[Why on earth are all the magical convention's on a date I can't attend?

I hope you all have fun! ]

[Cirerey]

As usual, I agree with Jilata.

[As it turns out I might NOT be able to make it - I'm staying with family and don't have access to a computer that can handle PS right now. However if you still need help in some small capacity like a write-up of something, I'm still willing to help. Have fun to those who do attend!]

[Thedrish]

"Hmmm... we're going to have a Magickal Convention soon," Thedrish thought when he read the parchment that had been nailed to the wooden board near Harnquist.

He smiled, "What a great idea. And a good reason for a party". Nevertheless, as leader of The Dragon Council it would be no question that he would attend just like other guild leaders. Not because it was expected, but it would be a good way to catch up with some he had not seen for some time.

And besides, he could always be a mentor to those that have questions about the Crystal Way, his favorite magical way he had been training for some time. His mentor, Govell, had already told him when he got his Crystal way Master wand, that he was a promising apprentice. And it would be great if he could help others on their way too. Or help others identify their magical weapons, something he had discovered with his Blue way training, although his skills were moderate on this.

"I will send Sir Roled a note that I will attend and help as mentor if desired."

[Roled]

"I will send Sir Roled a note that I will attend and help as mentor if desired."

Roled reads a note that has just arrived, from Thedrish and the Dragon Council. He grins, hoists his beer in the air and mumbles "To good friend again well met, and new friends to be made." 

[Caraick]

That should work for me, Roled. See you guys there.

WHO INVITED THE NAUT? 



Everyone loves a parade! (Even a laggy one) 

[Roled]

      THANKEE TO YOU ALL    :sorcerer
Dear PS community~ thank you a scad for helping with and attending the Magic Convention. We were delighted by the turnout -76 people at one point- and thank you for your patience, your great questions and participation, and your support as a community.

I am going to forget someone in this list of thanks and please forgive me when I do, because I am an elf of very little brain today.  THANKS FIRST to Resildren and Venorel, without those two and their early and consistant organizing,  the MagCon wouldn't have happened! Thanks so the chefs who didn't get enough time to have their creations admired and partaken of, especially Kabiter, Yenida, Zalya, Sanril, Anysu, Paradoxa, and ... all the people who brought pies! We ran out of time for the Feast so we should have another simply a Feast and celebrate their contributions.  A huge thanks and hip hip hurrah to Qter who made the AMAZING perfect enchanted armors sets that were prizes- it was my fault the handing out of the prizes was such a mess- my bad- but Qter's talent and skill and generosity are unsurpassed!

Another thanks and apology is due to Dios and to Qter who were ready to do their alchemy and enchantement presentations and demonstrations. Again, I didn't have the timing right and so they too were left out, my sincere apologies to these two experts who were ready , willing and able. Thanks to the Knowledge Seeekers too who donated the prizes of the sack of perfect potions of the highest quality, 10 bottle each of the 8 highest level alchemies. Thank you KS!

Thanks to all the folks who helped organize and advertize the MagCon- especially Prreta who made the flyers which were great, and Zontick and Anysu and others who passed the flyers out,  and Kroz and Yenida who helped prepare, and set up and clean up, and everyone else who stayed to clean up at the end of the event.

Special thanks to Eonwind and Mordaan and Sarva and all the GM/ Devs- Eonwind set the square up with the alchemy and enchanter stations before hand and solved logistics for us, sarva posted the event in the calendar and lent her virtual hands in problem solving, Venalan helped me think through logistics and MagCon needs and helped me solve issues ahead of time, and Mordaan lent his skills to the surprise demonstration of the new spell about to be released in the next update.  And to all the other GMs and Devs who continue to offer support to this game on an ongoing way- we the players thank you - you may not hear it often enough, but a whole bunch of us know and appreciate your volunteer work for our gaming pleasure!

Of course thank you to the skilled Mages and players who presented the Circles at the MagCon, led by Resildren our elf of all trades, and Lumi (where were the other dwarves???), Wolferz, Firke, Gova, and Zerzz (sp?) who stepped in at the last minute to present the Dark Way.  The questions were important and informative, and the answers expert, well considered and very well role played. Thank you ! Thank you Thesdrish for helping to organize and head up the parade- laggy we know, but with everyone with their staffs and wands and robes, it looked great! And thank you for coming 'back' in game to show your help and support, especially Cormah, Gova, and other 'oldbies' and master magicians.

And thank you to everyone who attended! The event was organized for you and with you. I was grateful and happy at the community turnout at the event.

I know I a forgetting lots of people who did lots of things as they were asked and as needed.- so please forgive my brain drain perpetual spell, and know that we appreciate everything you did- small, large, and inbetween.

I know we made mistakes ,especially in timing, my bad again. The event went well over our planned 3 hour window, so again, thanks to everyone who stayed,and all who came and went as their rl time allowed.

OK! RR is now gunna take an organizing break, kick back, eat some pie, and take it easy.  Hopefully no surprises will make their way in the handsome Dermorian's rp life for the next little bit... 

  Happy Xiosiamass from all the MagCon players to all the players! 
Yer pal
