-Best mod for a MWE/Hobbling goes to the "Get this book back" Mod! "YOU, YES, JUST LIKE THAT MOVE THE DECIMAL OVER JUST A LITTLE OR RIGHT THERE RIGHT THERE! I broke OOG. I was in tears from holding my laughs in. Has to be my favorite mod ever! (minus trap mods)
-Friday night stupid o'clock MWE session and breaking Dave, Willow, and Krista.
-the breaking in of Dave when Me Duffy and Angel have a foursome and Dave gets pulled into it...then coming back to everything getting feared and Duffy looking at me going " we weren't that loud to scare them were we?"
-The monarch! an NPC (i believe it was Collin) "Do you love the Monarch?" and me going "I could learn to"
-My first time using a 2hander and doing well! I have never used one even as an NPC and i am proud of myself!...sorry for the few who I did wolip in the head though I am truly sorry and will work on it.
-Seeing some of the old time players again Henry, Luffa, and Bill. It was great to see you guys!
-Breaking my man Jcogg from some kind of command and he looks at me and tilts his head "Thanks Pip" and runs back into battle!
-CHEZZY BREAD!!! NOM NOM NOM! i could eat that all day!

Let's hope the board doesn't eat these like it did my Gettysburg faves ;)

- I was a little afraid to play Taryn after so long! (My last character card was from 2006, and she's... different) But it worked out pretty well.
- HERALD!
- Attempts at playing all sorts of angles of the political game
- Talking my way out of a few "taxes"
- Faust, Ambrosia & Michelle - So glad that Xander brought the materials for the summoning ;)
- Being promoted to Countess .. It has such a nice ring to it ;)
- Being disappointed that Kazzad Karr wasn't auctioning his own title, but then finding two... recent vacancies...
- Lord Xander's Audits
- Angry Castlebird
- Hamping frogs
- Being called "old school", even though I feel like I'm still the "new guy"
- Forgetting the name *I* gave to our estate.. yeah, it's been a while...
- All the surprised looks from people when they realized our positions in Home.
- Showing up after breakfast to the "Monarch" fight and trying to figure out who took over power after the Queen's death.
- "I guess this means we are in a 100 way tie"
- I forgot what a "good" team Taryn and Xander are. So noble and fair.
- Giving Gawain some material for his book
- "Oh, that's the wave battle..."
- Using nothing but 1 well timed confine until Sunday
 
Here goes...

---Thank you NPCs! You guys are always amazing! So much craziness went out and everyone played their part perfectly!

---Sluggernaut!

---All Hail The Monarch!

---All things Balls and Pippin! You two were a riot.

---Taking a walk just before dinner. Totally needed that. :)

---Vansir. They invoked ALL the feelings.

--- Hangover Mod. What a total blast that was. Big thank you to Colin for that. Kevin is going down and I am keeping the hat! Cow-punching contest with Castlebird, Jovunn spanking the bull and all the goodness that was involved.

--- The True Icenian Adventurer Tour. Dryad taint and the Vansir mating dance that involves screaming at little obnoxious children. "The rock has arisen too fast and is not going back to lay down"

I had an awesome time. Thanks again to everyone!
 
A View from the Darkside:

1) All of you who made lugging a certain outfit worth while to the event as well as putting it on.

2) "Is that even legal?" And Colins joy when he got his new toy.

3) Making new weapons in Camp

4) Hanging in the Kitchen, and having the good coffee Sunday Morning (it will come again)

5) Colin telling desk about a certain fight "Well the problem started when you realized the line was Me, Tom, Henry and Joe"

6) A weekend full of good clean fights from everyone all weekend

7) Realizing after a moment of trying to think, that I did not have a defense when Findarth appeared out of nowhere with his slay

8) Realizing who Illana was playing Friday night and walking up to Mike V and giving him some old school props.

9) 5 players all coming out of the closet

10) RP with Pipin and the PC Local nobles

11) The utter chaos of the Moth King fight "Why!!! Why is there a Moth...Way!!!!" You know Colin, there is something rather right when we are RPing crazy with only unconscious PC's around to see it.

See you in August!!!

