Favorite Moments, April 2014

[Gus]

Hey folks, it's that time: favorite moments of last game! Be it your top ten, funny lines, or cool things that happened, let's hear it!

[Gus]

I'll start, then!

-Spamwich's! Mmmmmmmmmgood

-the Father looks at me, looks at Mason, looks back to me, "is it that bad?"

-the look of surprise and dismay on a Tumor (from Amertume, the folks who breath poison) as Gus took two pistol rounds to the chest and didn't fall, the third shot was a misfire!

-TJ coming up with theme songs for people with way too many syllables in them.

-all the amazing people who helped Gus when he needed it

[Aaron]

-The nuclear reactor and all of the math involved. There was math and science and some slightly worrisomely distorted physics that is not going to come back to bite us. Also we turned on a nuclear reactor and no one exploded and we didn't even come close to a melt down. It's like Zoey's math was super amazingly perfect or something (It was).

-Everyone who attempted to explain romance, love, and pick-up lines to Max. He eventually did manage to learn that, "Did it hurt? When you fell from heaven?" is a pick-up line, though he's not sure what it means exactly and why it would let you carry someone, and that you don't say it to demons.

-Whisper Hill After Hours people. There are at least 5 or 6 amazing quotes from that, but I remember none of them because of how late it was.

-The trapped house. That was absolutely terrifying. At any moment everything could blow up sky high. I am so glad we had some extremely advanced folks with us, or else, well, boom.

-Being informed post game that we are all irradiated.

[Nick Sleet]

-Going through the trapped house and using it as an educational venue on the art of trap removal. Then getting blown up a bunch by said traps.

-The mod with the nuclear reactor with the exoskeleton. So cool!

- Sneaking up behind a sniper in the final battle and unloading a full submachine gun into his back. Sneak attack for the win!

- The lights flickering and dying on Friday and finding a sparking axe in the generator.

- Finding out the mating habits of the moths, and thus understanding the visceral horror.

- Reading the shiny detailed research results before game.

- Going up to the belltower and plotting and scheming in the pitch darkness.

- Setting up the sniper's nest in the belltower.

[Sally]

-Retrieving the Whisper Hill high girls from the haunted house. Walking into that place, lights strobing and unspeakable horror reigning while that poor girl shrieked for bloody murder was amazing.

-The Demon Hunting Jamboree; the hellish horde all around us, and the CIFA types all doing What They Do Best. It started with Fr. Francis invoking the Archangel Michael, for math's sake! And by the same token, Rev. Thompson's sermon-into-fistbumpathon never disappoints!

-Getting not one, but TWO extensive heart-to-heart talks on the front porch. You know who you are!

-Waking up to a puppet show- "Your puny mammalian brains!"

-Dr. Hobblebush standing alone against the Butcher, ready to serve as a our Hail Mary Mother Grace bait. (big shock, I know, Sally being overjoyed to encounter the Butcher a few more times)

-Hartigan's "Ready to do something stupid?" quip as we stood behind a tree with snipers approaching.

-Attempting to explain romance to Maxwell! And then hunkering down in frozen exhaustion with the AAA After Hours team upon returning from the Radiation Run.

-Playing charades with a dozen different people after Sally got SILENCED by the Butcher.

-Watching Gus and Mason play Field Marshals during the last Butcher go-round and then during the Defence of the AAA against the Tumors. LOVED having everyone together going buckwild! When I saw Vasily and Gil hunkered down and just reloaded weapons from the stockpile of collected ammo, all while Nick had set people up in the Bell Tower to cover our ass, and Fiona perched on the mound about flankers, I knew we were on to something good.

-Getting Binge Drunk, just in time for Those Goddamn Moths to return.

SO MUCH AWESOME at every turn!

[PoeticJustice]

-Closing the Portal. With the Mages and the Relic weilders in back with all of their Ambient affects and the Hunters up front unloading on and beating back waves and waves of Hellspawn was Epic. When I made a character involved with CCIFA, this was literally the exact sort of mod I dreamed of. It did not disappoint.

-Being second into the Haunted House mod and flinging Exorcism Rites over Leo's shoulder, followed by the complete horror afterwards once we realized that, despite having a four exorcists standing in a circle, not a single one of us had the Rite of Containment.

-Dealing with the Damaged who went nuclear in the middle of the Diner. (And by Dealing with, I mean "almost getting killed by".)

-Getting talked off a Ledge by one of the last people I would have expected. (Sorry for putting you on the spot.)

-"If your hand shakes, do you want me to finish it for you?"

-Charging one of the snipers with Sally, him throwing cover fire Agonies from a gun while I'm pummeling the sniper with my baseball bat.

-"As your friend, your night is even worse than you realize." "I'm not sure that's possible." "Trust me. It is." (It was.)

