The red strips on the fences and trees were something? We kept trying to find out what they were, but nobody seemed to know what they were or if they were even "in game" things.

You woke up the Monastery too....

Now I know who to hunt down when I am woken up by bagpipes after 2 hours of sleep...

I enjoyed this past weekend more than any other event I've attended, and I've had some damn fun events. I'm sure to leave out plenty, because everything was wonderful.

I said several times over the weekend that I think many female knight realms players judge how good an event was by how much they cried during it. If that's true, my event was a blast. I cried at least once per period. Invoke Crybaby!

Friday night was rough for me because the two characters I run to first whenever I have a problem were missing! However this lead to wonderful rp as I found a new shoulder to cry on, and let me tell you (as if you don't already know it) that Kwildar is a great crying shoulder for anyone. Mal, our conversation colored the rest of the weekend for me.

"We need to talk," from Lord Tartaros. *Gulp*

I can't say thank you enough to Diane, Luis, and Charlie for your help in the kitchen Saturday morning. I've learned a lot for next time.

Music box mod. Judge, watching you flit around from player to player whispering in their ears was great. I know I speak for more than myself when I say how great it is to have someone who works so hard to provide that personal touch whenever possible.

Getting to meet and speak with the older masters of the mage's guild at Janus' service. I think you all had a little too much fun blowing my mind with stories about the old days.

Feast pot roast was moist and delicious. Mmmm.

I don't know whose idea the projector was, but I jumped a mile when I came around the bend in the path and saw Xualla as tall as a tree!

My first lesson from Lord Ardentfyre. A very different teaching style than I am used to. Looking forward to more.

Gideon. Just Gideon.

Like I said, I'm leaving out a bunch of stuff here. Chances are if we talked at all during the weekend, you belong on my list. It was just that kind of game. Thanks to everyone involved! I'm eager to get to the Week in the Life.

This was my least favorite mod, quite possibly because I got dragged out of a really, really fun mod. IT is hard to get emotionally invested when you are off role wanting to finish out something you were really enjoying. But watching some of the character's responses was at least interesting. My biggest suggestion to that mod that would have made it more epic is if Judge was a bit more flexible in the player's efforts during that event.

First off, I have to echo Craig's comments. This was my first event, and I was a wee bit nervous and unsure about what it would be like coming into an established group who share a history. But from the moment I arrived, everyone was very welcoming and friendly. Highlights? There was sooo much happening, and of course I barely know anyone's name, so it's hard to give appropriate credit to everyone who deserves it. As a full time NPC I saw so many interesting snippets.

- The warrior who insisted on giving the human dolls and possessed townsfolk a proper after death sendoff despite their antics because it was the right thing to do
- Playing a lizard and coming around a tree hissing to come face to face with a growling Keavey... just so you know, apparently growl beats hiss *chuckle*
- Sunday morning as NPC's scavenging and finding all the people still alive, to our surprise. James sending us to the next town with promises of no people and lots of magical trinkets to scavenge. And repeatedly telling everyone we came across that he sent us there.
- The awesome RP as we came to "aid" the survivors and debunk the old storyteller. Everyone who interacted was awesome!
- A big thanks to Chris ( I know, there's probably more than one.... someday I'll be able to say which one) for Saturday night. During the huge main mod battle as I fought a small group he was a part of he immediately called a hold when he saw I was about to back into a burning smoke bomb I didn't realize was there. It was a huge relief to know people were watching out for each other (and me) over and above the event.
- Thanks to Cory for showing me around when I first got there, giving me tips about being an NPC, and stopping whenever he ran into me to ask how things were going.

Thanks again to all for the patience with a thousand questions about what this skill does or how much damage is that weapon. Thanks to all who fought my various NPC incarnations for patiently dealing with clarify over and over as I tried to figure out exactly how they were killing me this time. Thanks to the more experienced NPC's for patiently going over the cards and explaining them. And a big thanks to all the marshalls who answered what I'm sure felt like endless questions and gave advice and encouragement.

How could I forget! My three pet elementals that were brought by Ava and Zel and the gleeful look on my face as I showed them off to my brother and Gideon as I declared: "Look what I found!" Sure she didn't ACTUALLY find them, but she knew it would make her brother shake his head if it was said. Mal and Angel imitating Bat Cooper and the Guard as they marched was so hilarious. Bat--thanks for running with it when I said I think they want to march with them.

Aemorniel's interactions with her lord this moon were filled with little headshakes and smiles. Some people think Antrim is always really serious but somehow she has always been able to make him crack a smile or two. A prime example is the little smile Antrim gave when Aemorniel asked hesitantly if she could hug him when she first saw him after he was brought back as he gave permission, to which she took as permission to run up and full on glomp him. She loves her lord so she really was happy to see him back but trusted that he would come back. All of the vassals were happy in our own way--even clapping when Antrim was walking towards feast from the monastery though it made us look a bunch of assholes. Brodarvin love at its finest.
