A place to share all our awesome memories and moments from game!

Lots of highs and lows but here are some of my highs!

Almost being right about the simulation

The great orc supply hut robbery, followed by skinning cory in the dark

Movie night!

Torturing friends in the dark

Meat party

Just before the last battle and how ready everyone was to crush some ORC heads!

AthenaZ Oct '15

Deciding if Dahlia was willing to slaughter me, this is either a simulation, or I would rather be dead anyway. I choose Death by Favorite Cousin.

Rook's Gun aka the only baby Vienne ever wants to hold. "Alex Brune line of voice Death" probably the only way I will come out alive in a 1v1 with Alex.

The Supply Drop run. Step 1 of 2 times this event I blew all my abilities, blood and attributes in one battle and it felt good to finally see ORCs die.

The heist that went oh so wrong. I cant help running in the dark when Cory rushes out of a building shouting Maim.

Final Battle:Ability burn 2. It was so Epic and Rowan's sacrifice was so amazing.

Welcome back to Space! Check out this burning crater back on your planet. Did you know those people?

So many ups and downs.

    Space shake weight, even though I forgot and never ended up using it.
    Crawling through the goop to get out of the simulation.
    Cipher tags with Maka.
    Building real circuits with Kyle's Brotherhood NPC. That was an awesome mod.
    Vienne's drunk officiating of the wedding, shiv cake, all of the gifts (the space scarf, the sex helmets, Izzy's salt cup).
    Working together with another Tinker, a Crafter, a Chemist, and getting supplies from the whole town to build the EMP bombs, which helped us kill Patience. Everyone cooperated so amazingly and I was so proud!
    Interrogation scene with Altec. One of my favorite rp scenes of all time. Mad RP props to Caroline, Alex, and Brendan.
    The final battle, obviously. What a bloodbath, what a bittersweet victory.

Also: fifteen minutes of disguised distraction rp pass, looking through the junkyard for "spare tires" O.R.C: "Ah, you know what, let's close the trunk, I don't want the battery to run low. At some point some players are going to come by to try to steal this console from us, but we can just open it when they show up." pause Ryder: "Uh, Clarify: we are those players."

Oh geez. So many to go over. - SpaceCorp makeup/costuming. I was so glad for the reactions it caused. - NOPE'ing out of the sim, and the confusion that followed. - Beacon T.R.a.S.H.corp! So happy for the way that ended up. - Prison riot! - Making digital electronics with Brother Cassius, and blowing up ORCs with them later. - Figuring out one PLU from another! Gotcha questions for the win. - RETURN OF THE CANNIBALS. I WARNED YOU ABOUT CANNIBAL RECRUITMENT, BRO. I TOLD YOU DOGG. - Movie night! It was really fun, too. Until, well. Yeah. - Shooting the mantis and getting its claw to make a sword out of. - The well-deserved deaths of Patience Manning and Randall Simms. Two people responsible for so much atrocities, finally taken care of. Good times. - SPACE! MORE SPACE!

        Staff dealing with technical difficulties pre-movie night.
        Staff sends out mutant crunchy mutant waves to keep people entertained.
        Technical stuff fixed!
        I fly out of staff center with the big gun and pistol.
        roll up behind mutants
        unload pistol for the first time in two events
        walk into the player ranks
        turn around and finish off crunchies
        new wave shows up
        kill all of them but one
        watch players swarm it
        Good job sterling but I have more medals than you

TalKeaton Oct '15

    Sneaky Pre-Game Mod with Running Man. Seriously, huge props to everyone who NPC'd that, and to Tim Jones. We had so much fun trying not to get caught!

    Ryder: "Dimitri, what would the average be?"
    Dimitri the AI: "Processing... 'Average' is approximately 50%."
    (YEAH GREAT THANKS)

    Three words: Trust? ...Kill Everyone. Ryder was very happy that he got a few people out of the sim with that.

    Ryder and Tava getting spooked on the trails by Boldisarre using a scary voice. I almost Criticaled him before he told us it was him.

    The fistfight with Rowan and finally airing out all the stuff Ryder's been bottling up for the last year. There was a lot said there, and Ryder's glad that ORC (and, um... Two-Steps) didn't overhear all of it.

    Dealing with Tim Jones ORC (I can't remember the officer's name, sorry). We took a risk and failed. We got a situation where the entire town had to deal with killing someone who was, at least in some regards, trying to help us. It sparked a lot of thought and conversation, which is never bad.

    Being there for Nighttime Legion Stuff. It was a really satisfying fight, at least on my end; I thought everyone on both player and staff side put up a hell of a fight, and a fantastic scene in the aftermath.

    Randall's disruption of Movie Night, and realizing 374 might be in danger if we didn't act fast

    Long, good talks with Ivan and Dezba.

    Guiseppe to 374: "Don't you have a creator?"
    374: "Not anymore"

    374 after taking people to the Space Station: "All your friends are dead. ...I am only kidding, they are in space now."

