Hot or not time folks. Very Happy

First off a massive thank you to Leon, Ross, Polly, Chris, Elly, James, and Croyden for running an epic event where we actually managed to make friends and was made of total alien things WIN.

Thanks to all the crew without whom this event could not have happened, and for their super froth levels. Big thanks to those who managed to play an entire Battalion+ for two hours, and the rest of you who suffered courtroom waffling.

Thanks to the other players, it was really fun playing someone different and hanging with all the cool kids talking tech and wild pipe dreams.

so anyways:

HOT - Ice cold gate room for beer storage
NOT - Ice cold gate room waiting for testing

HOT - One eye flying purple people eaters

My turn

HOT: Organizers and Refs for doing a cracking job
NOT: Croyden clearly starting out needing sleep and finishing broken. Dude you are a trooper

HOT: No Cards to solve tech problems
NOT: No able to use my new cards Wink

HOT: HALO Jumping out of a perfectly good spaceship
NOT: The Military Centric feel introduced by Kryton. It sucked when the UKGC became too Intel centered and it Sucks to have the SEF too Military centered.

HOT: So many crew!
HOT: Gary Numan themed aliens. Go Leon!
NOT: Holding the gate open to base for the duration of an offworld mission. IC it makes sense OOC it prevents other missions and players going out.

HOT: Thorne for suggesting we Nick a spaceship and it actually happening!
HOT: The weather was awesome
HOT: Seeing Dave/Daniels back
HOT: New players throwing themselves into the game.
NOT: Failure to understand than almost all missions were two gates away and not one leading to OOC/IC flange to fix it.

Thats enough for now i feel.

First attempt at this so bear with me...

HOT - Being taken out on missions purely on the strength of being a medic regardless of my actual system knowledge.
NOT - Failing to remember to ask for feats. Or ammunition. Curses....

HOT - Sneaking around videotaping a torture session (this is mainly a comment about the wide variety of missions that I was involved with. I would imagine its difficult keeping missions fresh and involving. Equally I was impressed that all the missions where not 'Go here. Shoot this' even though some people might have liked those missions more!!)
NOT - I REALLY should read the combat rules before I turn up to a game. It was not until I sat down that I realised I had no idea if I was hit or not. Oops.

HOT - Running to administer emergency medical aid to a fallen team mate accompanied by a rapidly firing Paddy and Esel (sic?) from Wellesley.
NOT - Finding out that the body we where running towards was in fact a booby trapped ethernaut and having to leg it back again (again being covered by Paddy and Esel)

HOT - Being 'Crash Course' -d in Medium Weapons by Col Thorne while the rest of Team North where crawling through the cave system to avoid the huge rock fall (all to reclaim a tablet)
NOT - Realising that the team had left pretty much all their kit behind but then wanted it meaning Col THorne and I had to pick it up and cart it to them (IC through the tunnels - OOC walking round)

HOT - "Captain Thorne. Can I just check that you successfully pulled off Major Calvin?" (Hilarious end to freeing Calvin from a huge Magnet after reclaiming the tablet)
NOT - "Captain Thorne. Can I just check that you successfully pulled off Major Calvin?" (Nightmares and waking up screaming)

HOT - The mission to hold the communications suite with North and Wellesley
NOT - Having to keep checking that the Home Gate was still occupied every five minutes

HOT - Choking out a harmless woman in order to gain access to the chest that contained a tablet.
NOT - Making the poor lady playing the NPC scream when I appeared ninja like out of the darkness!! (Sorry!!)

I could keep going and going actually...

It was clear to me that there was loads of work put into the event, with kitting, organisation of crew, actually crewing, writing missions, keeping the missions on line wih the main plot.

Very very impressed.

OK, my turn...

Hot - The refs and crew. Sounds hokey but they put in a sterling effort, especially since some of the crew are new to LARP. Really keen with a good attitude (this coming from a somewhat jaded old lag) Nice to hear monsters scream and call out to their colleagues when you shoot them - gives a little moral tweak to the game. Special mention to Leon who put up with no less than three interruptions from me on sunday morning when he obviously had more important things to do and didn't yell, scowl or put a cigarette out on my forehead (which was what I deserved)

Hot - Understanding the plot, fully and completely for the first time at a stargate event (this is no reflection on previous events - they were just as much fun, but I didn't always "get it")

Hot - Pulling off Calvin (need I say more, and I wasn't even there)

Hot - Working with the same team for every mission. Encourages more I/c roleplay and team bonding, we worked better together when we knew one another. Special mention - to Paddy, Thorne and all the others who helped me understand the mystery of the four-point sling system, and put up with me describing everything that shoots bullets as "a gun" (I saw them wincing)

Hot - "Old Bloke" Wink

having more kit than was conceivable, but taking time out to find me araldite when my plastic toy gun went into total meltdown.

Hot - digging in the scat pit (don't ask)

Hot - Realising I had been accepted by my team when, whilst running across the sand covered in flourescent green gloop swinging a sword at a fungus I heard one of them shout "Go on Coops, F**k it up!"

Hot - The ice cave, giant fungus, steam guns, props et al that go to making the suspension of reality that much easier. Grats to everyone concerned with their construction and utilisation.

Not - The inevitable Saturday afternoon lag. All the plot details have been collected and the technical guys are doing their thing. Great for them (its what they're there for) but a little slow for the gung-ho suicidal gun bunnies like me. Perhaps some target practice, combat drills or light PT to keep us amused?

Not - Losing the genny on saturday night. I don't mind blundering about in the dark on a mission, but not back at base. Of course there was nothing the crew could do about it, but perhaps it should be mentioned to the site owner.

Overall, excellent. Well done Leon et al for the event. Looking forward to the christmas gig.

it's what all the cool kids are doing so.............

HOT-Ice cave, it looked great and the casme was an awesome touch and so much fun crawling round the cave system.

HOT-the jelly fish aliens, they were so cool and the props were fantastic
NOT-I can't seem to find a flaw

HOT-Eathanaut pistols, there is something realy satisfying about calling quad damage
NOT-damn those 30 second reloads

HOT-Defending the ethanaut comms device against lots of energetic ethanauts, it was chaos
NOT-Fending for my life against 6 of em while waiting for backup and short on ammo.

HOT-the event overall, thank you everyone from crew, refs, organizers and players
NOT-My poor attempt to survive on nothing but noodles, chocolate and crisps, I'm suffering for it now.

I had a great time.
