Key/Character: OceanClouds / Hina Lam
Which Event: There and Back Again (The Illuminated Ritual of Rays)

Responsiveness: 5/5 - Every narrative was prompt - there were no delays! Each narration was also highly attentive to the RPs of the characters and very engaging!

Balance: 5/5 - The fights were a TON of fun! Mal really knows how to balance out his ECs according to the magics of the EC and the PCs in attendence. Every EC was very unique and fun to deal with, especially the Dragon 'Big Payback' and the Firebird. All fights in the event were rather difficult, but also unforgettable.

Storytelling: 5/5 - Wholesome event despite being HCoD. There was a lot of self reflection and acceptance for every character that joined (6). To rectify your sins and accept yourself. I love incentives like this, so the concept of the event was very motivating given the direction of my character, too. Very emotional as well, and spiritual! And, the fact that the Fox Avatar wedded Eivor and Hina was quite hilarious as well. I half expected it once we were teleported to that island, but when you made the narration? I was in tears and very much entertained by the whole thing.

Fairness: 5/5 - Everyone got something about of it, be it dev for their characters or items. For a highly religious event with hints of spiritualism and sin rectification, the rewards were appropriate. I hope everyone was able to have fun.

Overall: There's never a dull moment in a Mal event, honestly.


Miko getting her self acceptance RP was absolutely endearing, and I hope their player had a nice dev moment from it! Then, Eivor and Hina getting married was half expected once I saw the location in game, but when it did actually occur from the narration by the familial tenets of the Illuminated? I was amused and very content; it was wholesome, and they had close friends there to witness the little ceremony. Super wholesome.

Eivor trying to give Big Payback a hug was one of the funniest things I've ever encountered in any RP, but even funnier when Fire Bird spammed him in R1 of our last fight and called him a little bitch baby. I was in tears laughing my ass off.

This was probably one of the most memorable events I've ever had on this game. Thank you for running it and making it interesting, Mal! Keep it up!
