It's no secret that I love this game, but you have no idea how much Lena had to enable me to join through linking her favorite threads time and time again and saying how wonderful you guys were. She was right of course, but my first game had left a bad impression on me even though I only hung around for a little less then 2 months. They were unfriendly and quite frankly the format didn't foster CR between unknown characters. I also felt like I had to choose to either give up all my hobbies or drop the game because it took me forever to write tags and then people would come in and 'close threads' because they were taking to long.
Thank you Marina for being welcoming, for plotting both in game and out of game, for allowing me to back-tag old threads forever, and for just generally showing me how much fun playing a game can be! Now I want to give up all my hobbies to roleplay, but I love the fact that I don't have to. And that means the world to me.
