Evil, yes; crazy, perhaps... but sad/emo? WTF! You eat emos for breakfast!

Why do you think I turn emo? Trying to handle them is so hard on my psyche that I turned into one too.

My sentiments exactly. Definately seen evil, crazy is a byproduct of being in any sort of proximity to me, but.... EMO!?

My fluffy orca is more emo than you are, and it's not emo at all.

That being said, rose to Clise for putting up with me and my sometimes vastly incoherent existence.

rose to felandi for being honest! You deserve it!

Here is Xavius... trying to get information on Viravain from me. His tactic?... a song...

Xavius tells you, "Ninety-nine birds of a feather fly by, ninety-eight birds in
the skyyyyyy! Wyrden drought, one falls out, ninety-eight birds of a feather fly
by!"

You tell Xavius, "*laughs* How... cute.."

Xavius tells you, "Ninety-eight birds of a feather fly by, ninety-eight birds in
the skyyyyyy! Wyrden drought, one falls out, ninety-seven birds of a feather fly
by!"

Xavius tells you, "Ninety-seven birds of a feather fly by, ninety-seven birds in
the skyyyyyy! Wyrden drought, one falls out, ninety-six birds of a feather fly
by!"

You tell Xavius, "Oh my you are quite serious, how funny.."

---------- Several birds later... -------------------

Xavius tells you, "We're not halfway yet! Tell me what I need to know!"

Xavius tells you, "Fifty-nine birds of a feather fly by, fifty-nine birds in the
skyyyyyy! Wyrden drought, one falls out, fifty-eight birds of a feather fly by!"

You tell Xavius, "Oh, I do believe I'm starting to hear your voice squeak... or
maybe it's puberty.. who knows--Nope. Sorry. No-can-do."

------- Gets an image of a bad American Idol singer who is boring his judges. Tick Tock ---------------

Xavius: "Thirty-seven birds of a feather fly by, thirty-seven birds in the
skyyyyyy! Wyrden drought, one falls out, thirty-six birds of a feather fly by!"

Xavius: "Look, Gwynevere, it's a simple yes or no question."

Xavius: "Help me help you."

Xavius: "Aha, someone else broke. What wonderful timing."

------------------ Nooooooo! I sat through 62 birds darnit! *CRIES* -----------

Hehehe me after...


And a rose to Xavius for being so determined!

A white rose to Dylara. I hope everything gets better.

I'm not much of a fan of the whole "sign my forum yearbook" thing, but, especially for Glom, morale is sort of low, etc., so I thought I'd take a shot at it, as there have been some people that have really made my overall gaming experience worthwhile. I apologize in advance for anyone who finds themselves on this list with anyone they don't like. Presence on this list should not be interpreted as a blanket endorsement of anything any of them have ever done (it sucks that I feel like I have to make disclaimers like that), but I appreciate all these people for one reason or another, and I want to tell them.

In order of appearance:

Nirrti - The reason I'm in the Blacktalon at all. Your intelligence, historical views, help with my questions out of game, and even help with my system have probably contributed more to my Lusternia career than anything else. I wish we got to play together in-game more often, but what interactions we've had have been superb.

Shayle - Although we haven't played together much recently, I'll never forget how you took an interest in Xin in his early years when few others did and helping him get on his feet, as well as many fun RP interactions all around. You are a great RPer with a very well-defined, interesting character, and the fun I had with you is a large part of why I stuck around, initially. No matter what evolutions Xin may go through, Glomdoring will, at its most basic level, be for me (and him) the Place Where Shayle Is.

Yeralih - It is possible that you are the most intelligent person I know, and I know a lot of people. You have a lot of courage in creating a character that has not only powerful strengths, but also gaping flaws. Your ability to play your character is uncannily consistent. I hope people understand that. Your portrayal of Yeralih is so flawless that one could almost mistake her for a denizen (I mean that in a good way). ICly, you have instilled in Xin a love for Blacktalon he might never have had and provided him with many valued moments of both guidance and companionship. OOCly, you have provided me with a level of RP interaction that could probably go into a novel.

