Feel free to post favorites and the like here, I'll swing back and drop mine soon as I manage to put my brain back together. It was great to see so many people out in the cold and so enthusiastic about the plotlines.

Special thanks as always go out to our great staff, both old and new for all their exceptional work!
 
I would like to thank everyone for such a wonderful event, but I especially would like to thank Ryan and the other folks who made us such wonderful food! Our banquet would have been nothing if not for them! All the side dishes and desserts were delicious (congrats to Paul and Thomas for winning) and I hope we can do something like this again sometime. Here are some of my favorites from the event, in no particular order:

- Hengin and the Forsaken of Lightning making puns about the Forsaken of Ice.
- Being unconscious for (cumulatively) several hours this event. I should start tallying the number of times I get Waylaid. Baffling Thorador and others with my unconsciousness was great as well. ;)
- "Voice Radius: Control Spawn"... Fun stuff.
- Being charged for Endangering the Town and getting my mirror confiscated.
- The Fern vs. Thorador ale guzzling contest.
- The after-Talon stuff that I did with Fern and Novi. Good times.
- Finally having met all four of the Forsaken. I'm the only one in town who has.
- The Pretorak Ambassador Disjuncting mod. Fighting never-ceasing Corrupt is always fun, especially when there's a bunch of super powerful Corrupt Constructs around. Jumping in front of a Spellstrike Death is always fun to do as well.
- Pan-Da and I looking for Celestial teachers the entire event.
- Having to "sleep" in the Celestial Circle for the town's safety. Thanks again for letting me sleep out-of-game on a bed in the cabin instead of just on the floor of the tavern.

There's probably more, but my mind is kind of a mush right now. Perhaps more will come later.
 
Awesome event, it reinspired me as to why I love larp.

-The "female" dwarf at silly oclock with the corresponding "I didn't know dwarfs could handle a two hander"
-The awesome corrupt fight, especially going back after people that were left behind.
-Having my dwarvain blood start to run and feeling heroic again for the first time in a while. Fights that make you feel helpless or when you don;t understand the cause really takes away ones desire to risk your life. But this game made Thorador have the deep feeling of, hey I believe in this cause, I will give my life for it, it is the honorable and just thing to do.
-My ale drinking contest with Fern
-Subsequently having to go to the bathroom every 30 min for the next 4 hours or so.
-The Chinese checkers match
-Getting my first made magical item
-Getting kendra an awesome magical item for her
-The jig saw puzzle quest and the reward, not that I claimed anything but I loved seeing Torq, who choose to play his character by staying in the tavern most of the time, being rewarded and entertained as well. I hope someday he will become our awesome tavern defender, heh.
-Getting so much accomplished in my various dealings, and at least the begining of progress on some goals
-Seeing the new NPCs develop and grow so much throughout the event
-Oh and alexander, I am pritty sure I have met them all, I have met fire, ice, lighting and stone, admittedly I didn't do much talking to any of them but =P heh
-I know there is more but atm my mind is blank, I'll post more latter

Oh, I guess you have, then. I forgot that you were with me when I spoke to Flame.
 
Thanks to Dave for holding a weekend event in the practically-Winter! It was fun! The banquet was a great idea, too, and I think we should definitely do it again next year. Thank you NPCs, PCs, and everyone inbetween for making not only this weekend, but all of the SoMN events in the past year so amazing! I love you guys! :D

I'll try to think of some more specific favorites later. Although, the best part for Talitha was definitely having Hengin return!
 
Aww, man, I regret totally missing this event.

Wish I could've made it. Stupid work.
 
I want to thank the NPCs who were out for hours in the cold or toiled for the whole day in that hot kitchen. You guys kicked butt all weekend.

I loved that plot moved forward this weekend in a really fun, dramatic way. I loved all the RP, the good stuff, the arguing, strengthening bonds and making news ones. I had something to do, or being done to me within 20 mins of being in game all the way till I fell down dead tired saturday night. Some of my favorites:

-20 min into game getting a visit from the Ice Forsaken... getting stomped by her Panthergast and the resulting RP.
-The "drinking contest" with Thorador and Tarqaq.
-Auction Shenanigans with Forests Edge.
-Making Lady Grey blush.. several times.
-Panda Fur Jokes...Thanks Paige.
-Burying the hatched, partially, with Hengin.
-Making spellink with brown sugar caramel and Boggle Juice.
-The Food (and taking 2nd place for my gravy and 1rst for my dessert)
-The gold exchange between Novi and I.
-The diplomatic protection mod and the later "misshap".
-"feel this...now imagine that..." You know it if you were there.
-Vampire Charmed Rolling McGregor and the no hard feelings moment later on.
-McGregor's Gas Storm saving my butt from the Baron.
-Getting to affect plot with the swing of 1 sword at the absolute worst moment. It was a really cool dramatic moment for me and made my season. This a few minutes after finding Gandian guilty of "endangering the town". Oops.

