Maelstrom aftermath...

Well, I just got home from Maelstrom.  On the whole it was a very positive experience, although it didn't turn out in any way that I had expected.

It started off very badly.  I'd had two panic attacks on the Friday before it was even Time-In and felt progressively worse as the evening drew on.  By Saturday morning I was having such a bad panic/

:(

-So I gave up on playing and asked if I could NPC crew instead - they were very nice and agreed straight away. Crewing turned out to be an absolute blast and I thoroughly enjoyed myself and they seemed very happy with what I was doing as well. The end result is that they invited me to join the NPC/Plot team as a permanent member - quite an honour as apparantly they are very selective about who they invite!

Nice recovery :)

Sometimes a little position change helps a lot.

Sounds like a good way to avoid stress and have more fun!

Was good to see you (even if your appearance meant that I was massively busy IC!), and glad you ended up having fun :)

Playing the White Jacket was fun, but my god the heat! Thanks for keeping me watered and shaded up. :)

People were looking at me odd for choosing to keep my woollen jacket on for the entirety of the weekend, which in fairness it may have been!
