Weekend report 10-31-08 - 2008/11/04 07:00
Salutations to all IMers and Denizens of the Emerald City (Empire)!
We’ve just returned from visiting our esteemed neighbors to the south, Dragonspine, and celebrating their Coronation/Renn Faire/Maize Maze event with them. A fabulous time was had by all, and we congratulate his Majesty Anatole and Highness Darian (Dougie!!) on their ascension, and wish them a happy and highly successful reign!
Friday eve Maize Maze games unfortunately concluded before we were able to arrive; however, after spending Saturday at Renn Faire assisting with recruiting and fighting/teaching with many hopefully future Dragonspiners, we relocated back to the Maze. Coronation Feast was excellent - very warm and filling as the night’s chill crept in. The stepping down court of Her Majesty Emer and Regent Annabellee was well-paced and engaging, and the end of a successful reign for them. King Anatole and Regent Darian kept their stepping up short and sweet, and soon after we were in the Maze hunting Wizardy body parts for the first battlegame of the evening.
For those who don’t know much about the event, the Maze is a fantastic place to play at night, and much fun was had by the players! The moon was barely more than a sliver, and it was dark!! If you ever do have the chance to go down and play with them in the Maze, I highly recommend the experience.
The first game had 5(?) teams of 10 players – one Magic user with a mix of goblins and orcs – along with one half-team (we only had 6 on our team as we gathered up stragglers to take on the others) all seeking to acquire as many Magical body parts as we could in a limited time. Quick death counts for the players kept the game moving nicely and a frame tower in the middle of the maze naturally drew the teams to it as the game drew to a close.
A brief break and the second game featured most of the players breaking into 2 teams and spending a large amount of the game hunting each other, as well as avoiding the Dragon of the Maze. Fortunately for them, the Dragon, while incredibly fierce and resistant to their weaponry, was rather slow and encumbered in the limited space of the Maze. All in all, a very fine time and I enjoyed this visit immensely. It was great to see folks I had seen as recently as our Mid-reign, and as far in the distant past as 10 or more years ago.. as well as making some new friends we shall hope to meet up with again in the future.
To catch up a little while I’m here, the week prior, we had gone down to Crimson Dawn to play a bit of Munchkin Ball and consult with the folks there in need of some assistance. Unfortunately, attendance was a bit low, but those of us who were there ran and fought and sweated most satisfactorily! We look anxiously ahead to see how the Emergency Althing and upcoming elections process will work out for them, and stand ready to assist if needed.
Coming up next weekend, I will be traveling to Olympus Principality for their Principality Mid-reign/WeaponMaster/DragonMaster event up in Starmount (Minn). At the same time, Prince Medryn will be visiting South Gate again for their baronial Mid-reign celebration on Sunday. Anyone who has the time and can make it is encouraged to do so, but otherwise no special events are planned for any of the other core parks that day, and we hope that all remains peaceful and productive on the home front while we’re away.
In 3 weeks, we are holding Imperial Crown Quals (Nov 22nd). Quals will be in North Denver (Firestone) - with A&S at Jetara’s and Camilla’s house, and fighting at the Park very nearby – and we hope to see as many of you as we can out for that day. A full announcement for that gathering will be forthcoming very soon..
Please remember that declarations are also due soon! If you’re thinking of running, make sure to send those to Imperial PM Cullum (if you haven’t already) and we hope to see some folks ready to step up and take the reins for the next term!
Enjoy the beautiful weather and we’ll see you all soon!
Take care out there,
