[HASH]challenge - Compliment other players! I'll post the ones I have, but this can be an ongoing challenge if you wish! Feel free to add your own compliments!
Tesarikfive. I always enjoy playing around him cause his character is just delightful and the few times I've spoken to him out of character he's always been very pleasing to talk to.
Tales of Beauty.: She is always iming me with Hi, and how are you. I don't answer her enough and I feel bad for it cause it always makes my day nicer to have someone say hello. I also enjoy Rping with her characters when I get the chance to.
Gar: He's always been friendly to me and has offered to help me more then once with working on stats and such. He also always asks me how I'm feeling if he knows I've been feeling icky.
Pam(tesarikone)- Pam has stuck through all my questions. Even the ones that I possibly repeat. Giving a good and thorough answer that I can understand, re-explaining in a way I can understand if I don't. Due to my medical condition my memory and such can be a little flawed. But Pam has always been polite and quick to respond with everything I ask. Even my questions that question her, she is right on top of it with a logical answer, never showing any irritation with my ignorance. Pam, you have no idea what that means to a player like me. Thank you for putting up with me! <3 Along with that, Pam is quick to respond to Mod related duties. Giving out XP, replying to logs, replying to anything really. I have to give her props for being so quick and on top of things.
Mark(swordofatrophy)- I really appreciate last night, how Mark waited a good twenty-thirty minutes for me to finish what I was doing to start a quest so I can participate. That really goes above and beyond, because he could have just told me to enter in later. But instead he held off the start of the quest so that I could join at the beginning. Along with this, he has let me join his Missions & Quests when my gemstone was higher than he normally allowed, because Ella is my only character in OH. He's put a real effort in to include me in the things he runs, and I really appreciate it. Really makes me feel like part of the team. =)
Tim(scales change)- As the Class Mod, Tim has responded to my emails/changes fairly quickly. Something again, that deserves props. On top of this, he's helped me with a lot of my Combat & Spell questions. I'm still learning but he's been trying to help me with the knowledge I need to actually write up my spells. Handing me the proper links and explaining different things so I can understand them better. I really appreciate the help because I have never played D&D or been in a guild that is run the way OH is. So to have someone in my corner answering questions even during a quest is extremely helpful.
The General Populous- I know this is not required. But I thought I'd mention it anyway. There were many members who went out of their way to IM or Email me when I first joined to welcome me to the guild. Names off the top of my head GeorgPryme, Mighty Gar thog, howlingember, rageofnocturne tales0fbeauty, and I'm sure there are a couple more I'm missing. But, having people welcome me out of no where was rather refreshing and new. I was grateful people showed that they noticed my arrival! Along with this, anytime I've had a question and no mod was around? I feel comfortable really messaging any of the members online, they all have been very helpful and I really appreciate that. Along with that, most of the players really do reach out to encourage RP. That by itsself is pretty awesome. Also just last night I had a quick DM question and Becca(aruniceuphony) was right on top of answering it for me so I could continue my mission without too much delay. It's things like that, the quick responses, the helpful nature of everyone here that really, really make this guild one of a kind.
1 Rage mun. He is very creative and usually good with his characters gold (thrifty?). He listens to advice, looks around for the better price on crafting quite often and comes up with unusual magical items, races etc.
2 Andy. Andy is often very helpful and usually friendly when we talk OOC. He is a boon to the OH moderators due to his nature usually being so helpful (yes, once in a while he is grumpy, but no one is perfect after all).
3 You, Pam. The detailed information on the lands are elaborate and very creative. It was after reading some of the lands details that made me decide to join, so long ago. Any one can just copy from others. But creativity is a skill that is truly rare in the world, and you have that. Personally, I value creativity quite highly, so from me, that is a huge compliment.
Tesarik One
I really enjoy the warmth of her heart and how she is willing to give people a million chances whether they are a friend for years, someone she just met, or someone that annoys her. Even when I am a brat and annoy her, she never goes so far as to make me believe I am unwelcome in her heart. She is a good person.
Sword of Atrophy
It is nice to see that Mark puts in every effort he can to consistently bring fun and excitement to the rest of the players. His quests are fun and engaging and he is just all around nice to work with and talk to, he never seems to be in a down mood.
Tesarik Five
Omg. Warren is the best fairy ever. Such a great character and a talented player. He always makes me smile.
PsionicWanderer
Andy is often one of the most helpful people around when it comes to needing someone to bounce ideas off of. He is amazingly smart when it comes to ideas and sharing them. He also always seems ready to listen to my negativity and let me vent to get it out of my system, it can't be easy but he does it often.
Tales0fBeauty
She always seems happy and friendly, even when going through hard times herself. She is one of the few people that always makes the effort to say hi to me, see how I am doing, and just be friendly to those around her.
Aphotic Frenzy
She is the life of the part most days, always trying to include everyone that is on in her RP and getting things going. She is like a good cup of coffee in the morning, quick to pick you up and get you going!