I'm really glad I chose his weekend to come back to HQ - I really needed a relatively light-hearted weekend to fully ease back into the tiny barbar. I think that may be one of the biggest highlights - the fact we had a relatively not-serious weekend that was still as engaging as an event filled with drama and politics.

- Before going in game, Collin looks at me off the cuff and says, "Oh, when you wake up, you look like you got into a huge bar fight." And it only got better from there.

-Telling Grim about Eitiri and listening to his wonder and excitement as he read both of her letters. It was really heartwarming. Can't help but imagine how it would have gone if Kantil had gotten to him first, haha.

-THURISASZ (sp?)!! Loved Vansir bro-fisting with you all weekend. Jovunn is definitely liking you on Facebook.

-A certain offer from a certain Paladin that Kris knew about but Jovunn didn't. Glad Inat least got to play two events before Jovunn gets a stick up her butt again.

-Rolling with Nordenn on a pretty strict "everyone is equal" understanding was very cool.
It was also really wonderful pooling our money for the Eternal Repose rit scroll. It meant a lot to all of us. It was such a magical moment when Jovunn told Huleen what they wanted to do and he just said, "I have 48 gold to give." HEART GREW 3X.
-Huleen. Jovunn's going to adopt you as her brother, just you wait. Oh, and she'll get you a title, too. :p Loved that exchange: "do you have a title in the court?" "...Good question."

- Introduction of those crazy new Vakaran barbars and getting to flip a royal pancak at their UTTER LACK OF HONOR. When I first made this character, I really hoped that I'd get at least one opportunity to scream "kill them all!" for any reason, AND I FINALLY GOT TO GO IT AND IT FELT. SO. GOOD. Also entering into honor combat to get the sword back when the player knew full well she could never win against Collin.

-Subsequent anger and frustration with Thurisasz, love from Kantil, and a walk to the river with hem plus Huleen. Definitely needed to soak my feet and clear my mind.

-Guys. GUYS. Jovunn and Luka ACTUALLY GOT ALONG. AND EVEN MADE A JOKE OR TWO. World is ending. My heart exploded with glee when, for the first time in a year and a half, Luka called Jovunn "little one" in passing.

-Jovunn's lack of comprehensin re: "be generous and give freely to others". She is now completely destitute and won't say a word.

-SLLLLUUUUUGGERNAAAAAUUUUGHT.

-Bull-riding; thank you, Josh, for always rolling with my BS. Also, bull-spanking, bull no-no touching, cow wrangling, and just...cows.

-Bill Gibbs riding Toddo is an image worthy of a mural, just saying. Loved the Monarch, loved Toddo's flower-humping. It was all very magical.

-FOOD. Thank you to kitchen crew for the provision of readily available cheesybread, pierogies, and the other thing I didn't eat at request. That made staying energized a LOT easier.

-Oh, and hat-stealing, mint-eating antics with Kogara.

They're actually pretty darn honorable. He didn't steal your sword when you gave it to him, he claimed it as spoils after cutting you down. YOU were the dishonorable one who stole it back after someone else incapacitated him. It's all about your point of view and definition of honor. :P

The interaction between those two groups should be fun.

- hiding under the table in the tavern on saturday night when i had no weapons then surprising Grim when i came out
- Kantil and Gwen explain that her dagger was both fun size and bite size like her
- Becoming best friends with Ruis :) so different but so much alike

OMG I cannot say enough. I had so much fun this weekend!

So the RP that happened while I was Sonia was amazing! I loved everything about that NPC. I really hope that Plot lets me bring her out again to 'offer services' to you guys again

Disfunctional family!!!

The fact that Saturday night when 5 undead attacked the whole town came out to fight.

The clothing swap then running into the tavern to kill shadow things...it was suppose to be funny not save the tavern.....

The hang over group in general. I loved how you let Red die!

Honestly I did so much those were the ones that stuck out.

There might be more...who knows...OH! PICS ARE UP!!

You're on your way to Fairwinter Haven for apprenticeship ;)
 
This event was amazing and once again I loved NPCing with the fantastic people that make this game run like it does.

