Arrrrrrgust 2016 Highlights

Not so much a highlight reel, but thank yous.

Rachael, you consistently help Lorelai find out things about herself, and are one of the reasons I continue to have fun with her when sometimes she doesn't have as much direction. Especially this event, you made me feel useful and glad I was there.

Same to Blue Kestrel, who made me OOG feel really good about RP and IG made Lorelai realize what some of the changes need to be in the Academy, due to a brief conversation. Thank you.

Forest, I am sad as heck I didn't get to fight your Voodoo self more. I love fighting you, bro.

Tinney - thank you for the fantastic RP! And the OOG hug afterward. I can't tell you how much that scene helped me fall into game after a long, crud week. Funny that the thing that Duncan was admonishing Lor about was the thing that helped me act like her, though.

A big thank you to Peaches as well, for consistently treating Lorelai like a person and giving her a chance to be herself again.

And of course, Jack Thorn and Benion. You guys - seriously. If not for our adventures Saturday I think my event would have been a lot more Meh. We all fall in so easily together with our shared skills and various personality quirks. I look forward to many more intel-gathering missions with you both.

Thank you to Garrett and the team of storytellers for a cool plot and WOW the main mod setup. Lovely work (and thank heavens it wasn't Totem Pole).

See you all soon!

Been away for a few months and it was great to be back, despite melting throughout the event.

Highlights in no real order:

Meeting a new towns member and inviting him to go for a walk. Wylla asks, "Do you carry a dagger?"
Seth, "No. Just my sword."
Wylla, "Good. I didn't want to risk you knocking me out while you're behind me."
Seth, "Same. That's why I'm walking behind you."

Heading to the beach and having to run to the mages guild when undead show up. Watching Kanas and Chet get attacked by one up the road. It downed Chet and kanas tried to hold it off before getting help. Upon seeing the undead stoop over Chets body, running outside with Yaya yelling, "Get away from him!" then having to hurry into a tree when it did indeed. Then getting shot out of the tree by pirates. (If they would have looked through my bag, they would have gotten one of the dolls!) Being healed by Swyft yelling out from a window, getting Yaya back up and running back to mages guild.

Swimming in the lake was so nice.

The trials were entertaining to watch. Nice interruption from Kardin.

James Demontefortes return and Wyllas conflicted emotions.

Keeping the doll on Wylla all day was surprisingly easy aside from the run in with pirates.

Being an undead for main mod was super fun. Had a blast chucking water balloons as the PCs. Fighting with Seth/Ben over the side of the ship was a lot of fun.

Late night talk with Eli was just what Wylla has needed.

Wylla reuniting with Nalick! The never ending hugs! Wylla telling Nalick about James returning and how Yaya came to get her. Nalick, "That's a pretty good impression of Yaya." Wylla, "Shhhh...I'm tired."

All the back rubs given and received.

Getting to camp earlier then expected and met Tim (If i forgot your name I'm sorry!) and took him on a tour of camp.


All in all it was a great event and i'm sure i'm forgetting stuff. See ya guys at next game!

You are very welcome!

The day Lorelai truly figures out what she wants to be and who she really is will be the day alot of problems that PC has melt away and be actually happy. I am sure of this.

Its funny how both the Vorlons and the Shadows work in concert here... Just saying. :cool: :cool:

Sorry I'm a bit late in this...I'm gonna start by agreeing with everyone else on OMG the weather!

So here are my hilights in no particular order...

All the time spent with Dr. Kroh talking about religion and philosphy

Midori's unique way or handling the execution of Stray Dave

Volker's reaction to Midori coming out of the tree to heal him and asking her to bless his ancestor's skull. It was a great moment!

NPCing as the worst pirates ever, and having one of us get killed (or rather, kill himself by trying to steal the wrong item, then getting reanimated as undead by Jedd (I think it was Jedd, but it was dark and hard to tell), and BOOKING it!!!

Atmosphere during Main Mod was AMAZING! Kudos to everyone who had anything to do with that, and the lightning and rain made it even more incredible!

To reiterate what Abby said...
Thalia: Travance is like a little family.
Midori: A big family!
Valanye: A big family that sometimes robs you in the woods.

Tanwyn's trial. "He is very flexible! He must be in order to put his foot in his mouth like that..."

Thank you to all who helped me with my OOG problems during the event. I appreciate having understanding and caring friends like you all.

~ Being a fly on the wall for the meeting and watching the delivery. Jade's reaction to who Merrikh is. "He's not..." "yes he is" the face she made was priceless. Also priceless is when you aren't there and they need someone with your talents and your master teacher is the only one going "Where is Demeanor???"

~ The poor schmucks who kidnapped D to torture information out of her. I still can't stop laughing about this. You guys soooooo got the wrong person. If the "rescue" didn't show for another 5 minutes, I think you all would have been killing one another. The feeling of utter defeat from the NPCs when D started showing them how to torture herself better... A+ you guys were a hoot. "Make her shut up, gag her! cut her tongue out!" "Don't get me wrong, tongue be delicious but, don't ye need D t'be speakin' t' tell ye information?" , "Damniiiiiiit!"

~ Team rescue attacking D after killing the crew that took her and Merrikh captive. You guys are so sweet. "You are welcome D", "Fuck you, you are welcome! D tell'em nothin!"

~ The amount of times people said "that's not nice" to D to which I responded "duh... this in the name, I'm mean. D - mean - er - than - you."

~ Feeding the cow beef. It was happy. Cownibalism? Look just feed it, it's hungry. Has no one heard of the carrot on a stick concept here?

