When stuff happens because of players

This is kind of a shotgun shout-out. A shout-out to the people who do stuff on their own initiative, not necessarily because GM events encouraged them to, but because it was what they wanted their character to do.
I know it isn't always obvious, so I wanted to come out and say that one fun (at least, I thought it was fun) event happened today 100% due to what a player had been up to lately, completely on their own. I'm not sure if they realize the connection as it was a rather vague connection, but it's another example of something that never would have happened without a player character taking some kind of initiative and causing something to happen. A few other player choices, though not knowing, caused additional neat stuff to happen that I hope gets shared eventually.
