terryclothNames have been changed to protect the guilty.
I went to the Sunday gather today, and after some lunch and conversation, I ended up in a series of three and four-player magic games with, among other people (of course), Daniel, who was playing a 45-card deck with lots of Dark Rituals and Animate Deads.
It wasn't legal in any sort of tournament environment, for good reason! Half the time he got a Thorn Elemental out on turn 1, the other half he got the elemental and often one other creature out on turn 2 (he'd mulligan if he didn't have the cards he needed to do that in his opening hand). It was especially deadly because he forgot to have animate dead reduce the creature's power by 1.
Anyway, after that we headed over to Tim's place, which is a looong drive. 'We' here was about a dozen people, most of whom were openly, flamingly gay. So, after a big of the obligatory snuggling and playing around that happens every week, certain people went a little bit further.
Others got entirely naked and started writhing around on the floor.
Suprisingly, none of this included any of the people who you'd expect to get involved in this sort of thing, including Tim -- I thought he'd invited us all over specifically to participate in this sort of thing, I mean, given the way he constantly acts and all, but he spent most of the time in his room with his boyfriend surfing the web. Actually, that's not fair -- I asked him about it, and he said he was suprised by his lack of interest as well.
I mostly avoided... well, everything, although a couple times people snuck up behind me and pulled my pants down while I was chasing the guy who kept stealing my hat.
Afterwards, Sean (one of the people I wouldn't have expected to get involved, who had, a bit) was acting really uncertain and depressed, all the way home. I hope he's okay with it.
Oh! There's also a brand new 'Worst GM Ever' award to give out -- before all the nakedness, Tom ran a session of 'Mansion', apparently an attempt to combine the worst aspects of a LARP, freeform online role playing, pure hack-and-slash D+D, and Xxxenophile into one mind-bogglingly awful morass of fudge. Sample dialog: 'I am the GM, and I am god! I can do anything! YOU! You are now level 0 in everything, except for being a level 1 human. That puts you 2000 levels behind the starting characters.'
AND, Peter was SO the Devil -- not only does he *look* just like the devil, with his hair and little beard-like thing, but he was acting like an incredible sadist. Martin (they guy messing around with Sean) had horrible bite marks all over him from Peter's 'serrated teeth', and he was *really* picking on Sean and Lucas (the wolf who kept stealing my hat) far past the point of reason or civility.
