As everybody's doing it

[karohemd]

How did we meet, my friends? Or rather, how come I'm on your friends list if we haven't met in real life yet?
Let's see your sides of the story. ;o)

Malk T-Party '99. Or as Tim phrased it, "Stella Kyle's Leaving Do"

Some random Cam UK C/A Cambridge game if memory serves. Possibly Daylight Savings II.

My first Stratford Cam/Anarch game, November 1998.

Um, my first London Cam Anarch game, I was playing Hawthorne, you were Alucard, I was made Primogen as a political maneuver against Mr J and earned his eternal enmity. Happy days.

I think we might have met at one of the MM games originally. In fact I'm pretty sure we did.

However, the occasion I remember as the one upon which I met you was when I first attended a London Cam game.

You went out of your way to make us feel welcome. It was much appreciated.

Here.

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

I believe the latter is more likely.
I'm not sure if any of you SouthCoast lot were ever in Cambridge.

First I thought it would have been a Reading ling game but then I remembered that you don't play ling.

[ua-meruti.livejournal.com]

Actually I went to a load of Cambridge games so ner!
Malc and Ashra's wedding was a good one, though that wasn't the first one I went to.

A.N.Other LARP, but whether it was one of ours or one someone else was running, I don't remember at this distance. It might have been one of the Near Death Experience lot's.

[martinhesselius.livejournal.com]

An ICC, no?

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Yep, the wedding game would have been it, then.
Or the National in the same year?

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Last year's, yes. Outside the Toreador Art Show, I believe.
I know you weren't at ICC 2K1 because I had wanted to meet Corvus and never had a chance to. :o(

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

At a GenCon in Loughborough, three occasions. One of your LARPs, playing Munchausen with James Wallis and Ars Magica with David Chart the next day (with hilarious consequences: Tell us, Abbot, how [insert plot hook here]).

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Those were the times.
Hehe, and you were ginger. :oP

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Remember the alarm going off? That was me...

[ua-meruti.livejournal.com]

Nah, DSII was the first national or pseudo-national I did.

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Quite possibly.

You're quite welcome. :o)

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

That was your first game? Cool.

And yes, interesting times. :o)

[martinhesselius.livejournal.com]

::Nods::
Corvus was fun to play, but very, very hectic.
Will you be at this year's ICC?

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Yes, I will be, playing my Tremere bookworm again.

[bibliogirl.livejournal.com]

Ahhh yes. Hmm, Baron Ars Magica... "Tell us, Baron, how you managed to use an Intellego Vim incantation to escape from the lunatic washerwomen of Castle Bathyscope..."

[martinhesselius.livejournal.com]

Excellent -
I look forward to saying hi (if I make it as planned)!

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Same here. Hope you make it.

Erin's leaving do Dec. 2001

London C/A March of this year. I remember that you were the one with the camera, but I can't directly recall how we were introduced.

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

I came up to you, waved and said "Hi Jess!".
You asked "Who are you?" ;o)

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

*nods*
I remember the chat on the long walk home from EB.

[riksowden.livejournal.com]

Erm, think you're likely right and was a London game...

[whiskeylover.livejournal.com]

online because you were on andrewdavies's friends list and sent me an LJ code to sign up, RL at Andy's birthday dinner in Cambridge (and that hasn't prompted me to remove you yet...)

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Good, because sometimes my real life presence scares people. ;o)
