Player Appreciation

Gunnar was really fun too.  He was a very consistent character, in my opinion. Always Gunnar through and through.

Moss is crazy and fun. I love every moment around Moss, he's probably the most real to me of all of them, and the one I love the most, though I could never tell you why.  I think about him a lot in real life, there's just so much more to him than meets the eye.

And then there was Rigby, God I miss RPing with him.  He was such a character, so round… everything about him was full of life and he too was ALWAYS Rigby, reliably.

Jackson's a really deep guy, I love what Tylissa finds in him that no one else seems to have in Withmore.  He's played by a super intelligent guy, so that's the reason I guess. Yep, definitely love the detail in RP with Jackson.

Desolate, what an admirable character.  She's so brave and so solid, like someone you could always lean on... or could you?  She's got that air of mystery that makes every chapter with her exciting.

I've had some really great moments with Aikao.  His player is incredibly attentive to detail. Aikao's interesting features are so vividly described, as well as all his actions.

Moss is my absolute favourite SD character and I was privileged to see more than just the nasty side of him that so many others have seen. As Tylissa's player put it so simply and yet so eloquently he has elements of realism in him that make it quite plausible for you to picture him on the mean streets of Philidelpia or London or where ever you might choose to picture him. He exemplified the harsh juxtaposition between being a cold numb citizen of a violence filled world and a humane person that empathised with others in need and pain that I feel a clever and well played cyberpunk character should have. As a player I have often watched Moss being played and thought to myself, "There are so many things here I and really everyone can learn from and take and tailor to their own character." He is the kind of character that I esteem to play.

I would like to thank the group of people I Rolplayed with at the apartement, Lena, Trancer, *gasp* even Lucien. Those rp times were very fun, forever changing and developing, and we did a lot in a week. And I thank Trancer for some sureal yet IC times.

Hmm, maybe I should have done this as I left, thanking all the people that made this game so fun and good for me, rather than focusing on the people that didn't. Lucien, and in a way me.

So, the player of Bias I thank you aswell, along with Victoria's player, and deffinetly Gwen; I really enjoyed the RP we had.

I would like to finally thank Damus, do you still play? *looks ponderously for a moment* He was great fun when I first started out and helped.

Wo, I miss this now remebering just relaxingly roleplaying with Gwen and Victoria in the Drome. Do you, Gwen's player still play? And I hope all is good Victoria.
Lena I hope you're doing well aswell, having not been on sindome for a while now

Right, I tried to not make that too big, I have bassically had a great time with the players I mentioned, for many reasons, and hope all, (especially those that seem to left left) my best wishes.
Live well ^_^

Moss: Blimey. If I ever met anyone remotely possessed of the air of calm assurance and power, I think I'd either become their disciple or crap myself. Moss scares me, he's a bastard, but there's something in him that Jackson and I both kinda respect too. We like him. (And he's British - always a plus ;) )

Tash: OK, OK, she's the SD hottie...but there's a warmth about the character that shines straight through. You can *almost* forget that she's Moss' wife. Somehow, she's avoided becoming harsh and hard, at least publically...and she's a joy to RP with.

Tylissa: The only char. so far that I've genuinely felt sorry for and a well rounded personality that's flawlessly played.

Meg: Ho boy...She's amazing. Even though most don't see it, her insecurities and foibles are icredibly realistic. Further, the fact she seems to be a female version of Jackson and pulls it off better than me makes her amazing to have as an IC other half. I've actually come away from fights between the two feeling physically drained....

There's no doubting that the players mentioned on this thread are all -superb-...My character may not know them, but they have in some way become legends on the street, which speaks highly for their strength of character and caliber of RP - kudos to ya, folks!

In addition, my post here goes out to those that I appreciate just for hanging in there - the newcomers, some trying out this whole text gaming experience for the very first time. Yea, it may be tougher to find your own little niche here than in some other M**s, but it's worth it, and if you can grit your teeth and rise to the challenge, you've got what it takes. Salutations and welcome to all those guests that roam the boards - keep it up!

Before I start, let me say thank you for the compliments. I was sort of suprised to see my character come up on this thread.

Moss - While we're all doing it, let me say that his character is one of the best I've seen. He was truly a little -too- good at what he did. And, like Tash, I got to see the "better" side of Moss. He really did well portraying the certain personal battles that someone who has that persona would go through when it comes down to emotions.

