Tesha

There was a lot I liked! Too much to list concisely, that's for sure. Han-Tolneth was definitely awesome though!

Lorielan vs Twilight was an awesome debate. I really liked how much was revealed that wasn't publicly available before, and Nissa was adorable the whole time. Thanks for doing that!

No rave for Han-Tolneth? For his use of Aldar customs to not only sidestep two annoyed Elder Gods, but also (thanks to Nissa's choice to abstain) holding his vote and therefore his judgement over them for as long as he pleases?

You disappoint Me, Tesha.

Nerd.

The halfling's letter is so cute.

You all did a really outstanding job with the fair. And, honestly, anyone who presented anything at the fair -- fantastic job. It can take guts to write something up and put it on display for everyone in the game to see. And I honestly really do feel like everything I saw, I was able to find something I was able to enjoy. If you presented something, please, by all means, keep it up!

And if you didn't, but want to, I definitely encourage you to try it out. Your hands might be shaking at the end of it, some evil bastard named @Cooper might kill a centerpiece of your presentation, but it's such a great feeling after the fact.

Let's see -- @Truax and @Lii, thanks for everything with the Sophists and sorry again I messed it up so badly the first round. I had a lot of fun and I hope you both did, too. Same with @Sothantos, @Farrah, and @Jiraishin -- thanks for being so fun to go up against.

Thanks to @Tesha too for rolling with the punches for some of the stuff during the final debate. It made things just that much better.

That halfling child was just outstanding, so major props to the person (or people!) behind that. Seriously, when Coop iced the kid, the mood in the room changed immediately. That's how you know you've done a fantastic job with the denizens. Same thing with the Professor. What a masterclass on how to facilitate an engaging, effective, and *fun* presentation for something that doesn't translate well to a MUD like a lecture with just a few well-selected emotes and some internal consistency. My god, I don't know if I've laughed as much as I had at that in ages.

(And @Cooper, I know we talked about this earlier, but honestly the way things shook out was probably better than what I had written, so kudos to you for sticking to your evil Mhaldorian tendencies.)

And last but certainly not least, @Jadys, @Dunn, and @Skye for their encouragement in various ways.

This might be something weird to rave about, but while I thoroughly loved a lot about the fair and all its great presentations (fae ballet, water opera, tash'la lecture and creation myth, in addition to all the player-created stuff like the targ choose your own adventure and the Mhaldorian bal'met siege memory)  and interesting items and interactions, Ithink one of the most memorable things I most enjoyed learning was that the Gods refer to the Aldar as little brother/sister and vice-verse as Elders or elder brother/sister. Its such an interesting and endearing touch. 

Morthif

We were expecting/hoping for a few cities to enter the fray but Cyrene put up a really fun fight and they never gave up. One of my favorite crusades yet!

Farrah

I have been loving everything going on with my Caefir crew lately (and @Tesha). @Mezghar @Sothantos @Jiraishin

Whoever was animating the Adryns. @Twilight and Farrah's secret love interest, @Elon.    

So much juicy drama. And the way everything has gone down has been so much fun. Much

Wow!

This line is better if you interpret it as @Elon also being @Twilight's love interest.

Achaea's verison of the Trojan war as Elon as Hellen of Troy. This should be interesting, but if this does happen I demand a giant wooden horse!

Watching that Adryn thing unfold was some of the funniest stuff I've seen in months. Calamity Farrah indeed.

Trey

Have to give a shout out to the Admin team - they took something I saw inevitably coming and offered a compromise before I could even start to feel salty about it. Considering the nature of credits being what they are, they could have just left me hanging and didn't.

Jiraishin

I am having SO MUCH FUN with the current event.

Raves to @Twilight for inventively creepy punishments, @Tesha for hilarity, @Farrah, @Alasiel, @Mezghar and @Sothantos for being a great RP crew and also for not murdering me except for those couple of times which don't count. 

Cecelia

It's been a kind of rough time for me OoCly and Cece IC, but a lot of people have made things really enjoyable lately.

