OK, I know this is rather unOrthodox, and for that I'm sorry. But I really need to get this off my chest. Guys, I have been here a long time, well over 10 years. And the whole time I was here, I have experienced the ups and downs that many of you have as well. Throughout this journey of 10 years, all of you have offered me your friendship your advice and at times your tough love. Especially olek for always offering a way to improve my writing .

As you know, this is the first time I've held the world title in almost 5 years. And the reason for that, in my opinion, is the sudden influx of amazing writers who have stepped forward to bring this place to a whole new level. So while I am very excited to be in this position again, The feeling is a little different this time. This time, I felt the need and still do to thank each and everyone of you, for being the amazing rpers that you are.

When I first started this, I can barely write a 2000 word post, whereas now, well, it's a lot longer than 2000 words. Thanks to all of you, I have been pushed to become a better writer than I ever thought possible, to the point where I am writing my own plays and producing them, my own book, and my own musicals. It's because of you guys, that I've been able to do these things. So before I inevitably choke and lose the title, I wanted to take this moment and thank every last one of you.

I know this is just a game, but I can't tell you what the constant challenges and Your constant challenges as great writers have meant to me

thank you again.

As I said before, it was well overdo. Seriously man, congratulations. Five years is a long time. You've been here since the start, just as the game tends to go when one of the cores leave the place just wouldn't be the same without you. You need to post the rp at some point though! I want to read it, lol.

That was beautiful.

What I love most in this game is when the spirit of comeraderie shines through despite what might be going on in character. There's something special about e-fedding that even other text based role players, in my decade (#/!&) of experience, can't understand. Every fed writer I've met is extremely passionate about this game and improving their work, and I am sure that they all will appreciate this beautiful post as much as I do. Keep up the good work- but remember that we never choke, we just meet challenges we can't yet defeat. In my experience, even when you think it's done forever there's always one more match.

Always.

One.

More.

Match.

Well done, and well said. By the way, if you go into this thinking you'll choke, you just might. No self-fulfilling prophecies, dude. Just do your thing and don't stress it. You're still playing the same game.

As a side note. This 'its just a game' thing... to me that sort of devalues this thing we do. Sure, we're a niche on the internet. Sure, it's kinda (read: very fucking) nerdy. But it's also a community, family-like even, and it's our chosen hobby that we put effort and passion into. When RL stuff comes up, yes, the game goes by the wayside, just like any other hobby. But for what it is and what we do and how much we love it... to me it's not "just a game." It's an outlet that we all love, that a lot of us have been doing for over a decade. So let's not devalue any of our accomplishments or friendships, etc, by calling it 'just.' It's much more than that.


Also, I second Doug's request, I'd love to read the RP!

Kai,

You and I pushed one another so many times back in the day. You always made me kick it into a higher gear. You have earned this my friend, no matter how long or short it lasts, you reached this point. I know you've struggled with the game and writing, just as I have but like you, the group of writers here have pushed me to become better with my writing. You keep getting better as time goes on. You've adapted with the times and it shows.

Like J said, this is more than just a game. It is a game, but we are all family. We may fight and bitch and moan, but we also end up respecting one another at some point or another. And I respect you. We always had a hell of a rivalry but there was never any drama or anything which is something I always enjoyed and respected.

Keep it up my friend.

You're right. I didn't mean to devalue the game if that's how it sounded. I just meant that I know we all have real lives but this place and community has really helped me shape parts of my life.

And to answer the question about my rp, that is up to the boss man. If olek thinks he wants it up, he can post what I emailed, but it will reveal what's currently happening. And once you know... you can't unknow!

... pretty tantalizing though.

I will avoid emailing my rps again. It wasn't meant to deceive or trick you guys. The hidden elements I just wanted to keep secret if olek didn't want to use it.

Oh no, no offense taken. I just wanted to stress how much the game meant to me personally. Didn't mean to sound like chiding you. All good :)

*pesters Olek about the RP*

It's deserved, yes... But you earned it. You have been a staple in this game, and have evolved with it. Enjoy it, sir, and fight strong, like we all know you will.

Many congrats!
