    Finally getting to uploading part 4.
    Should be completed in a few minutes.
    The remaining time is being spent with one-on-one 'consulting' from masters and others playing D&D.
    Almost time to eat lunch and call this one a wrap.

    Great time was had by all.

    Thanks for sharing that @Lesni. It's always great to hear Richard discuss the game. Makes me wish I went.

    Yeah it was definitely a good time and I personally love seeing the pictures of each of these people above. the memories of the people are immensely more precious than the actual presentations themselves. glad to have met you all, and spent the time hanging out.

    I'll post pictures later as well.

    Someone mentioned a location to dump pictures. These forums are clunky since I have to go upload what I have to another location first and link them back. I'll do that when I get home unless someone has a better idea.

    Hey guys! What a great time!!! We had just over 50 people attending, not including the developers.


    A HUGE thank you for the attendees and speakers for making this so much fun... And to Tortoise & Hare and Relics by Rild for setting up shop!

    I'll take a week to recover then get a follow-up survey email sent. PLEASE RESPOND TO IT TIMELY ( cloak details will be included. )

    If you have any all-star pictures to share ( or all Starr??? Okay, punny pun is done.) please do! We are looking to collect a bunch of pictures and catalog them for memories.

    I just got home and have been thumbing through my pictures too. I took a lot of candid non-posed shots (that's kind of my thing). I'd be happy to share them with everyone. PLUS, I think Ezekiel took a picture of me in my costume - the only one I think. I'd like to send that to my step-sis who shipped me the costume from across the country for the occasion.

    Fun times. When is the next one???

    We should have one in Florida in the middle of summer and call it the SotA Sizzle. :D That would work in Texas, too, I suppose.

    For those of you who were concerned over my stolen iPhone, I have good news. When I reactivated my old phone and downloaded my data from the cloud, right after a photo of me and Lord British eating breakfast was a selfie of the thief right in the bathroom where I had left my phone. I sent the photo to the hotel management along with the address the phone was traced to, and viola, the management of the hotel has recovered it from an opportunistic former member of their staff. Thanks to all of your for your caring, concern, and for allowing me to borrow your phones while we were there!!!

    I reserve the right to repeat parts of this message.

    Anyone that has been reading messages from myself and others that went in the forum can easily conclude that our level of access was significant even though not one of exploited the opportunity.

    Everyone there was just a bunch of guys and gals having a good time together. We had no agenda and I don't recall anyone trying to influence any features even casually. Moreover the developers had the same demeanor.

    I was a lotm and flew to a private dinner with Richard and a very small group of other contributors at my level. This gathering was far better because it was not a staged event and there were no entitlements. If you paid to be there, you got unbridled access. Moreover you got access after everyone had a few drinks.

    I had a blunt private conversation with RG about COTOs, P2W and allowing gold selling. Good luck finding a better time to work out a major grievance.

    Hence, don't miss out in 2017! I am already trying to get my wife to let me fly to the next one.

    This lovely lady, Fionwyn Wyldermane, surprised us all with a remarkable ballad in the hospitality room.

    If you heard what we heard, the only question you would have is, "who got that on tape".

    Can't agree more!!! It was an honor to meet everyone and the atmosphere was outstanding! I have to say it was so exciting to head back to NY without @May Day clipping my wallet!!
    (Seriously happy about the phone May Day, the pictures it holds are everything as we discussed. A pleasure to meet you and look forward to protecting my carrot crop!)
