We're only telling you how good it was so the that bad reputation Armageddon has had in the past will hopefully be erased.
Really though, this was my first big-time national event, and I enjoyed every minute of it. I had nothing but high hopes for it coming in, and I was not disappointed. The feasts, the fighting, the bardic games, the amazing weather!
Personally though, my favorite part of events (aside from fighting itself) is getting together with other people and just hanging out. I mean, I like nothing better than to sit around a campfire, listening to jokes, stories, monster mythologies and just getting to know those around me. After all, isn't one of the most precious things to this game something called
community? In my opinion, Belegarth is a group of people who come together to have fun and be friends. Or even more than that, to be family. There are some people in this game that I would trust my life with. And that's not something you run into every day.
Bottom line: I'm sorry that some people didn't enjoy Arm as much as me. All I have to say is that I think some of the focus is being lost in the details of being 100% accurate and "period". Yes, people should try to make decent garb so as not to hinder the experience of others. But like I've heard people say, we're not the SCA. The point is to
have fun.
I do respect the opinion of all veterans however, and if they disagree with anything I said, I apologize in advance. I'm just expressing myself.

Still an admin though, because people trust me or something. ;)
