I don't think I've ever done one of these but here's an attempt. I'm gonna mention a lot of players, both past and present because praise is where it is due. So I'll give my piece and state a brief fact that maybe no one would have known or may have forgotten. I'm going to do this in multiple parts as I want to cover as much people as I can. I know people have their reservations about me, but personally, I doesn't bother as much as it used to anymore. "Ball up top" ⛹️
@Hepburn - You're an amazing RPer and someone I've always enjoyed talking to. It was always refreshing to bounce ideas off you because you'd always give the type of feedback I needed: honesty. I understand the reasons you stopped playing and hope that someday you'll start playing. Is really good at structuring complex RP systems.
@MrFacts1 - Although you're a relatively new player, your seamless integration into the community has been a masterclass in kindness and patience. I know you've always maintained some apprehension related to the quality of your posts and whatnot, but rest assured brother: the quality of the posts improves each time you release a new one. What makes you, as a player very refreshing, is that you're always willing to know to learn and take on advice. Don't ever abandon that trait. Has that "new player" passion that a lot (including myself) try to recapture.
@Mbites - I'll be honest with you...chicken butt. But on a very real note, you've always been a treat to play with since I started playing this game back in 2015. I've always maintained that you're one of the calmer, easier-going German speakers I've met online. From Austria and was once involved in a political campaign
@Rogue - You're one of the most passionate players in this community. Always coming up with new ideas to shake up the community, be it through talk shows, the audio-news sections you once did etc. I know that you do a lot of posts for the sake of greater opportunities for players throughout the community to get involved in and I think that you've gone beyond the call of duty. I may have had my reservations against you especially related to always having to make news headers, but those requests unironically improved the way I make them and I can't thank you enough for that among other things. Once attempted to buy the game from Wouter with his own money to save it from being abandoned.
@Zanz - Hands down a dedicated moderator/old-head within the community. It always reassuring to DM you and ask questions. and simply gauge your opinion of certain decisions. Wishing you all the best regarding your IRL issues and hope that eventually, you'll be able to return in a more substantive, active role. Once did an entire story arch about a fisher vendor and a van
@James - One of the most dedicated and understanding moderators within the community. I still hold a lot of apprehension about myself regarding the things I've done previously (re: plagiarism) and I've always found it reassuring that I could always count on you to hear me out and to be taken seriously. You've unironically changed my outlook on the community and the game as a whole and I really hope that you'll return to the game sometime in the future. Cricket fan and an amazing map maker
@Auditori/Farsun - You were one of the first persons I ever interacted with when I joined this game. It was through PaleRider I was introduced to you. You've had an immense impact on some of my IRL hobbies. I remember when i first started back in 2015 reading through your posts under Gath and thinking to myself that I'd like to be able to do posts like that someday. Because of you (to an extent), one of my major hobbies in IRL is military history. Is extremely passionate about Star Wars and converted me into a fan of the franchise
@Doc - You have been a major influence on the way I've made my posts since I returned. I always enjoyed your long-format posts and your attention to the minute details. I know that when I DM you on a potential idea you'd always come through with a way to enhance it. We've "argued" once, but that was literally a miscommunication and I continue to value your presence in this community. Has a podcast with another gentleman that's unironically funny to listen to.
@Kubrick - We haven't gotten along on previous occasions but I maintain that you're one of the better RP'ers out of Majatra (speaking about those players who've exclusively played there since I first joined). I've always enjoyed reading your posts, especially those related to the Jelbek culture and still go back and re-read a lot of the posts you made during the Great Terran War. Is one of the few players to have used a nuclear weapon in PT.
@Polites - I know I could always come to you if I have a question related to any culture in the game. It was daunting going to Aloria when you transformed it into a Celtic state and I think that it was an amazing addition to the game. I'll be forever grateful for your guidance in helping me to turn Vorona into a Caribbean state, something I've always wanted to do since I first started playing the game 9 years ago. Basically an encyclopedia of PT cultural knowledge
@Vesica - You, alongside Farsun/Auditorii, are one of the reasons I enjoy military RP and would hopefully like to get back into Battle Unseen posts. Our Cold War-esque RP between Trigunia and Hutori after the Great Terran War, stands as one of the best RP experiences I have ever had in this game. He's been an advisor/aide to some Canadian politicians
@Alaskancrabpuff - I remember when you first started playing the game when the NC was still a thing. You had a lot of questions regarding that sort of RP and it was extremely refreshing to be able to articulate some of those thoughts. Honestly miss playing with you in Dolgava and hope that you'll be able to play again sometime. Avid outdoorsman
@iltamzumrah/blowingnorthwind - You're hands done with the best graphic designers in this community. The way I've seen you vectorized those complex east asian images I honestly amazing because I would never put myself through that. Beyond that, you're one of the few players that actually takes time to research RP ideas to ensure that they're authentic and true to what you're attempting to mimic. Doesn't think he's good at graphic design. Get a load of this guy
@Journey - I've never seen someone with such talent doubt themselves at every occasion. Your graphics are literally unmatched, better than others in my honest opinion so i don't think you should be concerned there. At this point, we're literally the guardians of Saridan because we've basically rescued that nation from being "just another apartheid state". I know you feel as though you're running out of steam and that's fine. Never place this game ahead of your IRL ambitions. One of the kindest players in this community.
Part I