Gemmed Wings
She's honest. Almost too honest. Whenever I get too big for my britches she is quick to ground me and keep me level and always give me a warm hug after.
rhyldrin-mun: he's put up with a lot of my crap over the years, and seems to know when its time to reassure me or to verbally smack me down. sure it hurts, but its necessary and gets my head back on straight. i think he's got a real insight into how people tick, and if it wasn't for him i wouldn't have come out of rp retirement in the first place. i appreciate his continued patience, and i love bouncing ideas around with him and coming up with char concepts, he inspires me. blame him for me cluttering up your roster :p
georg-mun: i enjoy chatting with him: he is friendly, easy to approach and is non threatening in my i.m's. sounds weird, but that's my take on it because he doesn't set off my anxiety, not even in the beginning. he's never made me feel like it's a chore for him to talk shop with me, bitch about our pet peeves or fangirl/boy over what anime we're consuming at the moment. he's given me some good watching recommendations so far which has helped me stop bouncing off the walls now that i've caught up on supernatural, and its actually been helping my writing. when i'm not watching, anyway!
warren-mun: he is one of the friendliest muns i've ever had the pleasure of speaking with. i've really enjoyed playing ferret with him and his posts as warren have always been very easy to respond to, and the mun himself seems like a more laid back version of warren. i was skeptical about making ferret to begin with and didn't want to fall into the trap of a constantly childlike hyperactive squirrel on speed, but i'll be damned if it didn't work out well anyway. his posts are inclusive, and i am always amazed at how well he can separate himself from his char and not let his personal opinions of any mun colour how warren may respond to a given character.
obsidian heart staff: you'll probably be getting this a lot this week, but everything that you all all do, even bits that i may not agree with from time to time, has been brilliant. thank you for not ditching this game.
Pam - You've gone out of your way to give a place for me to feel welcome, and also be creative. I just about gave up on on-line rp before I sent you the e-mail on Dae to Emma about looking for a group to join. You've paved the way for me to be a part of something fun and awesome here. I can't thank you enough for all you do, and not just for me. You actually care about us all, and it shows. It means more than I'll ever be able to express.
Andy - You're a pretty freaking awesome dude. Definitely glad that I've gotten to know you over the years, because you really are a true friend. You've gone out of your way to make me feel welcome here. You're one of the reasons I come back to the game every time I come back from my loas. You're funny, you're genuine and you have no problem speaking your mind when it needs to be spoken, and I can't say enough how much I respect you because of it. Very glad I can call you my friend.
Tim - You heard I was from UV, and since the day you found out, you've been a pretty awesome guy towards me. We both know all the strife that was going on when I started here, so it's pointless to bring it up, but you didn't add to it. You did your best to make me feel welcome here, and it showed. You're always quick with a kind word to me, and you have some pretty fun ideas when I'm stuck on things I'm working on with my character progression, and it is all greatly appreciated. We definitely gotta try and get the weekly contests going again, cause I always felt terrible about never being able to make them when you were hosting them.
Becca - We didn't really know each other that well when I started, and it took some time, but you were open to getting to know me, and it wasn't easy due to the time differences. I think you're a fun, fair player with very awesome char ideas for those of yours I know, and a great addition to the player base here. I remember the first time you invited me to attend a mission you ran, and at the time, that stood out to me. I was struggling to do my best to fit in with more than just a few, and it meant a lot to me. More than I'll probably ever be able to express. You've been nothing but open and receptive towards me, and I look forward to getting to know you better.
Badger - What can I say? You're just freaking awesome! I love chatting with you about all the silly, dorky things we chat about. You're a breath of fresh air, in how genuinely energetic and happy you are whenever we chat. Always look forward to seeing you on, and getting to say: "Badger! Badger! Badger!"
Mark - I just want to say thank you. When I started in the group, the bulk of the missions/adventures were done by Pam, and it was easy to see that she was getting drained being the only outlet aside from Becca where every player felt welcome at whatever mission/quest was taking place. Your stories are extremely well thought out, and of equal importance they are a fun outlet to attend in helping broaden the way I structure my chars through their level/rank progression.
To the rest I haven't mentioned: I'm happy and fortunate to know you all. Each of you show me things I need to work on in not only myself, but also my characters. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you better, and to be able to provide the same experience I try and get while I'm here.
1) I really appreciate how SwordofAtropy always plays such open scenes with all his characters. I next to never feel left out with him in the rooms. And he also always bring such a lighter side to the play.
2) I enjoy rping with Aphotic Frenzy as she really just makes me challenge myself to evolve my characters and bring out sides of them not usually seen with the way she interacts with them all.
3) I really appreciate how helpful Dan is. He is usually always there to help me out with some things i have questions on and is really helping in slowly helping me realize a dream to build a ranger group in OH. Its fun rping with him and even just chatting he is a really cool guy,
4) I really enjoy how Pam really keeps the play interesting. With the variety of adventures, quests and missions. The fact that you keep us on our toes and keep things from getting stagnant is so much fun and to take things over the top you are so nice and kind and welcoming along with helpful with all the questions i have even though i know i can get annoying at times.
I'd like to thank my two recruiters for helping me get by and navigate through the forums as well as being nice and taking their time with me. And I'd like to thank you (Pam) for getting back very quickly on my introduction into the game.
