Also, it was probably obvious to everyone that I had a fabulous weekend. Apologies to Ian and anyone else I may have helped to keep awake whilst doing so. It's these night shifts, even when you've been up all day it seems wrong to go to bed when it's dark. 
I am so very glad I've spent the last couple of months running in my chainmail, it meant I was bounding with energy all weekend. Though going to work Monday night may have been a bad plan, especially as the last two nights have been hell on toast. At three o'clock on Tuesday morning, when I was trying to clear up the results of a fork lift truck accident by shovelling 3/4 ton of spuds before the boss got in, I'll confess to feeling slightly less than mighty !
Review to follow when I have two minutes to rub together, probably weekend, but for now; it was ace. There was marvellously welcoming hospitality, creepiness, bad-pun based comedy, ladies balancing swords on their heads, and a pet gimp. What more do you need for a weekend ? I thoroughly enjoyed the inevitable downhill slide of my character that I've been doing my best to avoid. Note to self, Bacchanalian wakes are not good places to attempt to be quiet in a corner and think over your day without getting into any more trouble.
Can't wait for next year, have already started planning my next move. Survival, I think, would be a start....

| Right... that's it! A third HT missed because of Shards and a third HT which sounded ace. Next year Shards can go hang, I want to do muddy linears dammit!

HT is soooo much more than linears, they are but a small part in a weekend of excellent RP, possibly the best break from normality that I'll ever encounter. It is fast paced, non stop fun, games, action, heroics. It's got pvp, it's got linear it's got everything.
Ian see's it as unashamedly old school but I think it is the perfect fusion of old and new, let us call it newer, lrp the next generation..
Yeah I'm a fan!

| Bollocks! It sounds like HT was even better this year, which is gutting seeing as its the first one I couldn't make it to (okay, so its only run three times, but that still makes me sound hardcore). I like to think you would have had even more fun if Team Evil could have made it to backstab and betray each other. Ian, Bridey and Pete - Glad it went well, and I hope I'll be able to make it next year. Also, to the old timers, did this year's site have a slightly less terrifying security system?

I'd have loved to have seen Team Evil along again -- we did miss you guys.
This year's site's security system consists solely of a bloke called Steve reminding me that I had responsibility for locking all the doors if no-one was present in the building, so given that he was off-site the entire time we were there, it was a lot quieter than last year, security-wise.
