CMDR Myshka
Roster #254
Ship: Knackered Knave; Ship-ID: 199-DW
Arrival: May 27 3305, 15:30 IGT (May 28, 00:30 Shiptime)
Mixed feelings about this. I was so excited about DW2 after the fantastic DW1, but due to real-life and different timezone, it felt a lot lonelier. Especially after a serious bout of RL put me behind the fleet by nearly 2 months, so Explorer's Anchorage to Beagle Point was a completely solo venture for me.
On top of that, it almost felt like cheating - the Abyss is not scary at all with a 50LY jumprange ship. It's possible to plot pretty much anywhere, there's no navigation required. And I guess having been here before, the distance didn't seem all that far back to civilisation as the first time around. Well that, and the fact that civilisation is a heck of a lot closer now!

Despite all that the first half of the expedition was fantastic, from the launch mass-jump to playing SRV football with an Ancient Orb at Waypoint 4, to distributing Hutton Mugs to anyone that wanted one (and in some cases just dropping one at a Waypoint then seeing what people made of them). It seems I have actually forgotten much of the early stages of the expedition; must have been all that Lavian Brandy during the latter stages. I've started going through my pictures and memories are slowly coming back...

Still, So I'm glad to have participated, and kudos to all the organisers and event managers for putting this together. By all accounts it's been epic!
Now, I've still got a few Hutton Mugs left (been dropping one off at every waypoint) - who's still around and who wants one?!? #FORTHEMUG!
