May Highlights !

Hi there!!

Okay, first of all, I changed my username on the message boards. So, this is Craig Anderson, and I was playing the purple-haired satyr with the fuzzy legs. This was my first event ever.

As a new player, I was worried that KR might be cliquish and aloof. I found exactly the opposite to be true. SO many people asking me if I'd had any questions and if I was having a good time. I found myself apologizing for having so many N00B questions, but no one seemed to have a problem with any of that. So much helpfulness and goodwill. This must be how people get sucked into cults!! :woohoo:

So what moments stick out for me?

1. Dwarven Smiths, OMG the Dwarven Smiths.

"Why you have goat horns on your head? Did your mother have relations with goat?"
"No, him no GOAT! Him SAHtr"
"Soddr?"
"No, SAHtr"
"Him not Soddr! Soddr is when you melt metals to make them stick together ... ".
(I was dying. DYING!)

2. Meeting a fellow Satyr in Miss GinGinny GinRum, who explained to me the principles of fealty and vassalage.

3. The Drunken Bar Brawl in the woods was loads of fun. I felt like I couldn't do much since I had absolutely no offensive abilities, but found that I can use a stringed instrument to do exactly 0 damage when under the effects of a Berserker Rage brew. :lol: (Which also served to prove that the use of distraction should not be underestimated!)

4. Playing one of Granny's living dolls was the most fun ever. I know that we were not supposed to speak, but I pretty much decided that creepy unsettling laughter didn't count as "speech".

5. Becoming a vassal of Alisandria was a highlight for me. I've never been a vassal of ANYthing before! Such a fun group of folks.

6. NPC-ing as a small shocker lizard and watching the Thunder Lizards try to play catch with the PCs. :lol:

In general, it was just an amazing weekend, and I had bunches and bunches of fun. I know I'm forgetting things, but those five above were the ones that stick out for me. The only downside? I think my Wifey is already sick of me babbling about how wonderful it was! :lol:

I don't even know where to start oh my gosh ok Judge. Thank you so much for letting me NPC for you, this was the most emotional event I've had in a long time.

JJ, Alice and Jen. I don't have words to describe how much I love you three. Really upset I didn't get to witness Mina's death, but I really didn't need to cry anymore than I already did this event.

Emily A. and Matt M., I hope you two realise how much you changed this event. Maggie and Winnie were ready to stand by Victor until the very end, until you two came along. I could not find it in my heart to hold anything against either of you and when Magnus picked Maggie up to carry her back to Julie's body I just. My prosthetic almost fell off beause of how much I was crying.

For the most part, forgiving the town, except for Wormwood. I was ready to start fighting again if I could breathe at all but I had no voice left at all.

Achievement unlocked: make Steve Oros cry.

Though I didn't PC for very long, I got to bring Antrim through the Phokus, which was quite the experience. Resurrection is one of my favourite things to do, because you get to see sides of characters that they don't show. Part of Angelica is pretty sure she said too much to change his opinion and I just. OW MY HEART.

I love everyone I interacted with you're all awesome jshakahskalalal lots of hearts!!

I have yet to compile my thoughts as relates to the weekend. I wanted to say that as an RP marshal the level of intensity demonstrated by both the PCs and NPCs was superb. Much of the credit goes to Judge and the Monster Marshals who insured that everyone was well-prepared. Good role-playing is infectious. Newer players feed off of this and in turn become good players.

I never have awarded so many RP pts. On Sunday, I had to ask for cards. Sadly, I missed many other instances of excellent role playing, but one cannot be everywhere.

Congratulations to everyone who made this event one to remember. At least for "two weeks."

Wow this was just an amazing weekend. Every time I think I've experienced the whole gammet of KR something comes up to surprise me.

Normally I hate npcing but Friday night for Judge was so fun. It was really interesting to play a peasant and yell at the town all of the things I always wanted to say. I enjoyed getting the chance to meet a lot of newer pcs and answer a lot of their questions.

This was the first event in a very long time that I have actually been afraid to come into game and pc.

I saw such amazing rp this month that made me want to be a better player. I loved Jens' role as her npc I was so impressed, sadly I did not get to interact with the other npc's as much as I would have liked. I loved Judge's girls mod, turns out that we are really good at cat fightng

Every time I think I've run the whole span of emotions on Pesmerga even 5 years later it is coming back to bite me in the ass. It really continues to lead to interesting RP, thanks Geoff.

There were so many good rp moments this month from ironically defending Orias, to fighting with Billliumm to certain members of Kaledonia, Jack Cypher, and spending a surprising amount of time with the clergy, and so many more. Tari is definitely changing and its sort of terrifying since I don't know where all this is leading.

