random appreciation

[Funka Genocide]

I am opening a thread wich I have not fully thought out. I don't want to make anyone upset. My only defense (and a flimsy one at that) is that I am drunk right now.

The purpose of this thread is to show my appreciation to the wonderful people I have met in my time here on these forums.

to start, and in no particular order:

RaiRai: Your poetry is beautiful in the way a rose bud is, it places no effort in its beauty, it simply is what it is, an expression of the devine given physical shape by the will of powers beyond my comprehension, You were the reason I signed on to this forum in the first place, and I thank you.

SAAM: your humor and wit are incredible, i always find myself laughing at most of your posts, and the original Calvin Ball threads were a major reason I enjoyed my early days on this forums.


My Arcadia buddies: Sith, Zwei, Lycanth, Myst, Foamy and h4x, you guys are a great bunch of rp'ers and I wish I could meet you all in person, I really appreciate your dedication to my rp setting, and your ability to keep believing in me even after i let you down. You help me to continue to believe in the human race, and your dedication helps me realize a world wich I plan to set many stories in. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Queen Qeeko: Your artistry is beyond beautiful, it is something I look forwqrd to everyday, always hoping to catch a glimpse of your newest creation. Your iages help me to continue on this long journey we call life. I thank you most sincerely.

and to the many others I'v met and will meet in the future on my time here, I love you all and hope to see many great things from you all!

Now tat I have said my piece I hope it will be taken happily, I don't want to upset anyone. I really appreciate the job the mods do in taking care of these forums, and I mean that! I think every last one of them must have some kind of superhuman willpower reserve, I don't think I could do the job they do while still holding down my 9 to 5, you all deserve the highest praise, and again I thank you for making this the one of the greatest places I've ever "been".

that being said, I really can't say how they will take this. if they deem it spam, so be it. They do their jobs so well and with such fairness that I could never complain, I only hope that if hey close this immediately that they know the depths of my gratitude.

thanks to everyone, and I love you all.

Funka G,

[Deathosaurus Wrecks]

to Krylo and Mr. Wind Up Bird: whenever i see either of you shooting down someone's dreams, or pointing out how fucking dumb they are, it gives me a warm feeling in my black as coal heart.
-D. Wrecks

[Krylo]

I think every last one of them must have some kind of superhuman willpower reserveOr just a huge fucking ego and an addiction to power? I mean, I know that's how I do it...

Also, this is most certainly not spam. D. Wrecks made an example of the reason for this already: More people making lists like that, some of which include me. Ahh... wonderful wonderful ego stroking. How I love it.

Speaking of which...

to Krylo and Mr. Wind Up Bird: whenever i see either of you shooting down someone's dreams, or pointing out how fucking dumb they are, it gives me a warm feeling in my black as coal heart.
-D. Wrecks

Awww... thanks. I just do what I can... and sometimes get frustrated... because no one has invented a way to stab people over the internet yet.

[Funka Genocide]

Johnny Socko: you've been around as longer than I have, and every thing I've ever read posted by you seems to bring a smile to my face. Thanks for being so funny man, even if you claim to have a black heart! :)



Krylo: You are one of the most intelligent and witty individuals I've "met" in my life, I hope you get yourself back together sooner rather than later, I know how it can feel to have relationships fall apart, and while I'm not suggesting that I know exactly how you feel, I just want you to know that I understand, in my own way. You're a great guy and I'm sure you'll find happiness eventually. Life is a path, not a destination, a point I'm sure you're familiar with.

[Krylo]

Thanks, and I'm pretty well together. The title and signature are symbolic of a decision I made shortly after the break up, not because I'm still some uber-depressed half-suicidal nutjob (like I was for about a week).

And, I guess, now that I have a little more time than 15 minutes for lunch (half-hour minus travelling time back and forth), I should probably make one of my own little list of people and why I appreciate having them around, or something.

IHMN--You're blunt, and you get to the point. This is an invaluable ability and something that makes you pretty useful in a lot of arguement situations. There's more than once that I've been happy to have you around to state what would have taken me three paragraphs in about one sentence (possibly with a few 'idiot's thrown in for good measure).

FZ--I don't know if you'll ever even see this, but I'm going down the member list by post count and you're next. Anyway: You've had some of the best RPs, and some of the best RP characters. When I was starting out in the RP section you'd be one of the people I'd check for in the sign-ups to see if it was worth my time to even bother.

Dante/Dan'thulu--Every time you're sick little perverted heart has something to say, it makes mine cheery. Who else can I collaborate as well with on tentacle rape, bestiality, and bondage...? Well, other than IHMN.

