Bella and I were brutally parted by a premature train change. And will be taking the world by storm before long.

Great meet, lovely to see you all again!

CDB and I are staying in Nottingham with Fen/CES until the end of the week, but I'd be up for modding an invitational when I get back home.

One idea I was thinking of would be running a setup similar to something we did at a previous mini-meet here: Have a list of abilities, for example:

1) One shot vig
2) Tracker
3) Roleblocker
4) One shot commuter
5) VT

The list needs to match the number of players in the game. Pregame the scumteam get to determine a drafting order for the players, who will then pick their role from the list, in drafting order. Then you have a normal game of mafia, except that everyone's ability is known. Would people be up for playing that?

I'll play anything for an invitational.

I had another amazing time with everyone at the meet; thank you all so much for coming. I will post photos when I get back from
being held prisoner in Fences' board game dungeon
helping out voluntarily at Nationals.

The murder mystery was epic, most fun i've had in a while.

Especially asking people really nicely for just a bit of their blood.

And Nexus getting stabbed because he couldn't remember his backstory.

And quoting Irene Adler at Myko (I am clearly made to be a wench!)

Thanks to everyone for making that such an enjoyable evening.

Spoiler: photos!
Image

Our hero arrived mid afternoon on Friday. The weather is beautiful. Scum needs to be caught.

Image

Settling down for a Greater Idea Mafia game, our hero creates a townbloc. (L-R, Porochaz, ChannelDelibird, Primate, Nexus)

Image

Meanwhile, the obvscum turbo lynch a townie. (L-R, CES, Max, Fenchurch)

Image

The Newbie tries to talk his way out. (L-R, Fenchurch, Chris [Primate's irl friend], Patrick, Porochaz)

Image

Fenchurch is persuaded. Max is unmoved.

Image

Patrick becomes exasperated when people don't listen to him.

Image

Nexus' death hits mykonian hard. The rest of the group are indifferent.

Image

!mod CDB sorting out those pesky night actions

Image

We had a murder mystery. I got rid of my curse. We didn't find the treasure but Fenchurch took pity on us.

Image

BSG before the massacre.

Image

A sedate game of Mai Star

Image

An outdoor game of Pandemic Contagion

Image

Let us remember the brave goblins who sacrificed themselves to help throw a cider fuelled party.

Image

More sunshine.

This was eastermeet,

Spoiler:
Image
where robots found their doom.

Image
where good food was had!

Image
where Esmeralda found "true love", and sister Agnes lost the love of her life to brutish seamen.

Image
where keyflower was enjoyed by all!

Image
where Patrick thought deeply and Shanba intuitively found the edge (of one point).

Image
where the town wasn't big enough for the four of them, so CDB chased them out.

Image
where we killed the world.

Image
where cylons crushed humans.

Image
where Fenchurch introduced poor and defenseless newbies to a fun game of acquire by showcasing stockmarket fitting coldheartedness! ;)

Image
where everybody was saved from the flames... except the cat :(

Image
where one wondered why these humans keep trying.

Image
and keyflower was still enjoyed!

Wasn't there a thing where you were my friend but hated the guy who I was impersonating and interpreted that as hating me? And then told Myko who I was so he went and stabbed me.

Spoiler: Photos!
Image
We're ba-aaaaaack!

Image
After going elsewhere last year, it's delightful to be back in 'our' cabins.

Image
SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT TABLE LAYOUT OMG

Image
swanky new seating situation

Image
CES takes brave meet newbie Chris (the artist formerly known as cpol for all you oldies out there) through the somewhat intimidating Greater Idea deck.

Image
Patrick is taught Hive by Myko.

Image
On Saturday, there's a Game of Thrones LCG draft! I forgot to take a photo of the 'before' but the table was entirely covered with cards.

Image
also some chairs

Image
Chris and Patrick try to build something viable out of their drafts.

Image
Myko builds his ILLEGAL DECK tsk tsk

Image
Patrick's Tyrell/Watch takes Myko's Greyjoy/Stag to the cleaners.

Image
Meanwhile, Primate and Chris have built the day's only good decks.

Image
Chris and Erik size each other up in a game of mafia.

Image
Patrick stands firm under Myko's scrutiny.

Image
Erik and Shanba enjoy the luxurious new couch.

Image
Bellaphant arrives, hooray! Also Legendary is happening.

Image
It's our most packed day of the meet as we start on the barbecue.

Image
Fences oversee the veg options.