Last I really want to give thanks to Katelin C for painting the most amazing picture of Mike for us. It was truly beautiful. Thank you to everyone who came to his memorial including Chris, Jeremy, Brendan, and Liz, and Cooper. I am so glad all of you could make the trip. I think everyone who came made the event so special.

Last just the interesting rp that may force me to show up to the next event in two weeks, just because the amazing possibilities that may occur there.

What a great weekend! The plot was amazing, the mods a blast, and the special effects mind blowing! Thanks, Judge!

Saturday

-Arriving in town early morning to find bits of flesh hanging from trees was rather unnerving for Ben. Finding out what put them there didn't really help the situation.

-Following James up the road from Alisandria to the inn while playing the bagpipes was the single most exhausting 5 minutes of the weekend. Waking people up once I got into the inn did help to make up for it, though!

-Finally buying a sword was nice, then promptly getting to use it to get all the other guys away from the mermaid that was clearly singing to Ben was awesome! Being downed almost immediately, not so much.

-The doll mod was awesome! A big open field with lots of slow moving targets is a crossbowman's paradise!

-Craig, your doll RP was probably the best NPC character I saw all weekend, and you didn't speak at all, just a creepy laugh and a terrifying smile!

-Feast was awesome as always, plus we got new squires in Alisandria!

-NPC shift was great for main mod. Pyrotechnics, sound systems, and projectors all made this a memorable experience!

Sunday

-Being waken up by NPC's sticking their heads in the tent "YOU SURVIVED!" Then fumbling with the crossbow before they were chased off.

-Finally learning Nail is so exciting! I can't wait to use it in a couple weeks!

-My last "concert" of the weekend by the watchtower was great! I am pleasantly surprised with how well the bagpipes were received around camp, with my hat having been filled with coin during that last performance. The barbarian walking around with a spell packet probably helped a bit, too!

All in all, great weekend and I can't wait to see you all again next wednesday!

So aside from being in a state of semi-somnolence for most of the weekend, it was tons of fun finally getting to hang out with you all in-game and have conversations more meaningful than "RAAAARGH" *die.* And what an awesome weekend to come into the game! AMAZING amazing amazing everything, plot people - from turning up to find all the posters you'd spread around the camp, to poking at the entrails you'd slopped about the place, to the OUTSTANDING acting and costuming on behalf of all the NPCs (I'm not even going to pretend to have a shadow of a clue regarding what was going on, but you guys were brilliant!) Really awesome stuff. You guys royally kicked arse, whatever the heck it was you were doing, and I feel genuinely privileged to have been there to see it. Were we entertained? YES WE JOLLY WELL WERE.

Some EXCELLENT conversations with Gus spread across the whole weekend; talks about the nature of magic, gnomish inventions, and the general opinion of elves in Londwyn were all great! Looking forward to more in the future

Trying in vain to explain how to use a spanner. Many people asked; few understood, fewer didn't try to hit something with it. IT'S A DELICATE SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENT

A number of awesome moments with Shane and Chris as Seamus and Bran - particularly Bran's impassioned warnings about supernatural beings, and Seamus demonstrating the benefits of magic by punching Arthur in the stomach. Great stuff guys, I love what you do!

Consistent awesomeness from the Ostcliff crew. You guys rock! I love the way your characters seem so tight-knit. It's very cool to see a land where the nobles really form a cohesive unit - as one would expect them to do.

A little impromptu sneaking lesson with Clove, which became surprisingly poignant when a bunch of giant lizardkin showed up to darken our day.
"Follow your instincts!"
"Ah... Right-o!" *runs away*

Really playing up the Londwyn-Selendrian condescension with a number of pointy-eared people. Big kudos to those of you who totally rolled with it and acted out the Selendrian mindset of judging individuals as, well, individuals, rather than judging races as a whole. It's a really cool dynamic and I'm looking forward to more of the same further down the line!

A very well-executed Tower Mod, which ran smoothly despite being plagued by every possible unfortunate occurrence! Thankyou Katie and Matt for a lovely afternoon in the maze

Chatting with Blacktree and Almat in the bar on Saturday night. Dat good ol' sheltered Londwynian stupidity. I was basically asleep on my feet at that point, but I remember some great moments listening to you both explain what you knew of Katta physiology - hope you both had fun too.

Returning my card to logistics on Sunday afternoon to discover that various people had sneakily signed a bunch of RP points onto it! You devious little rascals! Thankyou for all the love - it's a great feeling knowing that someone somewhere has been enjoying your acting.
