Basically what Daraius said. That was fun! If nerve wracking.

I enjoyed that event. A rave for it.

Although I'm curious as to what will come next... I've still seen a few weather ambients... Hmm.

A thousand raves to Phoebus, Maellio, and Aithera for pulling off a near-perfect performance of a pretty long play! I couldn't be happier or more tired.

A thousand raves also to Nihmriel for writing it! I've gone through it a million times and it still amuses me all the way through! biggrin.gif

EDIT: Another thousand raves to all the audience members who stayed the whole time! I really hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.


I discovered the recording is longer than anything currently at the Vesteran stage. Also, I've been in every single play recorded in Hallifax. whatthe.gif

I should pull an RP 180 and start playing Daraius as Hollywood superstar and impresario.

Because the sky is wounded! Run for your lives!

When it gets that long, you really should consider splitting it into parts -- assuming you can find breakpoints in the action. Viewing drops off sharply about at 30 minutes and again at about 60. Making it into two or more plays means more viewers and more things to submit.

Thought about it with this one and Sylandra's long one, but there didn't seem to be an appropriate place to split them. sad.gif But it's a good tactic for the reasons you mentioned, and because it gives you the chance to suck people into a story they might not otherwise have watched. I know I would have had a lot more trouble convincing people to see Contraption if it had been one huge recording, but usually they've ended up watching all three parts in one sitting. biggrin.gif

The play didn't seem overly long to me, but perhaps I'm just strange. It was fast paced and high quality, even if it lasted a while.

Yeah, it's weird, isn't it?

Estarra is due a rave for catching that double-charged myself for my elite membership and reversing it before I even noticed smile.gif Thank you!

Well, it made sitting up there and paying attention tolerable!

Nice and fun game of chess with Maellio.
Jack2011-07-11 02:46:36
Man, nobody ever plays chess with me. I think the last game I had was with Balizar, like two years ago. sad.gif

We can play, just not ingame. Last fun game I had against someone was... sometime last year against people in school. Any time I've played chess has been against the computer, and that's just not as fun.

It's too late now! My mind has atrophied from lack of use. If I try to play chess now, I'll end up eating all the pawns. And god help the rooks.