Image
Our head chefs.

Image
There are crashes aplenty in Robo Rally, meanwhile.

Image
Max and Bella chillin' with some foods.

Image
Before we can get to the murder mystery, we have the now-traditional poker tournament.

Image
When each player gets eliminated, they go to get changed. Nexus returns in costume to oversee the final showdown.

I somehow forgot to take any pictures during the murder mystery but I did get this just afterwards...

Image
NEXUS
FOUND
WAS GIVEN THE TREASURE

Image
Sunday brings some meatier games to the table. It's Keyflower!

Image
Brass becomes a big hit with a subset of the meet (not pictured: game taking four hours).

Image
Patrick and Erik help Fences to test games for Nationals. (Pandemic Contagion)

Image
Some people apparently won games of Fuse but I don't believe them.

Image
The tension draws a crowd.

Image
Our first game of Battlestar Galactica. Leoben!Shanba enjoys fucking with our Destiny.

Image
Things, uh... things don't go well for the humans.

Image
Happier times, when two Cylons were in the brig.

Image
A beefy game of Acquire breaks out.

Image
Nexus springs into action in Love Letter.

Image
Our not-on-Sunday Sunday roast being prepared!

Image
il maestro

Image
This thing was a frakking triumph.

Image
Dan, Fenchurch, Erik and Primate struggle bravely against Ghost Stories.

Image
Prozac confronts the depth of his fucked-ness in Keyflower.

Image
The quest for the perfect Dominion setup for Nationals continues.

Image
The final day! We take a shortcut to the minigolf.

Image
Erik navigates the odd terrain.

Image
Dan tries to get out of an egg.

Image
The bunny of towniness shows up to mock Prozac with its unattainability.

Image
Erik is one of many who try desperately to make the obstacle actually worth attempting.

Image
Fenchurch maintains a staunch commitment to obstacle engagement over efficiency throughout.

Image
Someone stole the third snake's head.

Image
Erik wraps up a close victory over CDB.

Image
This hole was a bloodbath.

Image
Primate learns from Prozac's mistake as he goes on to find the elusive superior path through this final hole.

Image
Dan confronts the tricky raised ground of the last hole.

Image
CDB, Prozac and Primate draw all over the Railway Rivals board (which proves to be a surprisingly great roll-and-move game!).

Image
CDB's Game of Thrones-themed Upick night results get weird.

Image
Image
Image
Patrick plays Bandu: a story in three parts.

Image
I asked for smiles. Thanks for a great meet, everyone.

Image
OH SHIT IT'S THE SECRET MEET AFTER THE CREDITS, PATRICK AND I ARE HANGING WITH EEVEE (AND FENCES I GUESS) IN NOTTINGHAM

Image
CES absolutely DESTROYS the Suburbia scoring system.

Image
cat cat cat cat cat

Image
This was my week, y'all. cat cat cat

Image
CES and Patrick stand ready to assist with volunteer duties on the Friday of Nationals.

Image
My grandmother demanded that somebody take a photo of me, so

Image
I took this board game/LARP equipment vendor by surprise!

Image
Fences' horde of volunteers set up the board games on Saturday morning.

Image
Our rota
almost
works...

Image
Our secret den for Avalon, Ugg-tect and, oh, yes - something called Werewolf.

Image
The little hidey-hole in the corner playing host to Pandemic Contagion.

Image
Thanks to Fences for having us as part of Nationals! It was tiring but so much fun.

As you can tell from the above, I finally got a bit of spare time after coming back from Nottingham and so I'll just take the opportunity to once again thank everyone who came to our fifth Eastermeet! It's always such a pleasure to spend time with you all, in this little corner of the world that feels kinda like our home away from home. You know how much I love you all by now.

To anyone who's not been before and is considering coming next year: please do it! I adore my UK scummers family but we are always, always thrilled to get to know new faces (or get another glimpse at some we've seen before when across the pond!). As long as 'being nice to people who are nice to you right back' is something you're into, then there's a seat waiting for you at one of our Greater Idea games.

Can I say, as a relatively newbie, how awesome this crowd are? From mini meet in Notts, where fences could not have been more helpful and welcoming, to chats at the station, everything Nexus does (love you) and how easily people welcomed me and made me feel comfortable straight away, even when I'm talking about scandalous things on the way to buy booze. Plus my lovely murder mystery posse, who made my night.

Even people I'd not really interacted with, like Eric <3

Love you all.