LuciasJordan Keefe Oct '15

So many things.

-Friday night Sim plot and raging on everyone inside the sim.

-TekAldebrandi Wedding with drunk ceremony and shiv cake and all.

-Putting prisoners back in their place with Jerec.

-Tim Jones ORC hunt. Sorry bro, had to go.

-Sunday morning foraging with Natasha and Harper. "Area of Effect Fear Disengage by Bees"

-Fighting to save the town and push the EMP, shield gets sundered (but I fixed it later), Lucias does some nerve dust, rages on the ORCs, takes a few out before getting hit with an Electric Critical (which I remembered I could've resisted but said fuck it anyways) I missed the whole remainder of the fight but didn't die.

-Going to space and seeing Tim Jones dressed as "Pretty pompass movie actor" whose name I can't remember. Tim - "Are you here to audition for Space Drunk 6?" Me - "Uh... sure? Yea fine I guess." Tim - "How familiar are you with the Space Drunk series?" Me - "I'm not..." Tim - "Get out of my face."

-Gioto lands from space. THE FEELZ. Real tears were shed. Almost killed Tim's character on the spot just for being the messenger. Altec almost did it too.

MeggersHNatasha Oct '15 1

So many things, so many feelings!

    NOT resurrecting a god. Sometimes failure is more telling than success.
    Finally being in a place with Natasha where she will make decisions, say fuck the consequences and see things royally fall to pieces.
    One example: Encouraging everyone to murder Tim's ORC in cold blood over the tunnel, then see him get away.
    Another: Participating in the Vartok rehabilitation mod, and being told the effects afterwards by Alex. Thinking I could handle all of it until he told me I was at zero core mind and will, and the only way to restore it was to talk to an NPC therapist or... Heinrick Metzger?
    Being about to speak to Metzger when two ORC officers showed up to escort Natasha to the warden, and having to make a literal life or death decision on zero core mind
    Also the pineapple. Fuck you Dave.
    Screaming and crying and waving my pineapple like a crazy person at Bill so that he would fix Natasha's PTSD.
    "Area of effect, fear by bees!"
    Finding out that the fence was down and realizing that Natasha had caused a lifetime of suffering for herself.... for nothing. Not even having the room to grieve for Rowan because the feelings of failure were so intense.
    Learning soon after that about what had happened to the Aldebrandi and the sinking suspicion that...well... lots of things.
    Overall becoming the most broken and angry version of Natasha I have seen so far, and I am so excited to finish this with her.

veekoJohnny 'Riot' ScutusJohnny "Riot" Scutus Oct '15

Nancy Riot... Correct! (Shout out to Balde, Blanket, Natasha, and Dee. You guys made Drone plot so much more fun)

Santos and his pile of shit

Yuri / Ivan Corp idea. Sounds great and I loved getting you guys to talk about the whys, how's, and backup plans.

"We're in a SIM!" (Baaaaaaarns!!!) and GOOP!

Riot Killing Blow 3 Cory: No Effect Barns and Riot: Oh Fu-

Seeing the Legion flag flying at halfstaff at Game Off

Harper Waylaying Riot just as he's about to get in Sterling's face about losing a "friend" (this just an hour after Legion was fried and disbanded at the wall)

VoodooSpecterGribbit Oct '15

Don Vedere to Barbalarb: "Can I have your autograph?" Barbalarb: "Uh oh. Diagnose mental freezer burn?"

Natasha trying to save her shoes from the coolant.

"SUNDER HAT" that's what it feels like, barbalarb when someone takes a hat from you that you love.

Seeing cory walking around with the aldebrandi with his hand on his head in a suit. Having a conversation with them. Realizing that that means they're talking to thin air. Uh oh.

"Some family good no dirt!" "Did she say know dirt? You think gardening? Do they have a hydroponics garden?" "No she said 'go dark', she means sneaking! Like they're in a guerrilla war vs. the spiders!" "Maybe she means 'no dirt' like they clean the facility or something? That'd be a weird specialization."

Everything that James' potato farmer knight ever did ever. We need to put his picture on resistance posters.

"All your friends are dead!"

long talk with ortega about space.

High Tech glitches

the wedding and the space drank

"Well it looks like I'm a dad now." "That doesn't look like it could possibly be yours." "It's a long story."

Getting to wear my fundertaker mask with my new power armor helmet and the Sworn bandana. Badass as hell!

All the feels when rowan died. Those were the realest feels I've had at second dawn since the rad storms, and the intensity was of course higher cause she was a dear friend.

THE HEIST I thought I was so screwed when chester maimed a leg and a hand and paralyzed me! But someone knocked me out, and two medics brought me back up. We took all the back trails through the woods to avoid detection. I was very sad that poor Chester died.

