Event Review: Come what May

[MinthaDuvaineth]

Man oh man this event was a rollercoaster. I'll start with the cons first so as to end on a positive note:

Cons:

- Town council out in the open field. Perhaps we should hold it in a more shady area in the future
- (Sat night, after the elemental fight) The description of the barrier stopping us from continuing forward caused confusion so people headed back to town, just to be called back again. Not sure what was supposed to happen there.
- Confusion concerning overall goals regarding the tower and other large mods. I assume it was another broken-telephone type situation, but I also feel that there were so many plots going on at once that information got lost in the shuffle

Neutral:

- I feel like I missed out on a lot of things, but then again there was A TON of content on Saturday so well done team


Pros:

- So many new people! Helping build characters and answering questions is so fulfilling
- Helping out in NPC camp. It's really nice that my efforts are appreciated there
- Being raised as a ghoul is scary and both fun as heck. Thumbs up to the NPC who was checking level before performing killing blows
- the creepy dream eater: "I can't hear a word you're saying" *removes face* "IS THIS BETTER?!?"
- Dustin's healing elemental (aka sparkles) and the ensuing fight. So happy to see a friend have her moment to shine
- dominating Squirt the water elemental and helping everyone stay hydrated
- singing "I'm a little teapot" while posing a paralyzed friend
- My Shop! Still very successful and lots of fun. Also Carrion is rad
- Ramsay sharing his cheesecake winnings <3
- Learning that mercs and corsets don't mix
- SHATTERED ELVES!!! Wonderful RP from the NPCs
- Trying to talk a dwarf through solving a puzzle is so damn frustrating. Damn you Dan
- breaking down and ugly crying when realizing I had found something very important to me
- The most challenging RP of my larp career to date. Giving a speech of sorts and then doing 10 minutes of solo RP while my friends watched in silence was nerve wracking but I got through it
- shaking with excitement putting on the blue makeup again
- way too many great PC interactions to list here

Favourite Mod:
Saturday's elemental battle. Holy jeez I thought I was a pro at fighting elementals but I was crapping my pants.
-I kept running into Adam as the fire Lord every single time I returned to the front lines. He was too damn good in that role!
-Justin's multi elemental was great. I loved the mechanic, use of Juggernaut, and the explosive death
- Brent as the Lightening lord
- People literally tripping over each other in retreat because the fight was so damn tough.
- The challenge level of the mod was fantastic
