Do it.
"You left me alone in the wastes for six months!"
Jurgen beats a defenseless man. "What'd he do?" Jurgen finishing blows the man. "We think he's the guy from a wanted poster." "Wait... You THINK he's wanted?"
Nice Lizard man letting us take half his food while his friend was being killed like ten feet away in the dark of night.
"I'm bored, let's go look for trouble."
I'm tired. I may add more later.
system May '13
Mrah, more.
Nico: "Maybe I shouldn't have so casually told Astrid that all the Brothers in the Facility are dead..."
The sound of utter desperation in Miles' voice as he tells Dee to escape the facility and go get help as he franticly attempts to block swings from a dominated Dot and two drones using his only working arm.
Sidewinder wins the archery contest. Sidewinder throws an ax at Ivan. Sidewinder misses and his ax hits Astrid instead. Astrid is knocked unconcious.
Candyman...

Brother Thyrsus and Astrid wax poetical about politics. ASTRID: I don't get why everyone's so hung up on making everyone else out to be the bad guy. I mean, they're just rumors. Rumors that spread and get out of control and ruin everyone's reputation and make them hate you forever. Like, 'Sister Addy snuck into the liquor cupboard again and stole all the booze.' BROTHER THYRSUS: (lost in thought) ...What? ASTRID: What?
Overheard in the Trading Post: GIUSEPPE: (To Kirill) Addy's in the Brotherhood, you know. (whispering) It's a phase. ASTRID: It is NOT a phase! GIUSEPPE: You know, when I was eight I thought I was a mutant for two weeks. My father had one of his knights dress up like an even bigger mutant, put me on a wheeled cart, and we had a mutant joust with foam weapons.
GIUSEPPE: That's better than Sir Miles spending all his salt on drugs and whores. MILES: Hey. I don't pay for whores. (pause) ... (to himself) Do I pay for whores?
Confession at the Pavilion: PATER NOX: What do you do with your hands? SERF HANNAH: Work. PATER NOX: What do you wish to do with your hands? SERF HANNAH: ...Work.

Oh man, this was an awesometastic event!
All of the Cult of Ichitalga coming out of the woods at once, and the intense negotiation/standoff between them and the PCs.
Being a giant mobile pylon-mutant. Definitely a good time.
Blowing Derek and Ryan's minds on the saturday night hunting mod as a lizard man.
Saturday morning wake-up plot! I love using that crowbar so much.
Lex/Shark. A grown man has no business being that precious.
Sunday three-way battle as an executioner. Getting hit with nearly every projectile in Beacon after hitting Astrid, or having a stand-off with Niccolo and Two-Steps, just an all-around fun mutant to play.
"What do you get when you mix berries and nuts?"
"Can you make fish not taste like fish?"

Wow - where to begin.
CLEAVE to the gonads. Ow.
Plot-Blocked!
Players reactions to "the connection to the chassis is ...sub-optimal."
Power suits and martini glasses.
Mutants vs. Vartok vs. Beacon - LOVED THAT FIGHT SO HARD.
Lex's "I'm not going to get out of here alive" moment in the corner.
Brother Niccolo and Brother Briteson during the Accord meeting. Add in the town leaders and the tension in there was palpable.
"There are rats in here?"
Everyone's reactions to the Candyman - seriously, you folks made him SO MUCH FUN to play.
More to come if I can think of them (brain still recovering from this weekend). I had a BLAST.
system May '13
Ivan to Nico: "Whatever you do, dont die.. i dont want to be the only cook in beacon!"
The mental image of the horrible death via the Candyman's candy if someone ate enough to lose all core stats.
after the first try at the late night facility run: brother buff "The only thing keeping you from going in there again is common sense"
Sister Astrid while she is treating rad damage: "i'm glad to see this works so well on people who are awake"
Brother Briteson after the tension about plantness: "Why doesnt anyone seem i'm far more dangerous now than i would be as a plant monster?"
BRADY as that shambling trash can monster in the mod. so creepy and so awesome.
i probably have more.
EvilHannah May '13
We somehow didn't run out of pizza.
Everything about Aldebrandi services and especially Miles' heartfelt repentance and firm resolve to change.
"I spoke impertinently to my superiors had impertinent thoughts." "Yes I hear that one a lot actually."
Listening to people screaming in the mod.
Discussing Astrid's current Brotherhood phase.
People's incredulity about what kinds of "food" I am willing to just shove in my face without close examination.