Friday Night:
Getting to be the Herald and bellow out names and NOT mess up. Considering I had fifteen seconds earlier said Lady Xander and Lord Tayrn and my tendency for messing up peoples names I take this as a victory.

Saturday:

ALL HAIL THE MONARCH! GLORY TO THE MONARCH!...Ahem..Toddo you are amazing for pulling that off for as long as you did.

Playing Lord Haster Pillock, nothing like playing a craven coward, being told to stop shivering, and then getting lifted off the floor by Robo-Find'rth.

Tavern fight. Nothing like playing the stuff of Sarr nightmares. That was amazing.

Sunday:

Hobling goons, because everywhere has bandits. Why should Home be any different? That was fun to roll with.

Rage zombie fight. Nuff said.


There is more but these are the major highlights in my mind at the moment. Cant wait to see you guys in July.
 
So many... I don't know where to start! Thank you again to all the amazing NPCs and everyone that made the food that kept my belly happy this event!

-Starting the event by giving Kida her present from Vinny, love helping out
-Ruis brain fizzing out when lizard-kin attacked and hearing that they weren't citizens then screaming at everyone not to attack Huleen if he showed up
-Finding the hangover mod group because of Castlebur's screaming then giving him enough fudge to knock him on his ***
-Being way-laid by a kobald in the middle of the tavern as I was talking to people and consequently falling face first into the kobald head I was holding
-Sluggernaut, I healed Jovunn's butt
-That freaking butterfly, screw the monarch I'm hiding in the woods! (I've wanted to do that so much)
-During the monarch fight, being protected by Collin (townsperson) who was freaking out, "SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP AND PROTECT ME! I know you're scared but SHUT UP!"
-Learning magic from Castlebur of all people...
-My happy walk with Thorn
-All things Pippin. Ruis owns his hat her leaves are even in it to prove that, "Arcane Pippin Charm", I can hit him in the face with aura more times then I can count, so much ridiculous flirting (and awkward attempted on Ruis part), INTENT!, Hit him with Kantil's hammer? Nah just grab his horn
-All the lovely other MWEs, Gwen and Victoria you two are awesome and Spheres just adds to make it all the better
-Ket (elf boy who carries my stuff!) you are awesome and ask all the right sort of questions maybe some day she'll tell you all about her family and silver mark
-Ending the weekend with a Red Madness fight, Ruis was literally scared to death (Thank you Alda for that one) but in the end everything went well and it helped her feel better about healing people in heated situations

I cannot wait until July! See you all then!
 
I didn't go to this weekend, but from looking at the pictures, my favorite of the event was how few human PCs were at the event. I think I MIGHT have counted 5.

What's wrong with humans?

You're a racialist......

LOL!

--- Eric "Human" Stehle / Ivan "Human" Drake
 
First off, THANK YOU NPC's!!!! This was one of my favorite events, and it couldn't have been possible without all of you.

-Castlebird wigging out Friday night. "My face is cold!"
- RP with Pippin. If there was anyone who could get a good length conversation out of Huleen, it's you. Great time, and I can't wait to meet Cuar. *Smirk*
-INTENT!!
-Alex as the Hobling barkeep. You were a champ, and I can't say how many times I came close to breaking watching you wander around the tavern being a happy guy despite all the abuse.
-SLUGGERNAUT!!!!
-All Hail The Monarch!! I don't think I've ever run so much in my life.
-Bill Gibbs riding Toddo. PHYS REP!
-Everything Nordenn. Being able to Rp extensively with Thurizaz, and making a closer bond with Ruis. We did an amazing job acting together with no actual leadership, especially in the last fight, and we really stuck to the "everyone's equal" mandate. I'm so happy I decided to join the court.
-Buying the ritual in the auction. Getting that made up for not getting anything for myself 1000X.
-Jovunn. This event really made me realize that you've become the closest thing to a sibling Huleen has. If you're able get him adopted, I think he might breakdown and cry from happiness.
-RP Jinx, Flint, Raina, and everyone else. This event really made Huleen come out of his shell and talk to people and it was awesome.
-FOOD. Oh my gods, the food. I'm donating more often.
-Grim trying to get Huleen to use a pole-arm the entire weekend. Keep trying, man!
-The Red Madness fight. Everyone did a really good job of keeping formation and making sure nobody was down. It was really great to see, and I hope we keep it up.

