Battle of the Dens X: A Return to hardcore came and went this passing weekend.
The highlight of this amtgard event is, of course, the large game of capture the flag. This is the event that the entire weekend is based around, what it builds up to.
How was the weekend for me? Glad you asked! no one else has yet bothered.
When there were things going on, the CTF...well, actually the CTF was the only thing i was able to participate in...so, in the CTF, I had a lot of fun. But otherwise, in between events, during the nighttime fires and stuff, I don't think I've felt more disconnected from the game and the people in my life. It always seemed like I arrived at the wrong time, like those I spoke to was just paying me lip service and didn't want me around. It was strange. I just wonder what I did wrong... Maybe it was me...I wasn't looking forward to this event...there was no hype for me, despite it being a big event...our 10th battle of the dens.
Oh well. I managed to have some fun, so i guess it wasn't all bad. Got to wear my new mask(pics will be up soon, i promise)
Unfortunatly there was even a bit of drama. You see, our company(a group of friends who hang around and fight under one name) have a joke/fun rivalry with another company. We've often pranked each other, so this year, our company(against my council I might add) decided to use washable markers on the rival company's windows, displaying propaganda for our company. Some of them took it real well...Got a good laugh and chuckle...our company washed off the residue(which i'm told took all of 5 minutes) and all was good. Well, two of them did not take it so well. One took it upon themself to hoof one of our guys in the nuts(yes, it was a lady) Funny thing, it wasn't even her car. *shrugs* Fortunatly, the guy that got hoofed handled it rather well and just walked away. The other person didn't even witness the occurance. Our group found out that he would freak, so they wiped it off(again leaving no residue, i'm told) and went on their merry way. He found out and freaked on them, saying they have to wash his vehicle now, and that he couldn't believe that they would damage his property, and disrespect it.
Now, again, i wasn't there, so i'm getting a bias form of the event that took place, but i'm told that the markers totally come off. That means there is no damage. That means there is no reason to wash the vehicle. there was no disrespect, it was all in fun.
I mean, this is a group of guys who would often steal our property(our flag) and keep it for months on end. Should we brings the cops in for that??
No, I didn't think so. Just..bleh to the drama. There was no reason for it. And we've met and there will no longer be a rivalry. most of the people from that company have retired from the game anyway. |
