February 2017 Highlights

I'd love to post some, but I can't quite remember what I did!

Blood Magic!!!

I want to start with my biggest highlight, and I have so many. The caliber of roleplay from the entire community was stellar. I was impressed by you all. Well done, the open ended role play options left to the players was a great idea, I hope the STs enjoyed watching as much as I did playing with it, as I went all in!

Were-Spiders, or arachnothopy as some are calling this type, all need to die. FOREST hates spiders, but these damn things...Argyle wants them extinct, exterminated, purged, removed from ALL timelines, we are talking death on a whole new level. I didn't see that coming, next time, I won't let my guard down.

While we slipped up, I will own it. I learned a great deal about the newer hunters, and I think we have a plan to grow. I can't wait to see where we all go from here. The looks on players faces as that mod went further and further down the SPIDER hole. I love how it was put together, the delivery was flawless. It actually made me want to be a better role player, it showed me flaws I didn't know that I had, but it also motivated me to grow from them. The PCs and NPCs on that mod, thank you. You all made it worth it, I had the challenge of a life time, but the story of one too. I hope everyone loved it, I know I did.

Chris Zipeto, clocking me in the face...it IS a highlight. I'm working on my OOG issues, I am proud of myself, and that is priceless. Plus Chris can say he smacked my face as I stepped into(totes should have blocked) with his long, hard, latex shaft, and NO ONE can take that from you, no one. Great job, loved the combat Role Play. I really wanted the new witch hunters to experience some of the great things and moments of the class that I've had for themselves. Watching that mod, fighting, and humbly admit losing, sparked some serious shit in me.

Drew Benton, thanks brother, you're always there when I fall, that means more than you know to me.

Corvius can finally say the he knows Argyle is proud of him.

Wulfgar and Argyle have had some great victories and heartbreaking losses, but they are brothers in arms.

Homunculus stuff. Matt your work is inspiring as always.

Having the BEST Role Play reason to not be at Main Mod, to help in the kitchen. Renee Grace is a Saint people, a Saint. To the new witch hunters, that must have been a pain, but know that I would do anything for y'all. You all are one of the major reasons I stay out there ALL night, you make it worth it 1,000 Times over. Watching you all grow, and continue to has been one of the most rewarding things I have done with my life. THANK YOU

Trent buff bombing main mod, that was so cool.

Judge and Padma, thanks for tolerating me.

Garret Fuller not knowing how happy he made Argyle, yup I worded that right.

Luis and all the guidance in and out of game, I'm thick headed, but I'll get there.

Wili is hilarious, I died laughing you're a nut Kelley, but a damn entertaining one.

Robert and Hailey, I owe you both, and know that I will make it up to you. That was a mess, but your understanding was greatly appreciated.

Lord Rudolph, getting me to not only spend gold, but even tip him. The smile on Reyna and Hannah's face was worth 10 times that much. Best 120 gold Argyle has spent.

Actual role play with Lois Maxwell, I want more.

Reginald is Argyles newest bestie.

I love the Tanwyns. IG, OOG, both, it's true.

Torq is still a prick. The archery lessons with Dorwick, Zel, and the others was a blast.

Labar, not failing to deliver on what his character is. I can't wait to see where that goes.

The new bar tenders are great.

The elemental mosh pit!!!

Making Logistics Marshals blink is my new favorite past time. I am so getting y'all at least a gift basket for the holidays.

Evil Princess is BEST princess. Tori, Tim, and Christine. I'm having a blast, but too many people time I am a darker PC than I really am.

Tari, really getting to understand the, "Bond," Argyle shares with her. He would die for her, but it is for a purpose.

I hope to see you all at the next event, until then, be excellent to each other.

So before I get too into my highlights. Last month when I found out Alisia was running this event I got all excited in Logistics at her. That's when my hype started! She kept saying she didn't know what she was doing but I knew and told her that she was going to do great and I am so happy it was awesome!!!

This whole weekend was entertaining! It was the most fun I had in a while!

In no particular order:

-"But What about Magical constructs" is the theme of Friday. Followed by Saturday morning where Dominic was the best guinea pig

-Undead snowman, and by that I mean an undead that was ordered to cover itself in snow. He was a good friend.

-Learning Blood Magic in order to do a ritual. "Learn" is a strong word since Leliana got to experience another's life in order try and perform a ritual to bring the Crone back to the town in order to get our memories back.

-Mage's Guild meeting. Watching Orophin and the Litch have a undead control fight. Also trying to get him to be nice, but to no avail.

- Making bad decisions after the nuclear option. The irreparable feeling of being violated because of it. Leliana had realized blood magic took the memories and the fact that it felt like it came in and sifted through pulling out what it pleased made her so angry. She hates the idea that something could have removed her control over herself.

- Mantel's salt is so salty that I have never been under so much shade and salt as I had before then.

-Telling, Falia not to let silly people ruin magic for her.

-Discussing Necrophitus with Aliester

-Family shenanigans as well as Swyft when she had forgotten things.

-Everybody haven forgotten most things and just casual blood magic in the middle of the room. Lots of side eye.

-More side eye when Cennius came around. Some fun times with our motley crew of mages and no healers, but everything ended up okay!

-Children!!! I can't wait!!!

So excited for so much in the future!!!!!!!

First off- Alisia, you're amazing. This was hands down my favorite event to date. After our conversation the other day about pushing the limits of what your skills can do and actually putting yourself out there to try and do things, I swore to myself that I would put my anxiety of looking stupid aside and just try to do things and see if they worked. And they worked

Event started out with my MM training with Zipeto which was a lot of fun. Learned a lot, helped send out some encounters. Look forward to more training at the alt event.

