Thank you Dick for deciding to take a chance on weeks old site. Thank you even more for never, ever leaving no matter how busy and chaotic life has gotten! Words cannot describe how much it has meant to be to have someone here who has shown nearly five years of good, old-fashioned reliability. And some of the threads I've had with you have been among the funnest and most memorable. Yes, even all the ones that took over six months to complete.
Thank you Ozzy for letting me talk you into this! You have the unique distinction of being the only one I knew before GCRPG began. And even though it may have taken you some time for you to decide to hop on board, and then even more to gain the confidence to get more deeply involved, thank you for the complete an utter brilliance you bring to your characters. Thank you, too, for covering the night shift - I literally sleep better at night knowing that you start lurking on the forum about the same time I go to bed.
Thank you Kory for being the forum's official bright ball of sunshine! You've always managed to make my day a little better, often when you and sometimes even when I didn't even know that I needed it. Something that you don't do just for me, but I've seen you spreading your sunshine to everyone - I don't think I've ever seen you get upset at anyone, even when they probably deserved it. And I love to see the friendship that has grown between you and Dick. I'm happy that it was this forum where you two happened to meet.
Thank you Jon for having the courage to say yes when I asked you to join the staff as a moderator, and then again as an admin. I didn't know you very well when I first made you staff, but since then you've become my friend and my rock - someone I can count on. Someone who encourages me when I'm uncertain and tells me when I'm being stupid. Someone who supports me even when we disagree. Neither I nor the site could have made it this far without you. Thank you too for crashing into Heather - life instantly became more interesting for her and fun for me.
Thank you Jere for having guts. And also for being the queen of hanging in there. You keep making me look good - and probably don't even realize you're doing it - by simply helping me out behind the scenes with all the little things, and then I come out looking like I'm on top of everything. I have never regretted my decision to pick you to round out our admin team, and I'm endlessly excited to see what we come up with next!
Thank you Jess for being your super-fabulous self! I've loved being able to get to know you as a person - you're awesome! - and I've also loved roleplaying with you. I enjoy each and every one of your characters, past and present, and really look forward to your posts. You get me reading threads I'm not even in more often than most, lol. And you're also fun to just chat with - I miss you when your life gets busy.
Thank you Kira for being on the site! And also being on AIM - you don't know how many times you've had me cracking up from things you've said in the group chat, especially when you team up with Gordon. And I also greatly appreciate the fact that you're cool enough to still be cool with me in spite of the fact that I can be a stubborn person, and you can be a stubborn person, and sometimes we're both stubborn people at the same time and that can get messy. It's not just anyone who can come out of that and not hold it against anyone. It's cool!
Thank you Jordan for quietly being awesome. I mean, you've been here for well over a year now, and that's an accomplishment! But I can't say that I know you very well yet even so - perhaps we should to a thread together, maybe? When I've looked at the threads you've been involved in, it's always something interesting so I'm sure anything we came up with would be fun!
Thank you Joker for being our Joker! I've been privileged to be in several threads with you, and all of them have turned out to be fun and hilarious - everyone should be asking you for threads, seriously! And though he can be done in a number of different ways, no matter which way he's been done he can be a difficult character to do right - trust me, I know. Though there were a few good ones, there was also a very long list of bad ones to come our way before you came along. But did you know you've been around here for over an year now? That's crazy! Thank you for sticking with us for so long!
Thank you Ra's for overcoming all of your self-doubt and learning to not only survive but thrive among all of us who, as I recall, used to intimidate you with our epic writing skills. Instead of running away, you've become one of us, and that's awesome! And since you're ridiculously young, you've given everyone here the opportunity to pass along their good (and bad) advice - thank you for putting up with that! And for torturing Jon - we all like it when you torture Jon (especially Jon).