"If I promise to hold your hand the whole time will you come adventure with me and Graal?" -Little Dot
"You're a surgeon?" -Nico "You're a chemist?" -Everyone else
Dusty Gus: Bring your hand out like this, palm up Astrid: Ok Dusty Gus: Now apply palm to your forehead like this Astrid: slap Dusty Gus: Feel better now? Astrid: Surprisingly, yes. Dusty Gus: Yeah, it gets me through the day
IT'S NOT A PHASE!

Oh man, listening to the players react to the creature in the facility was fantastic. The fight and the terror in player voices as they fought it, and had to fall back to bring in help. shudder Deliciously scary.
JacquelinewJacqueline Whalen/ Dame Dee of house Ossio May '13
Was the only female player at game Friday night, at other games that would likely make me feel uncomfortable but everyone here is really cool.
Brady and two others as cannibals chasing brother cross and my self, running till I was out of breath and having to be rescued.
Bountiful Red and the amazing hair brothers club for men, learning about hand hygiene and ordering shampoo. Brother Nicolo and I making plans to sneak me into the club in the future.
The candy man, wins the award for creepiest makeup.
Doctor placebo, and doctor wonderful.
Drinking in the woods and seeing glowing floating things
Ben the leader of the hammers died frowning yuri couldn't do surgery on her but was able to revive her long enough for her to say her last words.
Miles told me to run away during the mod, I climbed through the tunnel and hid watching as everyone I came in with was under control of the bad guys and being sent out the door. I snuck over and acted like I was also under the dominate effect and walked out with them. Shortly afterwards we went regrouped and went back in with much more success.
Went to two events forgetting I could use swords, this time I bought a sword from Giuseppe And borrowed a phys rep. Really liking the ability to switch from ranged to mele
Entering the mele contest and finding out I'd have to fight Aaron in the first round. No way that was going to end well for me. Oh and docks entering the contest as non combat

Not a quote, but Hannah's "label your cups" sign in Staff Center had some quality lines.
"WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? YER ON KARST -- YER GONNA DIE!!! LABEL YO SHIT"
wowy319Zack Oak May '13
Ooh! On the topic of staff center stuff, Alex's box of donations and the craziness it contained.
Matt May '13
Do I need a reason to beat a man to death with a pipe?

Kitec could not destroy the trading post however a farmer nearly brought the whole building crashing down.
DaveGame Director May '13
The first few that come to mind:
"Have you had surgery before?" "Does brain surgery count?"
"What part of 'don't poke the glowing thing' don't you understand?" "The 'don't' part"
Running my ass off after my gun jammed, and I'm faced with swords that don't run out of ammo.
Trying to keep a straight face when I saw people actually put on the jumpsuits.

Pylon fight! Chasing a wiley duster around the woods as a Son of Vartok (think it was "Shark")
Early morning raid and of course running into some of the best fighters
Stalking little dot
Being a turret in the mod hall
Two Steps jumping around like a madman to avoid my 3 crushing shots, but Brady shooting him to a weakened state. Then when his was sitting up shooting him with another round so he goes unconscious. Brother Niccalo then poking his leg to make sure he wont get shot, then dragging a limp two steps around the corner. From my angle I just saw Two Steps limp body magically sliding away from me and around the corner, with arms limply in tow (like if he was cheering :P).
Being rushed as the turret and having a cloak thrown over me by Niccalo (+1 creative thinking!), then Two Steps trying to determin if I was deactivated. "Hey is this thing off?" Lift's up cloak a bit then waves in front of the gun "3 CRUSHING!" "Well... thats a no."
Legion shrinkage
Going out as a Brotherhood Guardian and getting incredibly hard looks from all the aldebrondi wondering if I was a wanted man, which I was not.
Drawing the wanted poster!
Getting to be a controller and throwing stun gas bombs!
Nico being stun gunned down
Deep inside the facility
Ordering my drones to attack Guiseppie and Miles when their backs are to me due to fighting mutants
Being chased down by angry mutant tibbs and getting absolutely crushed into the dirt

