I'm glad not everyone was as disappointed as I was, then. I guess my main issue is that I find it very easy to do chill CR building when events aren't happening (people here are GREAT with open logs and neat group log ideas) and look forward to events as an opportunity to do something with all that CR that you couldn't do otherwise instead of just more of the same CR building. Everything here could have been accomplished with a player-run pool party (especially if you don't play an investigative type), and I'm glad some people had fun and were able to use it but I wish there was just a little bit more out of the ordinary to do.

Letting characters breathe is fine, I was just personally hoping for some light-hearted status effects or something instead of just a straight beach party. But maybe I'm alone in that, who knows.
