Arrrrrrgust 2016 Highlights

First, Dethie was not a fan of this weekend because pirate reasons, but aside from that - and the weather, of course - it was great. Blame the weather on the pirates. Yes, that'll do.

In no particular order:

-Statehouse + AC = \o/ Thanks to Lord and Lady Weaveforger for their care and hospitality.

-Dethie had her first taste of satyr's wine.... yeah... we'll leave that subject alone.

-Learning Spirit of the Dragon from Utgard was amazing. Had a lot of fun with the RP, not to mention yay dragon. Thanks doesn't begin to cover it.

-Amusing paperwork shift... apologies to anyone who may have come away with OOG bad feelings from the RP. Also, there's a lot of room for fun when you're a zombie being dissected.

"I search your boots."

"Some toes fall off. You could make a necklace as a trophy."

"Ew!"

Thanks to Gamblor and the petite pretty satyr (I don't know your name, sorry) for being my cue to slow the eff down and drink some water. When two people separately express concern, yeah, it's time to stop.

-The ultimately unnecessary lesson with Billiamm that had the silver linings of rules clarification, some fun RP and the exchange of information on a topic of mutual interest.

-I don't know whose little girl that was with the rainbow sword, picking fights with everyone before feast, but she was amazing. She ran at someone but was ignored and looked so dejected, so I approached and told her to come at me. Her little face lit up and she came at me like a beast To her parents, good job, keep it up.

-Time spent with Beilgor (who just gets cooler every time), Chet (don't worry, we're always good ), Midori (ever enchanting, and always with a refreshing perspective).

-New players Tim, Dan and Anne, who I hope to have the chance to get to know better at future events; you guys all rocked.

Looking forward to September

Oy, ye be sum naughty lil buggers, but a solid lot I say mates!

I have to say, being a main event boss is summed up as a lot of talking, doing as your told, and getting beaten up for a few hours...or grade school for some of us. I'm kidding folks, I would do it all again, just not today please!!! I can now honestly say that I bled for role play. Had I not gotten hurt, I'd of fought on, because that's fun, and I too enjoy a good scrap!!!

A few others got messed up this event, maybe Voodoo for realsies???
I hope everyone is okay, this was a blast to play and be a part of. I tried to role play with anyone who wanted it, and few I'm sure that wish they happened to not in hindsight...

Mike and Steph, you two are a hoot and a half, so glad you both made and got some fun role play with us. I especially hope you liked my NPCs signature.

Aaron and May, what can I say about that scene, that isn't too telling? It was over a 100° and there we all are, completely in the moment. I'm impressed with you both. I want everyone to know that if it wasn't so hot, that scene would have continued. Aaron sir, I owe you an item card! I have NOT forgotten, and will ask for one to be made for yourself, as the original got a little, well A LOT, wet.
May your rp as a White Sorceress AND Onyx Guard was all too clear, I can't say many could roleplay both at the same time, and you did flawlessly, I tip my odd hat at you! The new players that were there, you all were fantastic, I hope you had fun.

To all those NPCing WITH ME, it was so hot, at times we walked, talked as we baked in the sun, and fought until breathing was hard. You ALL deserve a bow, pat yourselves on the back, you earned it! I thank you, our community thanks you, the hard work you put in was worth it! You kept me going harder and harder for the PCs. Great job, and I would NPC with anyone of you again, not a single complaint from me folks.

Chris and John beating my undead arse into the ground!!! I love you guys, that fight was great and you more than earned the kill Chris! You fought and fought with literally one arm and one leg. GREAT COMBAT ROLEPLAY! Yeah John...THAT does work, and YES, we know it, seriously though, best use of that skill I've seen.

Tinney burning his Immaculate Defense was tight, way to rp my man.

For those with the inside scoop;
- "Diamond Daddy is a comin for ya!!!"
- Post AND Premortem moisture"
-"That sure isn't what I meant by an arm and a leg, but I'll take it, deary!"

"Swyft, who's got your tail?" Renee you a blast, and I had to scare you, way to get meaner in combat gurl! I'm proud of you. You can rp, but now you can ROLEPLAY and stomp some ass!!!

Josh Dykeman, y'all ready for this one...
Thanks for helping newer players and some veterans find their footing my friend, your still an ass, but I love ya brother!!!

