My first event started out with a 14 hour drive at 90 MPH up the 15, and ended with the reverse drive. However the journey was much more memorable then the end or the start.  The week long fight seemed to float by all too fast with each swing.  Usually ending in my own death; and of course a hearty chuckle.  I was so humbled by the fighters I faced because their was just such an overwhelming number of skilled players! I never got an easy break, which my endurance can only be credited to the water fountain conveniently placed on the side of the field.

     Some honorable mentions for the experience of course have to go out to the coordinators!  Also Juicer and Kite for keeping me on my toes all week long >_< The night life was amazing which mostly involved either the Urukhai(sp) main fire or the Gelfan beer pong table (good times).

 Sin night was surprisingly memorable through the drunken haze, and by my own intuition to head back to my tent before I did something stupid (Which backfired, but if ya want that story you'll have to PM me. Long story short I wasn't allowed to sleep in family camp the next night >_< )

The whole experience was an amazing first event, and I hope everyone enjoyed my company as much as I enjoyed everyone else's.   Much love from Archaeus of Andor and remember Belegarth collective, don't work too hard ;)

Man, what a blast! Only my second fighting event (last one was Rag XI... yes, I said XI) and I had a great time. I'm sunburnt to a crisp, cracked lips, bruised up and anxious for next year! I liked damn near everything but the dust... I can still taste the dust and everything I own is covered in dust.

 I pulled together all my pics and posted them, pretty random though: http://www.talinor.org/modules.php?name=gallery2&g2_itemId=181

Gelfan snake at unit battles was almost as badass as team 'that's what she said'.

So I am debating over, using Blaster, the chat application I used on tests in the Kashmir site or x7 chat that IronCrown use to use to do chats. The difficult part is I have to program the system to portal into the x7 client. But the x7 client is way more cooler than the Blaster client, it is faster slicker and so much better. So I might just Turn on Blaster and write the portal to the x7 chat later on.

Which leaves the Map. I have yet to come up with an official set of maps to display the population of Belegarth on, I actualy think I am going to make 3 or 4 dynamic maps and build an interactive system so users can cycle through them. Which reminds me I need to totaly get the Getting started content re-written in a short while. For now it can continue to suck, but I do want to get it updated before fall.

Kegg hasn't E-mailed me spacific info on Oktoberfest so I might end up just writing an Oktoberfest page and putting it up. The Chaos page will come down Monday as the event will be over.

There is a lot left to do to the site. I wish I could devote more time to it, but all in good time I think we will have a fantastic site.