Can't wait for the next event!
 
I’d like to start by thanking everyone who makes a game this awesome run so smoothly – NPCs, staff, and even PCs who dedicate so much time and energy into making the atmosphere real… I think we had a REALLY good mix of people this event. I can’t pinpoint it, but I just loved the dynamic. I <3 you all!

- FRANK C, I KNOW I TOLD YOU A BILLION TIMES, BUT YOU MADE THIS WEEKEND SO FREAKING AMAZING FOR ME!!!!! Hunting RP, really tense questioning conversations, chastising about mint, completely breaking me by yelling at me about attacking people from a “higher caste,” refining my immature perception of honor by talking about coin … You really have no idea, so many of those things hit Nikhujo SO HARD because of stuff from her history that she refuses to tell you… I could pretty much write a novel about how meaningful all the interactions were for her IG, and how much I loved going through it OOG. I just… I freaking loved every second we had. You stayed so strictly in character and pushed all the right buttons, I couldn’t be more thankful for someone like you to play a Gorbe with!

-As much as I hated it IG… Being high on mint!! AAAAH!!! Kogara, you sneaky, trippy little jerk! You should know an 8-year-old Gorbe has NO TOLERANCE and NO RESISTANCE to that stuff! Keep it away from me!! xD But yes. Playing with lights, deep discussions about colors, attacking things that jingle ::coughLUKAcough:: and chasing Flint around… possibly the most fun I’ve ever had OOG! But now Nikhujo is SO BROKEN and SO ASHAMED! Ahhh!!!

-This is gonna sound weird, but I have to say that one of my favorite things to do this weekend was storm off and have angsty, alone-time RP with myself. I was so freaking deep into this character, every time I was off skulking I would just brood so deeply about everything… then being rash enough to run back in and confront people as soon as I thought up a question, then running off if they tried to ask ME a question… I kinda fell in love with playing this character. She turned out just like I wanted, and I’m super happy xD

-Being able to have a super involved and busy weekend while having NO IDEA what was actually going on, plot-wise. I really really reeeeeeally love how player interaction can take this well-established game and make it something totally deeper, and more meaningful/individualized. Gyah. So good.

-Sparring with Chulainn. “NEVER. BACK. DOWN.” I’m so freakin sad that was cut sorta short, because it was SO AMAZING to be that into character and fighting each other with that intensity! Hissing and roaring and slashing… I DEMAND MORE GORBE TRAINING FIGHTS AT GATHERS!!! :D

-Sparring with Kogara while high, though ENTIRELY DIFFERENT, also needs to be pointed out as something awesomely enjoyable.

-Also, sparring with Kantil! Even though no one was able to officially teach her anything, Nikhujo has a secret sick obsession with learning how to kill from as many people as possible. So yes. Please fight me.
- CHANDREKAZ, AAAAAAAHHHH. NIGHTMARES. I WILL HAVE THEM. I really liked how these creatures gave me a chance to really show how young Nikhujo is. She’s terrified of the Gorbe boogy-men! She’s running far away from home now, but if these things follow her across the ocean, she’s gonna have a BAD TIME.

- The final Red Madness fight just went so perfectly. Exact right amount of terror, teamwork, action… I freaking love a good, clean, horrifying fight.

Thanks again, everyone, for roleplaying with me and giving my spastic, restless, angsty, super-mean jerk of a little kid sarr a really really satisfying debut. She hates people A LOT, so she won’t come back for many gathers (unless she knows someone has something to teach her about killing or hunting…) But I seriously adored playing her! So… Thanks!!! :D
 
Awesome weekend!!

