Re: Events post #261: The return of Varach Scolrys
I'm also chiming in here with a best-of! We tried to keep track of a bunch of things that happened with this one, and thought that it'd make for a funny/interesting look at afterward. I poured over as many of the logs as I could, and so..
Their first Cursemotes:
Tirria -> Zenobia with a pat on the shoulder
Tina -> Zenobia with a peck on the cheek
Lilein -> Kanivara with a hug
Mjoll -> Tetchta with an excited shoulder grab + shake
First non-event cursed person at midnight roll: Tetchta
Total number of cursed by the end of the event: 148
Most popular method of cursing: Hugs. You monsters. There were exactly 100 cursemotes using hugs as the method of delivery. Second place was a pat, typically on the shoulder, with approximately 80 cursemotes going that route.
First person to attempt to curse DIDI: Archelaus, WITH A HUG.
First attempt to cursemote a god:
Emote from Zenobia: inclines towards $Ivoln, her tail flicking wildly enough she accidentally makes contact with him
..followed exactly 4 minutes later by:
Emote from Archelaus: rushes in, bumping into $Ivoln. The imp gasps in surprise before lowering his head reverently.
Ivoln, unfortunately, was not cursed.
That very same day, Tetchta stumbled into Omei via cursemote, followed by Axius daring to place a hand on Iosyne's leg only minutes later in an attempt to do the same.
Severn presumably used artifice to not get cursemoted a single time.
November 16th: The day Didi was successfully cursed
First person from the Spirit Tether to be cursed: Melantha
Most cursemotes:
Archelaus: 39
Mjoll: 33
Fezzix: 30
Most cursemote attempts made via sneaking cookies to people: Aolin, with 9 attempts.
First person to cure themselves via delivering their accumulated curse: Gyana
Players that ultimately died for not delivering their curse power to Varach: Azarae, Jarrhn, Jezreth, Tina, Menelaus, Rurthina, Legyn, and Zenobia

Re: Announce post #3143: Cursed Event
Bump. I know that in the 2020 manifesto there's big goals for January, but this event finished well over a month ago. Where we at with the rewards fam?

Re: RL Struggles, Strife, and Sadnesses
I started working in my county's Covid vaccination clinics eat the beginning of the month. Up until today, the hardest parts were the fact that they were long (12-14 hours) and involved different physical things than I've been used to doing up until now.
Sometime between my last clinic and the one today, the county opened up registration for vaccines to include people 65 and over as well as people with high-risk medical conditions, which is estimated to be around 40% of our entire adult population. We already know that people will be on waiting lists for weeks, but we're in the same position as almost every other place - there just aren't enough vaccine doses yet.
So today I was doing the "greeter" position, which included verifying that everyone going into the area had gotten a text saying that they could come inside for their appointment. (Or figuring out why they hadn't gotten the text, helping with translators, etc.) Part way through, an older man came up and said that he didn't have an appointment, but that he'd been through the registration, put on the wait list, and was just trying to see if there was any way we could fit him in because he was 71 and had high-risk conditions. I had to sit and watch for close to an hour while my supervisor, and then hers, and then two people from the registration phone line, all talked to him to see if he had any other options. It was really obvious from watching and listening that he was just desperate because he knew how dangerous it would be for him to get sick, but there was literally nothing else I could do.
I know this is far from an isolated case, but something about seeing and really feeling that sense of helplessness over the whole situation really hit me hard. I hope things end up working out for him somehow.
An edit here after a glass of wine: What happened might literally have been something that was a life or death thing for another human being, and I really couldn't do anything about it. I, and the people I've been working with, are all just doing the best we can with what we have, and we know it's not enough for everyone. Unicorns Covid.