WERESPIDERS. So zipeto and I came up with the idea for this mod a few days before the event and I'm so glad it came together well, even with the Amazon prime snafu. I hope everyone enjoyed it. You guys did amazing rp and kept up with some crazy arachnids.

Came into game about 4am Saturday, immediately beset by people asking me if I know about Belegchand and why did I have his shield. Great rp with everyone who was still awake at that time

"They're taking our memories"
"Maybe it's better to forget? Maybe we're happier without them" (little did Cara know how right she was)

Sleep for a few hours and wake up for squire duty. Finally! Legitimately my 6th month as a squire and the first one I've actually had my knight at for more than just a few hours getting to participate in the ritual in the AG. That moment of "do I write what I'm about to write? Do I risk everyone knowing? But do I risk losing it?"

Coast haven ritual to the ma'khet!!! Thank you so much to justin for letting me take the lead in the coast haven bit and drew for marshaling it. My first time coming up with a ritual on the fly by myself and it was amazing!

In the middle of a golem attack and suddenly everyone is trying to call me over to talk to Serevar who is looking for my knight, who has just left for the day, thinking he's causing the problems. Whoops. Realize that Serevar is vis'raki without being told just because of the things Barak has told her.... and immediately get hit by a major memory loss, which wipes out s major defining childhood event. While I'm holding Belegchand's heroic shield. Double whoops. Guess Cara is now a super confident outgoing strongly heroic character. Immediately turns to the vis'raki and tells him she will make whatever sacrifice it takes for her to be able to learn or do what she needs to with blood magic to save the town, even if she can only do it temporarily. Which actually worked.

BLOOD MAGIC INTENSIFIES


Hearing the mother is out and running first 100 paces ahead of the rest of the army to charge. Stupid shield ;p

Alisia: "give me one good reason I shouldn't take at least one more memory from you for charging the field and being the first to see the mother?"
Me: "because I just imbued pure blood magic into my paper in the adventurers guild and sealed it with my blood?"
Alisia: "you're good!"

The big pull. Aka Cara loses every bad memory she's ever had and only remembers the good ones she wrote down in the AG. Suddenly you get full on good guy Cara who is happy and optimistic and full of hope. But who is also afraid as everyone else around her is breaking down about what happens to her when they succeed.

Telling starling and annora about her family and how she hopes they're safe, even if she can't remember where they are.

Blood ritual in the middle of the inn. No big.

Seeing aleister get expelled from his own lair in main mod. Trying not to oog laugh at him pawing at the door trying to get in.

The crash of memories back. Collapsing and hysterical sobbing in a snow bank, sobbing irl tears. (Yay crying on demand). Seeing aleister struggling and pulling herself out of her hysterics because helping him was more important, offering herself as an anchor point.

YOYO TIME!!! BOUNCY BOUNCY BOUNCY. HOPE YOU LIKED YOUR PRESENTS!!

Seriously, thank you to everyone to rped with yoyo. I was worried it was going to be a combat only thing but you guys were amazing.

Coming back in as Cara for a few hours to have some lessons about blood magic from Barak.

God number 3 in God bingo! Though the other two were more in passing. I don't know what I expected but I didn't expect Chronicler to be a book. But now it just makes perfect sense and I don't know why I ever thought they'd be anything else.

I rped with so many people this weekend I can't even make a list, so in general- thank you all. You're amazing

Running around the woods as a rogue Wendigo till the early hours of the morning. Fun times were had and to all the PCs I got the jump on, sorry

Despite having to leave early, my time as Gras was great.....also the looks on people's faces when they realized I had forgotten about Moon Elves :lol:


Overall, great event

OOG Highlights

• Most perfect and perfectly timed (and completely unplanned) RP moment in 4 years at KR: “Leir, do you know who I am? Do you know what Pendarvin is? Do you know what you did to Leandra and Rayven?” “HOLD – your memories all come back.” “Leir, do you know who I am? Do you know what Pendarvin is? Do you know what you did to Leandra and Rayven?” If I never play this game again, I will always know we absolutely killed that RP moment.

• Lelianna: Calls them “silly people.” Means “Malyc.”

• Fairy time with Taylor and Geoff. And snowmen.

• Telling Katie to grow some t*tties

• YoYo and the bleed moment of the event. By the Inn, Oren and Annora warn Faila and Nostarion that if they hear creepy laughing in the woods, don’t investigate – there is some odd clown homunculi wandering about. Faila and Nostarion walk to Pendarvin to go to sleep and are not at all concerned, as in many years they have never had a problem in that short walk. They are almost to the Statehouse when they hear creepy laughing and see a skipping someone coming up from the crossroads. We run like heck into the Pendarvin statehouse, slam the door (waking Charlie/Edwin in the process) and dissolve into a gale of nervous giggles and laughter. Alex and I both refuse to look out the window because we don’t want some scary face popping up or peering back in at us. The three of us can’t stop laughing and it was just serious OOG fun. Creepy clown critter shenanigans continue – including a rather large gift from YoYo. Best episode of bleed ever – Crystal definitely took over for Faila (I would like to think Faila is braver than that). The best part of the entire thing is that until I read the highlights I didn’t know who the NPC was – and I think that unknown made it more fun.

• The moment when Oren explains in a weapon mastery lesson why expert disarm is so important.

• Discussions with Thalia, Cyndra, Argyle, Gideon, Penelope, Clytie, Nalick, Ib, Fyodor.

• Horse tranquilizer.

• As an NPC, explaining to Fenri that a vet why a vet is better suited to treating elves than Kormyrians.

• Camp Sac with snow, full moon, and no wind. Much better than Camp Sac with snow, no moon, and a lot of wind.