Tash - Her posing is fantastic, and she's one of the best in the game at using the ambient population and objects in room descriptions. We as players tend to forget about those things because they aren't "tangible".

Flame - My god. The first time I RPed with her, I was more intimidated than anything. She actually inspired me to get better with my posing. And she was a really well-developed character. I'm going to miss RPing with that one, but at least Sam's around here somewhere, still with us. You'll know her when you see her.

Rigby - Being the one who probably RPed with Riggers the most, I have to say his character rocked. There were a few small inconsistencies, but he really did do a good job.. Anyone who was around for the time he had an interview with the Katana Killer saw the transition from sweet reporter from a blue-blooded family to the scarred, perverted Rigby we all came to know and love.

Nicadeamus - I've been Rping with Nic for a year and a half or more. Just about every time Des has gotten some ambition, it came from a speech that Nic had made. Her animacy about the corps really kinda roots in him. He's a solid character, and a lot of fun to RP with.

This is gonna be my last one. Not to say that I don't think there are some more really great characters, because there are, but I'm not going to spend all day trying to list all of them and why they rock.

Gally/Kikai - Another one I've been RPing with since the beginning. Let me tell you something, people: if you ever want someone to make you feel like you (your character, sillies, not YOU) should get the hell up and DO something, have a nice long talk with that character. Every analogy, every speech, every interaction with that character (for any length of time anyway) is inspiring to me. Not to mention, it's a very well-played character idea.. I'm not going to say what "it" is. But those who know I think will agree.

Ok. Done. Byebye.

The MHL! (not really)

First off, Aikao. �Ike's attention to detail, as said before, is extremely defined and eye-catching. �His character moves just as he describes him, consistant, and yet with that alternate side of him that makes him deeper than he seems and makes you think.

Gunnar. �What's there to say? �Gunnar Sharp was one of the most influential characters in the history of SD. �His publications and performances made headlines, as did his ... "other" work. �Very well he played his ignorance and hidden knowledge of things that had happened, working situations to his advantage.

Gerik. �I only RP'd with him for a short time, but he, Lena, and Dimitri(sp?) may have been what got me really hooked in the dome. �Some occurances happened my first night in the dome with those characters, and I was more than intrigued. �Gerik's imposing yet almost caring nature was great, as was Lena's innocent street girl attitude. �I didnt get to know Dimitri that well (i'm not sure if that's his name..), but he proved to constantly make things interesting. �Kudos to all.

Bias. �When you have great roleplaying skills like Iz, who needs capital letters? �Everything about her just draws you in - the attention to detail, her entire attitude, and her poses are a real treat to read. �She's very realistic and believeable character, one who constantly makes my RP sessions in the dome worthwhile.

Nicadeamus. �The shogun of fun, Nic is always great to have around. �Energetic without being peppy, fun without being excitable. �He seems to radiate RP wherever he goes, seemingly awaken players into doing something they'd never think of, or just generally making his surroundings alot better than they were without him.

Marcus. �Marcus's character is really quite good and well put together, spending alot of time playing out his emotions and thoughts as fluidly as I've ever seen. �His words seem to hold power, and his desperation is very realistic, much like how I feel most people would be in his situation. �All in all, a very well done character.

And last, but definatly not least, Rigby Barclay. �Rigby was such an egnimatic character, full of life and strong opinions that seemed to stir people's emotions so well. �He reminds me of Nic in a few ways, but was very much his own person. �I only had the chance to RP with him for a very short time, but the time it was done it really made an impression on me.

I am sure, being the super ultra forgetful person that I am, that I have left out some very well deserved applauds and congratulations. �For that I am truly sorry. �The player base here is absolutely wonderful and makes playing Sindome a real joy. �To all of you out there, thank you so much for bringing real charm to this game, and keep up the magnificant work!

First-off, I thank the many mentions of my previous and well-loved char, I do miss her so; and appreciate the many words said upon the experiences they were based upon.  

For first congrats, I'd like to thank Johnny and Firestorm (though they're admin, they're who first inspired me to try SD, rather than overlook it as I more than likely would have.) for their many efforts to keep us all happy.