I want to thank Ryan Burhke (sp) who plays McGregor the Lich or the Tavernkeeper for taking all the time for 2 seasons to run an awesome Tavern. Thanks Ryan your help does not go unnoticed.

I also want to Thank Tim and Jenny Sireno for being so kind to me and recognizing Dave and I both.

Lastly, thanks to everyone who made it. I had a great time.
 
-Healing during the corrupt mod, While I was consonance I don't think anyone was down for more than 30 seconds
-Suggestting that I get the puzzle to compleate it durring the knoll/corrupt mod only to be suggested that we shouldn't, 5 min latter Miss ice elemental showed up
- Noticing the Ice elemental first and keeping the young and eagger away and alive
-Helping everyone who worked on the puzzle to agree to giving Torq the awesome magic item, may he use it to help protect the tavern.
- Waylaying Torq so he could help Tondra and I fill bottles with blue boggle bile.
- Fern almost falling for the Gorka trap "Squishy Gorka is all alone out here"
- Fern's Complement about me Saving El during the corrupt mod
- Thorodor and Fern tipping me for healing
- Harliquin's fancy shirt
- Kovo teaching me spells and continuing to help me learn my lower circles too.
- Teaching McGregger the first night in the tavern you make a good student with good questions
- Getting my flower attuned
- Feeble mind mushrooms
- bandit- "with mystic force I pin you" Hengin- "I grant you the gift of death"
- Fortress Dance
- D'rezz's tea ceremony
- the instant tension soon as the prince showed up
- being trusted with the swan puzzle
- Being given a once ever life item by forest's edge
- Trying to actively consecrate on my armor only to be distracted several times and getting carried back to the tavern.
- Female Dwarf
- El knocking me out, a lot.

Thank you very much for a beautiful event, Cold but very memorable.
 
OMG I forgot.... that shirt was awesome! Better yet that he kept a straight face the entire time.
 
Favorites!

-Bandit, "With Mystic Force I pin you."
Hengin, "I grant you the gift of DEATH!"

-Kovu, "I curse you with destruction"
Ice Forsaken, "resist"

Ice Forsaken, "resist"
Kovu, "I curse you with DESTRUCTION"
Ice Forsaken, "Amplify reflect..."
Kovu, "Oh crap!"

-McGregor, "Are you going to share that bottle of wine?"
Kovu, "nope!"
McGregor, "That's kind of rude."
Kovu, "Yep!"

-Hengin's first ritual; beautifully performed!!
-Panda's Berserk while in the Sanctum. Beautifully RPed. lol!
-Everyone who played with my construction sticks. I was really jealous I couldn't play with you guys more.
-Derek for returning my binder to me from the guild hall. <3
-Lady Gray's face when sitting between the Prince and the Prince's food taster.
-Auction Shenanigans with Fern.
-Using the a ritual scroll the town found to make a life item for the town (which Gorka has). And randomly having a Koala stuffed animal on site to put it in. ;)
-Everything Eldandril, from her passionate invitation for Kovu to become a MWE to our serious conversation about vacations while strolling behind a moving front line.
-Talitha Talitha Talitha! So many times when I realized with needed help Talitha would appear OUT OF NOWHERE with her beautiful outfit and tool the monster from behind. Excellent fighting young lady!!
-Everyone's beautiful outfits for Banquet. Beautiful work by everyone!
-Fleeing from the lightning forsaken and using every spell shield and reflect I have while running from Stephen to get Hengin a life item.
-Initiating D'rezz onto Forest's Edge. We are excited to have you Andrew!
 
I think the banquet was AWESOME!! and most surpriseing in the unusual twists that the events unfolded into. makes the upcoming year interesting.
 
I would like to say thank you to all our players and all our staff for an amazing event. It's been an awesome year as GM and I look forward to more awesome craziness when the spring thaw hits! That said:

- Friday Night Fights and not taking a single spell effect, spell shield addiction FTW.

- New family members and the return of old ones.

- Disjuncting back in to rescue El and the Orc and being convinced we'd all die and then making it out. When the crap hits the fan our town can really pull together.

- Being berserked coming back unconscious and unarmed and all the RP that ensued. "What's wrong with Panda" "I think that's what a Beserked panda sounds like" and getting to tell people off cause it's the only thing i could do inside the sanctum to be outrageously angry.

- Lady Gray, I am your servant always.

- Bonding with Fern, hoping he'll realize Panda is a bit special too.

- Really feeling like a templar, and loving it.

- All the RP with soooooo many people. The RP was just amazing for the whole event!

A very well executed winter event, and I am happy to have had it so that we could endure the hardships of winter. Camp Sterns was a very good choice for the site, and the non combat portion worked well for overlapping the windy portion of the night, as well as good food and company to enjoy.

