Gathering 2010
OK - so it's over a week ago now and I've probably forgotten a tonne of stuff, but here are my impressions in traditional style:
Hot
+ The Vipers - what a faction of utter, utter jerks. Love you all. :)
+ The Viper Command Team. Thanks Luggage, Chris and Rob.
+ The plot team. Everyone put in a serious amount of work to make everything happen and, from what I saw, it all went out pretty well
+ Jenny and Bethan being there
+ The gypsies - fantastic group to roleplay with. Helps keep me sane and my keen levels tip top.
+ Ittimin finally agreeing to come to Florence. Must now write a story.
+ Muster invasions from the littlest Tepes.
+ Blitzkreig and gypsy tat.
+ The newly (accidentally) designed uber-lounger - it was very comfortable if a little difficult to get out of.
+ Tea in the Jugga Club on Friday night
+ The Secret Squirrel crew
+ Dan/Noxious. Just brilliant at getting everyone together and pulling in the same direction (roughly) in fights.
+ The honour fight with the Lions. Was really cool to do and everything went really well with no killing or shopping going on. The fight itself could have gone both ways and was actually pretty close until our skirmishers managed to get round the back. Proves we can do PvP on a large scale without killing anyone - the new RoP had nothing to do with that either.
+ Viper ritualists/rituals. Keeping up the traditions.
+ The TikiTiki ritual. I know those guys hadn't done a ritual for a good long while but clearly hadn't lost their mojo. It was a perfect example of comedic timing at its very best. Awesome.
+ The ensuing chaos afterwards with Whispers and Stavros looking at each other wondering what the hell was going on and why the entire world had gone mad. :)
+ Declaring war on the Harts - good RP shall follow
+ A billion other things that I've probably forgotten about.
Not
- New Ritual of Peace. Think it added nothing at all and just really pissed off a lot of players. If anything it actually caused more deaths as people had to up their game to kill people.
- Killing of the Harts Command. That wasn't exactly in the plan.
- Rain on the Thursday
- Death plague following the Gathering.
- Now not being able to go to Oaths Night. Well, I suppose I could but I'm not sure I'd last very long. ;)
Sure there's lots of other things that I've missed.