DB--I never really noticed you until recently, but you've managed to make yourself known (to me, at least... and let's face it, that's all that REALLY matters) as one of the more intelligent posters, even if we tend to move in different circles. I've yet to see a post I haven't liked.

JAD/Squishy--You're a bastard. No. Seriously. You are. You also run some good roleplays, though... and I SUPPOSE you can be counted on when people need you... or something. Bastard. No. I'm not kidding. You're highlighting this expecting me to be like "Just kidding! Haha! Got ya!" HAH! Trick's on you! I'll never admit that I was kidding! Even if I was!

SAAM--There are few people who can make me laugh with a comic drawn entirely of stick figures. You're one of those people. Congratulations! Speaking of which: which triforce of terror member was I? Right or the left? I'm thinking left, but I'm not sure. I'm also guessing CroTeam was the one with the hat.

Celes--You're actually a lot more funny and liberated than you let on, and you always let me have my silly (if slightly mean) little tirades. You're one of the nicest people I know. In fact, the only possible fault I could ever find is that you might be too nice. That and you won't let me ravage you. Viciously.

BobTheMercenary--Despite the fact that we don't see eye to eye on most political issues, I'll be the first to admit that you have some of the best and most well thought out posts. Not as good as say, MINE, of course, but still good. You also have a BoaSaS avatar. This makes you a god amongst these petty mortals... and from the first comic, one of my favorites.

LazyMan--I'd write something about you, but I'm too lazy.

KefkaTaran--If I've ever loved a person platonically over the internet, it'd be you. We don't see eye to eye on everything, but your mind is brilliant and open. You think about things in a light that is rarely seen, and you're one of the few people that can actually challenge me mentally. Not only that, but you're a damn good writer.

Zoam--Your posts are almost always (I'd say always, but I hate definitives) intelligent, rational, and well thought out. Or at least entertaining and capable of stroking my ego. Either way, they're all good. You can even make pretty good threads when you're drunk... and with good spelling and grammar too! You're also pretty humble about the fact, which is a nice change of pace after dealing with my own arrogance all day.

And I'm tired of typing, plus I don't want to have to split this into two posts (or do Shiney), so I'm stopping there.

[RaiRai]

RaiRai: Your poetry is beautiful in the way a rose bud is, it places no effort in its beauty, it simply is what it is, an expression of the devine given physical shape by the will of powers beyond my comprehension, You were the reason I signed on to this forum in the first place, and I thank you.

I'm touched. There may be hope for my fading inspiration yet!

I appreciate users who abide by the rules. For they make my life a lot easier and they also don't make Shiney into a MONSSAH, unlike spammers and trolls. Damn you people.

[Gorefiend]

I appreciate all the mods here for keeping the forums in a nice balance. There are no excesses on behalf of any users, and for a "non professional" board, it looks pretty neat. Scratch that, very neat. But, the mods aren't horrible feared people we all hate for suppressing our voices every chance they get. They have a sense of humor and allow jokes through (except in the discussion forum). They also tend to post good material, like krylo's notes in the "books vs. games", my "Discrimination Against Gamers" and his own "GTA, senseless violence or something more" threads.

[adamark]

Hahaha. Always a fan of drunken "I love you mannnn" posts. I tip my Russian hat to you.

[Funka Genocide]

if I had a russian hat (which I must say is quite the bees knees!) I would tip mine as well Adamark. As it stands I will merely salute stoicly.

I'm a bit embarassed by my profession of drunkenness, after reading through this thing sober, I could have so gotten away with acting as if I weren't. Damn my honesty!

in any case, here is a poem I wrote in dedication to all the forum members here,

Smatterings of Genius

[CelesJessa]

Celes--You're actually a lot more funny and liberated than you let on, and you always let me have my silly (if slightly mean) little tirades. You're one of the nicest people I know. In fact, the only possible fault I could ever find is that you might be too nice. That and you won't let me ravage you. Viciously.

Why thank you Krylo... I think... Well. At least for everything except for the last sentance or two. And yes folks, I'm funny AND liberated, you heard it from Krylo himself. Heh...

I supposed I could write some nice things now too.... Hmm... In random order!

Jad - You're a nice guy, and has always been my "protector" in chat and such, and you're fun to chat with. ^_^ Also, if I ever need advice of surviving through hurricanes, I'll come to you. ^_^ heheh.

Krylo - You're a dirty dirty man. Other than that, you are actually fun to chat with, even though you frighten me. Also, you're funny and I can usually ask you about anything, especially if I want a honost answer.

