I am having a lot of fun learning about @Lin and being an Abbess with her, thanks for giving me that chance. I'm happy you've decided to stick around and try new things, I know how hard it is to get out of my shell and roleplay with people, so good for you for making a bold move!
Thank you to Shadow for putting one hell of a fight for Orrery and winning it for the first time in a while. After this last fight, there were 20 (!) of you there and that wasn't including another half dozen people at least that are usual players/combatants!
It's been good, clean fun with no falling out (that I've seen). As frustrating as it is to be on the losing side, kudos to you guys for showing out and brawling hard.
Thank you also to the Spirit side who have showed out, in particular the host of newer folk that were allowing us to, at the very least, compete on relatively equal footing! You guys did a great job!
You've all been so fun-spirited and have approached my trying character with excellent sportsmanship. I sincerely appreciate it. Thank you, guys. More RP please.
A big thank you to @Naos for dropping by to do some RP when I least expect it! You've been an amazing gem through the few interactions I've had.
Thanks to @Omei for our interactions as well, which are always inspiring. I love every moment we get a chance to have some fun and weave stories together!
It's a very small thing, but seeing @Kyna show up to do Very Important Admin duties with @Tekias while we were mid-scene, and apologising for interrupting was mildly refreshing to see! It's not the first time a scene has been interrupted for that reason in an IRE during my time playing, but it's the first time the admin thought to say sorry and then encourage us to keep having fun on our way out. Just a little thing that brightened my day.
Earlier today I was asked if I enjoyed being GM, and I genuinely do.
But that got me thinking: GM is often times a very thankless, very difficult job. It can be beyond stressful, sometimes we get agitated, we get short with people. We deal with people day and day out. Admin and player alike. (We're human! God-unicorns-it sometimes!) But usually we're all doing the best we can, no matter what kind of day we're having, to hopefully try to make our guild members have fun. Whether it's one on ones, communal, or even just conversation over GT.
I've been having a blast in Aetolia lately, and I can't say thank you enough to the people I've recently interacted with. There's a lot of side development lately for Elene, some of them good, some of them bad, and some of them completely unexpected. Having the fortune to have interactions from both Spirit and Shadow is definitely something I hope to continue to foster, and I hope it hasn't been too hard on you guys to play along.

Your boy got through level 99 with a single power bash from @Rebra with plenty of encouragement from @Callidora on the way. @Meltas got what he wanted, too! I'm an Idrethi now and I can't begin to tell you what that means.
I'm really happy playing the game and having character growth, while getting to form nice bonds with other players as well. Keep being awesome, everyone!
I have a few thank yous to hand out, now that Martinaux has been promptly retired. Thank you to @Ayastia, @Swara, @Runk, @Evoran, @Taaroshi, @Krogyr, @Savas, @Rak, @Kylan, @Ardent, @Raynia for being awesome roleplayers. Thank you to Spinesreach and the Sciomancer guild for being such a warm and welcoming place. I am probably missing a few people, but I've had a few rough days and I mean no offense in that. My head is just a bit tired.
Finally, I want to give a huge, HUGE THANK YOU to @Tiur, for checking in on me and for his extremely kind words. They were needed and I appreciate them so very much. I cannot thank you enough for that.
Hey, a game where people say nice things! Thanks to @Tenshyo for helping me out earlier both ic and ooc. I am still trying to figure this char out, so I hope the low flavor was not to annoying.

You're welcome! I'm looking forward to seeing how the character develops!

I meant to do this much sooner, but a big thank you to the person behind @Slyphe. Despite my initial worries, you've made every tiny interaction encouraging and worthwhile, and have really made me feel good about what I've been doing with Phoe recently. Thank you so much!
I want to thank all the Archivists, especially @Amarita, @Akaryuterra, @Lilein, @Zarni, @Elaz, @Taaroshi, @Nahuaque and @Tzaarhashet. The Archivist guild is going through a huge transition and restructuring all of their laws, requirements, and internal structures. I know it’s a lot of work as players and it’s exhausting. It’s a transition for everyone but it’s cool to see everyone getting excited and working together through the slog. Thank you x1,000,000.

