Joined who?
The Host GM's and pirate members that were there for the bonfire lighting.

I was there, but rather than standing around being bored, I was chatting and having a good time with other pirates.

Yep, the pork makes a pretty picture. I like the fact that it gives 2000 hp so I can get all the way down in the red before using it.

It was what we made of it. Could it have been better? Certainly. Was it a bust? Certainly not. Some of us got to meet new pirates and have fun. It was after all a Feast/party to celebrate. I dunno about you, but if I watied for the host to entertain me at every RL party I went to, it would be a very boring party, so I tend to interact with the other guests and make it more fun.

You're entitled to your opinion. I guess that if you were looking for fireworks, corn on the cob, and pilgrims, you could easily be dissapointed. However, those of us who had fun were not looking for the "over the top" Evel Knievel Grand Canyon jump. We had fun with those that were there, and with the Host Gm's when they showed up.

No offense, but it seems like you want it on a silver platter. As with anything else, you can make of it what you will. If you are looking to be dissapointed, you will be. If you're looking to have some fun, you will.

Sounds good. let me know when you do it and Parrotheads will be there.

Not really. That is your perception. As I said, it could've been better, but it was a fun time.

I agree, basically. But, if they had done nothing for Thanksgiving, would you have been any more satisfied?

Or those that want content as well as the niceties offered during such a festival.
