I have the PsychGRE on Saturday, but I may put in an appearance sometime Friday, and some of my wolves may be in attendance on Saturday. If you don't see us there, hope you have fun and kill a lot of people. :sword:

This year, there WILL be video footage of The Gauntlet. I will bring a fairly decent quality video camera and tripod. We just need to find a bystander intelligent enough to follow simple directions and not **** it up for us.

Almost packed and should be leaving about 11:30 today! Troll should be open by 1500 at the latest!


Also, to make things much easier, I have dropped the price to $20 for the event! There are no day trip prices as I found out we are not getting a price break on day trips this year.

This event made my year; great fighting, great event grounds, great feast, great people, great administration (site and event coordination) -- true Southern hospitality; rather Wintersnight or Winter War next year... looking forward to the next one.

On final note: ZOMG teh wristband tokens cut me and impaired my ability to fight! :)

Absolutely HATED to leave at 4 pm Saturday in the middle of a brutal Gauntlet, but had a great time with everyone and can't wait to see you all at the next event! :)

Anyone get a picture or video of Shoonz drawing two arrows and getting two kills from the fortress battles? Or even the confused/surprised look on everyone's faces?

I would like to thank everyone that came out to the event and make it a good one. Our total number for the event was 84, but there was some good, yet tough fighting out there. I believe a good time was had by most! I want to thank Dragon Hills and their staff for help us out at the event, and I want to thank the cadre of folks that stepped up to help out. Druss was our head herald/weaponschecker this year and I believe he did an outstanding job! The Gauntlet was pretty brutal and narrow this year, maybe a little too narrow..lol. :armor1:

The winners of the tournaments:
Single blue - I don't remember but I will find out and post it.
Dagger - Aegis of the Cu Sith - and won a dagger
Red - Aegis of the Cu Sith
Sword and Board - Addison of Templar (TDK)
Archery - Dustin??? I believe from the Lowlands.
Assassins - I don't remember but I will find out and post it. Now, some of the merchants surprised us with a samurai sword to give to the winner of the Assassins tournament.

Please post quotes and memories from the event!

Tournament Info
Archery: Dustin = Shoonz of the Lowlands
Assassin: Shek'am of the Lowlands

Memories:
1. Shoonz getting two seperate kills with one draw of his bow.
2. Haggis Friday Morning:) the Bruce and I got a great view of that.
3. Aegis just being beast plain and simple.
4. The Bruce's 2 gallon beer mug.
5. Gauntlet was awesome last year; however, IMO... Fortress battles took it this time...
6. Clank clank clank; is there a tank coming? No, it's Tiberius of Rome!

Memories (Many are the same):

2. Leonidas's Baby Seal song
3. The Bruce's mug
4. "Tiberius, you can't do that here! We're not in Florida anymore!" when he went on the field in his shorts after guantlet
5. Watching the Ravenous Unit Trials
6. My very first event ever

HA! How fitting is it that I'm remembered for my beer mug? And no, it does NOT hold two gallons. That's ridiculous. Remember, when I bought it I eyeballed it and said it would hold about 18 beers? Well, I filled it yesterday afternoon and 18 beers reached to the bottom of the rim, with a creamy head foaming juuuust over the top.

*, I am SO much better at drinking beer than I am at fighting... :neutral:
