Here's some screenies from last night....

[Zannon]

I'll post an in-character story and an out of character re-cap later. These are just some teasers for people who weren't there (I have more shots of the battle). Thanks to everyone who could make it...there's a lot more to come:)

When I walked out of the City hall for hte first time...


X'an and Zannon...fighting for our lives...


Me dyin'....as usual...


Taking the town back...


I had a great time!! I hope you all did too!!

Special thanks to the folks from Lost City...they really made the whole thing come together.

[Jabe Adaks]

I had an awesome time. Great event Zannon.

[Zannon]

It's only just the beginning 8-)

Anyway...I like how the battle droid gave Skarr a shot to the beans and made him puke!!

[Ekade]

It was fun seeing you guys. Thanks for letting me tag along.

I should have done a better job in coming up with an IC reason to be there. This probably would have given some of you a context with which to interact with me.

Sorry about that... I will try to do a better job for next time.

[Seret Sajet]

Absolutely, positively one of the best times I've had playing this game. I'm not trying to hype this too much but I really enjoyed that part of the event. I look forward to the rest.

I've created a section of the server for event pics. You can view all the pics that zannon took last night here...

Awesome job man, keep it up and no one on the server will hold a candle to our town's events (but they'll sure want to join in and have fun)!

[X'an Shin]

Great shots!

I was having a wonderful time being "drunk" in the Cantina. And really folks, if you read Zannon's Part I and II of the birth of Nocturnus, you'd know I'd never really get drunk.

I think Curse finally figured it out when I said "I may be drunk, but I'm shtill a shmuggler."

I think it's funny that Sti-Fi seemed to get upset that the Mayor was that hammered. What can I say? X'an has a love of Brandy after fighting and dying.

[Seret Sajet]

I'm glad it ended with us in the cantina just letting lose. I was a little out of character for the drunk part. In truth Seret doesn't drink, at all. I should of played it that way but I wanted to have a few laughs.

I tried to establish as much hospitality towards Lost City folks so when it comes to RP we don't just have a stale commerce and defense relationship. I think it worked out well with Zannon showing sympathy to Dwi and Seret setting the ill Sti-Fi stay at Ruby's for no charge. I also wanted to make sure we weren't shooting down Curse's hypothesis even though most of us don't believe it. A strong relationship with the characters in Lost means we have a broader spectrum of people we can trust for events. That equals more fun.

[Skarr]

I'm trying to get my vcr hooked up to my comp as a 2nd display (need an adapter I gotta go pick up) so for the next event, we can have full video of the event...the only prob is my new video card isn't VIVO so I can't convert them to a mpeg or whatever, but someone else could...unless I can find a cheap PCI card with vivo

[Seret Sajet]

Talk to Tensonic. He's the video cap mofuggin' master. :-D

[Skarr]

Talk to Tensonic. He's the video cap mofuggin' master. :-D

yeah my gf4 card I could do VIVO because the s video port was a 9 pin port, and I thought my 5950 was a 9 pin as well, but it's a 4 pin, so it can only do video out, not in....

so my only options are to find a vid card that goes in a PCI slot with vivo (none on newegg.com so I think I'm screwed) or build a comp with my old card (time consuming and not quite enough parts) or fedex the tape to someone that can (not timely but I do get a 75% discount at fedex)

[Skarr]

whoops spoke to soon, there are some tv tuner cards that can capture video...

[Jotun]

I also happen to have FRAPS and it does a good job...

[Skarr]

I also happen to have FRAPS and it does a good job...

I'm tryin g to get it to work, and have been testing it with bfv (cuz i can find action right away) and it keeps crashing on me...

also is there any way to run fraps NOT on the admin account, it won't work with any other logins...

[Jotun]

Not sure...Lemme see if I can PM you my serial number and you can run it in badass mode...

[Trayuse]

Hey. Sorry for not being able to hand around once the shooting started. A couple of seconds after the droids spawned, I crashed. Then, when I tried to log back on, the game kept crashing as soon as it started to load. I figured out about 2 hours later that my video card gave out and couldn't handle anything more than my OS. I needed a new one anyway, I just wish it had waited to give up on me.