I dropped Angel with her own attacks and I yelled, "I thunk I broke this one, some one should help her, if I do it isn't really wanted help."

Cody Queen won this event, which I love and hate him for as I can't go into detail. Your the luckiest man I know. For real though, if Conner slaps you...We all get it.

Eric Cripps, your PC about made me cry oog, folks this man is taking my NPCs sword to the Highlands to honor his family, because of a by sheer coincides role play scene on the road(the fact I was shaking down a PC just before hand has nothing to do with it!)

Gamblers totally missed out this weekend, and oddly enough we still turned that into a good time. I'm willing to try again. Thanks brother for helping PCs and being willing to help players.

Whoever gave me water, THANK YOU!!!(during editing, thanks.Labar)

My fellow captains and NPCs, I really hope you had as much fun as I did! I'm an obnoxious tool bag at times, but want everyone to have fun.

Maria, you were awesome, just awesome! Your dancing and chanting for the good of scenes and one on one scenes for individual players showed that you put your all into the role. I was taken back at times by just how awesome your work was. Your my NPC of the event!

The STs and Marshals, a lot happened and went wrong early this event, it wasn't anyone's fault, just a wicked twist of fates. Out of the chaos a few people really rose up to help. Matt Calo, you have more than earned a friend in myself this event, your dedicating focus and restless hours, sore body, and I'm sure overworked mind met all the challenges facing us, and I can't say enough about how well you performed!

Goose, if I didn't want to be someone else this event, your it! The stress, the everyone wanting you at all moments, the questions, the work, I don't know how you managed to pull it off, but holy cow did YOU!!!

This weekend was a blast, I loved the story, the characters, voodoo needs to be a thing, it just feels right in this setting to me. Well written, we all did as much as we could to do it proud. Great work team.

Chris Zipeto, your being polite owned that whole scene. That time I walked up on you with a group of players you were helping, and you saying that y'all were oog, I am sorry to walk up. I had no idea, but you never messed with the setting or the immersion of others. I took some notes from that, you helped me learn from it.

Ben, that was some great advice, to the rest of you, be scared! (Also, I'd love to play that goblin again.)

Steve Oros scares me...that's it, I don't really know what else to say here, that man scares me.

Luis, the work you do in the kitchen is never ending and never an easy task. You worked over a hot oven, in hot weather, without complaint, for everyone else. YOU still took the time as tired as you were, to roleplay with new players. Your presence at this game, is always wanted, and I love hearing the stories told of your scenes. I got a lot of love for you my friend. I don't know if I could have done that, after all you did, way to keep stepping up your game as veteran player!

Chris Lotano, I don't know how or where you get your energy and drive, but I am sure glad you have it. You do so much more than some see for this game, and I'm grateful for yourself and your efforts. Thanks man, you really know how to make a person cheer up and put their best foot forward.

My closing highlights are from Main Mod: Now, I need y'all to know, I wasn't trying to kill anyone this event, I'm sure I could have, but I just wanted to mess with folks and take your stuff, as a pirate should. I DIDN'T mean for anyone to take a tag, but some great RP did spawn from it! The order to hold our water balloons, and fire them, with,"LOOOSE!!!" Was a cool effect and I loved the looks of fear as players knew it was gunna be one of those moments...(My bad for you falling off the ship, but I thought SOMEONE would find you, if I could of made it, I'd have used a very stolen healing salve on you myself, but alas, folks wanted to kill me. I don't know who you are but, I hope SOMEONE found and healed you up.)
I literally started tossing SHARKS at PCs to stop them from killing a player. (I'm so sorry for that mess, but that has to be the coolest looking death ever, right? I did at least TRY to help you.)
Now, Connor as a shark refusing to not stop eating Peaches legs, was perfect shot grappling hooked and pulled onto the ship WITH the shark!!! I don't know if ANY of that scene was okay by the rules, but it sure was great rp to witness and hard not to laugh as I fought.

Thus causing what WILL be called a," Diresharknado", which is way better than a regular one, not just for copyright reasons, but because it is fun and it's dire(okay I'm sorry, blame Jeff Balla everyone.) I scalped folks, I took limbs, I bullied folks to hand over their gold and loot, it was a blast, and I hope you all loved it, because I sure did, Arrrgust round 2, was great. Hopefully next year we will be back with new and improved Diresharknado attacks, freaky epic voodoo, and even more pirate mayhem!!!