-Asking people for a silver blunt weapon after the first few panthergast pops, and wondering if I was going to have to just run around until dave got tired.
-Running around shooting 60 arrows at dave, because I ran out of armor after 3 hits.
-Getting to Phys rep another carrying for good effect
-'I blunt you free one'
-Cure mortal wounds potion in myst caves
-Carrying around fern, over here, then over there, then back over and bit into the tree's - unintentionally playing possom to get ice forsaken off me.
-Learning that the Torc had been found adventuring, albeit quite forcefully and illegally by the friendly green gorka.
-Useing endow potions to quickly get people off front line to the core group
-Useing all but 1 of my 8 break commands this weekend, specifically running past the corrupt lines to get El back from her fear.
-Coming to the out circle and being invited in berserked and completely unarmed and seeing absolutely no blunt weapons on anyone! Kendra is very strong
-Talitha helping me button my 25 button shirt - only to notice I had miss buttoned at the top halfway through (Like I can see my chin!)
-Building with sticks with color compliment
-Playing games prior to supper
-Talking to Gandian about him being accused of endangerment, and being able to retort his aguement that people are persecuting him because of ill feelings at him.
-Getting to see how intense the room went when the prince arrived- knowing I was the only charecter with a 'level' head at the moment.
-Helping some people understand the gravity of the prince showing up, and also learning a bit from others. Having a chance to kindove use the calm emotions :)
-The furious copper bid war on two auctions, even though only one of them was reverse. How dare Kovo outbid Panda! Such infighting will surely drain the coffers of Forest Edge.
-Setting the goal of talking to another stone elf, and not getting a chance to because I was so distracted (even after I got reminded).
-Going back to cabin, to re armor and having Tonedra help Unbotton said 25 buttons kinda rapidly.
-Watching the happenings with Novi and Fern, and then quietly being the messenger bird I am.
-Not being in the group that had to role the stone elf.
-Watching the Forest Edge initiation ritual. Congrats Andrew.
-Squishing my hammer halfway through the corrupt nightime mod to see all the snow be formed on my ice blade.
-@ Gorka, I am not eager - I am just fearless! I just wanted to confirm it was her before I said anything.
-Trying my best to stay properly IC when people are eating mushrooms, crawling through ward windows, fortress dancing, deathing bandit for a pin.
-Seeing Emalyns smile when she walked in the tavern and el was halfway back through the ward window. something along the lines of 'uhoh weve been caught!'.

I wish to also give a big thanks in particular to all our NPC's, you endured prolly twice as much cold as any of us, and probably the worst of the icey weapons. A great weekend, and I hope you feel braver to host another banquet as all the dishes were wonderful that I tasted.

Pisssh! I knew that!... well - for me it will be known as site that has heated cabins and heated showers.
 
Thank you NPC's!!

Just some of my Favs

- RP and hunting with Hengin, and coming back with a wolf pup for both of us (got to get that tag)
- The gnoll's "I ..CALL..FORTH..A ....LIGHTNING BOLT!" So much energy even when they cast their spells.
- NPC crunchies elaborate death falls
- "Kendra want to go on an adventure?" -Kendra smiles big-
- First Panthergast calling gypsies and seeing Tork run and scream like a girl and later playing possum :P lol
- Tork getting his first magic item solving a puzzle
- Seeing Thor down...running over and feeding him a potion and right after the 3 count get hit and start dying on top of him...he just laying there "beginning first aid" XD
- getting a magic item with sacrifice! Fun RP moments to come!

Food was wonderful, I was able to eat a lot! :D
 
This was a great end to our season. I just want to say that I am so impressed with the amount of players we have had in the past year and look forward to a great 2011 season.

* Getting on site, then having to drive a hour back home to get some something.
* Having somewhere like 5 people commenting or asking me if I'm angry.
* Running around with Fern and Novi during the Ambassador mod. We wrecked that fight.
* Taking like six "70 Slay" hits.
* Practically soloing the Ice Forsaken after the barrier went down (I know others fought): taking a death and dodging, getting hit by a mortal wounds thinking in my mind a critical wounds. Getting picked up and gunning strait for her.
* One minute to dieing and like 3 people yelling "D'rezz is dead?!?" and the same 3 healing arts me to be certian
* Fern - "Can I have some" D'rezz interupts - "NO!" Fern looking surprised - "you wont share" D'rezz - "No!"
* D'rezz - "El, we have a problem!" El - "What is it" D'rezz - holds up empty cider glass, El - "You wan't more..." D'rezz - "I'm not asking"
* Forest's Edge ceremony, thanks guys for a great tea time
* D'rezz - "If you value what's important to you, You'll refrain from opening your mouth!" I love being a Dark Elf
* almost ALMOST attacking Fern for asking questions he shouldn't ever ask me, then making it up with free food
* thinking to myself, hmm, my leg hurts, I should take a knee (when the prince walks in) and completely ignoring his presence by looking at inventory I was interested in buying.
* Instigating the waylaying of 3 annoying [badword] dwarves
* Laughing when witnessing adventurers drop

* Seeing the appreciation that Dave and Paul got as Owners.