Kundu - I don't think you read these forums, but nevertheless, you're one of the good guys. You were the first Blacktalon to take ownership of Xin's training, and you were tireless in it. Somehow, magically, you seem to have avoided the intricate web of past alliances and slights that seem to be behind nearly every problem in Glomdoring. You are just interested in Glomdoring's welfare and doing the right thing, which in my book, counts for a whole lot.

Arkzrael - Such an interesting character with an interesting story. You are also one of those people who are really just trying to do the right thing, and in many ways, you embody a pro-Glomdoring spirit that would put many Gloms to shame. You're an inspiration and one of Glomdoring's greatest assets. Speaking of assets, Arkzrael is also totally smokin'. Xin's first crush.

Viravain - You came into a very difficult situation for anyone, stuck with it, made your mistakes, grew from them, and kept on doing your best to provide a compelling Viravain. As time goes on, you impress me more and more (especially in these recent times) with your ability to adapt and deal with Glomdoring as its Patron. I'm not sure many, including myself, really have much of a point of reference for how difficult that task could be. You are always thinking about how to be a good Viravain to Glomdoring, which is exactly the right thing to want to be. Your interactions with Xin have been rich, multifaceted, and a lot of fun to play out. I wish I were a better OH for you, but you asked for it.

Amarysse - Hail, Seren witch. I have my Short List of Excellent and Thoughtful RPers, and you're on it. I'm not sure why Amarysse is still single, but I'm guessing it's at least partially because the number of men (or women) who could keep up with you in this regard is pretty small. There are a lot of things that happen in Glom that keep Xin from really being able to keep up his end of our interactions, consistently, but I've enjoyed heartily the quality of what times we've had, both the arguments and the relatively nicer conversations. It's been an interesting catalyst to Xin's own development, and it's been interesting to see this in Amarysse as well. You just can't beat an old school, pencil and paper RPer for interesting storylines and fun RP.

Moriana - Probably the one person in the entirety of Lusternia whose relationship with Xin is almost completely uncolored by his affiliations, friendships, or views on various things. That in and of itself is worth the price of admission. You have no idea how just simply refreshing it is both ICly and OOCly to spend time with you. Add to that the fact that you are far more intelligent, thoughtful, creative, and articulate than most people have a right to be, and you have a recipe for interactions that I covet.

Dylara - Hail, other Seren witch. Although our characters have never actually been in the same room (which is probably beneficial for my health), I've enjoyed the generic exchanges of scorn with the undertone of thoughtfulness. The best enemies IC are the people you can be pals with OOC, and it's made the whole thing deliciously fun.

Glomdoring in General - You are the most interesting and unique concept IRE has ever had for a player location, in my opinion, and the players who make up Glomdoring, although they may disagree sharply on the particulars of what Glomdoring ought to be, are committed to the overall vision. I've played online, multiplayer games for years, beginning with the early days of UO, and I have yet to run across a pack of such overall dedicated roleplayers. I know that, in many ways, I am probably frustrating for many of you. I know I have a tendency to support Group A in one thing and criticize them for another. Don't even get me started on Group B. Nevertheless, I hope that whatever disagreements we may have or whatever slights I may have committed, intentionally or unintentionally, that I've shown you that my heart is in the right place, everything that happens IC with me stays IC, and that there isn't a one of you Xin wouldn't die for. It's the least I could do for all the fun you've provided for me over the past few months.

A rose to Shayle, for the burdens lain on her shoulders by Glomdoring, for people thinking everthing is always her fault, and not realizing she is a real person first. So a purty lil rose for Shayle

Because I wrote it at a time when the forums were a bit wonky, it didn't get added to the Unread Posts list, it seems, for a lot of people. So, just because I put a lot of time into it, this serves as notice that I did, indeed, write something in a post before the post before this one.

A rose to Christie, you know who you are, for enduring and dealing with junk on a weekly basis And a drink for the heck of it.

A rose to Shishi for give her the gold for a room in Isluna's manse, and Armand for kicking her rear for that last bit of gold and giving her some so she can have her own bedroom, and them both making sure she used the rooms to get her bedroom.

Sounds silly, but Isluna has been building to get others in the manse rooms and what not first.

To you each too.
