Character:
Odette Grimm
Which Event:
Into the Labyrinth
Responsiveness:
9.5/10. Event ran a little long, but almost entirely out of Why's hand's. The server mysteriously having some struggles, and us taking awhile to make one of the hardest decisions fucking ever. All told, the event went about 9-10 hours, which with all of that considered, feels quite good.
Balance:
8.5/10. Combats leaned a bit on the easy side, but were overall fun.
Storytelling:
10/10. This is the big one. The event's story was absolutely wonderful, and I had an insanely great time, even despite the intense levels of sleep deprivation I required to see it all through. I haven't suffered emotionally like this during an event in a long time. Made me quickly and deeply invested in every NPC that showed up, allowed the hopelessness to feel real without ever actually feeling like an indictement of our characters. It was a hopeless situation that had some hope because we were there, and it rang true. Wonderfully done.
Fairness:
Man.
I definitely came out the roughest from this event, narratively and mechanically. I emerged fucking brutalized, and that was the best possible outcome. And you know what? We came out having ""no deaths"" because of it. Because we played to the game, because we were given the chance to save our blunders. The consequences truly felt like something that only could have been what they were because I was who I was. I've never felt so personally responsible for the good that was done, and... wow.
It's really impossible to stress how painful it was emotionally, in all the best ways.
Top marks, genuinely. 10/10 because that's as high as numbers go, but I don't think that really expresses how much I loved this. And then the consequences that have followed thereafter? Fuck, man. So awesome.
Server Breaking:
0/10 didn't break any servers, unfortunately
Spelling:
10/10 didn't start making spelliing mistkaes towards the end
Overall:
I don't tend to like doing number ranks, but for the purpose of putting one in, I'll throw a 10/10. This may seem like the default to lots of people, but 10/10 is something I think genuinely needs to be earned and Why did it easily. The results of the event transpired in ways that truly felt like it was only possible because we were us - not as a party, but as a set of five specific characters who were there for this. Even still, I'm regularly in Why's DMs to talk about things, and I am constantly being humored. Before it, I talked a lot about my thoughts and ideas, and they were all genuinely and fully considered. I'm be terrified to go on more Why events, as I should be, and equally as excited.
Any other comments:
I have the worst and most challenging schedule to work with generally, and I was accommodated more than I'm generally used to. Genuinely, thank you so much for that. Both to you, and my fellow party members. It means so much to me <3
