For more info, read the IG boards.
This should be a good one.
emote firmly applies stamp of approval to thread.
Seriously, folks, don't miss this.
Ok, I won't. ::)
If I'm not truly amazed... Oh you have no idea the ramifications. :P

Your character will die?
Actually, if it's a good enough RPT for my PC to die, I'll probably enjoy it.

P.S. I'll still be there plenty I just mean I wish I could be there at any time I needed to be instead of having work... ok, nevermind.
Be there or be square.

I'm sure there will be plenty of opportunity for death, provided you're in the right place at the right time.
Hell yeah, this has been a long time coming. ;)

You have no idea how many characters of mine have died, waiting for this RPT.
Really you don't... It could be fifty or it could be none. Hah!

Haven't seen the IG board announcement, but spiffy.
Cheers to everyone who invests time to make it happen, whatever it is. ;D
Everybody get ready.. We're only a couple hours away. :)
Everybody better show!!!!
The actual departure time is more likely to be around 8:30 pm EST due to the in-game daylight cycle.
For all of you, I asked, and the answer is: YES, THERE WILL BE BOOZE.

And she doesn't mean virtual booze. It's just how she's going to handle all over you, the only way she can still manage to do so. DRUNK IRL! :D
Yes, booze, and I am also bringing marshmallows. Use your imagination to figure out what I'm roasting them with.
Brainzcraps from the imms table.
I just want you to know that I specifically am NOT getting drunk for this very event. Yeah, that is right. I am doing this whiskey free. That is dedication.
So what is the OOC time frame for this?
It's safe to assume this RPT is taking more than just tonight, right? If so, when tomorrow should we be signing on to resume the fun?
The RPT's going to be taking all weekend, possibly longer.
There should be stuff going on intermittently throughout the day, with probably some more major action happening tomorrow evening.
Something tells me that this is going to be a slow weekend for me. If only I could tag along...
:(
Any chance we could get rough times as to when it is a good idea to pop in? I don't want to spend ALL weekend on if I can.
What, you're averse to just hanging around playing Kruth and dice and roasting marshmallows with me? Infidel. The downtime will be fun too.

Check back tomorrow, I'll have something posted.
I shall also be on just about the entire thing. During the copper wars, doing such was the bomb-diggity.

I live for that stuff. The build up, the aftermath, and the quiet bits in the middle.
Combat spam doesn't really float my boat. Not saying I don't appreciate all the work put into it, I just love the side effects most.
I'm looking forward to a busy weekend and massive amounts of coffee. Or a sudden death!
8 pm est tomorrow (or the first dawn thereafter) might be a good time to be online if you want to see the main events.
Other involved leaders can post times they plan to run their own missions here if it suits them.

Amen, brother.
I was sadly never able to experience the Copper War - other than frantically bribing the Luirs gate guard to let me outa there when they locked up the joint. :-X
I'M EXCITED.

But yea.

Are we all talking about the RPT that is currently going on in my apartment?
Whoah! Usually there are only like.. five people on at this time of day. Awesome.

Damn you! Because of you, I spent the entire morning playing Oregon Trail. :D
LOL, screw Oregon Trail. Get on Arm, come shoot the shit.
If you hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty floral bonnet I will end you.
She is really starting to damage my calm!
Any time now is a good time to log on, folks. Stuff has been happening. There are kind of too damn many leaders and not enough minions ;) Minions, log on!

Yes, good time to get on now, things are starting to get pretty hot.
In fact, there will be a mission soon.
And for others wanting to stay in camp, there is socializing and hanging out going on right now. It shouldn't be too hard to find, but look around or ask someone.
Reminder: If everyone titled their mount, then it would be really easy to tell which belongs to who, and people wouldn't ride off with the wrong mount that possibly has personal effects strapped to it. To title a mount, first hitch it, then mount it, then do "title beetle Dorko" (for example).
And don't be afraid to read room descriptions guys...

No IC info, I don't want to know what you guys are doing in between missions.
Alright...there is one thing worse then knowing what's going on ic and not being able to join due to ic reasons..
You jerks talking about it....
*Cerelum Glowers*
That was awesome... I just pulled like... fourteen hours of play.
What I can say is that was one of the most entertaining things I've EVER seen happen in this mud......EVER.
LOLOL
I have to admit. That was probably one of the most fun things to happen to any of my charactes ever. Fun for me I mean, not my character. It's been like a relentless assault of crazy shit.
I gotta agree - it was awfully ... off the chain.
Stop it you sprinkle genies... I am so jealous that I couldn't march my character over there...
AHH!
J-Rod
I had the best scene in my Armageddon career. Without a doubt.
In like eight or nine years of playing, I had -the best scene- I have ever had.
Wow. You guys all rock, and just let me say that we have the best Storytellers out there.
This was better than reading my favorite book for the first time good.
Kudos. Severe and serious kudos.
Title beetle Gith.
Oh wait... :-\

I keep trying to log in during the day cause I want to know what I'm missing.. only to be reminded very firmly that daytime is toddler time :P
I wonder if I can hire a babysitter for the next rpt... ;)
I had a lot of fun... until it ended... BAM! Hah.
Grrrr, sometimes GMTness is very annoying.