DaveGame Director Oct '15 1

Clarify: most of you haven't seen pineapples before. stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye

Rowan Oct '15

One of the Legion Penn brought one for our first legion breakfast - he called it a mutant acorn smile

MeggersHNatasha Oct '15

The pineapples are the key to everything!!!!!

IzzyBrit Oct '15

-That Torture Scene.

-Lt. Chester. Smarmy Git.

-Having to try to not get Ripley killed... again...

-Actually getting to loot a body before someone else swooped in and getting a fuel cell!

-Forcing Monica to wear a pretty dress to her wedding.

PraseodymiumBaldassarre Giotto Oct '15

OKAY in chronological order:

The computer telling me that Vedere could only be warmed up about 60%, then realizing we had to bust it the fuck open or he'd die Pieces falling off of Vedere as we tried to move him, with Cory screaming half frozen nonsense the whole time while I desperately rub that fucking goob all over him and natasha tries to unfreeze him. Contemplating shoving the goob into his brain when he said "168 levels of mental Freezerburn" AFTER ALL THIS: The computer says "I predicted this outcome. Do the officers want to download Don Vedere's Backup File?"

Our little secret base way in the freaking back woods

Two steps killing himself on Rider's sayso.

Waking up to see Vedere strolling towards me across the field, then starting a prison riot basically because he bestowed me a piercing to somebody's back, then struggling to justify it later when the truth is I was looking for a reason to cut loose at that point.

Sunder Hat!!!! I had to get that repaired by a crafter!!! You bastard!

Drones!!! So many Drones! I think I led back at least 7 to the secret place, and I am so sneaky now! Really fun plot.

Distracting the orcs while pretending to be an orc - that was just as amazing as I imagined it. Really enjoyed hamming that up.

Movie night and murdering Patience. I especially liked the smug look on Caroline's face like she was making note of everyone involved to have them boiled.

Going after the tools we need to save frankie and the absurdly botched spider mod! I was not so good at sneaking that time (Especially when I flipped the bench over running from the spider). My favorite part: Staying still and distracting the spider so that Gribbit could line up a shot, forgetting that I'M the one with sharpshooter until it was way too late and I'm already tied up. FUUUUUUUUUCK.

Riot stepping on every single bubble wrap on the way out.

Charging with the box! I had one arm almost the whole time, I could only shoot when the box was stuck, but I did manage to paralyze the missile launcher!

I also loved the way that the AT guy bit was resolved. It was over so quickly, and then evil plu says "CUT HIM INTO PIECES" and then on goes the chainsaw.

The glee with which Ryan used his chainsaw was fun just to behold.

Alan making Henry eat that damn rat meat OMFG the entire fight just ground to a screeching halt. Combat cook FTW.

veekoJohnny 'Riot' ScutusJohnny "Riot" Scutus Oct '15

I have to agree with "Sunder Hat" / "Fuck Yo Hat" prison rioter.

That guy from VC is awesome.

VoodooSpecterGribbit Oct '15

That rat meat! Especially knowing how much Henry dislikes silly stuff it was hilarious to witness his reaction to that meat! I am pretty sure the all within the sound of my voice cleave had something to do with that.

I remember being in that spider mod and it's wrapping up his arms and legs and I'm like really carefully aiming the shot thinking like if I miss, this is gonna suck and once I shoot it's coming after me. And then I realize if I don't hurry up barbalarb is gonna be all tied up and unable to help me. And then I panicked and shot and all hell broke loose and I was running across benches and yelling for the others to come help. Bweeee-ooooooo stealth mod fail for the players! Better luck next time! But it was so much fun. And we got what we came for. So fuck you, spider!

With all those extra limbs, spiders should just absorb maims.

hahahahaha sunder hat hahahaha

Our secret woodland base WAS the best and everyone who didn't camp out there missed out. I think I'm going back at some point during the last 3 events. I may just set up an extra tent there so I have flexibility.

PraseodymiumBaldassarre Giotto Oct '15

I completely forgot to mention the heist! I had a very full event. I saw spindle right before he hit Maka with a critical while we were just leaving for the heist where she was going to be our primary stealth operative. SO MUCH FOR THAT!!! We just charged in the door and held a flower to Chester's face so he'd sleep, but it didn't work for long!

Most of us had maims, Gribbit and I went the long way back to our hideout with everybody's stuff. I dropped a few bags and had to search for them later. Grand old time.

VoodooSpecterGribbit Oct '15

Haha we thought chester was going to be outside, but he was INSIDE the building, so we were all so bummed out that we missed the window and it turned out in the end that he was still there. We were all trying to peek in the window without touching the wall.

Fun fact: The "danger death by electricity" tag fell off and got mixed in with the bags we stole, so someone opened up the box we were keeping them in at one point and was like "WTF, Clarify: Am I dead?" and I was like "oh no, I don't know how that got in here, it belongs on the fence. Oops!

I also love it how in the end, everybody was in on the revolution. We were all saying "who can we / can't we trust?" and it turned out that everybody hates the ORC. Cue desecration fest.
