There was an event.

RIP, undead Mabigail. Those zombies really did just turn up out of nowhere. Also, the other factions are foolish, and don't seem to realise that humans are not green. And that all sashes are not alike. And that having a Greater Corporealist behind your lines is a GOOD thing when they're on your side. Shivvy, shivvy.
Now I am playing a dark elf shaman, and am trying to decide whether to stick with the stats I picked at the end of the event and take a vet. pick, or re-gen as a twenty-point character with the same name next year. I could get the poison lore skills, which could be cool and relevant and just as potentially useless. Even though I am fairly attached to what I planned for this character, I may not have the mental fortification for it right at the moment. Making unpopular choices is wearing, so I'm not sure I can do the 'dark-elf' thing at the same time as the 'That Particular Skill-Set' thing. If I'm hiding the skills I've picked so that I don't get questioned and given the same advice over and over, then I'm going to end up not using the skill and so actually 'wasting the points', even if I could use the skill for small benefits otherwise.
Wah, first character death in CP. It's just about got comfortable and expected, turning up in the Jhereg camp, kitting up, greening up, and sleeping green at the end of the night. This time I was even able to stay time-in for the whole event (except for an hour and a half spent lying down in the First Aid tent after I started shaking during our monster slot - that's another thing: I managed to monster! I haven't done that properly since my first event). I know people, I can stay IC pretty much full time. I can't do that with the new character yet - one thing is the pitching my voice quiet, but then getting a little frustrated when people can't hear me. I think I need to do the opposite: work out how to pitch my voice so that I'm heard, and then make an audible effort to be speaking quietly. I don't want to whisper full time, though. *ponders*
Apparently the Jhereg were one of the factions best off after that bloodbath, though - we lost a few significant people, and a fair number of Irregulars, but we didn't get rolled like a couple of others. And we're small to begin with. Previous to this event, we were the second smallest of the groups present. Now... I'm not so sure.
Also, I had a moment while monstering that made me go 'yeah, I'm in the right faction'. I was playing something that was immune to Shamanic magic, and we got told that if the players tried to interogate us, to call a ref over. I come out with 'but if we're immune-shaman, how can they speak-with-dead us?' It took one of the other monsters to point out that they could heal us to do an interogation. *facepalm* And this was when I was still playing someone who considering healing to be her most useful skill!
*
Tomorrow, I shall be vanishing off for another event! This should be even more familar and so happy, even if the spectre of OMG!failure does hang overhead for the moment I'm not looking the right way or saying the right thing or in the right mood. I should re-read my religious literature. *gulp* And learn my spells. And remember how to hold five different numbers in my head at once.
