Last night's game was fabulous. Although the game site was noisy, I still find it far superior to paying $300 for a little hotel room off the beaten path with no chance of attracting new players to the game. I think we probably had the wrong "style" of game for the event, since it was more formal, and people were making speeches, etc., and needed to be heard... if we had had something where people just milled about in small groups, talked, etc. (as they did for the middle portion of the game), it probably would have worked better. However, hindsight is 20-20, and since I will assume a large part of the responsibility for those decisions, I still think it was all good. Atlanta continues to be a game for which we end up with more out of town players than we do locals. I'm not sure what we can do to change that, but we have to figure out something regarding sites, etc. We cannot count on the local player base to support us, yet relying on revenue from out-of-towners would be difficult to gauge as well.
That being said, however, I'm not currently a chapter office, so it's no longer my concern. This doesn't mean I'm being apathetic, far from it, but it does mean that I can't spend time worrying over things which I have no control.
From an IC perspective, last night was rock-solid, vintage Pearl. I had a great deal of fun with the Pauper's Court, however, my shining moment actually occurred out back, with relatively few witnesses.
During a conversation with Ruskalya (played by the lovely![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
falfox) I was telling the tale of the Atlanta Gangrel sport of skydiving without a parachute. I lamented, however, at the fact that since we crashed Adriana's (once played by crystalright) airplane, we couldn't participate any more.
At this point, a visiting Malkavian from Chattanooga commented that if I possessed my family's gift of assuming a "flight form" I might still simulate the sport by flying high in the air and then "changing" back.
Boy did *this* hit a button!! Pearl immediately headed outside, changed into a hoot owl, and flew 300 feet straight up in the air. At that point, she changed back to her vampiric form, and with a loud "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!" went plummeting back to earth, spending blood to earth meld just as she hit the earth.
(For one thing, seeing the look on the ST's face was worth it alone). He had me make 3 simple tests, of which I won two. He went back to the onlookers and described that they saw me plummet from the sky, and "poof" disappeared as I hit the ground.
When I stood up and brushed the earth from myself, I found myself looking at Archon Cross (played bymartinhesselius) who asked me if he had indeed seen what he just thought he saw. After responding to the affirmative, Archon Cross threw his hands in the air and exclaimed "The curse of Caine should not be used as a toy!"
That made my night. I'll never forget it. Thanks, Glas.

Oh my... I'm sorry I missed that. Of course, I was off having a splendid time, but I'm still sorry. And Pearl was ever-amusing at the Pauper's Court. You tried my acting skills at trying to be paranoid and unamused throughout the whole thing.
