Event Review - Down Came the Reign

[Andrei Katrares]

I won't comment on mods and plot because as you can see above, I was a sweaty, cramping, fat, delirious piece of shit all weekend and in no position to take in and enjoy the artistry of what happened. And there was artistry, combat mods at Ralinwood are always exceptional (coming from someone who has to write many of them and knows first hand that it is not easy like players think).

You area great player, Constantine. You don't have to be so self deprecating. Sometimes the mods don't make it onto the field the way they looked in our heads. (In fact, of all players, I feel like you know how that goes!) We have good mods and bad mods, and I can own that. It's just fine to feel like you're a good player and you met a bad mod; we'll do our best to learn from it.

When every/most player(s) doesn't/don't get something, usually there is a communication breakdown somewhere.

When 1 player doesn't get something, its super improbable that the fault lies with anyone but that player. I was that player this weekend.

I'm serious when I say I was halfway to crazytown on Saturday night - ask anyone else who was around me. I went on every(?) combat mod this weekend as NPC or PC. And they were all really good. I just stopped being able to parse what was happening around me eventually, and went into instinct-fight-time mode. Which was kind of awesome, actually, and totally my choice 110%. And I would choose it again.

I swear a lot as a habit, don't think I'm being unnecessarily hard on myself - its just how I speak.

Also Jeff reminds me, all the high fives and thumbs up to Ivanna. The tavern was amazing forever.