IHMN - Krylo speaks the truth. You are very honost, and while other people may find that annoying, it is kind of refreshing to have some people who won't sugar-coat it, especially if it's at a time I want to say something, but I don't then either you or Krylo say something, (or you point something out that keeps me in line with RPing.) And you can be pretty funny too.

Cloud Strife - You're always fun to talk to, and I value your values... (heh. does that make sense?) and you don't mind when I mindlessly blather on.

Dante - (yes yes, I'm going back to the names before we all went crazy and changed) Yes we've had... misunderstandings, but you're still my friend, crazy and silly as you may be.

Thaum - You're an excellent sport, especially after letting me poke my fan at you in my comics. ^^

Master Of Magic - I always appreciate your comments on my artwork and your general positive attitude about things. ^^

Mirror Emperor - A very good friend of mine. Always there to hug me and lighten my mood. ^^

Demon With a Glass Hand - I don't talk to him as much as I used to, but he was always a good source for a good laugh. He's very selfless too and a really good voice actor. ^^

Raiden - always fun to "say hello to." (raiden should get it). And he's a good writer and it's fun to recive e-mails from him.

Other RPers - (I may go into detail later) I've always loved RPing with you guys. More than once I've found myself laughing outloud at stuff that's happened in the RP forums, embarrassing to me or not.

I may add on more later, but I'm tired now.

[shiney]

I love you all equally, but I love Krylo more equally than I do others.

[Osterbaum]

I hate you all equally. Though I hate my self more equally.

Seriosly though...You should all know by now if I think highly of you or not, and if you don't...Well you are just gonna have to wait for me to tell it to you.

HÅ HÅ HÅ!!!

[Funka Genocide]

I've always seen Shiney as sort of a humorously sarcastic older brother type here on the forum, trying to keep squabbling little siblings from injuring themselves. And really, you are one lucky dude, I mean, Rai Rai and Krylo!

thats like crazy man, way far out.


and Osterbaum is the coolest dude form Finlan I've ever met, even though I am antisocial.

form now I you may refer to me as a "Minion of Osterbaum" just because it sounds cool.

[synkr0nized]

Whoa.
That was a lot of "random" appreciation. Nice.

[Funka Genocide]

Synkronized! we don't talk much on the forums, but you are the only person I've ever known who seems to like Asuka more than me! I followed some links from your web page one time and found out you were at one point the president of your anime club at school. Thats really cool! Way to further the cause my bro!

[Osterbaum]

Synkronized. I consider you to be a very nice person. WE don't talk, like that much, but still. I consider you to be one of the sanest persons here.

Or do I?

MUAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA!!!

And Zoam. Even though you are and anti-social bastard, you are still agreat guy with your guns n' all. And I really like your poems.

And while on the topic of poems...All of you who write them and share them with us all...You are all great. And I've gotta say...I started writing serious poems in the first place because of the 5 minute poetry thread and I can only hope to get up to your level. So props from that to all of you poets and especially RaiRai whom's poems are simply a great source of inspiration. That's as far as I'm gonna go mentionin names. Some of you I've allready told that I like your poetry, no need to tell it to you too many times. It get's into your head...

I love you all.

-Todays nobody, Joel

[shiney]

Not just todays!

[Osterbaum]

But everydays.

Or am I?

Yes I want to say something about Shiney too...You bastard...

Anyway...Shiney is a really great guy in total. Stupid, doesen't know when to shut up, revolting and all that stuff. My kind of guy really.

I love you shiney. ^_^

[The Mirror Emperor]

Random appreciation threads are cool. Here's mine (in no particular order):

CelesJessa- One of the nicest girls I know and hasn't failed to make me happy to date. ^^

Synkr0nized- A very cool and laid back friend and knows alot more stuff then I'll ever know. ^^

BlackMageGirl!- One of my bestest friends. When I'm feeling very depressed or mad, I know she's the one that can console/calm me and gives me advice, like a sister in all respect. ^_^

Cloud Strife- A good friend and one of the best in poetry. Cool to be around with. ^^

Queen Qeeko- A huggable and cool girl. Her artwork is awesome. ^_^

I shall post more later!

[Cloud Strife]

My random appreciation (for now, more may come):

DB: An amazing guy, and an equally amazing RPer. Can think his way out of any situation thrown at him, which is totally cool.

SAAM: An amazing friend with a great sense of humor. Awesome at RPing and really good at poetry.

