hot : Quality of props
not: talk through missions as opposed to talky missions, didn't like ref'ing them, didn't like playing them.
hot: sand dune mission
not: some of the crew not knowing the rules system
hot: quality of plot
not: players not knowing the system rules. (more of us should be dead...)
hot: angsty roleplay
not: players dropping ooc in the middle of the IC area and talking about a different larp system.
hot: an energetic and hard working crew
not: I dont tend to ignore plot anyway and had an amazing time, but I get the impression that some of the quieter players dont tend to get included as much.
hot: nigel providing the gennie
not: I think more of the site could have been used
hot: a good all round balanced use of most of the skills in the game.
Overall I would rate the event. my first as a player as very hot though.

Not - Not really a not but the gentlest of hints. Fuel for the w/e works out at less than a pound each if everyone chips in. A few people contributed a lot more than that this time.
Not - New crew not always remembering the hand in the air (forgivable) it was great to have you.
Not - Raids on tents. Less forgiveable, it should have been common sense but I trust it won't happen again.
Not - Smashing the new trailer jockey wheel on a speed bump.
Not - Losing established characters,
Not - Sand in everything. How come there's still sand at Candleston? The whole damn site poured out of my trailer when I opened it!

It's taken me a while to write this, mainly because I've been forced to recognise the difference between a good event for me personally and a good event in kind of absolute terms.
That's made me think about what is appropriate for me to raise here, and what isn't. For example, I think "Hot: The props were awesome, particularly Billy the Worm" is, but "Not: People were acting in a way I didn't like" isn't. I only say that because I know the people who put huge amounts of effort into these events take Hot or Not very, very seriously. So I've decided to theme my replies to Event/IC/OOC. Si, you should ignore anything other than the Event heading .
Anyway, if anyone is still reading, the results of the minority Bristol jury are as follows:
Event
Hot: The propping. First class, and added a degree of interaction we haven't seen since "babies in green jelly".
Not: The fragmented arrival from the Deimos. Probably a great idea, but made the cat herding of being in command even harder than usual.
Hot: The crewing. It was fantastic to have so many enthusiastic crew keeping proceedings lively. Thank you all.
Not: Yeah, I'm out of not for events.
Hot: The brilliantly responsive reffing. You guys rock.
Not: See above.
Hot: The general pace of the event.
Not: ...
Hot: The cooperative spirit between ref team, crew and players. Well done Si on fostering such a positive environment.
IC
Hot: Getting possessed by a symbiote. Loads of fun.
Not: Having the same five people cover guard duty over and over.
Hot: Getting to role play a goa'uld, particularly when being "interrogated" by the so called good guys.
Not: Feeling railroaded by "effects" of previous events.
Hot: The heroics and brilliant brainwork of many characters, particularly Jess and Sophie.
OOC
Hot: Seeing so much good role play, particularly by new players.
Not: Being out of it for much of the event due to my own stupid IC actions.
Hot: Keogh's character. Who would have thought he could actually role play?
Not: Having major events take place completely outside player control (The Brig's mysterious "disappearance/MIA" specifcally).
Hot: Ross being elected System Ref.
Not: nope, that's it.
Hot: Name me famous. A classic instance, in particular Si's "persona" as chairman, Broz's refusal to answer anything other than "Verity" and Debs' Madame.
That's about it. Can't wait for the next one.
Leon.

Sorry for the delay but here is the result from the Nottingham Jury...
Hot -
CSI Arana - lying on my side for over an hour on an early Saturday afternoon scooping out skeletons with my hands and finding bits of liver. Brilliant.
Much extreme RP for Livvie over the weekend.
Flash and Calvin having fisticuffs
Doing the classic Daniel Jackson 'we are the Tauri' drawing the earth symbol in the ground thing. Been dying to do that for years.
Olivia's first kill, done with tactics.
Being on the dunes again.
Being on the dunes again but being told NOT to run to the top!
Having severe 'de ja voux' with Flash hearing voices, hang on...
"Livvie can you look down and check I've still got a cock.."
Kidnapped British Solder plot - brilliant, I hope we get to solve that one.
Being an ashrak for five whole minutes..
Nearly getting Sophie with a symbiote burp
"Bob, you're boring, nobody likes you anymore.."
Polly being very grand with robes and everything
Team Doozer, er DIRT running around all weekend
Dom literally going the extra miles (2.5) to gather seaweed for Potassium Iodide.
Getting to use Operation Lamprey in game
Getting to hug Modeski
Getting to hug Flash (lots)
Being 'Mistress' Debs in Name Me Famous, but honestly, why do I get the late shift?
Seeing Dave. Totally, totally brilliant.
Not
Badly identified combat calls (or none at all!) shoutiing 'triple' into the trees just wastes ammo
People not knowing the combat system (there is a one second rule remember?)
A 'MANDOWN' call being done very badly, ie not being called loudly or quickly enough.
Flash's death.
Having to finish the game early
Sand getting into my camera and totally screwing it, then discovering a new one is over £200...
Too many OC conversations in IC areas, seriously, take it outside.
A great event, sad we didn't solve everything but there was an excellent mix of plots there.
I've booked my leave for September, woot!
