Wow, where oh where to start? Lets do this by the day shall we?
Pros -
Friday Night -
- NPC Team, you guys are fantastic. I love to try and get the Friday Night shift because it makes it so much easier to get into game without having to constantly keep an eye on the time. From the moment I walked into NPC camp to the second I was done, everything was perfectly streamlined, and ready to go. I loved having my opinions, even as "just a shiftie" taken into consideration and how things went out. From the Merchants selling weapons and armor to the "Boogeyman", I enjoyed every role I went out on.
- Special moments that I will forever remember.
- Hollander and Brittany discussing the "stats" for the Boogeyman and being told what I could do...I was terrified, and I was the one playing it.
- Angela and her masterful makeup skills, to the point that we had to tell Dad to turn away because it was that good/bad.
- Eating Dreams! I felt bad for a split second when I caught someone in their tent with their light on (You know who you are) #SorryNotSorry
- Looking in the back window of the Guiding Lights cabin, seeing Maxi and Namour. Having them smile and wave "Oh hello there, do not worry Namour, we have a lock" "Fae Walk 1" "OH SH*T RUN"
- The Ants go marching one by one! Oh look, a box, run!
Saturday -
- Becoming a Warden! That was a goal I had been working on since I came to Ralinwood, so it was fun to finally achieve it.
- Missing most of the Mage's mod due to having to arrest people for attacking a Grey Draconian and then finding out they are Berphauntian Soldiers, oh goody.
- GORILLA! Going absolutely APESH*T (Pun intended) on the Orcs in the Mages Mod, having Ralinwood citizens try to barter the sale of the Gorilla for the Orcs to leave, and then just beating my chest in frustration when people didn't understand me. Next step, Gorilla Sign Language
- Hanging out at Emberside with Sevatar and crew. I don't think I stopped laughing for over an hour.
- "Hey Riven, hows Wade?"
- Fae Plot! I am going to write more at the bottom because this one was big.
- Impromptu NPC Shift was a blast, having Ramsay take my idea on someones personal plot and give the big thumbs up made me feel special.
Sunday -
- More NPC impromptu shifts, had a blast as Wakeup Kobolds and as "Ze BEST Merchant vis ZE BEST coif!" I might play an Aja next.
- Being told by Brittany to "PC Up" and coming back into town with the waves was a hoot. Seeing towns reactions like "Ummm is that Lam? Oh no...what do we do? Aaand hes dead...no wait! Hes up!"
- Being suspended from the Wardens because of all the lives lost on the Fae Mod. I count this as a Pro because ITS ROLEPLAY, ROLE WITH IT! (Get it? Come on, that is a pun worthy of Alex...don't judge)
Cons!
- I don't have much to say for cons except this...
ANYONE WHO IS NOW OR WILL EVER BE AN NPC SHIFTIE PLEASE READ!
Shoshana spent a majority of Friday Night trying to reorganize the NPC Gear. Masks, Tabards and all other sorts of costuming all got mixed together and made it real difficult to send out mods in a timely manner. Please PLEASE PLEASE remember this and when you are done with a piece of costume, put it back where you got it from, not just "on a random pile on a table".
Also, I do not know how many times I heard people (Angela and Ivanna mainly) screaming at the entirety of NPC camp to keep it down. PCs are sometimes right outside the door and sounds carry. We don't want to give away something by mistake or cause someone to accidently metagame by hearing something they shouldn't. Please remember to keep your voices to a minimum so that everyone can have an enjoyable time.
Also also, a personal pet peeve and I know sometimes it can be hard to remember, but we are using a military site, there are certain rules and regulations that are expected to be upheld even at events that are not connected with the actual park. Hats on inside the "NPC Camp" is seen as disrespectful and rude. Please try to keep all headgear off when inside.
With all of that, FAE PLOT!
- So I personally LOVED this mod, it had a perfect mix of terror and challenge. Yes, people died, it sucks but that is the point, people die all the time and we need to learn to run with it and work against it happening. Remember, as good as we get, NPCs will get better otherwise there will never be a challenge. If I walk into a mod and know that there is no risk of me dying I lose the thrill of the battle and the game. I expect every fight to be Lam's last. On that note, yes, we were lied to IN GAME. The fae manipulated a group of us with promises of riches and we were ambushed. Again, it happens. Lam just happened to be the voice of that particular mod and if people are wanting to lynch him because of it I will go with it but I will remind people that if I had not been the one to lead the fight, someone else would have. Remember, Lam and Lilith both walked through the gate together. Also, noone is forced to go on ANY mod they do not want to. If you feel that you have lost all love for all mods because of that one, then I feel sorry for you but I will continue to go on any and all mods I can because that is my choice. Also, keep in mind that if we chose to ignore every mod, then NPC camp can go about it as if noone showed up to stop whatever was going on and we might have bigger and badder enemies come to town. So rather then whining because you took a death, or because it was an "unfair fight" just remember that not all fights in life are fair, and THAT is what causes the game to become more real.
Thank you NPC camp, Shapers, and Brittany for such an amazing, funpacked, and challenging weekend. I look forward to what this season holds.