BMG!: An amazing poet, despite her claims of being just a novice. Always fun to be around. ^_^

CelesJessa: Awesome at artistry, and a really nice person all around. ^_^

QQ: Utterly amazing artist, and a very caring person. Very helpful.

shiney: Number one guy to go to when there's trouble on the boards. Thanks from me to him for working so hard to keep these boards clean and intelligent, while keeping a sense of humor.

[My Lead Airbag]

Brian - For paying the bills

Pierre - For fixing any code problems

Mods - For all the things said in the innumerable 'praise the mods' threads

[AerodynamicHair]

I just got to show my appreciation for everyone who puts up with my bad attempts at humor, my worse attempts at arm-chair politics, and my rare forum appearances.

While I've been here (I think it's almost been a year now) there have been certain posters that have just seemed to be part of the forums. People like Krylo have, for me, become an institution in this forum, and without them things wouldn't seem right. I would like to give props to you all, but its hard to gather your names, and since I don't type on here too much I wouldn't say we know eachother that well. Still, you make this forum what it is and give it the personality it has.

Maybe later I'll go through and try to list everyone who has been totally awesome over the year, but for now I'll just let it be understood that just about everyone here rocks.

-------edit-------------

Alright, now that I've remembered, there are two people who I need to say thanks to, and I have no idea who those people are.

First, thank you guy who gave me a positive user rating that came with the message "Your hilarious email me." Thing was, s/he forgot to put in his/her screen name with his/her comment, so I had no idea who wanted me to email him/her. Oh well, it was a nice ego boost, so thank you strange person.

Second, thank you guy who quoted me in his sig. I felt proud, as if someone actually cared, when I saw that something I had posted had been honored by some other guy. I think he removed the quote after a few days, though. Still, it was nice.

There. Plus, thanks to all the people I've chatted with (well, most the people I've chatted with plus a few exceptions) for all the combined excellence of this fine forum.

[The Kneumatic Pnight]

Been a while since I've been able to look around the forums thoroughly rather than just having the thing open in my background and this is kind of a nice thread to notice. I'd like to say that I appreciate each and every one of you... the forum wouldn't be quite the same without you all. (This, of course, excludes a small number of people who are better off living under bridges if you catch my drift.)

So... in alphabetical order in as much as the rules of the alphabet pretain to me:

Krylo: We may disagree sometimes in discusson... but you've always been enlightening. You're an institution here and I thank you for all the moddy work you've done.

Aeria: You were one of the first people I ever had a sort of "forum conversation" with. Though I haven't had much contact with you recently, you were one of the reasons I've decided to stay.

Shiny: What can I say that hasn't already been said? Truly great...

Crodevillian Team: For posting my oppinions before I can do so myself... and much more eloquently too... you can get away with being the sort of jackass that I can only wish I could be... and you do it with such flair. [I am not of course, insulting you and am making this note in fear of your moddish power (and the fact that you could probably literally crush me with your ego), which I assume will make you feel all the more happy and appreciated for what you want to be.] Either way... this place just wouldn't be the same without you.

The Mirror Emperor, Cloud Strife, and that whole group: Your weird coallition is a defining presence in these forums as far as I've seen... and it almost feels weird to not be as known or as closely knit as you guys. But as a group (ie. pretty much everyone you mentioned in your posts) you exemplify these forums.

Osterbaum: After coming here I realized that every forum needs a self appointed superhero... too bad this is the only one that does.

Funka Genoside: Overall nice guy and good guy to talk to...

SAAM: What can I say... he's slightly above average... and then some.

And anyone whom I've forgotten: Don't worry, It's just my horrible, horrible memory. You don't deserve to be forgotten because each and every one of you make these forums an excellent place to whittle away one's free time. I can only hope to be thought of so fondly as I think of you. Hell... as a combined forum, you've actually convinced me that there might be some hope for the human race.

And, in the interest of appreciation, I'd like to appologize for all the cynical, creepy, whacked out, and generally annoying jackassery that I've been party to on these forums and I hope they've served only to better the humor of the place, rather than ruin it.

Anyway, thank you all and I'll be back with more if I feel the need, but for one more thing.

Cheshire Thief [etcetera, etcetera]: Wherever you are, and whenever you'll be back... I'm sure most here appreciate you for the humor you brought here while you were around. May you feel our combined, mystical appreciation waves and may your absence be swift... (unless of course one of my lapses in observation, which can be absolutely biblical in proportion, have left me looking like an idiot for this for reasons that will be obvious)

[Lucerin Red]

To ALL of you: What are you doing, and why the hell are you in my house?

Thats really all I could think to say as most of the people I would think to appreciate, already know this, or are no longer on teh fraoms.

