I want to say a MASSIVE thanks to everyone who put in the long hours to make this Maragon, GW's biggest community event, run as smoothly as it did. Thanks to all the Riddle writers, they were fantastic, some of them were very clever Content

, and thanks to all the KISS members who acted as judges, for being patient when things didn't go to plan, and for taking the job seriously.

Also, congratulations to the winners of the solo prizes, and thankyou to all the PuGs that stuck around all weekend, I hope you keep in touch for future KISS events.

Finally, thankyou James for running KISS for 4 years. I think you deserve a rest after such a long weekend... Zzzz...

(also thanks for the clockwork scythe Very Happy

)

First off l'ld like to say that the event was epic, nothing to complain about *thumbs up*
and thank EVERYONE that made this event possible, all Hosts, our Dear James and Persons that contributed to this event in any way!

Probably the only issue l experienced was that it was all in 2 days and cos of my timezone l wasn't able to attend all 4 campaigns.
l'm sure that l wasn't the only one tho. :P ...So maybe the next "Maragon", perhaps for the 5th BD of KISS the event could be prolonged, l mean 1 campaign per day or Factions and Eotn on the same cos they're shorter than other 2. Well that's just my thought, tho l think you went throught the event's lenght several times.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What was your favourate campaign?
Prophecies

What was your favourate riddle?
l love riddles, as many as l was participating in l have to say Sam's one was my favourite

Ye, on NF one.. quite much

Did you have fun with the rules?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What was your favorite campaign?
Prophecies, it ran the smoothest and my team was great Content

What was your favorite riddle?
either the factions Solo riddle, or NF riddle #6, or Proph riddle #1, as our team ran from Bergen hot springs to Temple of Ages before realising it was wrong Silly?

Was it easy?
The noob areas were easy to run, but the difficulty curve was perfect, as by the end I spent more time dead then I did running Very Happy

Did you get stuck on the solo riddles?
Yeah, I didn't get a single item in EotN. but Factions was the most frustrating, as I had all the items, but didn't think to go to the french district. Also, I never realised LA had a lighthouse Confused

Did you have fun with the rules?
the 50/50 rule was frustrating at times, but it was definatly fun, due to the challenge of it.

Was your team having fun (including the pug)?
As far as I could tell, yes. The all participated in working out the riddles, and running, and none of them complained (much Content

).

If you could thank anyone personally who would it be?
The PuGs that stayed on for the majority of the event. A few of them even ended up completing the run for my team.

Would you like to see another event like this?
Most definatly. It was fantastic fun, but I think we all need a rest first Zzzz...

Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2010 10:28 pm Post subject: Re: A Maragon Thanks 2010.

Prophecies cause that used to be the only campaign i had and i beat it atleast 10 times lol

Proph riddle # 9- (beacons to war camp)

was it easy- some were easy some were crazy hard

i got stuck a bunch of times in solo riddles lol. i thought i had it for sure in Proph cause i know so much about it from beating it like 10 times... but i had no idea the last part of the riddle(where u hand in items) indicated LA whatsoever O_O.

ya i had fun with rules but sometimes finding pugs was difficult

i would thank all event hosts and everyone =D

yes i want to see another event like this NAO!!! xD. But seriously the district parts of the riddles were so confusing but i will be ready next time o.o Very Happy

Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2010 11:32 pm Post subject: Re: A Maragon Thanks 2010.

Might as well get in on this, what've we got here.

What was your favorite campaign?
Prophecies hands down. Admittedly I didn't do Elona or too much of Cantha i recall. But Prophecies with Nickypoos, Average Mike and Great Dwarf Armor guy was just crazy fun and our team kicked ass so there. First place in the Half droks run ftw!

What was your favorite riddle?
Beacons Perch to War Camp (Or half droks run as we called it). Just a crazy run, people dying all over the place (except for the pro runners of course, so jealous of that sheer talent :<so>< Always sucks to miss out on a Dhuum Scythe because youre a bit blind! But cant complain about 10e.
So yeah, either fairly easy or just ridiculous! Ack.

