In life and in game, I've had the honour of meeting many nice, faceless people who toil, mostly in the background, to make the world a better place - because of what they love and believe in, not to satisfy an ego. The beauty of it is, some of them do so without even knowing it ;-) These are the people I admire and draw the greatest inspiration from. So I’d like to take a moment to express my deepest thanks for some of the lower profile ones I’ve met in-game. And I sincerely hope more people have the great opportunity of knowing them.
The boys at
Multi Death Corporation, esp –
Stanonater (igotbigbowls) &
Vulgardisplay (ipoopwizards). For always being happy and excited, generous to a fault, and constantly making me rofl. They show me how easy things really are. Stan has a big heart. A great confidante and leader who’s always there to help. Thanks for reminding me that I shouldn’t care too much abt what others say/think, and focus on what's gd n real.
Clockblocked, Streetlite &
Starlitefury from
Guild Name for showing me what loyalty and friendship is. Chilled out pros. Their solid team spirit’s a rare and beautiful thing, and I’m honoured to have run with them as Alphagun right before life got busy. Of loyalty, they say,
“We don’t run with just anyone who’ll play with anybody to win.” - That’s stuck strong with me ever since.
Meecah &
DrGrimmy, for always being so relaxed and fun/easy to be around! They’ve been around for a while, esp Grimmy, but it hasn't changed them a bit!! I can always count on them to be open and generous with their time and their thanks!
ismoked, and
Summerland, for being honest and real friends. Reminds me of the kind of friendships we only form in childhood, when we were guileless and anything was possible!
Yohoho for the constant encouragement, and lifting me higher. Tells it like it is, firm but always kind. Zero drama. A pro without an out-of-control ego, deeply thoughtful. The only player to ever take me aside and say, “True, don’t ever hesitate to say ‘no’ to anybody if that’s not what you want.”
Harleighh , for being a sassy, bright young lady with so much hope and fire. Will never forget how we met months ago in pvp, at the height of my addiction. She never stopped seeing the good in me. I practically gave up pvp after that - the change in perspective pretty much killed whatever appeal it used to hold. She reminded me that I want to protect people, work with 'em, not farm/beat the crap out of them. I rly rly hope things work out for her at med school, she deserves happiness.
Aereostar, for coming back just to say hi once in a while and remind me that my real work in is the real world.
And
Anfere, a guileless 10-year old player with a super-logical mind and a heart of gold. I sense a kind of genius.
They both belong to certain groups of people I’m being trained to work with at the moment, and remind me of what I want to protect.
To the
friends who've kept in touch along the way, and countless nice
strangers who PM me everyday to tell me that my writings have reached them. Thank you for showing me it’s all worth it.
And, of course,
Kalizzaa,
Limsy, for all the reasons already covered in the rest of this thread. ;-)
Other credits –
Classics, for letting me be a part of you, help grow the guild and grow with you, and entrusting me with responsibility. It's been fun, lah!!
Deviant Misfits – for having my oddball mage since Feb. I guess that means I’m truly a deviant misfit in the real sense of the term, hahaha!!
Darkling for merching for the sheer passion not the gold. It's a refreshing attitude
Vietwar for the fun times, hilarious wisecracks, and being generous with good advice! wink wink.
Ctf &
Bless for the inspiring friendship they share with one another.
Joyyitta for opening up to me, and giving me a tour of that special place in Nordr.
Mysticaleagle for the interesting and challenging friendship, u were nice to me, it was something to remember. S'il faut mourir autant vivre ŕ en crever.
Defamed - for helping put one of my principals to the test - to always speak of the good in others in your life, past and present. And to choose to say nothing at all about anyone to others, unless it's something positive. Those who hold the most challenging life lessons are often our best teachers, but we forget to thank them so - Thank you, I am grateful, perhaps one day you will come to accept the reason I gave when I decided to let go. As always, I wish you well for the future.
And thank you to everyone else I might have left out - u must pardon my human forgetfulness. I love y’all. ☺
- True