[Mike McC]

I've said it before and I'll say it again.... this is just a flat-out awesome community. Everyone here acts with intellegence, freindliness, and just enough humor to make a very enjoyable and charming corner of the internet. While I do tend to fade in and out of active posting, I still think you are all beyond teh awesome.

[MasterOfMagic]

Well, okay. I can do this. I think. Here goes nothin' (In no particular order):

Madhatter: Gosh, I love your art. Really, seriously. Also, you're one of my favourite persons to chat with, even if you're evil, and corrupting my poor mind...
I'll try to get out from under the rock, but I make no promises (you know what I'm talkin about, don't pretend you don't!!)

BlackMageGirl!: Miss popularity herself! And the Gatekeeper of Time, I might add. She... actually... thinks I'm funny for some reason. *shrug* Dunno. Maybe If you beg her she'll explain herself. Or she might go back in time and stop me from typing this.... you just never know... *looks around nervously* Oh, and I'll force you to face the truth someday! It was your fault! (She'll understand, you'll misinterpret. *shrugs* can't be helped)

Cloud Strife: Makes me want to bite my ear off. Just...can't...reach.... But seriously, he's yet another of my chat buddies. And he mocks me with his cableness, and T3-ness. Well, I've got DSL now! And yet...he still mocks me... *sniff*

Cheshire Thief: Duh. You can fill this in. So I won't. 'Cause I'm feelin' lazy. So there.

Osterbaum: With his plans for domination, and attempts to take over my mind, what's not to love? He's evil too, you know...

And lots and lots and lots of random others. If they talked to me more, maybe I could think of ways to describe how!

[Loneyes]

Well, although no one knows me here, I vastly appreciate you all.

Thanks to you guys, I now have something to do those boring nights when I should be doing homework.

I've yet to find a better way to waste time online then reading these forums.

[SanbaiShi]

Appreciations.....? *thinks for a minute* Oh THAT stuff! Where you talk about people you...like and stuff...being...nice....*shudder* Well, since I'm incapable of such a nice and un-dastardly deed, I shall list the people I love to torture!

BlackMageGirl! - the one who introduced me to the boards! My only reply is...MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!! From me you shall NEVER escape!

Ryuuma2 - for sending me those wacked-up pm's in the middle of the night! and then MOVING TO MY TOWN!!!! You shall FEEL the infinite pain of my mind-shattering evil! AND YOU CAME WILLINGLY! Again, MWAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!

Cloud Strife - haven't talked to much to you but you always give me the desired reaction to my evilness. Much appreciated!

********** - ha! I'm so evil that I....forgot your screenname! To this person I thank for a nice time romping in flaming fields of doom and destruction! Pm me and tell me your name again...I DEMAND IT! Thrice, MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!

And that's all I'm going to deign tonight.

[synkr0nized]

HOLY POOP, Batman. I need to catch up.

Funka -- You're definitely in the right direction for me to praise you if you understand how superior Asuka is to everyone else. Good work!

Mirror -- How have you been? Holding up well, I suppose. I always appreciate the PMs and such; it helps make me feel more integrated into this community.

Osterbaum -- "Sanity" and some modicum of rationality seem to be traits of mine online. It got me a nickname on another forum. Anyway, this place would probably have a significant drop in entertainment value if you left. Don't.

There are other people that I'd mention, such as CelesJessa, QQ, shiney, Rai, Krylo, Brave Fencer (:P), Master O' Magic, Dragonsbane, Chicago, BMG!, Thaumaturge, and so forth who all make this forum enjoyable and attractive when I have free time, but I know I'll forget people. I blame the Combine. Or Yuktobania.

Anyway, .....OMG luv2u!!!

[Flarecobra]

Ok, time for something from me.

As those of you who know me already know, You've all helped me in some ways that you don't even know. An example is during Boot camp, I just remembered that not only are my friends and family supporting me, but you all as well. I couldn't quit knowing that there are people all around the world behind me and if I gave up on something like this, how would you all react? Granted a good number of us might never meet in RL, but that just makes me push it harder. Basically what I'm saying is, without you all, I most likely wouldn't have made it to where I am today. For that, I have to say thanks.

[Funka Genocide]

recent developments! I just noticed a forumite who has gone under my radar since I joined, Madhatter is a rediculously talented artist! I spent a good fifteen minutes oggling one of her super detailed sketches she posted in the sketch thread, I was blown away! I can't believe I miss stuff like that, I really am antisocial...

[Cloud Strife]

More random appreciation!

