Holy Shit!!! I can't believe it but it happened! I have to gush, send out kudos, and overall just jump up and let those spirit fingers fly as
The Walking Dead hits it
2 year strong mark!!!! I am so freaking excited!!! This has been one hell of a roller coaster ride when it comes to RP's. We are on our second phase of the RP, we have had over two dozen people die, lost 3 limbs, had all kinds of hell break loose in the Rp but it has kept trucking.
Not only has it kept on even though so many told me when I started it that there were plenty of TWD Rp's out there and they all died so I shouldn't even bother, it keeps gaining momentum. We have had a lot of Rpers along the way in the RP, some have stayed, some have left, a lot have had to make new characters because their others died. No matter what, we have kept is going strong for two years now. I have seen Rpers blossom so much over the course of this RP, finding their nitch, growing, exploring ideas and terrain they hadn't before. It has truly been a pleasure and one of my favorite Rps to host ever.
I want to send a huge thanks out there to everyone that has participated in it so far and call out all the current members of the RP specifically....
@Sigil You have been in this Rp since before I even posted an interest check for it. You were the one that told me that no matter what anyone said about how it would just fail I could make is work. You have lost some great characters over the last two years.. ~still weeps for Caesar~ but you have grown so much as an Rper. Seeing the progress you have made with Ash and James on an emotional level is astounding. Thank you so much for sticking it out with me all this time.
@Morose - You haven't been here since the beginning but you have been here a long time. I swear, I have never had more fun Rping out monopoly games and trying to get a Russian and a Bostonian to understand each other than I do with you LOL. Not to mention that Jack and Tati have to be the most gag worthy lovey ship ever. They are just so sickenly sweet it's tots adorbs! And god, Ryan and Chloe? The ship that will never sail but makes you wish it could! Just goes to prove that even ships that love each other can't always work out and that is okay. Not only is it okay but it makes for great story telling! I cannot wait to see what happens next ^_~
@Rivaan - Riv, man - how you have grown since you first joined up! I will admit that I was a bit worried if you were going to be able to keep up when you first joined but you put all my worries to rest very quickly and Amelia is just the sweetest thing. I cannot wait to see what is in-store for her. I love your posts and I know no matter what I toss out at you that you're going to end up doing or saying something that even I didn't expect. Looking forward to every last twist and turn to come!
@FantasyChic - Okay, I am going to admit that Tiffany was a character that I loved to hate and I was beginning to wonder if she was going to end up being placed in the same category as Josephine but as the weeks and months have rolled by I have been surprised, pleasantly so, so see the growth in the character and also to see the finer details coming out between her and Ray. You have proven yourself to be a versatile Rper that can take on any role and make it uniquely yours. Thank you so much for letting me be part of that and get to witness it.
@Caits - Omg girl, we butted heads like all get out when you first joined. That struggle was so real! But we got through it and Niesha has become one of my favorite characters in the RP! (God, who knew I would ever say that! LOL) She has grown so much as a character and you have as an Rper. I know you doubt your posts from time to time but please don't. They are wonderful and I look forward to each and every one of them! I am so looking forward to the upcoming months in RP for so many reasons but one of those is to see how Niesha handles dealing with Tati while preggy in the middle of Zombie Central! This is gonna be good!
@Nallore - My sweet sweet taco loving harem building little minx! You taught us the most important lesson of all in this RP - Never kiss a corpse ~Ducts from the incoming limb~ LOL I love ya girl and you have probably grown more as an Rper than anyone else since we started this journey. You pick up on the little details, can run with anything tossed at you (limb included), and never back down from anything Lady Luck throws at you! My god, it has been an amazing journey.
@ONL - Okay newbie, you're still the young blood here but hey I am loving Alexander so far. He is such a change from Haakon and you really pulled out all the stops when you created the character. Seeing the start of what is bound to be a very interesting set of character interactions has left me laughing out loud literally. I cannot wait to see what type of tea cozy he digs up. Keep up the amazing work and remember, there is always time for Crumpets and Tea!!!
There are so many more I want to gush about. People that came and left but damn there are a lot. Of course there are with an Rp that has been around two freaking years. Having said that I couldn't have a gush post without calling out at least 1 person in particular.
@Charnobylisk - Girl, my other half. God I miss you in the RP but I totally understand why you had to pull out. I hope one day you can come back full force. All the drama you helped to stir up in IC has been some of my most favorite memories in the RP. Lon live Zoick and may they finally find happiness now that they are both worm food LOL
And on that note, I am going to leave you all with a little blast from the past. Our tribute to the fallen during the first chapter of the RP. Don't worry, a new one will be made once we rack up a bit more of a death count for this year! :P
