I see no one has officially started the Gates breakdown, so here I am bright and early this morning with donuts and coffee. I wanna hear your best and worst Gates stories. Epic battles! Epic partying! Epic friendships! Let's hear it.
Mehran's Favorite Points: --Eldrin and Ilyia's in-character wedding --Getting slapped by Solusar as a "hello!" --My Conan picture with Skeith --Sparring with my "son", Maaco, and teaching him what I know --Becoming Sir Logan "Effing" Moore's squire (hellz yeah!) --AWESOME castle battles on Saturday -- Thanks Gump! --Fabulous Mordor parties, as always. --My first event where I am 21 = heap fun time --My tambourine broke in a great way, and I actually like it more --Purchasing a $10 corset that's beautiful and fits like a glove --The knowledge that Shatterhaze broke the curse on the Sword and seeing that in action (it so tried to rain, but couldn't.) --Spending time with the Lyonesse family and getting to know folks like Amun Ra and Allegra, Sven and Lisa, and other neat-o people.
Things I have that aren't mine from Gates: Sir Logan Moore -- boots, tiki torch fuel, lantern fuel Drunken Bob -- A Drunken Bob's Fan Club fan
Things I'm missing from Gates: I don't even know yet.
Keep it rolling!

Personally I would like to thank Petal and her crew for the kindness they showed me during my little stint in Mordor Friday night, you ladies truly rock!

--The knowledge that Shatterhaze broke the curse on the Sword and seeing that in action (it so tried to rain, but couldn't.) Wait, you mean that Elven Magic really does work! I have a re-newed belief in elves now.