Thank you Scourgie for being a part of this awesome group of people! I love having you around - you make me laugh a lot when you're cracking jokes on AIM. And nobody - I mean nobody can RP a monster better than you! And like I told Ra's, I love having younger people around on the forum - and you've amazed me from day one simply by how well you write for your age - it's amazing!
Thank you Foxfire, first of all, for being my Nora! It makes my Freeze muse so very happy! But beyond that, thank you for finding us, and for not merely joining the forum but purposely getting to know all of us old-timers - now it's like you've been here forever yourself! And you're an awesome writer, with a lot of creative ideas - you're a great person to have around and I'm so happy that you found us! And that video tho... *applause!*
Thank you Gordon for finding us! Seriously - I can't remember what it was like to not have you around, and you've not even been here six months yet. You literally make me laugh everyday! And I'm not the only one who appreciates you - I told Jon she could pick absolutely anyone she wanted for her assistant and she picked you, so that's saying something! And thank you for saying yes and being so willing to help us out - we're a big, busy site and there's a lot that needs to be done to keep it going right.
Thank you Oracle for your creativity - I love seeing people experiment with unique ideas for original characters and the like. And also people who are so willing to jump right into open threads - we always need more people like that! And also thank you for taking on Oracle and being so passionate about doing her properly - Barbara Gordon can be a formidable character in the right hands, and you make her everything that she can be.
Thank you Selina for your willingness to help out and get involved. I can always count on you to be a wellspring of ideas for plots, for ways to improve the site, etc. And I've loved all of the threads that we do together - you're a fun player to work with and I'm always really excited when I see that you've replied to me! We may have had some ups and downs over the years that we've known each other, but I'm happy we're back on an up. Let's stay here, shall we?
Thank you Bark for joining forces with Oracle to introduce the forum to the wild world of Flash villains! Seriously, it can be pretty difficult to take a character who could be around and figure out why they would be around and have it all 'work'. We need to figure out a reason for Captain Cold and Freeze to do something together at some point.
Thank you Lobo for being just barely weird enough to hang out with the rest of us. Seriously, though, I love how unique your ideas are! I have not had the pleasure of being in a thread with you yet, but from what I've seen you're good at getting other people's characters into interesting situations - which is always fun for the other player. Normal is pretty boring, after all.
Thank you Lex for your delightful habit of plotting grand, long-term schemes behind everyone's back - it adds a layer of fun and intrigue to much of the forum that would otherwise be absent. Yes, other people can and have done it too, but it's rare for them to reach the level at which you do such things consistently. I'm looking forward to seeing how your schemes collide with everyone else's.
Thank you Buster for your sassy attitude. It makes you fun to chat with, and when you pull it into your posts it makes your threads endlessly entertaining. And I know that you're often busy, which means that it's that much more flattering that you choose to spend some of your time here.
Thank you Two-Face for being here through not just the good times but also the bad, always with a good attitude even when you have plenty of excuses to feel otherwise. I can't tell you how much I appreciate that about you. Also for not leaving us when your favorite character was taken - it means a lot that you want to be here badly enough to stick with us in spite of stuff like that.
Thank you Bane for your tireless efforts to eliminate the Bane curse! I'm sure that if you keep trying you'll manage to conquer it someday. And also thank you for the passion and creativity you put into your roleplay - I can tell by your posts that you have some great ideas and dreams for your character, and I'd love to see if you're able to achieve them.
Thank you Alfred for joining us! I haven't had as much of an opportunity to get to know you as well as many of the other players here, but I always love it when new people are willing to give us a shot! Especially people who can play Alfred as well as you - I'm already pretty impressed! He's always been a favorite of mine and is a tricky one to do right for a lot of people. I hope you feel very welcome here, and if not or if you have anything else I can help you with, always feel free to let me know!
Thank you Ollie for being crazy enough to listen to a friend - we've missed having an Ollie and you're a very good one! It's always an adventure joining a new site, even one that's come to you highly recommended - something I know from experience - so I appreciate that you've given us a shot and I hope that we get you just as hooked on us.
