We will rock you

[caddyman]

Well, it's over. Eighteen or so months of planning, writing, scheming, plotting and sheer hard work by the team andn it's done: NWO Rome. I am now hot, typing this chez pax_draconis and mrcook both of whom have retired in exhaustion.

I too am tired and all together too hot, but I felt it necessary to register my immediate impression of triumph at the event. Friday evening to Sunday afternoon: 97 players, eight writers, three referees and our support people. Significantly over one million words of plot: one unqualified success. Once I get home tomorrow, I shall post up some photos from the event and witter on with notes on the highlights. Those of you with access to pax_draconis' journal will see an early selection of his and my photos to give you the flavour of the event.

For now, I am just going to say that we did it.

We topped NWO Transylvania.

We ROCK.

Edited to add: There is an angry cheese in the microwave. It has been there unattended all weekend. It speaks in hostile tongues. I fear it and the deterrent it has developed while we were at the event.

With NWO one does get the feeling of the LRP Rock Opera. It's just so BIG, everything about it is on a grand scale. As freeforms go its gotta be the biggest. As plots and themes go its big. As costumes go, you only need look at the Masked Ball costumes (Jeeebus Cripes!)

Big.

The effort people put into their costumes and role playing is what makes it worth the effort, mate.

That and your face when you thought the Tribunal was going to be restarted from scratch after you motion had been passed...

Thank you for your hard work. You're right - you rocked.

a plea for photos posted where we can see them! Are they on the forum too?

We downloaded the contents of my camera onto pax_draconis' computer last night. He has posted a selection on his journal and more onto the NWO games website.

I am currently groaning under the attempt to upload 33 pics by 56k to my webspace. Some of them are already available, others will be exclusive here!

And since I'm a lazy get, I haven't cropped them - though they are all 50% actual size.

Crazy cheese, you deserve it, hope you have a good trip :)