@Armali @Calira @Krizal @Mindshell

My main kind of group that keeps me engaged or just to chat with. Always appreciate you guys being around.

@Shirszae

Always willing to sit at the bank and loiter with Cece, which is nice when I'm working on scrolls or designs. The methodical way you RP is appreciated.

@Santar

You're weird. But Cece likes you.

@Marlo

Can't ever thank you enough for giving me the last push in credits for my tailor's license and letting me design things. It's been nice to RP with you whenever you're around, or you shoot me a quick tell!

@Taryius @Ameer @Orzaansyn

You guys are always fun to RP with on the Mhaldorian side, always willing to RP in some meaningful way or greet Cecelia when she sits on the bench at the Crossroads. I appreciate it.

@Flair @Amunet

I miss you guys You guys taught Cece about Chaos and visited her when she sat at Babel's Chapel, and that means a lot. Please come back soon.

@Voc @Tynil @Skye @Auria @Stefana @Tahquil

You guys (minus Tynil weep) keep Pisces alive and always respond back, and are really great in keeping my interest and love for the Nerai alive and kicking. Thank you for doing so much

@Stheno

No realistic story is a fairytale. No novel is captivating without conflict and character development. Achaea is one of those stories, and I appreciate your character! Cecelia and I admire your dedication to Evil and the chapter you're taking part in within Cecelia's book.

You missed Jir subsequently trying to communicate with Farrah via hand sign and getting cramps in his fingers as a result, was great.

You rain a flurry of blows down upon an orc captain with your stone fists.

You have scored a CRUSHING CRITICAL hit!

An orc captain exclaims, "Arrrggg! Yous will pays fur this!"

The blow is too much for the weakened form of an orc captain and he crumples, broken, to the ground.

You have slain an orc captain, retrieving the corpse.

Your soul cries out in ecstasy as it reaches new heights of power. You have advanced to level 98.

You have reached the illustrious level of Lord of Creation.

A large pile of sovereigns spills from the corpse.

So close.

Jir was significantly less angsty when he couldn't speak aloud...

Twi will be so surprised when you cave and bargain for the Eminent Master's curse to be made permanent.

Rave for these new death message additions. Still seeing a lot of interesting ones pop up each time I'm on. They're very well thought out.

Relief flashes on a mhun guard's frantic expression as his sword finally slides past armour and clothes and deep into Fauxstif's guts.

Customisation credits are cool.

The bridge caper was hilarious

I had to laugh cause I was thinking this is going down like a murder on the Orient Express kind of caper when it turned into a Monty Python sketch! I was dying laughing!

Torrent

Also Rave for the new Leather comm transfer!!!! Keep it up guys!!!!

Alasiel

I feel like doing one of these.

@Sothantos, @Farrah, @Jiraishin, @Mezghar, @Tesha - you guys are great, and a big part of why I have so much fun with the game. Also, the "group therapy session" was hilariously terrible and I loved it.

@Ada - I really appreciate how helpful and awesome you always are.

@Ellodin - best hunting buddy while bashing to dragon. *shakes fist at Bartok* Always enjoy talking with you IC or OOC!

@Stheno - you're always so much fun to interact with. Also, the stuff you and @Jurixe come up with are some of my favorite things in the game to read.

@Mathonwy - our conversations are a lot of fun. Good times!

@Talamond - you should play more who are you, again?

@Cerys - I miss you come back

Also - this is late, but I absolutely loved just about everything about the World's Fair. Great work to everyone who was involved in making content for it / did presentations!

EDIT: Also, Targossas in general.

Zenui

One of the (many) hilarious parts of the bridge 'theft' were the names. First, the fact that the thief was ultimately a Trole beneath a bridge. Second, the name of the investigator made the TV Tropes fanatic in me chuckle: Chief Inspector Wavel El-Mellon Cloussoi the Third = Lord El-Melloi II aka Waver Velvet from "The Case Files of Lord El-Melloi II"  plus Inspector Jacques Clouseau from the movie "The Pink Panther", with a possible dash of the thief/inspector shenanigans of "Lupin the Third"? Yes please.
