Let's Gush!

[Gardevoiran]

Fuck it now I wanna gush.

@ProPro
This man. This motherfuckin' man.

This dude is probably one of the best GMs I've ever played with.

I remember when his Worm setting started about a year ago and I saw it. I knew nothing about Worm and I submitted a character that was... bad. Really bad. So bad that I don't want to go into detail on how bad it was. He pointed out the problems with him and when I scrapped him, he was... I'd say pleasantly surprised with how I acted and my willingness to continue trying. After acceptance of my actual first character, I went through some weird ass phases and ended up in a bit of turmoil because my naive brain was eager to post. Henceforth, Pro told me to dial it back and give people reaction times. I agreed, and afterwards I joined the Skype group he had set up for that setting.

Brotherhood ensue. Despite what he had going on in his life, he was there when I had questions and shit about settings, and I have since been in several settings with his other characters, like the ghosty spirit V, Bartholomew K. Runch, and probably the best so far, Shrimp Brigade Prime.

From being willing to give me a second chance with characters, giving me a shot at making some dumb (but incredibly funny) art for you to use in New Horizons, and tolerating my dumb self when I've been the biggest of idiots, this guy still somehow thinks of me as a good sport.

In the wise words of the mailman from Rick and Morty...

Shout out to the wonderful @Ophidian for sticking with me until our first RP together drew to a lovely and touching close. It might not have turned out like what we were anticipating, but that's far from a complaint. This gentleman is as clever as he is conscientious and I couldn't ask for a better partner, and that goes for both his delectable posts and our inspiring and reflective OOC chatter.

Cheers, love, to many more! <3

I've said it once before in this thread, but these people are amazing. Not only have they helped me in the past, but they're also the cast of my longest RP yet on this forum. Five months, nearly 300 IC posts and 1000 OOC posts (including countless Discord messages), and even with a couple of bumps along the way, we're still kicking along and slaying titans like nobody's business.

As always:

@Poi

I like myself because Idk. You're cool too.

[The Mage]

@Sanctus Spooki gets a special mention because I haven't been so fracking excited for anything as awesome as our roleplay since I first watched Vikings. The time and effort you put into your posts, the detail and diction presented,and how well you manage to mesh the characters into a pre-established setting so well is just so amazing!

A toast to you!

[Lady Absinthia]

Okay, have to throw a major gush out there to all my peeps in Darker Than Black! @Dragoknighte @Sigil @Morose @Scallop @Nallore & @FantasyChic. We have hit a new milestone and DTB joins the ranks of Duplicity and The Walking Dead to be in the 2 year strong club of the Rps I am currently gming!!! OMFG Can you believe it!?!?! So take a bow you sleuths! Two years, on our third chapter, and we still have only just begun!

[Lady Absinthia]

Oh ho ho! Time to gush again! This time about my peeps in Soulless Regency: @mnkee @Sigil @Rivaan @Sputnik & @Morose. It's been 12 months already since we started this twisted adventure. We have laughed, we have cried, and currently most of you I am pretty sure plotting a 101 ways to slaughter Lord Rutherford. Hard to believe it's already been a year. You lot have made me stress, pull my hair out, scream, and constantly be on edge to what the fuck you are going to pull next. I mean seriously, you have given me more headaches than any single group ever has and that is saying something. And you know what?

I love it!!!!! Thank you so much for the awesome year and I cannot wait to see what the next one holds. ^_^

[Darcel]

We are all here to roleplay, share stories and release our imagination, creat an amusements that will never do any harm to the world we are living. But what can we do other than roleplaying? To me, it's reading and exploring around soundlessly.

[xodus]

I have never been one to write unnecessarily long and I won't start now. And so keeping it brief and to the point, I simply love these three who have been a part of my RP family for over an year. In fact if not for them I would have quite possibly abandoned my RP and most likely would have stopped RPing.

@FallenReaper

@Rtron

@Ryver et Rhine

All three of you have made RPG a memorable place and Chrono Asylum a memorable RP and I know for a fact as long as I have you guys with me, we will finish CA one day. You guys are the best. =p

[Lady Absinthia]

Okay, it is no secret. I gush about the peeps in my RP's a lot. Why wouldn't I? They are freaking amazing! I am very lucky to have one of the best group of Rpers to get down and dirty with between the posts. We plot, scheme, and roll out never ending twists and turns. Between the six Rp's I am currently Gming it is never a dull moment. Whether it is trying to stop a global conspiracy in Darker Than Black, surviving the latest trials and tribulations in The Walking Dead, hunting down a Necromancer in Duplicity, solving a mystical prophecy in Deeper Than The Sands, traveling the 'Verse in After Miranda, or just #fuddling in Soulless Regency my Rpers keep my on my toes! And I sure as hell do what I can to keep them on theirs.

