Moot 2: Hot and Not

[wiffly_shwoo]

Hot

• At one point it got a bit 'meh' then someone tried to murder me and things became fun again
• Loos!  With lights!  And water!  And loo roll!  I honestly don't think I found a single loo without loo roll for the entire event. 
• I forgot my felt-tips, but the Mages' Guilt had crayons.  Crayon scrolls turned out quite amusing. 
• Amazing ritual circle dressing.  I did wonder how Simon's "If you like Battlestar Gallactica, you'll love the ritual circle" could possible make sense, until I saw it. 
• Literary criticism.  With contact poison.  And death threats.  Aaw.  It's just nice people care.  (Also faction plot noticed me!)
• The Scouts retrieved my favouritest guild item which got stolen at the GEF.  Athelwyn suddenly became moderately useful in battles. 
• Writing a polite article in The Testament
• Lester playing in the guild.  He couldn't remember many of his own songs and seemed pleasantly surprised to be presented with the songbooks I had compiled.  And he sang the Pillow song. 
• Sylverant writing a bland "we value your feedback" type form letter to the person who poisoned me.  I was laughing so hard I couldn't stand up. 
• Heckling poor Lester.  Well if he *will* play 'Worst Audience'...
• Realising my bow-comp actually runs for three years not two, saving me the need to re-take.
• Andy explaining how the "nom nom nom nom nom nom nom" song obviously referred to warlocks, and therefore "baby monkey riding backwards on a pig" must refer to paladins. (The paladin in obviously the monkey, and the pig the ancestor.  And - no - I'm not going to explain that to any paladin or ancestor-worshipper.  Even my character's not *that* dumb).   
• Looking forward to playing my next character meaning I can do stupid things with my current one and it won't matter of she dies
• Trying to work out whether my LT character does stupider things than my Maelstrom one.  (It's a hard call). 

Not

• Losing my voice just trying to speak outside the beer tent on Thursday
• Losing my voice trying to speak in the guild tent while someone was playing the guitar on Friday
• Losing my voice trying to briefly sanctuary some guy on Saturday
• Realising there's no point in spending OSPs on Transport Rite as it involves solid talking
• Lack of almost anything vegetarian from the stalls.  Every year there seems less choice. 
• Coming home to find London has gone into meltdown

Next:

• Completing the last few bits of kit for my next character
• Trying to find a way to up the ante on the ancestor-trolling front
