Confusion

Saturday was Confusion. I didn’t make it to the first round. Cause I’m slack and didn’t get outta bed. Not really my fault as I was in bed at 2.30am the night before. =P
I barely made it to the second round as well. =P But I made it. A couple of people were playing some kind of card game that involved pointing orange guns at each others. *lol* Very funny to watch.

I signed up for Malcolm’s Traveller game which was the only one that still had spots available.
Only James Plunket had signed up before me.
In  the end, I knew all the players except for the girl, Sophie. Cause Anarchangel signed up for it as well and Nick Cole too.
So we were five players and the GM.

Setting was a space ship trip where nothing really could happen. *lol* As always.
Sophie played the 1st officer, I was the 2nd officer and the chief engineer, James was the 3rd officer and the security chief, Nick was the doctor and Hamish was the engineer.
Game was quite loud and interacive. Malcolm was shaking the tables when the ship got wrecked and stuff like that.
Sophie did an awesome job as the 1st officer. Her announcements over the communication system were legend.
Hamish and I were put out of the game for too long for our taste though. We were supposed to go on a space walk to repair stuff on the engines and preparing for going out there took way too long. =S

The end was funny though. Hamish had to find out that I’m a dick and about to abandon the ship to save my own life. *gg* Somehow other crew members with guns found out and I thought I will die in a horrible hail of bullets. BUT a crew member made one crucial mistake. He was pointing the gun at me saying “I believe that officers should go down with their ship.” And BANG! got shot by James cause he’s the 3rd officer and thus would have been next in line. *LOL* So I made it. I was on the life boat. *gg* But yeah, the ship went down, the 1st officer, the doctor and the engineer plus a lot of passengers died in a horrible crash.
And the rest will probably go to prison for their actions. =)
I was very tired after that. Got some veggie asian food and tried to decide if I’m gonna roleplay, if I’m gonna boardgame or if I should go home and get some sleep for the party that night as Sam and Naomi were doing.
I nearly decided to stay and boardgame…but then I thought about how much I wanted one offs…and I signed up for a Shadowrun game.
Grant’s Shadowrun game consisted of me, Nick Cole and three people I’ve never gamed with before: Ben, Liam and Katrina.
Ben, Katrina and me didn’t have characters so we used provided ones. I choose a smuggler which had cars, safe houses and guns.
I don’t think I roleplayed much in that game cause I was tired and Shadowrun is different from what I’m normally used to.
But we didn’t have to roll many dice anyway.
Story was nice cause it was pretty un-shadowrun-y, I guess. We stole a talking panda bear which was just sooooooooo cute. Grant did a great job with impersonating the panda. It was scared and it was hungry and it loved the kids’s channel in telly…*LOL*

We were finished with the game at about quarter to nine and Nasia told us that we’re basically the last people who were still there. All the others were finished already. I talked a bit to Grant and Ben afterwards which was nice. Maybe I should try to get a shadowrun game in Germany.
I asked around a bit if anyone who’s still there would go to Naomi’s party so I could maybe tag along. First I had the impression everybody who wanted to go there had already left. Ben seemed interested in going but didn’t know anyone or where it was. Katrina wanted to go home first to change and Nasia and Nick were just plain tired.
Finally I found Mike who was going AND knew the way…and Liam was nice enough to give the three of us a lift. =)

I would have liked to catch up with some more people I’m not sure I would get to see during my time here but I only talked briefly to Paul and missed Mash completely somehow.
