Great weekend HQ, thanks for all the fun! Thanks NPCs for being hardcore and continuing to kick *** even in the freezing weather and rain.
-Finishing my shield and finally being able to rock it this weekend. Having Chazz as Thruggz smacking it intermittently throughout the weekend. Years ago Thruggz taught Tetsu to hold a shield, and finally he's got it! Thruggz is the best Sensei ever. Most entertaining part of all this was when Thruggz dropped me because I was holding my shield and sword w/ one hand rendering me vulnerable to attacks on my shield. It was a very delayed reaction haha.
-Seeing lots of old friends and meeting new friends. I was especially happy to see Tonya as Shya. Love you Tonya, the game is better with you there! I love roleplaying with you. Thanks for feeding me too!
-Seeing Irina again, it's always a pleasure. Samara am awesome-sauce.
-Meeting Sevaria of Goshawk! Kelsey rulzzzz.
-Kicking the Undeads in their rotten junk w/ my girlfriend hehe. Rebecca is the sexy super soldier hehe. I love embarassing Sophie with my loudmouth ways. Ms. Dawn is ever so proper, and Tetsu is...well...Tetsu is not hah. <3
-Rolling with the Ash Forest and going on my first nature walk with them. I really enjoy being a part of the court.
-The RP mod to recover the ability to cast ritual magic. Lots of fun interaction with Michelle and Toddo as their roles respectively. Asking Bryani to communicate with his briar kin and ask them to release themselves from my clothing haha.
-All things Arkelian Hunt. These guys are family in and out of game as far as I am concerned. They are the guys I started playing this game with and I love rolling with them. I was really pleased there was such great camaraderie between our characters and both teams I'm affiliated with. It was a really positive experience.
-RP at Koshi's spirit farewell. Those are never especially fun experiences (spirit farewells) for me, but the intense roleplay is welcome. Will is an amazing player and a great sport. He had a really rough '08 with his PCs but he is still going strong and kicking ***. The range between Koshi and Gebous highlights what an amazing roleplayer he is and I'm really happy to play the game with him.
-Listening to Cuar tell me about how he does not think he's mighty and then watching him terminate a very substantial enemy AND perform a cat like fall from the beam in the tavern. He fell asleep and would have faceplanted were it not for his keen ninja skills. It was great to see you Chris!
-The mod where we recovered a brand spankin' new celestial spell book. Symerille is the giga genius elf! "Him brain am so big it like come out him ear when he sneeze." Alushtas is a really cool character and it was great to play with Harold again. Sophie kicked the elementals *** with me, and Wizard Nathan was practically giddy when he got his hands on a full book with new spells. Tetsu's new fear is the banish spell...I wonder where we would have ended up if we didn't have spell shields on
-Creating an Undead Slayer thanks to my team and Sym's talents! It has been a dream of mine to make an enchanted weapon like this for a long time. Later on using it on some vampires and swinging '11 Magic' as a scholar felt so good. It was great to roll with Thruggz and smite the undead. I believe it was Matt Keyser who eventually ended my fun with an ULTRA stealth waylay...well played sir, that was frightening!
-Uncle Muggins the Earth caster. Tedd is really in to his character and I think the changes he made are aweseom. I'm really glad you had fun with that bro.
-Watching Gebous wand down crunchies was quite entertaining.
-RP w/ Baron Rorii regarding the code and just chilling with the court.
-All things Natalia!!! She saved my *** sooooo much. When the crazy fast zombies showed up I thought so many of us were dead, but it was not so, because Natalia is the CRAZY stealth panther healer. She army crawled over huge stones and debris to get to all of us and life us. It was nuts. I was staring up in to the sky counting my death count and out of the corner of my eye I swear I saw a big cat lol. Then I heard 'I grant you the gift of life' softly in my ear. I thought for a second a puma had come over and saved my life, but it was Natalia creeping past saving everyone's life haha. It was amazing.
-RP w/ Brian as Air Raksa...our polar opposite relationship became not so polar! It was really cool hanging with my uncle and observing how the change in magic may have changed more than my Uncle's skills!!
-Getting warm in the healer's guild and having a chance to rp with Henry for a little while as Sherriff Harrison about the state of Dockside etc. (THANKS SHERRIFF HARRISON!) and giving a little bobble to Sophie Dawn and receiving the kiss on my cheek that made Tetsu blush poo brown...yeah. LOL.
-Seeing Ali as Zehnyu. It was short but sweet. Ali rocks and I can't wait to have the chance to play an entire event with her again!
-Duffy (Balls) busting his *** for all us weary and hungry folk. Thanks so much man. I hope we can go on some mods together next event!!
-Giving my first report at the noble meeting saturday morning.
-Tab's KICK *** multiple personality RP. Holy efff I have never really seen him slip between Delphi and Wik so quickly. It was crazy. Wik is an amazing character played by a great dude.
-Constantly being at odds with Ciaarah the Salesman about those delicious turnovers. Jess is so funny lol. I bought one for Darlassia!!!
-Seeing Dennis Berish again!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!
-RP w/ Mr. Engler about his time in the Vansir lands. Mike has so many characters and each one of them are their own person. He is an amazing player who I cannot give enough props to.
-Stupid o'clock story telling with Uzio and Ithica! Ithica tells some really entertaining tales that's for sure.
Jeez I could go on and on. It was great to celebrate the de-rusting in HQ. Thanks again to all the NPCs, new players on both sides of the fence for coming, and HQ staff for making it happen. I had a lot of fun and could go on and on but my brain is starting to melt.