~ Poker? Woot. Blackbird is always a hoot.
~ Nesterin = No. "but" , "NO". ... "no."

~ So I guess when you want to protect the one person you give a shit about, they get pissy. This is what D gets for having an ounce of decency in her. Rip into a shitload of traps then dbags who were hitting quite solidly with Eric and Peaches. We survived. Only to realize the target was being dealt with and information was needed. INFORMATION IS D's BUSINESS!!! except a chorus of "NO!" ... "oh?"

~ well, blades were itching, she was angry, she wouldn't be denied, so something was bound to happen, disguise, find partner in awesome and proceed to utter awesome. You know you

~ Screams at ass o'clock. Off course people are dying... don't get out of bed. I can't not care. Good thing too because ass load of undead and people dropping left and right. Winged victory crew getting slaughtered. Evrat, Bob and many others saved from peril. Best reaction that warmed Angeliana's heart came from Stahling (sp?) I walk into the tent where Cade is, the panicking stops. "Is that Angeliana..." Also Cade's veil focus walk. Dude... some funny moments there.

~ Oh ya, there was a trial in there, where a door was opened so Angeliana could walk through which she wouldn't have opened on her own otherwise. I mean, way to hang yourself on that one. Sorry not sorry. Perhaps think on the dirt folks have on you before accusing them of nothing next time. Everyone has a limit. When she isn't protecting anyone or sacrificing herself for someone else, she isn't a martyr for nothing, she will defend herself. Oh hey Light church... thank you for the boot in the ass, it's a nice view up here from where you hung me out to dry. Repercussions are abound. To the newer folk who touched my heart afterwards with what you did, you know who you are... Gods I'm thankful and seriously humbled to hear at least someone cares about who she is and what she does for the town.

~ Feeling a soul get obliterated and the chat with the Baron afterwards. Then sitting by him at feast and retiring for the night. But not before seeing the voodoo queen in the small council meeting, and having a very deep / interesting conversation with Bob. Angeliana just thanked an Aguaran didn't she... she did. But he said what he said didn't he, he did. Wow Ben wow.

~ The musical debates? Kardin wut? I couldn't breathe at some point. Manor peeps

~ D walks up to Mister Tartar. Uuh so my sis is in your land. "You work at my docks and on my ships, you are in my land too." D was pretty touched by that. Ain't admitting that tho. Felt good to be a part of a group and also being able to stay by Rook and Aleister.

~ That main mod, all the pirate friends Jenny and Knobbs reunited with D start of battle like nothing was going on around them while balloons were flying, handing them balloons going, lets shoot them fuckers back! Then the pirates rope cross in unison as we yelled. You guys are such fun omg.

~ Raging over at the ghost ship. I am not sure how many undead I cut down or how many people were calling D back to the ally ship until I got Gusted back by Hurgar jumping in to get her out realizing she won't leave on her own. But man, that was so exhilarating. Now I understand all you berserkers and have new respect for you. The physical drain was real but so was the adrenaline. All until Hurgar's gust threw me into a few PCs who shoulder checked D, so she cut them down before moving onto the next undead on the ally ship. Apparently Hurgar thought she was undead herself. Never seen an angry pirate?

~ "Screw this I'm healing her... she is bound and exhausted", heals D. Escape restaints, waylay, hide in shadows. "God damn it." Hurgar storms up angrily... "WHAT DID YOU DO" Tracking Demeanor! Comes out of the shadows "I'm here you dickbag... Never seen an angry pirate? Take a good look. Next time ye wanna slice me up ye need me permission. Now, ye owe me 50 gold." Andy, you are a good sport man, and I'm not gonna stop asking you for gold, like ever.

~ Blackbird pirate shenanigans are the best. You guys rule.

~ Bean Bunker Deposit... Yup. Galmachis... That is all.

I'm sure I'm forgetting shit even though that was a long post, thank you to everyone who makes this game fun and looks out for one another constantly. Kr family keep on being awesome and see you soon!

First time posting some highlights. This is probably my favorite event to date since starting the game a year ago.

• Partying hard with Tempest's crew. Magpie's nervousness and insecurities showing when one of the Mak'het appeared.
• The sheer panic to waking up with a wraith in the tent. Everyone's reactions to dead Albatross.
• Calven Tawnyn approaching Magpie Saturday afternoon. Having a bit of a talk and getting to know small things about each other. Only to have things tense up again on Sunday morning between the two.
• Being told that Calven and Magpie talking was 100% visible from the inside of the inn and that Jackdaw and Starling kept an eye on them because parenting.
• Shout out to that weather at Main Mod.
• Carrying the Winged Victory Flag and having the first volley of grenades hit it.
• Sneaky sneaks in the pouring rain for a rogue mod. Everyone I was with were great and everything went phenomenally well.
• The talks between Jackdaw and Magpie were the best bit of roleplay I've had in awhile. It's great to see how their relationship is growing--with trust and all that.
• Seeing new players get along amazingly well made my heart swell. Vencing and Krisna. Secretly hoping they turn into crew members.
• Finding the Lark doll at camp with actual Lark no where to be found.
• Finally, having a meeting with the rest of the Winged Victory after finding evidence that Lark legitimately is missing. Loon reacting amazingly to it.

Thanks so much to the entire Winged Victory players, I could not have asked for better people to hang with in game. Lark will be missed hardcore. Thanks to Jared for providing drama that does not involve the Winged Victory. Lastly thanks to everyone involved in making that main mod look fantastic!