Collectively between the six Rp's we have lost dozens of characters but that doesn't stop us. Doesn't matter how sick one of us gets, how much work or school is stressing us, what is going on we keep trucking. Sure we have had our hiccups along the way but it doesn't matter. We deal, we correct, and we move on. We trust each other to pick up on cues, roll with the punches, and handle anything that comes our way. They were all amazing when they joined up but seeing each of them grow over the months/years is astounding. I would tag them but there are soooooo many I don't think the forum would actually send out all the tags. Just know each and everyone of them rocks and they all will forever have my gratitude for letting me Gm all this madness!

Yet, gushing about them is not why I am here today. This is a little more than that. Today Soulless Regency hit its 1 year strong mark. That in and of itself is amazing but there is more to it than that. With Soulless Regency reaching this milestone it pushes another one to the spotlight. Now I currently have 6, count them 6 Rp's that have been running for a year or more! To be specific, I have 3 at the year+ mark and 3 at the 2 year mark. Now that is something. So I am here to pat myself on the fucking back!

I don't care if it comes off as prideful or ego. I am damn proud of myself to be able to put together not just one but half a dozen Rp's that are trucking this long. Ones with complex story lines, wonderful posts, twists and turns. Rp's that not only bring in new people but ones that hook people to go "I am going to join this one and this one and this one too that you are hosting!" It takes a hell of a lot of work that has to be fit in between my own persona life, which is hectic as hell. I dedicate a lot to these Rp's, months of planning before each one is launched, a lot of one on one time with each Rper to keep things going, working in their minor story arcs but still keep the main ball running. Romance and heart ache mixed in with mystery and shock. Knowing when to and where to place clues, when to throw a monkey wrench into the works, when to shake things up, when to let them just roll.

Without the Rpers in my group I know I wouldn't have near the success with my Rp's that I do but I also know what I do is a big chunk of the success of my Rp's. And so damn it, I am gushing about myself. Every now and then a Gm has to take a step back and give themselves a pat on the back. Marvel at the work they do and just be proud of what they have helped to bring together. So this is my moment and I hope it serves as a reminder next time I get stressed out and want to scream over shit going down that in the end it is completely and totally worth every last ounce of frustration. So for myself, and every other Gm out there that does the job, I just want to say well done! We rock!

[Lady Absinthia]

@Sigil @Dragoknighte @The Grey Dust @Rivaan

Okay, major props to the peeps in Duplicity! Been at this 2 years, we are winding down, and we hit the illustrious 1000 IC post mark! Take a bow you beautiful peeps! Then get your butts back into that tower, we gotta job to do. ^_^

[Blue Demon]

This thread needs more love. My awesome and amazing news is this:

I kicked depression in the butt after struggling with it for close to three years. Take that! I never knew I could feel so happy!

[Lady Absinthia]

@Blue Demon Now that is something worth gushing over! Congrats and keep it up. ^_^

[Lady Absinthia]

There are few times in the life of a Gm where they can sit back, look at an Rp, and go "I am completely satisfied." It just doesn't happen very often. Most of the time a Gm struggles. To get things organized, to get them off to the ground, to keep things moving, to keep enough people in the Rp, to not be overwhelmed by too many in the Rp, to keep it from moving too fast or too slow, to keep people from fighting in the OOC, to keep things from getting stagnate in the IC, and on, and on, and on it goes.

Yet right now, right at this moment I am COMPLETELY satisfied with my RP The Paradoxical Emendation. This RP has been over a year in the making, it directly connects (and impacts) every other RP I am currently Gming, is tied to at least half a dozen past Rp, and at least 3 future Rps. Clues, information, and such have been laced through them for months on end. As soon as I let my peeps know I was going to release a new one, they jumped on it, grabbing Cs's and getting ready before the Interest Check even went live. Soon as it did, we had Cs's ready to go, and new comers jumping in. Not to mention people were even willing to join my other Rps to get in on this one, to have a character killed off just so they could finish their CS and be a part of this one. The dedication (maybe slight obsession) level of them is mind boggling.

And now, we are 1 month into the RP. We are closed off to more people because I have a back log I have to work through to bring in the next characters! It is running smoothly as I could ever hope for, it is getting settled in, and moving like clock work. It is astounding.

So I want to take a moment to thank some people for giving me this moment....

@Sigil @Dragoknighte @Morose - You are my Emendators, my core peeps, those I am closest too actively on the forum. This RP would be NOWHERE without you. Thank you for putting up with the hell that was creating each of your Emendators. For not pushing for more information that I needed to keep hidden until specific times so it wouldn't ruin things in other Rps you are in, and for just putting up with my ass getting this entire monster project together.

@Nallore - Thank you for not throwing a limb at me and getting your butt in there to help kick everything off. I know no matter what is going on I have you in my corner, even if it means you are missing a limb or two. You remind me in the end it is all fun and games no matter what else is spinning out of control.

@FantasyChic @mnkee @Natsu - You three probably went through more to get into this Rp than anyone and I thank you for it. You didn't have a dead character laying around you wanted to use. It didn't matter, you picked an RP, you drew up a full CS (which considering it is one of my Cs's that is no little task), you went through hell to get killed, and then you started all over and got your Paradox Cs together (not to mention the relations). And even after all that, you had to wait to be brought in. Had to get in line and wait your turn. You did, you picked up the gauntlet and got the job done. (Well Natsu is in the middle of bringing Bart in. ^_~)

[Todd Howard]

Shoutout to @HokumPocus for making me laugh so hard I thought I was actually going to die

[HokumPocus]

I FORGOT THEIR NAME LOL @Raddum

In keeping with the theme of this thread, I'd like to give thanks to everyone in the discord for making me shart myself on a regular basis with a constant stream of buffoonery. If it weren't for @Poi greeting me in the introduction thread I would have never signed up for his roleplay and consequently would have never met you wonderful people, so I'd like to thank him for that

Also, a thread being named "Let's Gush!" is stirring some things within me and I'm not sure how to feel about that

[Lady Absinthia]

Today's all Shiny Captain! We have hit the two year forum mark for After Miranda and I just have to gush about my peeps! It's a small group but damn we have fun and keep on trucking. @Sigil @Morose @Bluesky44 @FantasyChic - You peeps rock and hell, just for putting up with Foy and Jahosafat you should have earned a medal. But I don't have any medals, so you will have to deal with...

[AlteredTundra]

I don't normally post here, but I just wanted to give some love to @Hero and @Dirty Pretty Lies. You two are wonderful, beautiful women. <3

[Lady Absinthia]

@Sigil @Nallore @Morose @ONL @Rivaan @Caits @FantasyChic
@Therealslayer @Dragoknighte @Natsu @Bluesky44 @The Grey Dust @mnkee

As per usual I have to take a moment and gush about my peeps. This time though, more than normal. It is one thing to have this wonderful group day in and day out. Some of them have been in my Rps for years now, some are new. Every day they log in, every day they post. They create wonderful characters, sub plots, keep trucking even when things get tense. Never matter what happens, I know I can count on my peeps to get the job done and more than just slapped together - Don't right and be awe inspiring.

Never was this more true and evident than this past week. While I know a lot of groups had to put things on pause, my group didn't. Not for a single moment. Posting was moved to a private forum just for us, and they kept at it. They didn't have to, it wasn't part of what they signed up for, yet they did nonetheless.

So guys and dolls, you need to know just how fucking amazing you are. Seriously. In all my years of Rping I have never have the privilege nor the honor to have such an amazing and dedicated group of Rpers to Gm for. Not only are you all some of the funnest Rpers to be around, both IC and OOC, you level of dedication is beyond anything I could have ever hoped for in a group. It doesn't matter if shit hits the fan, if the forum glitches, if it goes down fully for days on end you just don't give up. You don't quit. You don't falter. Hell you don't even trip up for a second.

I know I have bragged and gushed about most of you in the past. I probably sound like a broken record a lot of the time with my "you guys rock" and "thank you" in this topic over and over again. (At times I swear this topic needs to be renamed The Lady A Is Gushing topic.) Yet I mean it, now more than ever. I wish there was a better way to say thank you, to let you know how much I appreciate each and every one of you. Please just know that I do. I wouldn't trade my job as your Gm for anything. No matter how stressful it gets, how much I want to pull my hair out... You ALL are worth each and every second I dedicate to our Rps.

So once again, for the record...

[Lady Absinthia]

Because the forum only tags so many at a time... had to tag you here. Look up!
@Therealslayer @Dragoknighte @Natsu @Bluesky44 @The Grey Dust @mnkee

[spicykvnt]

Just wanna give a quick gush about @Lady Amalthea I've never roleplayed with you but I always see you in this thread consistently being positive and encouraging to so many members, it's really nice to see and you're obviously such a light in this community.
