake and get food from the arch bishop, (thank you so much!! )
- wandered around for a little bit and found a flower mod I can particiate in... I really didn't mind getting lost, that's what I was doing in the first place~ :lol:
- treasure hunt mod! I love solving puzzles... if I knew the game had a potion of siren in it would of been easier. oh well
- finding out that my armor has 40 ap with a +2 soak... YES! I don't block well!
- Helping with feast! I'm so used to being in a kitchen, that serving doesn't phaze me the slightest~
- Making Louis the cook laugh. I was getting intimidated for a moment.
- The food!
-Getting my picture taken by Kyle Ober... having fun picking a picture. thank you for the lolz!
- diggy diggy hole! I'm digging a hole!
- trying hookah for the first time! I'm going to take it easy the next time.
- having an idea for a my character, not sure if I can still change it a bit... anyone know?
- main mod, even though it was kind of meh, a lot of roleplay happend.
- as I was playing, I completely forgot about real life. :blush:

Cons:
- I personally love to be up by 9am to deal with getting dressed and maybe taking a shower so I'm not making people wait to use the bathroom, but I didn't get up till about 11 or 12. (I blame the 2-6 npc shift )
- While we were lost on the mod, there was a lot of thorny things poking at my skin I have a few scraches on me... really no one's fault but they did bother me.
- estimating how much bp and ap I had... this is something I need to get used to.
- I hate my feet...
- dozing off with the baron in the tent... I probably missed a lot and they were poking fun at me

Sunday Morning:
Pros:
- woke up and realized we we're being attacked. Hurry! Many pretend lives are at stake!
- I really was exusted... I like doing everything and giving my all!
- Watching people practice
- More roleplay had occured, as people came to the inn and attacked!
- getting to meet the poeple I rped with, and helping them pack.
- the drive home. mostly the look on the toll collecter's face seeing an elf in the car with my boffer weapons in the back... it didn't dawn on me till I drove away.... :lol:

Cons:
- dropped like a noob! TWICE!! lmao!!!
- I really was exusted... havent had enough sleep.
- not really sure how to use build and need to pick a teacher. I should get more involved in the story. curse my shy disposition... :pinch:
- Leaving.
- the first thing I did when I got home... fell asleep on the couch for 2 hours... :lol:

thank you for the amazing weekend!!!! I look foward to going again soon!

The event was great.

Friday night was filled with rumors, slow walks, and great interaction with the people that know Oren fairly well. With Ilana's abduction, and the failed attempt to save her the first time, I had to amp myself for Oren's break down in the monastery and the inn as well.

Saturday brought some great revelations in character, and some fairly large drama that will keep some aspects of the game very interesting for a little while. Including the second mental break down of the weekend, after an un-resistible surge and all that followed, including tracking down, and talking to all the other wildmages that were there this month.

Feast and NPC shift were great as per usual.

Sunday had me learn a few things about how I deal with situations in game and out. The master warrior lesson was awesome. Thank you both , Walter, and Zach. Also have a few new deals worked out for the Bacon Hut, and a few ideas on the horizon; so here's to making more gold, and perhaps expanding in the future.

only down sides were: seeing so many friends being sick all event or getting there by the end, and having to handle the loss of most of my in game things due to dropping a bag while chasing down a mod (no worries, I can recover pretty easily, after replacing one or two things.).

over all a great event.

I hope I can remember all of the things I want to say....

FRIDAY:

~Talking with a drunk Orias Wormwood. While ALL of the conversations Ava had with him were awesome this had to be my favorite because it was the start of all the other crap Ava was going to get herself into... (Thank you Alex for some really interesting Roleplay, probably some of the best I have ever gotten to experience so far)

~ Ava getting her marriage annulled after the whole "Choking and keeping her obedient fiasco" (Again thank you Alex for you know.. all of that choking and dominating talk, and to the person who was playing that drow [I didn't recognize you ] who kept telling Jack to choke and hit me)

~Ava getting feared by Wormwood, making this the second time a man has been able to actually get her rattled up. Caused her to learn some of the things she did.....

~Dr. Maxwell lessons....... because Ava hates going outside in the middle of the night....

~Drinking an old Na recipe that Chaotic altered me... but before then kneeing Jack in the balls after he tried to hug me, then doing it again when he tried to do it again...



SATURDAY:

~Doing like 5 gold worth of shots at 9:30 in the morning. Drinking seemed to be Ava's way to get more amusement out of everything that was going on..

~Magic lesson with Carlotta! Learning that it's actually something sitting on your shoulder when you cast Wyvern Watch!

~Right after the lesson getting pulled outside by Ming and YELLED AT FEROCIOUSLY talking to Wormwood....and also finding out that somehow it had become a rumor that Jack actually choked me.

~Later being pulled(More like thrown...) aside by James Hellock and yelled at again and being warned that if he saw me talking to Wormwood again I'd pretty much get effed up. And that they had heard from someone that Ava's intentions were to have "relations" with Wormwood. I'm not sure where that rumor came from, but it's interesting none the less.

~ Talking to Wormwood anyway, and having him thank me for something I had said.

~Feast was yummy yummy yummmmmmm.

~ Getting drunk again and making the mistake of asking a member of ostcliff to find out secrets about someone else in ostcliff in exchange for marriage..

~Everyone continuing to warn Ava about Wormwood....which she keeps blowing off because of her own personal amusement with the man....

~Seeing Ming and Darson sit down with Wormwood and start talking, becoming so paranoid about it that she found the nearest able scholar to write her scrolls that allow her to be not so truthful....

~Trying to figure out what the conversation was about but not really succeeding.


SUNDAY:

NPC shift:

~ MERCHANT MOD WAS SO AWESOME I EVEN GOT A PIGGY BACK RIDE. I had so much fun. Even though I got waylayed twice and both times I fell for it it turned from a fake fall into a real fall because of hills.


After NPC shift:

~ Having Ming saying hello to someone next to me but he just looked at me and walked away, then hearing there was talk of possible dis-ownment....

~Talking to Zai while keeping an eye on Wormwood. Which led to this conversation:

Zai leans in : "Your father's bodyguard keeps staring at me"
Ava looks behind her finally noticing James who was giving her a death glare
Ava: "Oh don't worry, he's staring at me"

(Apparently he had been staring at me for like twenty minutes)

OVERALL:

Receiving my first RP point

I can't wait to see how all of this develops and whether or not Ava will get out of all of this unscathed. Seeing whether she will still be a Na at the end of all of this and seeing if she had mislaid her trust with certain people.

I won't be at the alt event but I will be there in April! Thanks for the great game guys!

If by "people tried waking me up" you mean "Tori screamed at the top of her lungs for me all the way from the tower field to the inn while running with Goley over one arm" then yes, that is correct.


Norm - I blame Cy and JJ!!

Friday:
-Finding out all sorts of crazy things!
Saturday:
-More physician lessons from Illana.
-Research party!
-Being informed by Belegchand that I am now an honorary scholar.
-Helping to find out and inform people of new information was a huge improvement on my usual cluelessness.
-Toasting the mages guild before feast began with my friends, only to have the count announce the successful fight with the arcanite about 30 seconds later.
-Teaching another mage a spell for the very first time!
-Yet another awesome Tarot session. Can't wait to read for more people.
Sunday:
-So many gems....
-Seeing a large group of people heading down the path and nonchalantly joining them out of boredom, turning into my favorite mod of the event. Helping a spirit recover things taken from him by grave robbers, and suddenly having a crazy vision. Carlotta hates graveyards!
-Teaching advanced literacy and teach for the first time ever.