Oster: A cool guy who actually does care, and is a lot more mature than he lets on. Also a good poet. ^_^

Mad: I'll be seconding Funka's opinion here. Your sketches are amazingly detailed, and equally beautiful. Good job. ^_^

WA: A great friend. Oh yeah, you're a good actor, too. =P

TME: A good guy all around, which is always good. ^_^

Demon w/ a Glass Hand: An absolutely hilarious guy. Always good for cheering you up. ^_^

Who knows? More may come...

[Funka Genocide]

yeah, Demon is one cool dude. He mde my last two avatars for me (this one and the last one) and they both rock so hard I have to brace myself everytime I look at them! He wrote this poem one time about "Writers Day Old Oatmeal" that cracked me up forever, I am in fact still cracked up.

there's no going back after something like that... :confused:

[Sithdarth]

I'd Like to send a shout out to FG. He took one of the most random acts of my life and turned it into on of the funnest activities I've had the pleasure of being involved with, thanks man!

Now there are many others deserving of praise from me and that shall come later when it isn't god awlful early in the morning.

[Thaumaturge]

Hmm... Appreciation... To be honest I'm not terribly good at this, so my deepest apologies if I forget someone, or something that I should appreciate someone for, but here we go (in no good order - note that length of appreciation does not reflect on degree of appreciation):

DB: For intelligence and well-thought out tactics, for being an excellent duellist, and a good friend...

Cloud: For excellent poetry, and for being a truly good friend...

BMG: For the same reasons as with Cloud, and for surviving my puns...

Qeeko: For truly incredible artwork, for true friendship, and for being there...

SAAM: For being truly entertaining, a truly good person, for being Slightly Above Average, and for starting the Nilk idea...

Dante: For being a good and tolerant friend, for patiently teaching me the basics of DnD for RD's campaign, and for much entertainment! ...

Celes: For some seriously cool artwork, for some very funny comics, and for compassion...

Oster: For a great deal of entertaining escapades, for starting the Soul Hunters RP with RD and myself, and for being the most stab-happy superhero that I've ever encountered :D ...

RD: For being a seriously cool person, for starting up the Soul Hunters RP with Oster and I, and for starting the DnD campaign...

Sithdarth: For ideas that bespeak a truly great intelligence, for fascinating physics discussions, and for being a seriously interesting guy...

Cheshire: For being a really cool guy, and for some seriously good music...

SanbaiShi: For an admirable adhesion to being evil, and for an excellent evil laugh! :D ...

Lycan: For being a seriously cool person, and a Scottsman to boot! ...

Funka G: For being a very friendly person indeed, for someone who claims to be antisocial! :) ...

Madhatter: For some of the most intricate artworks around - You must have truly epic patience! ...

All the mods: For keeping this place running well, and dealing with problem members effectively, yet without becoming overbearingly authoritarian...

All the Calvinballers (including all of those already herein mentioned): For making it a truly fun game! ...

All of those who produce comics (including all of those already herein mentioned): For their sense of humour and talent...

I know that I've left out a great many people who I should not have, and for that I apologise. I do not appreciate you less, I simply ran out of things to say; the fault is on my side. In closing, one last appreciation:

Everyone on the forums: For being such great people. *bows* I'm glad to have found this place, and all of you. :)

[pochercoaster]

Damn, it looks like I have to write one of these now...

Krylo: For being one of the most perverted, intelligent, and funny people I know.

MoM: For being lots of fun to talk to and one of the most friendly forumites around.

Crodevillian Team (is that spelled correctly?): For always making intelligent and witty posts.

RaiRai: For her awesome poetry.

Funka Genocide: I only seemed to have noticed you in the last week, even though you've been here since April (sign I go on the forums too much but don't actually pay attention? Nawww.) For being a really nice guy, and his drive-by Haiku I'm sure some of you have read :)

CT: Everything that's been said before, plus your hair looks cool.

Mods I haven't mentioned: For keeping the place in order.

Everyone else: I likely forgot quite a few of you, but regardless, you're all awesome just for being here.

[Totsumanu]

To everyone that I have ever interacted with in the forums: Thank you all for giving me creative strengthes in some times of need. Mostly by reading my comic so that I can continue it then letting it die so young. Also for letting me know that I am not that bad at some things then I thought I was. Like drawing, comics, and poems.

Love ya guys!! *sniff*:)

[Mr. Viewtiful]

Thanks to those whom I made an avatar for a year ago and thanked me for services rendered.

Thanks to the people in the original FF:RP. That was awesome, 'nuff said.

Thanks to all the guys in the Nuklear Power chat room on AIM, because a daily dose of your crazy antics always brightens my day.

Thanks to those who are open enough to listen to my opinion and respect it.