Yes, if you do the right things.
Sounds like you guys had a great time! Good to hear.
-Yc
This is definitely not over. Plans are still in the works, but I would expect some MaJoR AcTiOn this evening starting between 8 and 10 pm EST.
See post above.
Ugh ...Southie.
Let's get this party started!
I got in a car crash so I was delayed getting home until just now (got side swiped by a person who decided that red lights were not her thing). Now I have my folks driving in from out of town and I have to have dinner with them. I guess what I am saying is that you all just need to hit pause and not do anything until I get back. Ok, so no events or anything until around 8 or so, ok? So, uh sit around the camp and stuff and chat. No doing anything cool until at least 8 (if not a little later).

I would actually be cool with this. More campfire chat!
I agree with Troicha ... one thing I loved about the Copper War was the time spent out there ... just mundane time. Really develops a character.
Aye. I've had a lot of fun just sitting around. I mean. At least half of it.

When I first skimmed this I read I got in a car WASH, and was delayed...
I was like, that's your fault for getting in that car wash!
J-Rod
Crash?
Again.
I'm sorry, I just won the game and beat the last boss character. So Ginka shut down.
I'm gonna go run to burger king now, grab some grub, then come back awaiting for someone to hit the reset button.

Nah, it's blatantly a net. Some dolphin probably got caught up in it.
Don't be talking about my blag-o-blag that way.
I personally don't normally bitch about crashes, it happens, but I do hate that it flings my character backwards in time. To like 5-10 minutes earlier.
J-Rod
Oh my god.... For those of you that were with me when... Yeaaah. Fuck.
So is it over?
J-Rod
Nope. Which rocks.
This is totally and absolutely beautiful.
I hope the staff is watching the people who want to, beyond a measure of a doubt, just mount up and ride to this event, but can't cause of ic restrictions... I hope they are happy... :'(
J-Rod
Heh, I feel your pain, J-Rod. Can't be at every kick ass RPT.
At this point, everyone in the camp would know that the commanders are essentially declaring victory in the campaign, and preparations are being made for most of the force to return home. There may be further, related missions at some point, which will be announced separately. IC board posts will be up soon reflecting what is generally known about what transpired.
I hope everybody enjoyed this. Especially those of you who didn't survive it. We'll miss you.
That was such an epic ending. Seriously, right out of a movie or a book.
Great stuff everyone!
Also I hope this proves my theory that PvE wars can be just as fun, if not better than, PvP wars.
Is there any estimate when the return trip will be, though?
Return trip is pretty much an "on your own time" kinda thing. Consult your clan leaders for more info, quit out aboard appropriate wagons, etc.
A super thank you to all who could attend this. That was _amazing_. You all did incredible jobs. Some of the best RP and char development I've seen. A special thank you to the Imms and Southie for likely pulling out their hair to get all of this put together, and anyone else I may not know of or forgot.
Fantastic! ;D
I had a real blast this weekend with all of you. Thanks for the great play, and thanks for bringing your brainz.
I totally played my role, as I'm sure others had to do and missed it or at least the best parts of it.
Ugh.
I just hope to be able to play in the next one.
J-Rod
I also hope that the Karma dispensers are being used for us...shameless plug to try and get karma, I know...
This RPT was amazing. I am astounded and ecstatic that I was able to take part, even a little bit.
Agreed, Immortals FTW!
Awesome rpt. Thanks to the players too.
Whichever Staff member emoted that beetle... You know the one. You rock.
Wow, that was really fun. Thank you, staff and players, for all of that.
I had a freaking blast, feeling groggy at work this morning was so worth it.
Awesome work, guys; wish I'd been around for more than the tiny bit I was.
Very nostalgic, too.

Bwahahahahahaha. Yeah, that was good.
I have to agree. Staff and player leaders, you guys did an absolutely incredible job organizing that and pulling it off.
The players who weren't leaders and just came along to do all the heavy lifting did a great job too, I saw some awesome rp and the atmosphere was killer.
What? Over?
I logged off 12AM EST for sleep :(, didn't know it was still going on? Or is that other event I only heard of IG that happened before than? I will see IG I guess.
Don't forget to send actual kudos through the request tool to the players of PCs that died, or the players of PCs who did a lot of hard work, or players of PCs whose roleplay you really enjoyed. Especially in the case of PCs dying, getting a kudos after can really help get past the loss of what might have been a beloved character.
Also, send kudos through the request tool to the imms. I am certain they like getting kudos too.

For real. People worked their asses off for this. Send kudos to the organizers and clean leaders, or your dead friends or whatever.
People of all ic classes worked their fingers to the bones for this, and got rewarded with a weekend without shower and possibly a dead character, I bet they'd love to hear about it if you actually enjoyed yourself. I know there's enthusiasm on the board, but kudos just feel warm and fuzzy, it's way more personal AND ensures that it's on the record the staff can look at later.
Can someone write up the events of the RPT for the in-game board?
Thanks.

Actually, we have one big sticky on the Immortal Discussion Board that is like a collective refrigerator, where we paste up all the kudos we get. Staff kudos is really appreciated, and forever immortalized on the IDB for when we need our fix of warm fuzzy feeling.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*goes to send staff kudos so they can have a fix*