Did you have fun with the rules?
Didn't really notice them much. Never needed to worry about the skill bans and didn't take much notice of the effect of the 50/50 except making me look a little frisky, which was quite fun ill admit. Was also nice that the rules had to be taken off one of the riddles after we'd already run it! More bragging ftw Smile

(Why im bragging I dont know as I was dead for half that run!)

Was your team having fun (including the pug)?
Certainly were! Groups that stick out were Bryces/Zodiaks group in the later Factions riddles I joined him for which was a lot of fun, great group had a good laugh. And obviously the group I already mentioned with Great Dwarf Armor guy! Everyone was having a good laugh racing each other and the pugs were definitely into it too. Only pug that really sticks out for me was one we picked up in Rata Sum to Tarnished Haven, only there for a free run and maybe a random prize at the end but seemed to enjoy laughing at everyone dying horribly on the run, found that as hard as the hard mode run! Got a few wipes in there :p How embarassing. Think the fun of it was mainly down to who you were with though, too many douches spoil the broth!

If you could thank anyone personally who would it be?
If your asking for one person thats gonna be impossible!
Prize giver outers obviously! Stina for yet again spending her whole weekend sat around giving us free stuff while we were having a blast, massive thankyou there. Obviously Rich, Julie, James, Tom, Barry?, anyone else for tackling the long, long hours just to fill our purses, big thanks.
The planners, might miss people here but from who I know, Sammy, Le Anna, Sekh, Kate, Barry, Tom, Julie, Rich and Mr James himself for putting months of hard work into that amazing weekend from the riddles, testing the runs, the cleverer rules and general planning to the video, art and other promoting and everything else you did: Absolutely amazing job all round! Bravo.
The groups: Gotta thank the judges I was with, doubt I can remember them all but Mark, Ray, Bryce, Nick, Nat, Julie, James and everyone else. And mainly a huge thanks to everyone who made it so enjoyable, Bryce, Average Mike and Great Dwarf Armor guy for giving a lot of good laughs, Nicky for being way too good at running (just trying to keep up was a blast!) and everyone else I was with, feel lucky I never had to witness an episode of Runners behaving badly and everyone was just having a smashing good time.
Though I suppose the biggest thankyou should go to James for providing us with another amazing year of KISS and an amazing maragon to show for it. God only knows what we'd do without you!

Would you like to see another event like this?
Nah think I'm evented out. I'll just go take a good lie down! But seriously these events keep getting better so I can only look forward to what the next year of KISS brings and hope I get front row seats Very Happy

What was your favorite campaign?
Goodness. I probably liked factions the best. Usually end up dead in the dirt either way, but being face-down in the jade sea was a good change. I think it was my favorite because I think for the first 4 riddles we were playing catch-up with everyone else and i think after running between shing jea monastery and ran-musu x3, we never gave up :T even if the location B door locked us out x_x.

What was your favorite riddle?
Sad to say, but the beacons to deldrimor war camp one. I think i was the first one to solve this in my party Smile

After 1 day of maragon, it proved my brain still worked!

Was it easy?
*cricket*

Did you get stuck on the solo riddles?
not stuck...kinda meh..stuck.

Did you have fun with the rules?
Yep!

Was your team having fun (including the pug)? Maybe too much fun O.O

If you could thank anyone personally who would it be? Wow so many people, I don't know who to thank! *ugly cry* I'd like to thank all the event organizers and donators. Gosh, the people who created the video, and the riddles, and the rhymes, the dialogue at each outpost! All the competitors and judges! All the PUGs! ***Academy award music starts playing in background**** Oh gosh, the music's starting :o I'd just like to thank all the people who made this possible! My mom and dad for making me -_- eek. And the good people at Starbucks for still serving me even though I had that crazy look in my eye o_O

Would you like to see another event like this?
uh huh