And especially thanks go to you, for reading my posts.

[Krylo]

And especially thanks go to you, for reading my posts.That reminds me of the end of almost every videogame of the SNES era under the special thanks section. "And YOU, for playing." I was all like, "Yah, you better thank me after making me play through that shit fest of a game, Nintendo!" Only not really.

Anyway, one more appreciation thing to add.

Madhatter: For all the exact same reasons she appreciates me. It's creepy. Also: She likes sour cream with chives and onions AND spicy food... it's nice finally having someone I can talk to about the most delicious foods I prepare.

[The Mirror Emperor]

I have a couple more, I suppose..

Demon With A Glass Hand: Sort of like a brother to me, in some ways. A cool guy. ^^

Krylo: You creep me out. Alot. Nevertheless, you remain one of the most intelligent people on the forums and one of the most excellent debaters I've seen to date. Kudos!

Anyone else I forgot: Sorry for forgetting. You guys still rock, though. ^^

[batgirl]

Oh ye gods! I'm being dragged into the random listiness....must....resist...

BMG: My ever present pretty girl Sammy. You're always there to ask me what's up when I'm in "one of those moods" or when my away message says I'm going to kill someone. Join the dark side, we have cookies!

Cloud: OMGZ!!! IT'S TEH GLOMPY KITTY!! You are absolutely one of my favorite people in the world.

Spok: For giving me a chat invite ALWAYS without fail, I thank you from the bottom of my TechTV loving nerd heart.

Celes: Special thanks to you for bailing me out at being the only girl rping at times. You give the boys something else to oogle at.

Wolf99x: My co-gm. You've seen me through the worst and best, kept the rp alive through chapter 22 and been my complaning companion for as long as I remember being on the boards (way back when). Words cannot express how much I appreciate your friendship.

Dante: Ero-Sennin! Although I will always be the better medic out of us two, I can always count on you for stories and your perverted ways of trying to grab my goodies. You rock my world.

MC43: You and I, what can I say? Thank you for being you and for your writings that brighten up my otherwise cloudy days. I can't thank you enough for your friendship and all we've been through together. You know I'm there for you, you stinky sally.

All The AIM Chatroom people: Thanks for putting up with me when I try to light you on fire, blow you up, stab you, teach you about EMTing, get Chibi on you all and start an Ice Cream fight etc...you guys give me brief periods of insanity that just help me get through my days.

Special thanks to the mods for doing what they do and being damn good at it. You guys deserve more credit than you get.

[Funka Genocide]

a few more appreciations I'd like to get out there.

SephirothSama: You seem to be crazier than BMG, which I find frightening, and your artwork is incredible, not to mention highly flattering to those it immortalizes. You must be a very selfless person to spend your time doing things for people for free, and I really appreciate the commision you're doing for me! I can't wait to see what happens!

BMG: I know I must have thanked you before, but after chatting with you I have to thank you again. You are one of the most wonderful people I've ever met, and I hope you consider me a friend.

Qeeko: You know I love you! I just want to thank you for putting up with my insecuirties and general stupidity, and for being my friend, and for your honesty and heroic resolve. You rock girl!

holy crap! I just realized this is like all girls! :o

loneyes: I just became aware of you a few days ago, but you seem familiar, you remind me of myself kid, I'm going to keep my eye on you! I hope you keep posting here and I hope you get some smiles from this forum!

Dante: for being the first person in three years to talk with me about Warhammer, you have no idea how much that meant to me. :B

Archbio: for not cussing me out for being such a cheeky bastard! and for telling me where the hell "teh" came from.

Cloud: for being only the second person who listens to christian music to ever be my friend, hes a great poet and his skills improve every day, I'm astonished at times.

pixie: for being generally friendly and for posting those adorable pics of herself, it really made my day!

aerodynamichair: for posting so many quizzes on his live journal I don't have to work all day! and for being one generally kick ass dude with a radio show! (FLCL roxxors my boxxors!)

Bob the Mercenary: for being way past cool and for his entertaining writing, thanks for the rep man!

and to whoever voted for heart throb pirate on my LJ, thanks for boosting my ego! ;)

I pillage, I plunder I make ye sweet love.

[CHICAGO¤lollie]

Except you (http://forum.nuklearpower.com/member.php?u=3385), you (http://forum.nuklearpower.com/member.php?u=583), and you (http://forum.nuklearpower.com/member.php?u=5). And maybe you (http://forum.nuklearpower.com/member.php?u=264). No, scratch that. You (http://forum.nuklearpower.com/member.php?u=4597). You (http://forum.nuklearpower.com/member.php?u=2627) too, and you (http://forum.nuklearpower.com/member.php?u=4372). You (http://forum.nuklearpower.com/member.php?u=4405), because I can. You (http://forum.nuklearpower.com/member.php?u=4), because I wanna. And of course, you (http://forum.nuklearpower.com/member.php?u=2) two (http://forum.nuklearpower.com/member.php?u=596).

