Week in the Life (WiTL) 2016 Highlights!

By far my favorite event! (even though it is only my second moon)

For this event I took extra NPC shifts; they proved to be quite a treat. Three notable experiences consisted of New players mods, The Grey Daisy Trading Co., and Eteve Srwin's Annual big game hunt. The latter two seemed very enjoyable to those who were involved with it. This was especially true for the grey daisy where we sold a sharp cheese ax , terracotta underpants, lead shoes, and our never worn halfling shoes, etc. Some the best experiences I have had stem from the wide variety of NPC adventures.

As for Gras, he has had quite the eventful weekend.

-Came in second during the grand melee at Alisandria
-Caught the eye of those in the Barony and asked to be a member of the onyx guard
-See KR from a whole new perspective with Sir Pluvious
-most importantly! getting to know more people in and out game along with becoming more and more intertwined in the story and its characters


Already excited for the next event

Again, my favorite event so far. Like, just amazing. Thank you to James, Steve, and everyone involved.

Somehow I was nonstop busy but also didn't do a whole lot. I don't know how.

Friday night was dominated by a crazy 4 hour mod, but SO WORTH IT. Even with a bit of a misunderstanding it ended up being probably my favorite mod ever. 10/10, would do again (please do again!!) thank you to everyone who ran it. Thank you for making it less about what level you were and what was on your card and more about how good of a problem solver or creative thinker you were. It was nice actually being useful on a high level mod when you're the new person in the group. To the people in my group- I LOVE YOU ALL. Seriously, best team ever, 15/10, would work together again

Staying up all night giving lessons to argyle, making some super good business deals and making enough gold to finally afford my business. Sorry to the bank, I came and made so many deposits they ran out of room on my card

And then I really don't remember a lot of what happened between making breakfast and waking up to go be Fiona. Apparently I forgot to drink any water or eat much food (or sleep) for two days. Whoops. Don't be me, I'm a bad example. I kinda remember starting to set feast, I remember Argyle yelling at me to go take a nap at like 6:30. I remember falling asleep on the floor of drega'room... And next thing I know Karen is handing me coffee and Damian is handing me water and somehow I'm in bed and it's like 8:30....

Surprise! You're gonna be involved in a ritual! Oh, you've never even seen what a KR ritual looks like, especially as someone who doesn't use the weave for magic? Whoops, make it up.


Every time I play Fiona it is the highlight of my event. I'm going to be so sad when this plot is resolved because being able to be so involved with players and plot is consistently my favorite. Being able to stay out for an extra 3 hours to talk to everyone who had questions or wanted to meet her made my weekend, and I am so impressed with the role play that everyone I interacted with provided. I wish I'd had more than 4 RP points because I tracked down people the next day to give them those 4, but j really could have done with like... 10 or 12 to really give everyone what they deserved.




My lesson of the weekend- drink water drink water drink water.

As usual, in no particular order:

-Learned my first set of Druid spells, two of them from Jack Thorn (who, OOG, seriously needs to do voiceover work), one from mo chroí, Tharivol (but did you have to cut yourself to do it, for shite sake?!), and one from Keavy, with an assist from a disease-riddled Caelvan (because what better way to learn Purify Food and Drink?).

-Various trips to the Stonebars' Stone-Bar Bar, including whiskey from the First Age and some scorpion wine... A foyne night i'twere.

-Teasing Kyras that his hat smelled like dead pirate (OOG, best hat ever).

-Kaladonia nosh... Thanks to Lady Kleidin for the introduction to lemon thyme in a burger, because I never would have tried that on my own.

-Scrapping with Chet outside the Inn.

-Adventures with chipmunks in the tent every morning.

-A gift from Midori that may not have been a big deal to her, but was very touching for Dethie (and, while doing paperwork with her, learning about Space Unicorn, which I didn't realize was missing from my life until then).

-Potato farmers with dire chickens.

-HOLY CRAP ZI CAME TO GAME.

ETA:

-How could I forget, Lord Wellington Wellington Wellington of House Wellington, or as I liked to call him, Beefy.

-Toasting marshmallows, the hiveminded evolution of "mallomallomallo," and various methods of siege marshmallows.

I may add more as things come to me, but yeah, a great time overall

Where do I even start with this?

Friday:
To everyone who put together that intense 4+ hour long wee hour of the morning mod I would like to send a tremendous THANK YOU! It was an absolute blast and the puzzles were fantastic! I really enjoyed working together with my teammates and I may be biased (OK, very biased) but I really think we were the very best team and our abilities rounded each other out nicely. Hats off to you. You know you you are. What do you do with a drunken sailor? Muahahaha.

Saturday:
SOOOOOooooo, I knew Ketryn joining the Guard would ruffle some feathers but I was not exactly expecting open assassination attempts during broad daylight in front of Lords and Ladies, visiting dignitaries, the Knight Captain, and most of the rest of the Guard! Props to Jeff for pushing his character's RP to 11 and just...going for it full out, what with the screaming and the threats and pistol brandishing and all. There's nothing quite like having the Knight Captain and a Sergeant of the Guard take bullets for a former serial killer who is now working for them. A+ weird political fallout that ended up sucking in way more parties than I even imagined. Oh my is this game complicated, paradoxical and fun!

Lots of fun hanging out with Allyce and helping Arradir and Maer on investigations. I had a total blast with all of that

And then the acquisition of a VERY unusual pen pal. I look forward to exploring wherever that goes as well.

Also, I wanted to call out the fun interactions I had with Ben's Bob character after Ketryn was assigned as his mentee on the Guard. Actually being pushed in the RP is very fun and I look forward to exploring it further.

Also, the weird faceoff with Wormwood. Spooky spooky. Damn dude, you are one patient mf willing to go the extra mile for that RP. Nothing quite like getting the feeling you are being followed, trying to casually shake the tail, waiting a long time, thinking the coast is clear, and then opening a door to see them staring right at you.

After such an eventful day I took a nap during main mod only to wake to a sneaky sneak Mage's Guild cabin thief. After I was ratcheting Ketryn's Paranoia level up to 100 all day that certain cabin raider is very lucky circumstances prevented their accidental murder. You came so close to being stabbed. So, so close.

Also, Saturday Night Sewer Escapade was amazing. A+ for full on terror. At one point nearly everyone was down and I was just standing there, hidden, thinking "welp..."

There were also a number of very fun interactions with Nesterin, Ludwig, Lake, Rook, Oren, Nalick, Cyndra, Dennis and so many others +++

It was a blast.

This community is made of the greatest group of people anyone could ever want in their life.

Actually...Could someone else possibly write my highlights..I forgot pretty much everything except for spending a shit ton of time with Sarah Brand, and bleating every time Kayla said "Goaty".

Indeed...

You do NOT want Brazen Dad to be annoyed at you... especially when he stressed the drink water part at lay-on.
:cool:
