Hey all, sorry I had to bail out early on this one! Had a great event all through, and huge thanks to the staff, NPCs, plot team, and fellow players for making it so. The out of town folks were awesome, just sorry we didn't have more time to sit around and try to one-up each other with tales of previous shenanigens, but that means we'll just have to do it again and make time. I'll put some more specific thanks and props into a "fave moments" posting but had to make sure the big ol' THANK YOU AND CONGRATS ON A GREAT EVENT didn't get swallowed up in the yammerings.
 
I want to thank all the staff, NPC's, and players for such an amazing event, one of the best I have had in a long time.

Many, many, many thanks deserve to be dished out, and I'm probably going to miss a number of people that deserve it:

  • Holly, for bringing heart to what could have been a phenomenally pedantic combat weekend. (And for putting up with my general harshness. :) )
  • Conrad, for taking it upon yourself to organize Monster Camp when you realized how ill you were.
  • The NPCs as a group, for putting up with how hard we pushed them to stay active.
  • Dave and the Fuzzy Mugs, for keeping me fed.
  • The visitors, your dedication to character and roleplay bring up our game.
 
(Anyone not mentioned is solely through my fault and lack of rest last night)

Praise is indeed due, you guys put on a mean event. :)

Holly,

You are an cruelly descriptive person your description of certain scenes and mods made me shiver a bit. The description of the orphanage was shocking and painful to hear. Your NPCs were awesome and drew people to them like moths to the flame and your plot was very fun and thought out.

JP,

You are a devilishly cunning and quite mercyless creature and I shall forever have a bit of rancor in my heart for the near stomping which you and Holly issued me Saturday night by the cabin. I had never been in a protracted fight so evenly matched and that 5 mins alone took the wind out of my sales and beat me. I also have never expected to start an event in such a predicament, thanks for making me feel like a hog tied pin cushion :), and for being thoughfull in your Sunday nigth scaling. It was fun to see a bad guy react intelligently to a nasty quicksilver curveball by sending ouy a mixture of his regulars with some stone mixed in. It kept me guessing and off pace until the spirit of the hunter called me out.

Gid,

Wow- I can cry in a scene if its sad, and my character is often unsure of himself. but never did I expect to be on my knees sobbing in front of 3 strangers in the moonlight begging for my life to be easier. Nor did I ever think I could be so instilled with rigtheous fury. It was quite cathartic and I loved it.


I absolutly loved the attention which was paid to certain details of your plot and our whole group couldn't have been more seamlessly intergrated into the weekend plot so thanks on behalf of all members of Lifestorm for your extra effort.

To all NPCs,

You guys rocked, I said it on Monday and I know plot team would agree. You couldn't ask for more energy, enthusiasm and patience in a monster camp. Despite several of you being newer to the game, you still challenged those around you through RP and fighting.

Fuzzy Mugs,

FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODZs! I needs it... you supplied it... that makes you guys awesome in my book. :)

Dave,

For making this all possible and for not wearing a full plate armor on Saturday nigth otherwise I may not have enjoyed my weekend. I think its important that we all encourage travel around the alliance as friendships are formed both in and out of game and you went out of your way to make sure we felt welcomed to your chapter.


To the Players,

This is an awesome group, from costuming, to RP and good clean fighting. You guys are utlimatly the vehicle which drives not only alliance seatle but alliance as a whole. Be proud of that fact because you guys are the reason for it all.

Thanks to all from the bottom of my heart

I would like to say that there are a lot of people I want to thank. I'm going to thank you all at once cause it's so hard to thank you all individually. You all made me feel like I was in a completely different world. It was one of the most intense events I have ever been too. It was great to see all of those that I had met before during the weeklong in Traverse City and wonderful to meet new people. The hospitality was wonderful, being warmly greeted when I arrived was the best.

Thank you all for the great event, PCs, NPCs, Plot and Logistics alike.
 
I wanna thank everyone who worked their butts off to make this event possible. It was one of the best I have ever been to and I won't soon forget it. Thanks.
 
Thank you everyone. I had an amazing time, all of the role play with different characters and NPCs was wonderful. There were many scenes that I enjoyed whole heartedly. As Vicki said I felt like I was in a different land with different dynamics and rules. The amount of energy both put in and taken was awesome. It was the first time in a while that my mind was tired before my body. All of the thinking a problem solving is something that I really enjoyed. Not to mention the look on Cassandra's face when we were singing drunkin songs about Alvatar's wine before the battle was great. I hope to see you all again.

Thank you again for making me feel welcome,
Amanda

Other PC coming up to me: Are they drinking?
Me: Yeah
Other PC: Should they be drinking before a fight?
Me: You tell them they can't...


Favourite moments of the event:

Dinner on Saturday night with Duke D'Orsini after he made the announcement that we would have to give up our weapons. It was the most awkward meal I've ever had to sit through in game. Thankfully, Liddia was able to keep everyone from coming to blows at the table.

Sitting at the table with Elle and Bart as Elle goes off on a small tangent about not being able to have a meeting with Shikar about trade rights/agreement before he left. When she was semi-finished I revealed that I had the authority to enter into negotiations on such things and we worked out a trade agreement right then.

Having an Eli moment: standing right next to Jehan during the Saturday night fight as he's asking where I am.
 
Hey guys... thank you so much for welcoming us with open arms, and throwing us under the bus with everyone else. :D

Some of my favorite moments of the weekend:

[*]Cards with Baron Polare
[*]The Magic Storm Twins (only was missing "Magic Storm Twins, activate!")
[*]Eating leaves as a gnoll when double-hooking
[*]Meeting the Queen of Nightmare
[*]The conversations with Sir Kreger convincing Stoneskull that he wasn't screwed after his visit with his boss
[*]Watching people actively turn and take other paths the first day after arrival, with people scared of the big green guy
[*]The death of the Huntsman, and the explanation after... that was some of the most descriptive storytelling I've heard in a long time
[*]Pre-fight drinking songs... nothing soothes the nerves better... and scares those you're fighting with. 8)
[*]The Battle for the Tavern... this siege battle was so much fun... the teamwork was phenominal
[*]The post-battle snacks in our cabin on Sunday night... Cheese-Its make the world go round. Really, they do.

Thank you so much for having us out there. Thank you Fuzzy Mugs for the great food. Thank you staff for being so courteous and giving with your time and energy, and pushing my roleplaying skills to a new level. Hopefully I can make a trip to the west coast a yearly thing... and I hope to see some of you coming to visit us in Chicago!

I think I'll have to make my next cross-country chapter visit out to Chi-town... Went to an HQ event a couple years back, its coming up on time to go elsewhere again. Time to try the "Concerned Citizens on Loan" act again.

"Celestial Caster of Minor Note", I think, will be the new tag line.
