caddyman: (NWO)

We will rock you

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 [livejournal.com profile] pax_draconis and [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.

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?
