A big callout for Noname, who just joined the Darwin's Soldiers RP! Yahoo!! Thank you!

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #141 on:** September 13, 2009, 02:21:02 AM

Thanks, Serris and Rat_Lady7 (Amy)

. It means a lot to know I make a difference in others' lives, no matter how big or small the difference

. It has been a while since I posted anything here, so I'd better get around to it.

*Rat_Lady7: I, too, have come to see ya as a younger sister

. Thanks for letting me join your RP. It has been a blast so far. Keep smiling, and don't ever forget there are folks who care about ya

!

*Pangaea: I always enjoy reading your posts, no matter how elaborate, and find your humor to be quite funny

.

*Noname: Your posts in The Party Room and Caption This are hilarious, and I think we had a fun time posting in the original "Alphabet Land Before Time Story" thread. In more serious discussion threads, valid points are brought up in your posts, which help contribute to the topic(s) at hand.

*The Great Valley Guardian: I had never participated in an RP before "A New World, Same Old Faces" caught my interest, and I'm glad ya gave a newbie like myself the opportunity to participate. Now I know what I've been missing out on all this time. I had not thought it would be fun to participate in creating stories in which I'm not entirely in charge of what happens, but I've come to discover the exact opposite

.

*Nimrod: I appreciate your friendliness and our PM discussions. It's always nice to get to know members more, which brings me to my next name to mention...

*Petrie: Thanks for being a great boss, for creating The Rock Circle, and for creating the Ask Me section. The Rock Circle allows members to have more say in the decisions made regarding the GOF, and the Ask Me section enables us to be able to get to know each other better without littering our inboxes.

Again, I appreciate all of our members, and more names will be mentioned as time goes on. Y'all are very friendly, and I look forward to coming here at the end of the day and whenever I time during the day.

Also, I must not forget LettuceBacon&Tomato, he also tried to uplift my spirits once I said I was going through depression and few things. He's also one other person I really would love to chat with quite a bit.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #143 on:** September 13, 2009, 02:25:16 AM

Thanks, Rat_Lady.

You've added a lot to the GOF, some of my favorite places here (Ask Me section, several Party games, Tim's RPG, this thread) were either created or revived by you. I remember one time you said you were worried about how often you revive dead topics. Well, don't worry! Many of them have continued to thrive since!

Cancerian Tiger, I haven't gotten to know you very well, but I do know that you've made many valuable posts to sections, and help out all over the forum. It's good you're around!

Noname · **Reply #144 on:** September 13, 2009, 02:29:22 AM

And, thanks to Serris, for letting me on his RP.

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #145 on:** September 13, 2009, 02:35:57 AM

You're much appreciated too, LettuceBacon&Tomato. Your posts are valuable and bring up good points in topics.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #146 on:** September 13, 2009, 02:43:35 AM

Also another thanks to Serris, for writing snippets of Darwin's Soldiers stories. It's been fun to read stuff other than what I've written, and they're good too!

Dash The Longneck · **Reply #147 on:** September 13, 2009, 06:24:50 AM

I would like to show my appreciation to Kit12 for joining my 101 Dalmatians: The Series roleplay when nobody else did. And keeping that role play active even when it's just me and him role playing in it.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #148 on:** September 13, 2009, 08:21:51 PM

I do indeed need to show my appreciation for Petrie...he called for a third moderator in the RP section, and after a few days of consideration he chose me, and for that I am still eternally grateful. And for giving me a chance to watch over the one section I enjoy most.

I also would like to to extend my welcome to Cancerian Tiger to the world of RPing, and as it turns out she is a natural! Again Anna welcome to the RP section and I hope you have a wonderful time.

I would also like to thank Brekclub for letting me co-write his next Total Drama Valley story. It is indeed quite fun and entertaining. And for those of you who are reading it, the next chapter should be up by Tuesday.

Amaranthine · **Reply #149 on:** September 13, 2009, 09:08:22 PM

I want to thank everyone that joined the RP. I wasn't too sure if the rp was going to fly like this, since I have tried to make rps in the past and they epic failed. I am new to rping myself, thanks guys.

Alex · **Reply #150 on:** September 13, 2009, 09:21:14 PM

GVG reminded me to say a few words about Petrie, so I give my appreciation to GVG.

I now want to give my appreciation to Petrie. I'm not exactly sure how to say what I appreciate, but I'll try. I think he's a good leader of the forum, and does a good job keeping it what it should be, you know, friendly, fun, active, appropriate, and such and such. And even though he can pull all that off, which can sometimes involve shutting down people's topic, and asking people to stop talking, and stuff like that which sometimes may make a member mad, he still comes off as a cool guy.

Overall, I think you just do a great job running the forum, and have made a great community here. When I first joined a couple months back, I wouldn't have thought it would be such a nice place to chill.

And I know he doesn't do it alone, so I also want to thank all the admins and mods on the GOF, for making the GOF so awesome.

And all the members. I wanna thank everyone for warmly lettin' me be apart of the forum.

Myrkin · **Reply #151 on:** September 16, 2009, 08:49:19 AM

I would like to thank:

brekclub: For inviting me to your RPs in the past and all that time we spent playing in the Party Room. Also, I have to say that your stories (at least those I've read) were quite good and interesting.

The Chronicler: For letting me join your "Disruption in time" RP in the last possible time, even if you sent me invitation some three months ago. Sorry, that I kept you waiting, but better late than never.

I would like to appreciate your rping and also thank you for voting with me for Ruby in "Heal and hurt" games in PR. Without you and me, she might have eventually die in every round.

Nick22: Remember the time when we beat another records in "Guess who"? I think, that I made majority of my posts with your indirect help there. I would also thank you for joining my own first RP "Kingdoms" (along with StarfallRaptor and f-22 "raptor" ace, whom I would like to thank too).

