Thanks for posting this, I was unable to attend due to work

[Locomono]

I was also unable to attend and am flogging myself for missing Lady Nyx. Oh when will I see her again.....*SIGH*

[Myyah]

nnnnnn

[Ashsaber]

A shame I couldn't be around for something like this :",

[Keldrath]

I wish I could have been in attendance, I got a mixture of a good laugh and utter annoyance from the interjections during the speech at the end however...

nn((As for the interferers, a few of us talked about that in Vent afterwards. While on one hand you can do the meetings out of the way to avoid it, it then lacks impact. It's important to keep the art of RP alive, and art isn't art unless it's observed by those that didn't create it.nnSo, we just unfortunately need to deal with it as best we can. When in character, I actually find it pretty easy to ignore them. nnStill though, they're punks ))

[Thulcondar]

((I believe it is VITAL that we do these things:n1. More often nn2. In VERY public venuesnnRP is alive and well and we should should the server that!))

[Shimmerwind]

A great big thank you to the guild leadership for logging and posting the event! I'm sorry I missed it; my goddaughters were staying the night with me and they demanded my attention for pretty much the entire evening.nnI'll do my damnedest to be at the next one, though!

[Kallokain]

Yeah... we need to try to do this more often, and in public. Griefing will happen, but such things are easily ignored.nnGreat fun, loved it.