That's it, PLEASE do your event recaps everyone!!! Can we please work on being nicer to feast servers? I hope to see you all at the Family Fest Event, and the next monthly event is bought to you by none other than Matt Magnus, I can't wait to do it all again folks!

Sorry, I double pasted!!!

WOOO! What a weekend!

Now I know I thrive in hot weather and all but DAMN

but anywhoooo

FRIDAY NIGHT PIRATE ATTACK! or as valanye will remember it, the night of unexpected weddings


Whats a good way to hurt Val's pride yet simultaneously motivate her to better herself and re-hone her instincts to be what they once were? Easy! Just rob her and leave her passed out in the woods! Shout out to Lord Tartaros , Gamblor and a lady with them who i unfortunately did not recognize for bringing me back to the inn ! *sigh* how embarrassing


Though I must say the Winged Victory as always are wonderful people who respond with the best RP to Valanye's (mostly) silly problems. I always enjoy my interactions with all of you!

"corpse tree times with the adventurer's guild on saturday! Shoutout to the DeFranzas for a great encounter and to zipeto and marcella for the amazingly cool npc's. WHAT POISON IDK WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. Big thanks to Peaches for having Val's back and pretending it was his. Hooray for helping with surgery!

"pssst. I have a writ." *Val hands it over slyly* "OH LOOK WHAT I FOUND, LOOKS LIKE I HAVE EXTRA AFTER ALL! "

When the angry driad appeared sunday morning demanding answers about her slain friend, Valanye remembered why she stopped joining in on these excursions. And that being responsible for the mistakes of others is anything but fun. But she also has endless patience for those of nature and was equally upset about this senseless death so she refused to leave when her help was needed.

Thanks Mami May for feeding this forrest waif upon sight consistently and for being the best courtroom gossip buddy a woodland creature can ask for

Which leads me to the amazing court cases ! Shout outs to Ben and Cassie for working all that shit out and whoever else was involved because it was SO good. sidenote: the tanwyns continue to give Valanye multiple heart attacks, keep doing you and never change

water balloon mod = FANTASTIC. The atmosphere was so immersive and the npc's killed it! Shout out to all marshals responsible for that amazing climax to pirate month!

Thanks also to Connor for being equally into doing the roleplay for a Woodland Stride lesson even if i could have just written it down. It was amazing and you got great people to help out!

Congrats to Rook for the well deserved squireship!

Also, spooky healer is the best and must be recognized as such



all around great event!

First off, this summer is fired.

Friday:
I got to be Jenanne Tonix again, one of the sassy pirates of Captain Charlotte's crew-- a most awesome crew I must admit! Pirate roll call and the drag queen names were amazing! Thanks to everyone who interacted with us and dealt with our nonsense. A special shout out to Ashe/Yaya and Josh Leib's satyr bard for helping us get people singing. They were so into it! We got at least half of the inn singing loudly along with us about just what to do with a drunken sailor.


Also thanks to Nick's conquistador, Anerian and Chet for dealing with our sudden marriage. The hesitancy of Anerian to be wedded to a heathen pirate was hilarious and in direct contrast to how eager Chet was about it! You are too cute, Mr. Balla!


Let's talk about how surprised everyone was that Capn' Charlotte actually had a physical representation of her ship! And the very weird wedding of Becky's Mad Hand Mercy and Calvin (?). Loved the dip and kiss after they were officiated!

With these marriages, now. They sure do seem to be popular these days........................

Came back in later that night as Swyft and holy shenanigans, Batman. Here I was, minding my own business, having a pleasant chat with Jade and Vaux in Alissandria and here comes the voodoo crew to ruin our night. Poof, they were both gone right quick when like ten of 'em converged onto the platform. After Matt's pirate punched me square in the gut with my own Rend Limb and Cripple, I tried to peace out. Climbed a tree. ...And so did Matt. Welp.

So thirty seconds later, there I was, laid out on one of the picnic tables and quickbound, getting all my limbs broken, my ears cut off, my tail cut off and my stuff taken while they laughed about it and said awful things. Nice, guys! lol! At least they didn't kill me. Mistress Jade saved me, bless her dear heart.

Jade and I attempted to investigate the outside after about five minutes or so. Nope. Nope. Nope. When you see Jade hustle, you know it's bad. So we lived in the statehouse for a little while that night!

There was general panic as everyone ever began to drop immediately into critical condition after tangoing with those dastardly pirates. I blasted through my healing points so quickly that I began to reconsider my life choices. Thank goodness for Therion; he just had a mound of bodies around him by like 2:30am.

Also decided that Evrat is banned from being Mind Controlled ever again.

Thank you, Nigel, for the resuscitation and the scene that accompanied it! Mostly you scare me, Zipeto, but you're one hell of a narrator.

What a scare when we thought we'd lost Wolfgaar in Ostcliff! Everyone was in a panic. Yaya and I were legitimately treed for a while. Sin was losing her mind with worry. There was the Peaches posi-barrior huddle because no one could figure out what to do. I actually had to start empathy healing. It's been a looooong time...

The madness seemed to go on forever. I remember stumbling along the road as the sun was actually beginning to rise to go to bed, absolutely wasted on most things off my card and tired AF and then I see like ten of them surrounding Pendarvin.

Let me tell you how much I couldn't even.

I did the Homer Simpson into the bush line and sneaked along the opposite path in desperation for sleep! (Sorry Pendarvin, but you have an Edwin and a Hurgar and all sorts of protections! And I... I had an empty card. )

Most of Saturday during the day was staying stationary in spots, which is something I'm not terribly used to. As it turns out, when it's one million degrees farenheit, one feels less inclined to move. Thus I spent time in good conversation with Jed, Indigo, Hussan, "Captain Ten-Names," Zeltrich and Amizar respectively throughout the day. Most of that time was spent in or near the lake because dat breeze tho.

Speaking of the lake, oh my god. That scene!

So there I was minding my own business, (yeah, one of these, again!) about to cool off in the lake because I was sure I would die if I didn't and just as soon as I undo my belt, I hear Cap'n Juliet yell "Oh look it's the kitty, maybe we should get another tail!" Turns out it's half her crew coming down to the waterfront from the far side of the lake path. Soooo I turned right back around, struggling to re-buckle my belt, and ran back up the path because, Nope. Then who should I see but Forest's pirate, Gregor MacGyver who had friggin' scalped me the night before, grinning like a madman. That was an even bigger Nope. So it created this problem of being surrounded by Nope with the only option seeming to be to jump into the lake, weapons, pouches, shoes and all...

I'm sure it was a moment of comedy as I scrambled back and forth between them before finally deciding in sheer desperation to take off along the edge of the shore where the boats are, onto the little dock by the shed.
He still pursued, talking smack the whole time of course. I looked over the edge of the dock into the water, back to Gregor and then up the hill that lead toward the Mage's Guild. There was juuuust enough land to justify dropping down from the dock. Gregor actually stepping onto the dock provided all the motivation necessary.
Down I went, and proceeded to book it up the hill, through the brambles like a bat outta' hell. I kept looking behind me, terrified that he was actually going to follow. Thank goodness he didn't! Sanctuary was granted after frantic knocking on the door of the Mage's Guild.
Damn you pirates were awful, lol!

P.S. True Distant healing Wylla out of the window was fun!

The trial was nerve wracking. Swyft wasn't exactly ready to publically share her issue about Andorra, but there it was, laid flat. So there's that...

Indigo was so mad he couldn't even sit down. "They're all getting a slap on the wrist, but I almost get beheaded for grunting!" lol

I used my Berserker Rage for the first and last time. And on Gregor MacGyver, lol. He had the audacity to walk around the inn like it was totally okay he cut off my ears and tail and sword and like, gave them to people. He didn't even get MONEY for them. Really, Forest?
Kudos to you, dude. You helped make Swyft just a little bit more crazy. Thanks for being a good sport about me beating the crap out of you--- except not--- Because it was all minimal...
Anyway... good job, lol. You leapt into that role with vim and vigor! I'm sure you made a big impression on more folks than just me! You play an excellent son of a b****.

The epic moment in the stormy downpour with Karkat and Bob.
(Literally being blinded by the rain during this!)

Visiting with Galamachis, again after being confused and concerned that no one was talking to Him and folks were leaving out of fear--- despite the pouring rain! Tsk, tsk. Conversations and coffee followed. It was excellent watching Nigel talk scientifics with him. He was just so... fluttery. And hilarity ensued when Sir Zelritch tried really hard to have a conversation with him but had to leave out of nervousness. LOL
Also can't forget Rupert's comments to him about the sanctity of marriage while Swyft head-desked... Oh what a can of worms.

The "Almost" Shenanigans that sort of but didn't really go down....? Granted temporary reprieve due to technical difficulties!

P.S. Goose, you were amazing. You were done up and dressed to the nines with the PERFECT accent. I'm sad to say I didn't get to see the voodoo queen IG but she looked fabulous!


Despite the unbearable heat and humidity, so many people made the event fun for me, even if we couldn't move around all that much. I'm blessed to be part of such a wonderful community! See you in September!

So, even though I've been playing Nalick for three years, I feel like I've only played him competently on a few occasions. Since I started playing Chet though, I noticed a marked improvement in my RP as Nalick.

Speaking of, I appreciate everyone who approached me OOG to make sure I was okay with angry RP. Don't worry, Jeff still loves ya!

Mother Nature is definitely Player of the Month for absolutely perfect atmosphere at main mod. Also I missed the opening announcements, but I heard the phrase "Who's tired of saving the world?" was among them. Hearing that made me smile.

The pirates were great and even brought out a bit of feminism!? from Chet when he saw Black-Eyed Jenny and started grilling other members of the crew for details.
"Listen, I do have some standards!"

Renee, that was so much fun. Of course, Chet wouldn't have minded a bit more.

Violating the prime directive of Travance by walking alone at night and bumping into Jonas Kane, led to one of my favorite scenes ever. They chatted and walked to the Alisandria statehouse, where poor Jade and Kifu probably didn't expect a loud-mouthed schmuck from the Dread Hills to show up.

The looks on everyone's faces and the moment when Goose made me put my fist on my head and laugh into the table... it made my event.

Chet trying to convince Pascal that her penmanship was nowhere near as horrendous as she thought it was by having her dictating sentences for him to read and seeing how a few people reacted to reading what he wrote. The arguments that Chet got into with Pascal over pretty much everything. Thanks for being a good sport!

Merideth's bride-to-be NPC. Wow. I thought it might go beyond verbal sparring, but when Chet saw how she treated Midori, there was no backing down.

Making Midori smile.

Waiting for the trials to begin and watching as half the town fanned themselves. Chet went to the head table a few times to argue on the town's behalf, saying how we would all turn into Nyads before long.

The trials were a thing of beauty and when Damien told me afterward about the hours of work that went into organizing them, it was easy to believe.

Also this:
"Will Cade Tanwyn come forward?"
"CHIICKEEEEEEEN!--and potatoes."

Twelve hours of the Doom of Damocles hanging over Chet while his private meeting was rescheduled a few times and ended up not happening. Yet.

Yes, Chet heard someone musing aloud about riding the dire cow, took it as a challenge rather than a joke, and ran outside to screams of, "WAIT, STOP!"

I walk up to the NPC, put my hand on their shoulder, and call "Climb." The rest is history.

Chet and Kreylin running after screams and at one point splitting up to cover more ground; hearing Imanuel's recounting afterward about how scary it was.

Nalick and Cain searching through the pouring rain for Pascal. Nalick being fairly certain that they were friends at that point.

Seeing Oren Sunday morning and blushing.

"Nalick... are you okay? Do I need to fight you right now?"

Nalick drunkenly explaining friendship to Loon and the Winged Victory crew.

Saturday, a quarter past five, walking into Logistics with my brain sunny side up. Someone says, "Hey Jeff, how are you?"
"I'm sweat and hotty."
Instantly start hysterically laughing and crying.
Shane offers me the role of hook for the pirate archer mod, but all I can picture is me hobbling toward the Inn, arrow in my side, cackling maniacally.
Reece, thank you for tagging in.
Alex, it was nice finally interacting with you OOG. Interesting circumstances to be sure!

So many great moments.