My favs:

- Keeping a lookout for Jynx and Gwen when they were catching fireflies and especially Gwen's simple joy of running around
- "Jynx, I bought you a boot! See, see? Go get it!" *throws boot*
- Failing to understand the reasons behind taxation, and being just a little too inquisitive/critical with my questions. Also I loved the subsequent warnings that I might just have to watch my tongue around these parts.
- NIKHUJO! Susie, you're amazing! The costuming was phenomenal, what brief roleplay Kujo would allow (yes, Kujo, it's going to be a thing) was frustratingly fun, and I especially liked your tendency to be in the middle of a conversation and then all of a sudden go stalk off to be alone. Also, your mint-trip RP was hilarious! As much fun as they were OOG, IG I could only think, "If something attacks right now, she's so screwed." It was also awesome trying to stop Kogara from giving you them and having him say, "If you take these, I will violently kill you." Oh, and teaching you colors. "Grrrrrass is grrrrreen!"
- Vanguard, you guys really have your sh*t together! It was awesome rolling with you guys; I really got the "we're a military unit, we don't **** around" vibe! Thanks again for your camaraderie and helpfulness!
- Pippin, Balls, Vicky, Gwen (and Kantil): WOW, was this event an eye-opener! Ketemycos hadn't really known much about MWEs before this, so yeah, horny MWEs are horny! And also just good plain fun to hang around. I particularly enjoyed the epic aura fight in the middle of the tavern, "INTENT!," Romani Hold 'Em (you'll have to win your coin back next event - and by that I mean let me take more of it), and of course Pippin's "I call forth an orgasm!"
- Ruis, it behooves one not to be waylayed inside the tavern. It looks bad on our hosts. And it was totally in no way my fault at all whatsoever. Some great RP, too, Ketemycos is really curious about your story and who you actually are. Also, "I claim this elf!" and literally picking me up. :D
- ALL HAIL THE MONARCH! Nuff said.
- I loved the ledger recovery mod with the hobling getting off from someone doing his accounting. "Oh, yes, MOVE that decimal point! The tip's getting dry; dip it in again!" (Referring to the quill and ink, as we discovered.)
- To the hobling bartender, NO, WE DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO DRINK. Yeesh. But seriously, Alex, wow, that character was awesome! A true hobling worthy of great profits!
- There was this mod that I think I went on and had a blast, but it's kind of hazy. And I don't remember what was in that bottle in my hand afterward. Hmm....
- The tour group! "This dryad is evil!" "This elf can't hit any target at all!" Kantil and Jovunn scaring them away made me laugh really hard. And then the possible talks of LARPception!

Can't wait till July!
 
Ermahgerd, what an event! Having the silly vibe was just delightful, and definitely provided for some great roleplay despite its general tone! Here are my particular favs:

-LOVE THE MONARCH. LOOOOVE THE MOOONAAAARRRCCCHHH. Also, Toddo humping flowers is one of those things I just never thought I was going to get to see. But oh, see it I did. I did. And I am forever changed.

-Can there ever be enough said about the epicness that was the Hangover mod? From herding cows ("I touch the bull's no-nos one! I touch the bull's no-nos two! I touch the bull's no-nos three!" "Prepare to die, stun right leg.") and slinging Emily over one shoulder, to getting an intensely accurate tarot reading on Jeb, to Luka actually joking with Jovunn and TOTALLY TALKING TO A NOBLE AND MAKING A DIFFERENCE WAT, this whole weekend was just peppered with intense win.

-HAMPING. IN. THE BUSHES. Also, the naughty bar. Every time Faust is around, life gets so much better. Except in the extremely dangerous, horribly bloody, death-soaked Unseelie Fae lands, of course.

-Dee is a frog goddess/devil. This is all that needs to be said.

-As usual, all things Larien. Oh my God, Luka's life is incomplete without her Larien. I almost died from Larien-lack last month, and now all is well! Just the look on her face as Luka drunkenly tried to explain the effects of the Puritan's intoxicate-box was worth the price of admission. Also, ALL CUDDLING AND DRESS UP. LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.

-Alex, you are the most tolerant creature I have ever met in the entirety of my life. Bless you and your poor, constantly violenced hobling barkeep.

-Okay, guys, I know it and you know it. My sister is awesome. "TINY CREATURE, I WILL SHOW YOU THE WAAAAYYY!" Also, the coolest, best-research cheetah makeup EVAR. And the bapping of all Luka's jewelry = priceless.

I am sure there are plenty I am missing, but I am straight up braindead at this point. Oy! More if my mind comes back to me XD