Though myself personally, I have to thank many more.  I should like to go all the way back to the beginning, but sadly I can't even remember her name, though I know the player.  I would really like to thank Liz for the many hours upon hours of fun we had, which actually developed Flame into being who she was I think.  The many times of holding parties for everyone or just ourselves; getting stoned out of our minds just to see a dog on the cieling talking about the weather.. amazing.

Kro most exceptionally, for the times when we did get the chance to interact, even being the grease monkey he was at the time, it seemed there was never an end to the interest and intent of his character, a different aspect from any other character I knew at the time.

Des - For the most part, Des had to be my most favourable character.  As forementioned in previous posts, she was a very solid character, yet mysterious in the same.  I guess maybe because I shared many of the same attributes, and enjoyed them as well.  Des was always someone of whom you could lean on, always there for you, and always sticking her neck out for those in need.  She was an exceptional character, I just wish I had've had more time to RP with her, as well as everyone else.

Tash and Nic were both amazing, I wish I could go on more about the events that occured in that period of time, but my memory is at a loss.  What I do know, is that they were both at the epitomy of Flames lifetime on SD, and were the cause of quite of great times.

I could go on more and more about several other people, and I feel kinda guilty not defining they're every detail as is true to my nature, but I am at a loss of words for the many the deserve to be noted in this post.
So, hopefully not taking away from the same gratification as I have recieved from many, I hope that everyone else I mention does not feel like they're not held in the same respect, but my thanks continue on to Akaru, many times shared running from Judges and plotting deeds;  Lucien, god what was I thinking (amazing to say the least), and I must really be losing my mind now, because when I started this post I had so many people in mind… and now I can't think of any more.. but I know there is.. I just hope you know who you are.. My many thanks to you all, for making SD so fun, so interesting, intriguing and enjoyable.  Couldn't have done it without ya's and the many admin to boot.

On a special note, I'd especially like to thank Jared (even though I've already made mention of the player), those were some of the best times I had, and still wouldn't have been so fun without everyone else there.  I love you all, I just hope I don't have to leave again.  

          Sincerely, you're biggest fan;

                     ~@Sam MacBride@~     :o)~

While Dom's rant will probably be deleted, I hope this post won't be. Some of Dom's was true, some not... but what I do have to say is this.

Yes, I took interest in another MOO in order to further my coding abilities and help my best friend learn to code. And I in no way was going to go against Sindome. Unfortunately... thanks to a little bad luck and idiocy... Johnny and I don't see eye to eye on the whole ordeal. We ended up talking about it for a good three hours before he went off to bed.

I've been a part of Sindome for I believe almost five years now. Nearly two as an admin, and three as the infamous Lucifer that a few of you still remember. Sindome was my crutch when life took away every other thing I could hold on to.... and slowly, I got back on my feet. It was then that I decided I wanted to give back to the game that gave so much to me. It gave me friends, confidence, and a community I trusted.

Now... while I haven't exactly been on the best of terms with everyone, I have made some amazing friends here... and some enemies. To anyone I've pissed off in any way, I appologize. Whether you accept it, believe it, or not... its there.

Now... to the situation at hand... yea, I messed up. Thats all that really needs to be said. I may not be on the MOO anymore as Wren or Luc... but I'm never going to leave. So long as Jman doesn't delete this account, I hope to post and keep up... if he sees fit to delete this too... well... I guess thats that.

In all, I guess this is what you'd call a goodbye. I doubt I'll be on Sindome anytime in the future... especially in a recognizable name... so to all, goodbye. To all whom I got the pleasure of getting to know, I'll miss ya.

Peace out all... and Viva la Sindome... for now, and forever.

I have NOT. Nor will I -EVER- take, copy, delete, or in any way edit or tamper with code on Sindome in the name of another MOO. Period. End. Of. Story.

To anyone who wants to think that, all I can say is you can go shove it up your ass.

Thanks to all the players who've been on during what has been a fairly slow time for staff and playerbase. You've shown that pioneering spirit that I had when I started here, way back in the day.

Back then you would spend -hours-, sometimes -DAYS- without any major interaction with a very small active player base. In a lot of ways, things are a bit slow like that time, but on an up note, there are a lot more people, they just aren't logging on all at once.

But thank you to all the players who show up, play, and the like. It is why we staff are here in the first place.