* Looking like one bad @*& Dark Elf
 
Well, this being my second game, I would have to say my favorite thing was being well rounded after NPCing once and PCing once. If lack of funds persist, I may NPC quite frequently, but am looking forward to developing Markov for games to come anyway. Already drew out a few new costume designs for her that I am stoked to get working on. :) Ah, but as for the "tops" for the banquet event:

- Getting to play an undead after a five-minute introduction to how to NPC. (And being ridiculously loud, later to find that undead don't really moan.)
- Playing Lady Grey's little sister, Claire, and making myself cry in game (because she felt ignored)
- Helping in the Tavern with Ryan, and learning how to deep fry a turkey, among other things.
- Getting a flat before reaching Camp Salie, calling the insurance company after the game, and having everyone, especially Dave, say "you better call me when you are okay, cuz otherwise I'll worry about you and stuff." I feel like family. :)
- Being a hive mind corrupt, and being just as tired as the players, as several of us wheezed calls back and forth.
- Being healed as a corrupt and not dropping for a good time.
- The irony that the tire shop we went to was Walmart, the only thing open, which just happened to be next to the perkins people went to after the game; subsequently eating with peeps.
- having a blast NPCing: getting to be a crazy, dissilusioned woman, a farmer, dead things, a boggle, etc. and not really noticing the cold because I was too caught up in it all.

Thanks for an awesome time everyone! I really look forward to coming back next season. :) go team NPC!
 
Ah as I promised here are some (not room to list them all after all) favorites, in no particular order.

- Seeing my senior staff taking cards and characters and making them their own, they don't always do things the way I would but thats part of the appeal I suppose :)
- Getting to try something new, the banquet went well and will likely be reappearing on non-tournament years.
- Playing the construct corrupt, even with the weaknesses (stupid magic hammers, and shatter spells!) you all adapted well to the different strategies.
- Seeing once again our PC attitude in action, each chapter tends to have it's own flavor, and ours seems to be 'No one left behind!' couldn't knock a PC down without the rest of town getting involved ^.^ I especially loved the go back for El portion, one new comer to town and when the call went out 'Step outside the circle if you arn't coming back to the dangerous rescue mission' only the NPC stone elf and his guard stepped out. (although the unconscious gypsy only gets half credit :funny: )
- The banquet, always nice to see how people deal with issues that can't be resolved by combat.
- Setting the stage for next year, I don't want to give anything away to people who don't know, but some...adjustments will have to be made to our plan.
- Sooooo many rogues, many of my cards got crunched extra fast by you crafty goons.
- New(er?) npcs, you guys did great, we still have some practice to do on staying (and creating) in game characters but overall you all did fantastically!
- Presentation at the banquet - I was touched, thanks so much Jenn and Tim! (Thats right guarnteed to make the favorite list if you give me a midevil weapon)
- D'rezz telling Fern he couldn't have any juice because it was all for him.
 
- Talitha yelling at Hengin. I'd been waiting to do that for half a year! SO GLAD he came back finally. :D (Talitha: "Despite being angry with you... I did miss you." Hengin: "Dat's why you were angry.")
- Unexpected Dave & Paul recognition. That was really touching. :) <3
- Fern: "Talitha, want to feel my sideburns?" *Talitha holds up gloved hands.*
- Something Stephen said as the Prince, although I don't remember the whole sentence, unfortunately. He said something about "past Hope's Reach" which I thought sounded pretty epic, taken out of context.
- Training Harlequin to keep me warm over the last couple events. :P (Waiting outside for some reason. *Harlequin stands closer* *Talitha surprised-look* Harlequin: "... I'm doing the warmth thing.")
- Getting charmed to attack Fern. It was the most reluctant fighting Talitha's ever done.
- Pan Da still berserked in the sanctum. Fern asking her how she felt about several people. Fern: "What about Talitha?" *Talitha innocent-look* Pan Da: ".....I don't know!" Ha.
- Hengin and the Forsaken of Lightning making puns about the Forsaken of Ice.
- Watching El draw the Baron.
- The immediate tension upon the Prince entering the Tavern. Talitha jumped out of her seat when the Corrupt guy walked in.
- The food. All of it was wonderful! Kudos to Ryan, all of the Tavern helpers, and all of the people who contributed sides and desserts. You guys done good. :thumbsup:

I'm sure there was more, but that's what I can thinkof at the moment. :)

I sure hope I get to see you all again before spring comes along! :yes:
