I think the RPT itself was fantastic. Well played, nicely set up, the delight of discovering that magick and mundane would actually be set apart somewhat. The battles were dangerous and frightening enough without being distressing. Staggering PC attendance, and an effort made to give any PC a chance to have a purpose, even if they were non-combat. I didn't like the final result but that's a matter of personal tastes and opinions. As an RPT I think it was thoroughly well done.

ONLY complaint I have is. Kind of jarring to walk through what was a once-raided area(not saying where, though it should be obvious) and having bodies everywhere from both sides and everyone walking around like its normal and NPCs that were killed respawned and back to buisiness. Sorry, just to me it kind of destroys the awesome destructive mood set by the RPT :\.
HUGE kudos to staff though, it was best fun I have had in Arm for a long time.

I wasn't there, and I don't have anything to say about this HRPT in particular, but I wish there were -more- player involvement in HRPTs: Players on both 'sides' of the conflict, multiple possibilities for plot direction and outcome, player actions having direct influence on these plot turns, etcetera.
There's something I don't like about having a list of HRPTs that looks like:
NPC Gith attack Allanak
NPC Giants eat RSE
PCs (and NPCs) engage in Copper War
NPC Mantis attack Luir's
NPC Elementals eat Tuluk
I want more staff-encouraged PvP conflict, damnit! I want contingencies!
I want PC-playable antagonist races! I want more antagonists in general!
Rawr! One in Five isn't enough! Gimme more! More! MORE!
I think I will stop my ranting now... I could continue, but no...
My medication is kicking in, and if I get to bed soon I will probably be able to sleep.

I think the level of IC info in this thread is fine ... granted, it would be great if there were no clues at all, but there's a line where you have to begin blurring. I mean, only the people who were there really know what happened.
We have to be able to speak about things in some manner, I think. And I don't think anything here validates real concern about the spread of IC info.

I thought it worked great. Occasionally the magick and non-magick groups would cross paths, and even that was fun.

The first HRPT I played in years and years ago there was a significant PVP conflict in the bowels of the Labyrinth. It -was- really fun.
But there was PC conflict and finagling and I'm sure behind the scenes things involving PC's on conflicting sides.
And to answer Benutzcola, I think the PC death count wasn't really all that high, it seemed like most people survived.

I don't have the official player bodycount but I am relatively certain it was above fifteen, perhaps twenty.
I also know that staff (myself included) were very busy not only running the HRPT, but checking the application queue in order to allow people to cycle back in through another position if they wanted.
I believe one player actually went through three PCs.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it, it was quite an effort on all parts, and provided much amusement with the staff as well.
You all did an excellent job!
Is there any doubt as to why Armageddon is the best RPI in existence?
No, no, I think not.

HRPT was ultimately kick ass all-around, just to add my bit.
snack? I didn't eat for like a week... But something with sugar - mountain dew most likely.
Music? Something cheesy with heroic synthesizers blaring in the background, or a somber note to it, because I love cheese, all around.

I actually think keeping the mundane and the magick separated HELPED people feel more involved and less marginalised.
It's easier to feel like you're part of the Good Guys when you're out there swinging your sword with all the other Good Guys as opposed to standing there guarding an important person while the resident mage squad incinerates all the enemies before they can even pose a threat.