Raptor: You've made the first Watership Down Rp (at least the first I know of) and it's great RP, even if it has only three players. Luckily, where we lack in numbers you and GVG make up with quality of your posts.

Rat_Lady7: For letting me join your RP "In the land before time ".

I also would like to show my appreciation for everybody, who joined my rp "Behind the scenes":NeoGenesis005, raga, Kor, LBTFan13, The Great Valley Guardian, Cancerian Tiger, brekclub85, Nimrod. Thank you, guys.

Serris · **Reply #152 on:** September 28, 2009, 12:25:34 AM

Caustizer, LettuceBacon&Tomato, Nick22, Noname, StarfallRaptor, Mirumoto_Kenjiro, F-22 - Thank you all for joining in the Darwin's Soldiers RPs. Without you, the RP could never have taken on its epic and detailed scope.

Noname - Your religious discussions are always interesting and they help me learn more about Catholicism.

Noname · **Reply #153 on:** September 28, 2009, 12:32:08 AM

I would like to give thanks to Chiletrek and Caustizer; they are participating more in the fantasy RPs lately, and keeping the story going! Thanks.

don't forget lbt/cty_lover. He was in the first RP for a while.

And thank you, Serris, for creating the basic premise and being so opening in letting people join early or late. You let me join the second RP when it was over halfway over, so I thank you for that.

f-22, I also want to thank you for your support for my Drawin's Soldiers expanded stories. You've offered some really good ideas via PM that I've ultimately included in the stories, and your constant permission to use your characters in major roles have yielded major benefits both for Werner and Hans, and for me.

Thanks also to everyone Serris already named, for allowing me to use your characters in my stories. It's because of your well-crafted personalities and back stories that they're so fun to incorporate into my work.

LBTFan13 · **Reply #155 on:** September 28, 2009, 12:55:45 AM

There are some people I need to really thank right now. If you have read my topic in the After Midnight forum, then you will know that I was having major problems with my roommate. They went on for about two weeks to the point where I was about to leave the room. Fortunately, he apologized to me and now things are going much more smoothly than before. I am very happy things are going well, but I probably would have been more depressed than I was if the people who gave me some advice and their support hadn't done so. So to Cancerain Tiger, Rat Lady, Mumbling, Littlefoot1616, Noname, Petrie, Alex, NewOrder, DualXz, Serris, and Malte, thank you guys so very much for all you have done for me. I can't thank you enough for the love and support you have all shown me through these past couple days. I really appreciate all the kind words from all of you and feel so blessed you were all there for me.

EDIT

I also must thank DarkHououmon, and hopefully Kacie reads this because this is important. So I was super excited when I finished my video for Chomper, but then it hit me that I would have to find a place other than Youtube to post the video because Linkin Park was not allowed on Youtube. So of course, I post that I am unable to find a place to put my video up, and Kacie was there to offer plenty of suggestions for places. Sure I came back every single time complaining that it wouldn't work, but Kacie was so incredibly patient it blew my mind. I kept thinking every time I posted she was going to yell at me or say something like, "I'm tired of your whining. Figure it out yourself". Thank god she didn't do that, and I am so grateful she stuck with me, so thank you very much. I will admit this too, but after watching all the videos you have made, I must say that you are the person who inspired me to start making my music videos, despite most of them being taken down and now I'm left with only 5 lol. Anyway, your videos are made with so much care and detail that I am amazed everytime I watch them. Of course being in college now I don't have as much time as I used to, but I do plan on continuing with making more videos, and I hope one day they will be as good as yours. So thanks for being my inspiration and please don't stop being good at making videos

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #156 on:** September 28, 2009, 01:05:52 AM

I'm glad to hear I was able to help. Thanks, Rob

. You're very much appreciated by me, too

.

Side Note: I'm glad to see your brother was okay. That really sounded like a scary experience

Recently jedi472 has shown great sensibility and composure in a situation that was a very typical "escalation" situation where things could have really gone down the drain. I really feel that he deserves great credit for showing more self-control and perhaps stoicism than many of us. Hats of to you for that one jedi472

Anna Cancerian Tiger really commands my respect for being deeply religious but never imposing her believes on anyone. It is probably not much of a surprise that recent posts of religious conflict have sparked some discussion in the staff room and I think it altogether fitting your you to know that you have often been cited as a shining example how one can believe and also express this believe without imposing it on anyone

I just love the picking up of discussion in the land before time sections and though I am not as active in them these days (having a lot on my mind to deal with) as I would like to I want to express my appreciation for all those who are particularly involved with the picking up of activity. Especially Almaron, Pangea, Serris, and DarkWolf91 (lovely art!)

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #158 on:** October 02, 2009, 01:36:33 PM

I would like to issue a thanks and an apology to Noname. When I saw you had replied to Alex in his goodbye post, I thought you were taking the opportunity to remind him of his bad behavior or reinforce your own position.

But then I read your post, and it was an honest and sincere wish that he return. It even conceded that you yourself have made mistakes.

Well, I'm admitting a mistake of my own, because I'd judged you wrong. Thanks for wrapping up the Alex fiacso on a high note, and let's hope the next issue doesn't doesn't spin quite as out of control.

Noname · **Reply #159 on:** October 02, 2009, 03:10:04 PM

And thank YOU, LBT for being able to handle the situation so well. I admit that I sometimes spend too much time arguing over stupid points on the internet... and sometimes attach too much importance to an issue that I would never argue about in a face-to-face conversation... no matter who started it, I shouldn't have let it continue. And thanks for being the second one to issue an apology to me over that silly issue. Within a week or two, it will be forgotten, I believe.

This really made my day, LBT, so thank you VERY much.