So Oonagh has been in a very weird place. He is torn between loyalties. Questioned by his choices in faith.
Ultimately in his heart he feels what he is doing is for the best reasons. Amidst adversity though hes riddled with doubt, especially after hearing things of his former Patron and others in Enorian and how they view the Divine he follows. Its not a bad thing, as its providing a huge amount of character development and opportunities for Roleplay and growth.
Recently he was considering leaving Duiran, but the idea of going against his own morals to embrace Shadow on a more tangible level led to him breaking down in the moment he was about to hand in his dhurive and forsake an oath he made to the Pride.
Nevertheless, no matter the amount of interaction...if its just a conversation in tells, a brief passing emote....whatever. Thank you for being part of Oonagh's story, you enrich my experience.
Also @Rhine ...thanks for getting drunk with Oonagh afterwards
I'd like to take a moment to thank everyone that attended Oemeria's little art exhibit, and I sincerely hope everyone that did found it enjoyable and had fun. A lot of RP and work went into the making of the paintings, and I found way more support along the way than I expected when I started.
Special thanks to @Saidenn for all his work on the reception part, it was all very well thought-out and just lovely, as well as his modeling. And many special thanks to everyone else who volunteered as a model! @Galena, @Lilein, @Qelres, @Tila, @Evoran (most of whom should apparently get forum accounts ).
Despite my being in the middle of moving, and the serious nap I needed to be able to make howling (2am for me), I am so glad that I did, and I hope for a repeat in the future. Thanks!
This is much belated, but also much deserved. To whoever was the last volunteer to play @Ethne, thank you very much for re-enabling the interaction messages on my Aure gloves. It's a small thing, but it means a lot. I nearly cried when I realized they were back, nevermind Mel herself. As if I didn't enough already, I really regret having been away from the game for so long and missing out on thanking you in person! Whatever you're doing now, thank you for your hard work.
The past two or three days have been particularly great for Elene's character development. It's been, in some ways, a slow culmination of numerous roleplay arcs from the past that's been carried into the present, and the current that's still continuing to unfold.
When you've been playing a character that has seen through many tumultuous eras, slept a few more away, and then woke up surrounded by many new faces amongst the one-handed finger count of the old, familiar ones, it's hard to define what your character's motivation should be any more. I'm surprised to find out that there's still room for Elene to grow and explore, and I'm thankful for all the people who have made it a point to roleplay with me from my return four months ago to now.

I'll take your example and try it out sometime
I'm back now (mostly) and should return to my previous levels of activity, since I'm down to 60 hours a week from 72+.
It's been good, clean fun with no falling out (that I've seen). As frustrating as it is to be on the losing side, kudos to you guys for showing out and brawling hard.

@Chakarasul and @Iosyne. What a treat. You are spoiling me. Thank you so much for the RP, I'm having an absolute ball with it! @Zaila, @Sekeres, @Cai, @Taj, @Mjoll, @Ephi, @Gyana, @Oemeria, @Rijetta, @Naos, @Ayuna, @Phoenecia, and the whole of the @Carnifex, @Bloodloch, and Iosyne's congregation.
You've all been so fun-spirited and have approached my trying character with excellent sportsmanship. I sincerely appreciate it. Thank you, guys. More RP please.
You might even say that I unicornsing love CoCayn.
(Sorry I needed to get that out of my system).
I'm such a sucker for houseRP so thank you for indulging with me.
Thanks to @Omei for our interactions as well, which are always inspiring. I love every moment we get a chance to have some fun and weave stories together!

So, to my fellow Guildmasters out there: @Mjoll @Callidora @Zenobia @Aloli @Rhine @Aishia @Xavin @Benedicto @Amarita @Raynia and @Savas
Thank you.
You guys know who you are. Thank you!
Also, @Chakrasul for unexpected appearance.

Always interested in knowing how I'm doing!
