Oz’s House of the Evil Dead

The day dawned, much bacon & eggs were eaten. CSM’s goon delegates had arrived and were waiting with a log in trap at breakfast. We all met up and headed over to the Fanfest Site, I managed to meet Trzzbk and The Mittani along the way.

We arrived only to find a massive queue of evenerds waiting to get in, someone correctly pointed out that it looked like a star wars convention. The Amarr RPers wearing robes probably helped with that, they looked like jedi.

Being CSM, I decided I was a VIP and thus could skip the line – I did. Why people line up fr things I have no idea, but as soon as a broke with ‘convention’ and just walked in, the line became a lot less orderly. CSM had it’s own little registration section, so we got our loot bags quickly as well as some beer and food tokens.

We hung around for a bit, met a few people (all wearing black) and then we headed in for a morning of CSM meetings – A discussion on the recent ISD incident and a ‘fix this stuff’ back and forth with the entire Mission department. Official duties done, I went and mingled until some roundtable action.

Again, being CSM, I could walk into/out of anything I wanted without having to sign up. I abused this power without remorse. The first roundtable I went to check out was about Fiction Writing. Lots of familiar faces in there including the guy who wrote Clear Skies and of course Roc and Shae. Special shoutout to Sham/Raem (you might remember him as being the guy that lost the Impoc in the alliance tourney) – was nice to see him again since the last time we met 4 years ago.

After grabbing some lunch with Abathur, Palli and Ollie (BDCI represent!), I wandered off to check out a few more talks/roundtables, ran a live agent mission pretty much solely for the reason that there was an extremely attractive woman who was drawing tattoos on people’s faces (I got a Gallente one on my forehead), bid on a few items in the silent auction, and generally talked to a lot of people.

Just before the Alliance panel started, I managed to abuse my CSM powers once again to get a 10minute slot at the end of the PvP Tourney – I challenged Roc to a Celebrity Death Match t1 Frigate fight. It was an epic of skill and bravery that ended up with him at half shield and me at 80% armour and no audience and CCP Claw just wanting to get everyone out. Roc won by popular vote.

Alliance panel was interesting until Darius JOHNSON did the goon presentation. I can’t really describe the insanity that it involved, you need to wait until it appears on youtube.
