Farewell Brenda

Oh yes this one she will miss you. Also your lovely booze.

Dearest Brenda Khajiit has a few ideas for next year - if you are quite mad enough to do the job again. Khajiit now she understand why the mead it is needed.

Firstly Khajiit she enjoyed the throwing of the mudballs very much - this one she will never tire of this! Khajiit wonders though if perhaps other things they can be thrown also? Fish and pies and stale beer perhaps?

The Snow Bear Plunge. Again most refreshing, although sometimes this one she wonders if she was shivering with the cold or at the sight of those hardly dressed Nords! Oh the whiskers they tingle uncomfortably at the memory.

The fishing. Always a delight to see others partake in the traditional activity of Fishmas. Though this one she thought Argonians usually preferred the bugs yes? Perhaps next time make us catch torchbugs? Also instead perhaps of getting some used bait a few normal fish could be caught instead?

The five clawed thingy. No problem at all for Khajiit. A little trouble for the apprentices though who have not worked on their lockpicking so much. The mage girl could not complete it at all and just ended up skipping it each day.

The orphans thing. To travel all the way to bitey elf land just to give the man 69 coins? Perhaps next year he could arrange for us to pay by the debit that is direct perhaps and save the travel?

Dancing - always a pleasure!

The castle entertaining. Fine once it was understood that only one of two travellers could perform at the same time. Khajiit hopes perhaps next time for an eternal firebreathing bag in the style of the mudball bag perhaps next time.

The orc food binge. So devastating for the poor, poor wildlife of Betnikh! Otherwise fine, although some they had trouble knowing to use the napkin in the backpack in order to belch loudly in the company of others.

No quest for the Imperials? Khajiit knows some who were disappointed with this. How do we make peace with the grumpy toga wearers if we do not include them in Nord Fishmas yes?

The rewards - most enjoyable and dropped at a rate frequent enough so Khajiit was able to share, without charge, some of them with others. Perhaps the rate of the yellow recipe it was too low and that made it difficult for some to get the achievement yes.

Khajiit she wonders about the thoughts of others on this subject. Ideas perhaps for next Fishmas? Though it is hard to know what the possibilities might be when we do not yet know where we might travel in Tamriel in the months ahead.

    Oh Khajiit she knows the name is Breda but after a spelling mistake in another thread she will forever be Brenda to this one.

    Also every time Khajiit she sees on the screen ' Return to Brenda' she feels something of a song starting to stir somewhere in her paws ...

    Good riddance to the new life laoading screen wayshrine event. The quests were boring and short and should have given coffer and next quest from the last npc of each zone rather than going back to breda each time. Undaunted was non exsistant for entire duration from altaholics doing new life all day every day. All my guilds were dead to the world from event...

    Regarding next year, soon-to-be First Emissary Rohais has already petitioned the Queen for Drunken Echatere Riding to be a Dominion-sponsored New Life activity, assuming the Dominion has strengthened ties with Orsinium sufficiently to make that feasible.

    She also felt that traipsing all the way to Grahtwood to hand over a measly 69 coins (less for the characters who weren't max level) was a waste of everyone's time; she has difficulty believing that amount of money could feed any number of orphans for any reasonable amount of time. The word 'skinflint' comes to mind--surely the Dominion can take better care of the orphans than that? She attempted to assist other travelers by removing hostile wildlife, but such creatures were few and far between--plainly the local authorities are doing an adequate job. All in all she felt her efforts in Grahtwood were insufficient to satisfy the spirit of the New Life Festival. Perhaps next year they could accept volunteers to help cook? Make blankets? (We're going to have furniture crafting next year...) Bring food directly?

    Also, while she acknowledges that the Dominion does not (yet) have any say over the activities in Stonefalls or Stormhaven, being required to dance or perform in particular areas in a particular order seems to be against the spirit of celebration - what should it matter if one wishes to dance at the docks before dancing further in town? Surely a more free-form order would be more conductive for all involved. (She would also like to second the request for an unlimited pouch of fire buns, swallowable swords and so on.)

    Finally, she would like to inquire as to what activities the Star-Gazers routinely perform for New Life Festival, as she was planning to host something of the sort at the embassy if possible.

    The childishness I've derived from the mud balls has been the best thing about this festival. All those grumpy old Nords and Altmer that search around for me when I'm sniggering like a little kid behind a wall or outbuilding takes me back to when I was a whipper snapper myself. Only it was eggs on windows and a group of us being chased around our village by some demented house owner.

    NUUUUUUU.

    So long as there is a 3-flag war, no going into Cyrodil for me. Unless they make the quest outside of Cyrodil. Then, fine.

    I wonder if we can actually find her working at the mill while the festival isn't happening, like she claims.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    Let's see:

    - xp buff kept falling off randomly when going through loading screens and most people probably didn't notice

    - we had to travel to one location more than every two hours (because of point above) jamming up the server

    - all this could have been avoided using a buff memento like a summonable xp keg but nope


    Not a very good event as far as the xp buff went. That was handled horribly and I hope they never do it Breda style again.

    With 1T I think it worked fine. Once you did some traveling and learned the nearby wayshrines you could just travel to the areas. It definitely would not have worked before 1T.

    I also picked up some shards, bosses and dolmens while at it for areas I had not been to yet. I would have liked more spots to pick up the quests to spread the load and save the constant traveling to Eastmarch.
