A very good event. I'd been looking forward to it for ages, and it was all I'd hoped for and more. I've not had the best time of it recently, and it felt like the end of that period, and the opportunity to just have an amazing time with people it's always a glorious privilege to hang about with. Here's a hot-or-not list:
Overflowing rage of Sekhmet:
-'Oh Baby baby/the reason I kill is you...'
-Surprising Frog!
-Getting to do some full-on proper vengeance, and how the situation was handled by the faction and all concerned.
-Rich Garner's four-star breakfast service every day.
-Ritual with Bonerot being very good and very fun indeed.
-Harmonised drunken leg-removal rites.
-Being a kick-ass honour guard for the Pharoah.
-Anya revealing her true nature as a glitch in the Matrix.
-Pomegranite and ginger beer.
-Tikki Tribesmen and the adventures of the White Devil.
-Camel Riders and signing contracts late at night.
-Metiata's letter to the Ebony-skinned temptress.
-Sekhmates being the heart of the Jackals' shield wall.
-Wiping the floor with all who stood before us in the final battle.
-Some of the funnier chaos effects. 'Play as if you were a fish' was an interesting command to fulfil.
-the new layout of the marketplace. I don't know if that's been there in previous events, but it's the first time I've seen it. I liked having the guilds and the ritual circle over by the lake.
-Sekhmates. The group as a whole works really well.
-Jugger on the battlefield.
-Ice-cream runs on the battlefield.
-'BASTEDS!'
-A hypothermic drunk man transformed into an avenging bat by the simple addition of a cloak.
-'Pretend there is a bat!'
-'Too soon! Too soon!'
-Overflowing cat-litter tray:
-No more Sheikh.
-Golden City taking such a big hit, so much rivalry left unsaid.
-err... bit drizzly on the sunday morning?
-Some of the chaos effects being a leetle excessive. Swings and roundabouts, though.
