Feb 28 favorite moments

The NPCs on Friday night in general should not feel bad. Most where new, and in some cases, accidents just happen. Also it certainly does go both ways and happen on both sides. Everyone in the future remember two things, Like Kyra pointed out, the job of the NPCs isnt to win, its to entertain the PCs. Secondly, everyone just make it a personal goal to do better at keeping track of your hits. We as monster marshals will do more to make sure NPCs are better written, and are better briefed on how to play their roles.  I highly doubt anyone was intentionally cheating, but perhaps some where getting carried away. Situations like that can be avoided, by simply calling a hold, and ask to see the NPC, or PC card in question and resolve the situation right then and there instead of letting it go on.

Id like that to be the final thing about this issue that is said here, and would appreciate it if from this point on the "Highlights" thread remained just that. We love to hear what you didn't like at an event, so we can try hard to improve and make sure those things don't happen again, but we have a totally different place for that. Fill out event recaps for your comments such as that, it is the proper outlet, and I promise you we do read them, and discuss them on the officer boards, every month.

Thanks

Ok, now that things have calmed down, smooth-over, and all my post-larp activites (laundry and such) have been settled... let's make some folks feel good.

Lowlights:
1. Mud
2. Cold
3. My poor nightsight causing me to nearly attack my fellow townsfolk

Highlights:
1. Seeing all the friendly faces when I finally arrived.
2. Getting a bed despite the Inn filling up very quickly and I arrived late.
3. The epic battles on Main Mod.
4. The 1 liners that were zinging all across the weekend
4a. Townsmember investigating a wagon: "What do I see inside?  Supplies?  Cargo?"
Chris K's NPC Bandit: "Yup, and a body."
5. Dinner Rolls.
5a. Kyra refusing to sell me her dinner roll for 2 gold...    LOL!
6. Hearing Sorel is now eligible for Witch Hunter status after jumping up in his boxers and fighting the elemental NPC's.

I'm sure there are more, but I'm at work and have to get back to a meeting.

A lot of my favorites have already been covered, in a decent amount of depth by other people.  So, I'll only repeat those that I feel my perspective adds something to the story.  However, I've got to start with a couple of lowlights.

Friday, all day, being exceedingly sick with stomach issues that have plagued me since I was a wee lad, and people being understanding when I'd suddenly throw a white headband on, and run into the woods, only to stumble back into the inn slightly green around the gills.

Blowing out my knee on main mod simply from trying to get up... And Kwildar practically throwing his armor off later 'cause my back decided that it had had enough.

On to the favorites.

Kwildar holding back his anger after he and Kathara were savagely attacked friday night.  Walking up to Quin, and rather calmly informing her that the goblin army had broken all words of honor in his eyes.

Kwildar's emotional state was ... well, it was a train wreck of bipolar proportions.  Hearing for the first time that Kathara loves him, followed by being forced to make The Choice, followed by soooo many people dying, and Kathara's return.  Trying not to cry into Galen's chest cavity as he assisted Doctor West in sewing him back together.

Rosa's corpse, laid out in the monestary... Internal organs in nice neat lines.  Dr. West, Quin and Kwildar all working on her... And sudden knocks on the door.  Two peasants come in, wanting to get married, and the momentary shock on their faces as Rosa's state registered in their minds just before Kwildar pushed them out the door.

Performing said marriage, with Cinder witnessing.

So many people having to hold Kwildar back from going out to try save the dead, and probably end up dying himself.

Gambesons! Yay!

.... "It's a good secret!"   Heck, everything we did as Sunday Morning NPCs was so much fun for me.

It's been a while

Fisrt off, getting into the Inn Friday and seeing Nigel and Vaden made my whole weekend. Being told don't NPC Friday night meant paladin challanges and there were, with Wally-BANE!!!

Long talks with people who I hope took my advice to heart

Keeping an eye on the town until dawn with Cinder

Having a wake up of James waving his sausage in my face

My brigands were outstanding and all of them RP'd a great scene even when no other PC's were present.

Getting our collective ass kicked by the bad guys in Main Mod. It wasn't a highlight but it set in motion some other things.

Having a great IG reason to leave Saturday night

Standing in a circle with Vaden, Kimmel and Tom, and the interesting RP that came about.

Actually learning something very low level and enjoying it quite a bit

Line of the event
Wally: What does that green headband mean?
Me: It means I'm cold!

Nigel Storm Bringer what what what!

I had a Good time, did not enjoy the weather in the least bit, I knew I should have waited to the next event.

I did enjoy showing up late for feast however, which is good cause I love salad.

I, as Steve enjoyed Sonya and Troupe's brain cell cancer causing conversation but as Shador I was not amused, don't think I was actually pissed off.

It was good to see wally and his vastly superior beard.

Kyle Steele saved my life. Chris Kane warms my soul and...other parts every time I see him.

Thanks for the buff's stacey and when you looked at me for some in return I responded with "I can't change your fate" and the cursing that followed.

Osred and I combining forces, is like when the Voltron guys figured out the last lion was over the gate out front.

Its Murdering time...or just writing a really good Mystery Horror Book Time!...from a third party view.

Standing in a circle with Vaden, Kimmel and Tom, and the interesting RP that came about.

Man, I really say some silly stuff when I'm tired and cold. Speaking of huddling together for warmth...

Anyway, It was a pretty fun event all in all.
Lots of good RP all around.
And learning something really important!

My favorite quote of the night:

Nigel: Quin, someone stole the goblin generals' armor, what're we going to do? We're totally screwed.
Me: Let's cry about it.
Nigel: And eat some bagels.
Me: Ok!
Both: WAAAHHHH

But the muuuud definitely sucked.
