I ache so bad. Gunsharks, way to make a girl's thighs burn!
Best bits:
- The Reaver song - "Kill you / Rape you / Turn your skin into clothes..."
- "O-overwhelming f-f-firepower, sir," and severe PTSD with the Gunsharks et. al.
- Watching Cpn. Crowson run, run with his prize.
- "Well hi there, good evening! Are you all enjoying yourselves?"
- Falling on my face in the mud, screaming. Repeatedly.

This was one of the best events I'v ever been to. Once the whole "twist" happened, the pressure was unrelenting, and the situations just kept coming, and getting worse.
Never has being an unpopular government agent been so much fun.

I had great fun. Highlights for me included Mcskippy's, the race, Reavering up and of course, seeing that my granddaughter had finally found herself a good man to settle down with.
Also, apologies to anyone I may have freaked out.

And a massive thank you to you too! It's been a while since I've played with the Angst card and you & Gayle made it so very much fun. I am also still smirking about being surrounded by some of Pharmalux in a darkened tent and discovering they were "Rifties".
Thanks to everyone really. It's been a while since my last scifi LRP event and you all reminded me why I loved it so much...
To all the people who were keen, to all who organised, cooked, interacted with me, the crew who scared the carp out of me when I was alliance (and ripped me a treat!), Jimi the white reaver for managing to miss my chin with his foot, Dave for being Carver and roleplaying at me even if we were both crew.. and so on.
Hells, it was amazing!! I feel more frothy than a cup of Latte that's all froth. Nomnomnom.  |

I'll paraphrase what I wrote on my LJ here:
"I pretty much universally enjoy LARP events - whether writing, running, crewing, playing or whatever, but genuinely can't remember the last time I had that much fun LARPing.
(...)
Good crew, great plot, cool pyros, excellent site, big guns. Roll on the next one.
Agaaaaain. Agaaaaain."
Thanks so much to everyone for making a bunch of loud-mouthed New Melbourne caterers feel so welcome in your little 'Verse. We all had an absolute riot. |

Thank you to everyone who made the event as awesome as it was.
Hadn't been in the 'verse for a while but damn it felt good to be back (also terrifying with Reavers around the place!!!)
HUGE thank you all.

For the merest of split seconds, I almost had the same sense of foreboding... The worst thing is the amount of time it took me to remember where else I recognised you from...  |

Oh, jeez, OW!
But hey, wanna do it again
Finding myself in a Riftie tent and checking off mentally the mutations people should have had was funny..."demon head, claw, nothing, tentacle..."
And watching your faces when Del showed up as a certain crime lord was absolutely priceless. I wouldn't have traded that for anything
Love y'all so much

As introductions to new systems go, that one weren't half bad!  It was really fun to try something completely different, and it was as good as I'd hoped it would be.
Big thanks to the refs and the crew members who made me feel extremely welcome over the weekend. Now, when did you say the next one was again?

Kinda goes without saying that I had an utterly awesome event. You couldn’t ask for a more heroic death… and the beautiful irony that Prince saved everyone by crashing his ship one last time.
Highlights:
The race, the betting, TJ wigging out over losing his 5k bet…
Coming back from a scout and being just one moment too slow on the uptake… then getting captured like everyone else.
The 101 ways to take down the laser fence, that swiftly became ‘how do we keep it up?!’
Reavers! Endless waves of reavers!
Highly engaging mishmash of cortexing, mechanic work and medical experimentation, with a whole slew of people, both old compadres and new allies.
Two scary expeditions in the dark to the Alliance outpost… with its severed bloody limbs and intestines scattered everywhere…
Recording a farewell to the Gunsharks on Saturday night.
Goodbyes to Grace and the boys at the airlock.
Always turn left!
Big thanks to the refs, especially to Gerwyn (for reffing the trip to the shuttle bay & Prince’s final flight), Andrew (for coming up with a terrifying event) and Jon (for being here, there and everywhere). The crew were exceptional throughout, from bouncy news reporters, through to stoic Alliance goons and tenacious, never-damn-stopping waves of reavers!
Bring on a summer event with a beach 
Signing off,

Were you Medic Mike? (as I now think of you) -- if so, thank you so much! It was my first time LARPing, ever, and I was worried I was laying the trust-issues and the cliches on too thick. But yeah, you were fantastic. |

As a general shout-out to everyone, thank you for all of you making my first LARP experience utterly fantastic. I came in rather daunted but found myself blown away by the RP I was able to get going with players like Shepherd Sam and Medic Mike (sorry, as you can tell by my moniker, I'm Alma Alliterative), and by the phenomenal stuff I saw going on with Prince, Niska, Natalya, Jesus, the list goes on... Also, power-tripping as an Alliance soldier, wearing bloody entrails around my neck, contributing to and filming the Reavers song -- endless highlights!
Hope to see you guys at the social event and/or Event 5.

Wow.
This was such an awesome event!
Also my very first time LRPing, ever, so didn't really know what to expect, but I knew I would have a good time, and I did!! Even if my ankle did get sprained and make me sit out half the event...
Here are my best bits:
=Being corseted and flirty as Cherry the whore.
=McSkippy's!
=Being scary Alliance, with guns.
=Being a scary reaver, and getting COVERED in mud.
=Learning the combat system and practising LOADS on Jimi, trying to get it right ("Lian, you have to make contact when you say double damage!"), and then never managing to actually get within 20 feet of anyone while being a reaver.
=Seeing how cool LRP is and interacting with everyone, esp Prince, Jesus, The Fake Padre, Cap'n Crowson, can't remember other names  .
I enjoyed this so much, and I am totally going again.
Huzzah!
Also, thanks to Jimi for taking me (and letting me eat his babies), and people like Cheryl and James and Hannah and Lizy and Dave and EVERYONE I met for looking after me and making this incredible.
Yay!