[mammothtank]

I would like to thank everyone who volunteered to appear in my Mammothtank Vs. comic, and extend that thanks to everyone who enjoyed my duels.
Especially those who liked them enough to give me rep.

[secretskull]

I don't know a lot of people here, but here I go.

DB: For helping me with my grammar, helping me understand the many rules of DnD and for generally being a funny, intelligent and witty poster.

SAAM: For helping my grammar along with DB and bringing me endless hours of entertainment with the SoL RP.

MLA: For being to damn funny! That’s all I can say.

Cloud: Your post's are always well thought out and I enjoy reading them.

More to come later these are from the top of my head.

[My Lead Airbag]

CroTeam is (http://forum.nuklearpower.com/showpost.php?p=16699&postcount=1) the (http://forum.nuklearpower.com/showpost.php?p=260906&postcount=11) best. (http://forum.nuklearpower.com/showpost.php?p=195733&postcount=8)

[Funka Genocide]

CroTeam is a big evil bastard who won't tell me who my soul mate is!

Also, Meister is the quickest Dictionary slinger in Europe.

And Dante has D&D miniatures, which makes him automatically a biajillion times batter than thoe who do not!

also, I am devastatingly tired right now!

Oh, yeah. MLA thinks he's royalty and read some Ayn Rand, which has obviously pushed him over the edge. We hope he gets better.

crap! now we're doing it. Damn it!

[shiney]

Thank you to Crodevillian for giving up reubens for me. I won't forget your selfless act.

[Crodevillian Team]

It's funny that you'd mention that on the one day that I actually had a turkey reuben for lunch. And that's no joke.

I must thank you, Shiney, for not destroying me after the thing I'm about to do.

Oh you'll see. They'll all see.

And MLA is a new hero of mine.

[Dragonsbane]

*looks up* Only Thaum and Secretskull mentioned me? Hmph, and I thought more of you were my friends...

Dante: You're a complete and utter pervert, in a completely and utterly hilarious way. That, and you've helped provide advice, twnkage, and strategies for Tiamat-knows-how-long in the D&D Questions and Information thread.

Elminster: Not enough people give him credit. Not only was he named for one of the most pimptastic Archmagi in the history of Faerun, with conquests ranging from humble village girls, to powerful Witch-Queens, to the Goddess of Magic herself. An inspiration for the rest of us in that field. He also started one of the first and funniest RPs I participated in on this forum, even though it didn't make it to the end. The premise was that a group of Hylian Communists were trying to depose Princess Zelda, killl Link, and take over Hyrule, and included worthies such as myself, Dante, and SAAM.

Secretskull: He went from being a n00b of the most common variety to transcend his humble beginnings, and is becoming both a fine person and a fine RPer. Congratulations.

Totsumanu: I was a fan of your comics long before I started making my own. Upon chatting with the author, I was not disappointed by your wit, humor, and intellect.

Cloud: Soul of a paladin, but a good friend. For a hero, he's remarkably entertaining to be around, and an amazingly talented poet. That, and his hair is perfect for opening drinks!

Sanbaishi: For being one of the few people capable of matching my evil, and for being AWESOME to hang out with. ^_^

Thaumaturge: For some wonderful debates, conversations on many topics, and a shared appreciation for the magical arts. That, and the invention of Nilk.

MLA: For having a true understanding of Magic the Gathering type goblins, and making them a force to be reckoned with. Also, for reading Ayn Rand and drawing amusing conclusions from it, as well as providing a healthy level of cynicism.

[Illuminatus]

Hmm. I feel obligated to post here.

So here it is. My appreciation.

DathZeth: So we rarely see him and he never ventures outside of the discussion forum, but he always provides an interesting, intelligent and well researched viewpoint to the discussion. He was here when I joined, and when I posted mostly in the discussion forum, his posts were mostly what I read. He is one of our outstanding forumites.

KefkaTaran: Generally an all-around cool guy. We have a lot in common, and a lot to talk about. He writes well, and I'm overall very impressed with his person.

Crodevillian Team: Because long ago I arbitrarily chose a MOD to suck up to, and he's it.

I mean, because he's awesome.

That's it. Kind of anemic compared to y'all's...eh. Oh well.