-The coming together of everyone for the Sunday Morning Fight. Watching people cover each other and fill gaps and grab people. I walked into that fight with far too little in the tank, but it was so much fun regardless. Also whoever handed me a water bottle. Thank you so much.

I had a fantastic time at game and I am already looking forward to the next one! There were a lot of great moments at the game but here are a few scenes and shout outs for this great event.

-The power plant mod was sooooooo good, Mech-a Lou was not something I thought I would see or do. Sorry to the folks left behind and sorry to the staff for trashing their bot, it was all so awesome.

-Watching the faces of the players and staff that saw me as Lou doing mundane labor at the event. The novelty of having a janitor clean the dinner and clear snow off the apartment stairs was great.

-The haunted house mod... I like that mod for all the wrong reasons. Jacob and a few other understand. Seeing other folks mention it in a positive light only makes me laugh harder.

-Rhyan H as Harry dragging me along to help his boss with things out in the woods. Funny stuff every time.

-Sam F as Ness and not freezing to death

-Heather N as Dallas, Mike P as Tobias, Matt P as science man, David B as Billy and Mike G as Vasily were the crew of the year! You guys were great!

-Some how getting into weird Fae stuff with some cool people I will not name. It was rewarding breaking out of my comfort zone and meeting new players and going out to do stuff with you folks!

-A shout out to the blue collar homies! I'm glad I'm not the only dude who decided to play one, seeing you all were great. Special shout out to Mr. Krenshaw, You're pretty awesome dude.

-Pretty much any scene that had Jeff F as Gus or the dude that played Sallie was made at least 110% better, just watching you to get to work is great.

-The nice folks who roomed with us at the apartments, thanks for sharing the food and space!

Over all the event was awesome! Thank you everyone especially the staff!

So many wonderful choices...

"You come out and attack Yakuza when I say, Do Prdele!"
"Do purdellah, um okay, what does that mean?"
"It is... it means... it is hard to translate."
(who put Ondrej in charge of an attack)

"Look out! One is coming around he back." I take a bead on the charging Tumor - 6 damage - he falls with one shot. "What is it we should worry on?" (huge thanks to the npc for allowing me to look like a rock star)

Standing in the stabilized pile with Mason while the butcher attacks other people, then hearing BMV 2 damage and whispering "Oh shit" and Mason quietly says, "yeah." Luckily, the others figured it out in time.

Identifying various twitchy people after a moth attack and saying, "You, sir, need a beer."

Getting gut shot in the wrong place, dying, and then being cured by my new business partner. "Okay, who owes who?"

"So, now the Boss wants to meet with you and you alone."
"Can I take anyone?"
"He was very specific." Lefty moves away.
"Alice, if I no come back in 5 minutes, you know what to do..." (Then when I do return, she and others have already begun mobilizing a rescue...)

Mister Saturday... ...just everything about that.

"So, if this place is Storybrook,, who is Rumpelstilskin?" (I lift up my cane, point to my bad knee and straighten my suit) "Okay, Mr. Gold, at least..."

So much fun -so many great moments. Thanks all

I loved the fission reactor puzzle / math. I saw the notebook and completely stole it. I. got. to. math...and it was wonderful! I created my own formulas in order to dictate the relationship of Fissionable Material remaining to retirement dates rods and the reduction of expected contamination versus monthly accural preceeding control rod adandonment. The plug into formulas given and do shortcuts x, y, z...turn this dial thingy... and tada! Energies!

(Diagnose stable by medicine) -No effect- *blink blink* "Ahhh, you are one of those dead guys. Lemmie get my staple gun for you." - "I'm not dead." - "Sorry...metabolically challenged then."

I got more people to sign up for my L7's!!!!!

"When I turn full demon, I won't have a heart to listen to." ... "Challenge accepted."

Sally being a wonderful goof and my #1 fan. (it feels nice to be wanted)

Getting to boast to everyone that I had a fantastic security guard...and they should get one to.

Teasing the NPC's about thier flannel shirts. and thus, flannels-r-us is a real store and they were having a sale!

[HecateSkivvy]

Fae: "Let's have some fun!"
Me: "Define fun."
Fae: "Oh, you know, Fun! What do you do for fun?"
Me: "Uhhh.... I enjoy reading books, playing checkers, and I'm an avid scrapbooker!"
Fae: "What?"
Gus: "Scrapbooking? Do you Really enjoy scrapbooking?"

Attempting to speak to the butcher, and in an epic moment getting my sanity dumped. I have a plan for next time.

Book Club.

That other thing that happened.

to spirit. to spirit. to spirit. to spirit.

Nopetraining across the Diner with that one guy.

Leslie's ever-occuring social fopahs with Beatrice.

Did I mention Book Club?
