Character: Loramelian
Event: The Church of Broken Skin
Responsiveness: Damn you were FAST with your long, beautiful narrates, and more importantly you always took into account whatever we wanted to do, no matter how ransom and how ridiculous. A+ for figuring out how to work with Janus deciding to make a cursed Church sandwich on the fly, and it was also VERY cool how you worked with and accommodated the idea of the inversion rune live at the end. 10/10!
Balance: 9/10. Obviously the msurge round was crazy, and I actually think you could have punished us a little more in a few of those fights (though maybe not, I think Ansel was just our MVP of group protection). I'd have enjoyed seeing some slightly more variable patterns between bosses, too. But I DID love your boss patterns in general, and also that you didn't generally include the insta-death traps I'm used to going down to at LEAST once in most events. I actually felt like I earned my downs/survivals this time and it was probably the most efficacious I've ever felt while fighting in this game, so that was very cool. (ME? TWO BOSS FINISHES?) So overall I think this was really, really good.
Storytelling: 11/10. I don't even feel bad blowing the scale on this one. Incredible narrates with beautiful, fascinating, gory detail; a cool story in which I was invested and intrigued by the whole way through; and the best Dark Souls-esque boss names imaginable. The way it all linked into our different stories and motives was amazing, too.
Fairness: 10/10. Very generous rewards, but we did make it through 3 best of 3s and one best of 5 (!) with plenty of blood shed over 12 hours, so you made us work for them - and everybody got a similar level of awesome consideration. And holy shit. Holy shit. The items are SO interesting and relevant to everyone's IC.
Overall: i realize scale inflation is a thing but I have to give this a 10/10 anyway because this was seriously -excellent-. The exact creepy, spooky ambience I wanted and then all kinds of twists and turns I didn't see coming. I've been struggling of late but this really upped my enthusiasm and gave me so many RP leads to follow, it's such a lovely gift to feel invigorated again.
Other comments: I don't want to add to GSM's event backlog but y'all this is the fucking PREMIUM EXPERIENCE.
