First of all, those who missed this 'Geddon, and lived within less than a few hours, and didn't have significant prior engagements, please collect your football helmet and take a seat on the short bus.
I know, for those of you that didn't go, that this might seem hard to believe, but the following is a true statement:
New Site > Old Site + Gross Burger.
I spent more time swimming and chilling at this event than I spent fighting (by a significant amount, actually
) and it didn't matter. The park instantly felt just as much like home as Forest Glen has in the last 7 years. This site will only get better, Kegg has big plans. You know that site they had for Bel, owned by former fighters? Get ready for the IL equivalent. Owned by, made by, and tended to by fighters. And it's close enough I could just go camping too!
Thank you first and foremost to Bo. This man single handily made SURE that 'Geddon happened. Do you remember 8 months ago, and not knowing who was running 'Geddon, whether 'Geddon was going on? I remember deciding that this was the year to go to Rag since 'Geddon wasn't happening. Instead what we got was the second year and a row with a fantastic 'Geddon due in part to that Atlas of a man, who decided that instead of 2 realms running 'Geddon, he'd get the ball rolling by running it himself. What a Bomatic 'Geddon.
I'd like to thank the realm of Beornve for handling the brat feast. This was excellent, the pineapple brats were amazing, and the array of mustards and sauces was an excellent idea. Don't feel too bad about the vegetable packet snafu, it was your first time and you performed like champs.
Thank you to Kegg, Cyric, Soth, Gallon, Piper, Bo, Kayle, Sorica, Kyrian, Murdoc and his crew, and anyone else who volunteered their time to make my 'Geddon the best event I've ever been to.
Thank you to Kegg for letting me shoot one of the flaming arrows to start the bonfire. That fulfilled a fantasy I've had since I joined this sport, and is probably the coolest thing I've done in 7 years of Belegarth. The fire was amazing, the first few minute I tried to have a conversation, but kept getting distracted and just blurting out "wow"s.
Thank you KD and HH for heralding, and thank you to the powers that be for just letting go and sanctioning HH drunken heralding. This was a fantastic idea, it turned out very humerous, and kept everyone in check. Because really, who wants to get called out by Katina.... when she's drunk? (did anyone start legged for stepping over a missle weapon?)
Thank you to whoever kicked a hole in the door of my tent and stole half my gin, you kept me from feeling even **** at work today!
AmAZing.