Stalking little dot
Well... Huh. I'm being stalked. I should probably pay more attention to my surroundings.
AndyTwo-Steps May '13
So many! In no particular order:
-Package plot! My first mail quest is nigh!
-Dramatic smut reading at Crud. "Dee... you can breathe now."
-Being thrown up against that damn box first of anyone. "Okay what do we do now?" "We have to shut down the security system. You have to flip the switch, but if you hit the wrong contact--" "Oh, you are S---ING me."
-Brit's Duster's final words: "You weren't supposed to do that..."
-The Greatest Scooby-Doo Jumpsuit Mod. Just... all of it.
-"Natasha and the Lizard Man"
-The actual lizard men.
-Hearing Brother Bell say that he can be reached by post. Two-Steps' calling is coming to fruition!
-Distracting the runaway until Jurgen beat him half to death with a pipe.
-Bountiful Red. Just... Bountiful Red.
-Being included on an important town leader meeting for being the postman.
-Waylaying Dave all of the times in the final battle. SO MANY RAISINS went into all of that.
-Eliminating the Sons of Vartok handler Friday night.
-Two-Steps and Niccolo vs Executioner
-Jurgen winning the Gunny Bears
-Dat Turret in the facility.
-Finishing the fight with the giant black thing in the facility. There we were geared for war... guess that last group almost had it.
-"In fact, an engine went missing just last night." (Niccolo and I immediately glance at each other...)
-"Did you idiots go find Bonkers' clearing?!"
-Wishing someone would ask Two-Steps to carry out one of the pizzas, if for no other reason than to say Two-Steps even does pizza deliveries.
Running my ass off after my gun jammed, and I'm faced with swords that don't run out of ammo.
"YOU'RE OUT OF AMMO! YOU'RE OUT OF AMMO!" I have to say, props on being speedy.
Trying to keep a straight face when I saw people actually put on the jumpsuits.
What, you mean the BEST jumpsuits?
Two Steps jumping around like a madman to avoid my 3 crushing shots, but Brady shooting him to a weakened state. Then when his was sitting up shooting him with another round so he goes unconscious. Brother Niccalo then poking his leg to make sure he wont get shot, then dragging a limp two steps around the corner. From my angle I just saw Two Steps limp body magically sliding away from me and around the corner, with arms limply in tow (like if he was cheering :P).
That was not my finest moment, but it was a hilarious one. Still, being able to hurl myself close enough to the entrance that people could reach me to drag me back was kind of an achievement. And I'm glad people just dragged me, because if anyone had done the "I pick you up" thing my response would have been "do it then. :P"
I'm sure there was more.
Matt May '13
I thought Two Steps ass was trying to eat his jumpsuit.
DaveGame Director May '13
How could I forget about Jazz-Hands Nico? Possibly the best distraction ever.
Valdi May '13
Jurgan: I swear if I find Michael Sheridan while we're on campaign, I'm going to put his head on a fucking pike. Hannah: (Completely deadpan) But he shoots lightning out of his fingers, and throws fireballs. That's what people are saying about him, he's a symbol. Killing him won't change that, because he shoots lighting out of his fingers. Miles: Well it'll make us feel better. Hannah: Oh, well if it's personal that's okay, it still won't matter... Because he shoots lightning out of his fingers.
-Miles and Little Dot late night shenanigans
-Sassy jumpsuit mod
-Aldebrandi Tournament! Delightful PvP and the only time beating up a cripple will be funny.
-Astrid explaining her make-shift radiation purging device "Then I remove the gross blood and replace it with the happy blood! :D"
-Before game Bestwick talking about how his character is beginning to have a phobia of technology, and specifically the Facility. To paraphrase: "I'm pretty sure that the moment that we're in there some sort of monster will come through the membrane and attack us. Like the walls will open up and something will come out to get me." Pan to the Saturday night Facility run, when the room fills with sleeping gas AND THAT EXACT THING HAPPENS"
-"Then he throws back his long windswept hair, the sweat glistening off of his chiseled chest. He looks deep into her eyes before whispering... Yip yip yip yip yipyipyip yip yip."
-Glove trading with Kiril.
-Brady's jerking robot was fantastically creepy.
Many more later.
