it was an absolute pleasure getting to meet you char-to-char!!! Lmao "I'm a guy," and thanks also for introducing me to Twitter :)

I had a blast at the Castle Wars event and I went to the skilling event beforehand, and for those who wanted a recap as to what went down, caveat in my opinion:

Skilling event a few hours before the CWars event was meh, got turned into baubles and upside-down Christmas socks at the end which was pretty cool. Found out that
Mod Shauny
IS SUPER FAST AT READING AND TYPING and I don't even know how he does it, but it was so cool!!! Definitely my favorite part; he would almost instantaneously respond to individual people by name, which was very personalized and meaningful, especially considering how quickly the chat was moving. I think I asked more than a few questions about how he did it, but he might just be *born with it* because unfortunately he didn't really elaborate.

Castle wars was a LOT of fun!! Castle wars is one of my favorite games, and having coming back to Runescape after a few years, I was dismayed that even on the world 24, the CWars world, it was difficult to get a genuine game going.

Everyone really seemed into the game, as in most people were actually participating and not sitting pretty tryna look cute, and everyone was so spirited! I know I'm missing people, but some people I saw running around and kicking butt included
Zeei (you "rock"!!), Moff Lax, Avatar, Keiren, Magical, I3lue, ELLI0T, Greig
, to name only a few!

!! moar exclamation marks cus I ran outta char space somehow~!!

Also, if you stalk Shauny's post profile, you don't really get a sense of his personality, but he's actually a riot in-game and had me laughing out loud at times. I witnessed only a few of his shenanigans, but here are some of the things he did while in Geobie form which are worthy of sharing:
- Was rooting for Zammy players despite being on the Sara team, lol traitor.
- Teleported to inside the other team's respawn room? Was that a misclick, or super sneaky reconnaissance, or what??
- Lmao THIS IS MY FAVE: Kept opening and closing the door to the Zammy castle when one of our teammates was trying to return home to score. The flag bearer (ah I forget who it was, sorry! Please respond if you remember) was like "wat" and literally didn't know what to do, as in his char was running back and forth between the small door and the larger doors, every time Shauny opened/closed the small door. "Noolio" was my favorite, which is what he exclaimed when he didn't want our team to pass through the door and score.
- Didn't rig the game so that his team was winning. Thank you for your honesty :)

The third and last game Shauny participated as a character who could attack and be attacked. I thought it'd be funny if I attacked him...but it ended up being a bad idea since he haunted me whenever I joined the carnage, despite my never having killed him..."Vivv" "Yes Moff? WAIT YOU'RE NOT---/dies"

But seriously, THAT TYPING SKILL + Shauny's style of encouragement = too entertaining!

I know Shauny seems lackluster based on his forum posts (okay, or at least that's what I thought of his three posts), but he's super cool in-game. Which means these events are a great way to have fun with the CM team at Jagex if you guys are free and can make it :)

Hey Shauny!

Maybe you could hint Mod MattHe to do a podcast (youtube vid with a demo could be even better) about JMod/PMod/player events. As an awareness raising campaign of sorts. Perhaps he could invite some of the most active organizers to talk about events.

- How to find info in the first place. Be specific as possible, give examples and encourage to spend time reading the posts to get oriented because events and competitions forum can be a jungle to the first timer not to mention all the fan sites out there.

- How to attend in general (joining fc, instances, coinshare etc.).

- General expectations/rules of conduct (familiars (overrides), cannons, clan avatars, vexillums etc.) if not specifically stated on event description.

- How (massive) boss masses differ from your normal solo / small group fights. The realities of possibility of getting a drop or a kill counter increase, lag and how things usually improve towards end of the event when some of the attendees leave.

- Types of events. Most popular events.

- Well known trusted organizers. Common sense.

- Valid reasons to take part (relax. it's okay to take a break from chasing xp and achievements because...) It's all about...

- Had a bad experience? Don't give up! There will be fun times.

- The art of hosting a successful event and about advertising your own events (encouraging words).

- Valid reasons why there isn't a single "Official Event Calendar" on the front page / companion app / in-game and things are how they are.

- And so on. You know - the works.

Why? Because I believe there is a potential mass of attendees out there whose only source of event info currently is that tiny i next to the game clock.
