Some much needed Commendations
Posted: Tue Aug 06, 2019 7:50 am
Okay, some much needed shoutouts are required.
I love you all a lot. I'm sure you know that. So if you're not mentioned here, let it be known that if you've interacted with me, in any regard, for any amount of time In Character, I appreciate it immensely, and it was a glorious addition to my day. What I cherish most about this game is the depth of roleplay that's on offer. Whether we're slaying infested, investigating spooky nethrim-related mysteries, drinking at the bar, arguing with each other, falling in love, making tough decisions-- It's all just.. So wonderful. So all-encumpassing. And I love the world, and the community that exists here. It's unlike any other game i've ever played. Clok feels like a living, breathing place. Friendships are born, friendships crumble, battles are won, battles are lost. And all the while, life goes on all around our characters so tangibly that, on occasion, you almost feel like you can't keep track of it all. And that's all thanks to the wonderful people that dip their feet into the waters of the Lost Lands, and log in to see what's going on.
I'm going to try to mention everyone I can here, but I'm sorry if you don't make it onto the list.
Zahrah: Wow. From the moment Zeldryn and Zahrah began interacting with one another, I knew that some serious stuff was going to be going down in the near-future. You've made me stretch the limits of my creativity in a way that defies comprehension, and I can't thank you enough for that. I've had to think long and hard about who Zeldryn is, how he reacts to certain stimuli, and how he perceives the people around him in a much more active, realistic manner. And that's in no small part to the interactions our characters have had. I thoroughly enjoyed every conversation, every hunting excursion, every tense moment, quiet admission, and all in between. You play your character -so- well, and you deserve all of the credit in the freaking world for putting forth the quality of detail that you do. Zahrah is.. Zahrah. She is a character that lives and breathes, and it's hard to describe her in any true detail, myself, because I feel like I just can't put that character's.. Character into words the way you do. It's ridiculous. My only regret is that my character is, for all intents and purposes, probably not going to be interacting with your character that regularly moving into the future. (Sad times). It has been super, super fun, and I eagerly look forward to any interactions any of our characters have in the future, whether it's Zeldryn, Zahrah, or whoever. Keep being awesome! Keep being creative! And most of all, keep being absolutely savage.
Chione: This one, though likely incredibly obvious, is also extremely necesary. Your characters are ridiculously unique. Your conversations portray the personality lying within them within an extreme amount of vividness. You put so much effort into getting inside your characters' respective minds, and it shows very prominantly through the way that you interact with Zeldryn, let alone everybody else. Obviously, two of our characters in particular have spent a ridiculous amount of time together over the last year, and that time shows through all of the half-experiences and brief snippets of stories they're constantly shooting off at each other without having to mention the rest of the details. (The biscuits come to mind.) That being said, though, as of late, you've gone above and beyond any sort of RP that we've ever had in the past, and that says a ton to me, personally. I can't speak for anyone else's interactions with your characters, but the way the RP flowed over the last few days alone is proof enough of how tirelessly you stick to your character's ideals. Keep being awesome, and for the love of god, never stop using so many puns.
Talyn: Oh, buddy. You've been there for Zeldryn so often in the last couple of months that I can't begin to count the incidents in which you had to talk him down-- and vice versa. Zel and Talyn were always decent friends, but as of late, they've gotten a lot closer as a result of everything going on in Shadgard, and it's been the funnest chemistry to build up. The way they joke, the way they talk [crap], and the way they wax poetic about life in the midst of bloody carnage is quite literally the essence of what I think makes Clok so damn wonderful. People like you make me feel at home here. From all of our first interactions back in the Hanged Man as the Dusklamp situation was churning up, to everything regarding our characters' latest duels with destiny and romance, in particular-- I just wanted you to know that I absolutely appreciate every interaction we've had. I know you worry about the quality of your RP sometimes, and you really shouldn't. You're phenomenal, and I'm posetive that i'm not the only one who thinks so. I have the highest hopes that our characters-- even if it's not Zel and Talyn-- will never have a problem interacting with one another. Whether it's friendly or unfriendly. you're one of the people around here I can constantly rely on for a genuinely fun experience, no matter what we're doing. I love your character archetypes, and I really, really love the way you turn things on their head when I'm not expecting it. You always have an interesting way to look at a situation from the outside in. Keep being awesome!
Dorn: Dorn, Dorn, Dorn. Need I even mention It? Need I even say it? You're -fantastic-. Your character's presence isn't just known in the lands, it's felt. You do the character you play an extreme amount of justice in his cruelty and his process. He's interesting. He's mysterious. And somehow, in spite of all of the carnage and craziness he can be responsible for, you always leave me wanting to be his friend in the end. That's extremely difficult to do from not only a roleplaying and gameplay perspective, but from a writing perspective as a whole. You show an immense amount of patience in your implementation of ideas, and a staggering amount of skill in crafting dialogue. There have been times where Zel has hated Dorn, and there have been times where Zel has liked Dorn. More importantly, there have been a great many times where Zeldryn (the character, not me) was filled with such an immense amount of righteous indignation toward Dorn that he couldn't properly form words. When Zeldryn hit a long, seemingly permanant patch of stability in his arc, it was your character that pushed him out of his comfort zone, and really made him think about who he was, who he wanted to be, and how he wanted to be perceived. It took a character that I was quite literally about to put on the shelf, completely revitalized him, and made me fall in love with him all over again. And I can't thank you enough for that. IC aside? You're one of the easiest people to talk to. I always appreciate shooting the [crap] on chat, and even more appreciate the stream of reccomendations you shoot me for my sick, sick tastes in media. (E.G: Black Lagoon.) Keep being awesome! Keep being Dorn! And keep on keeping on.
Kiyaani: A lot of what has been said above applies to you, as well. From what interactions I've had with your characters, the vast majority have been memorable ones. You know, like that time we aggressively chased down people who made us angry in Dusklamp. Or that time we angrilly chased down that guy who made us angry In Haiban. Or that time we angrily.. I sense a trend here. Okay, okay. So we haven't -only- aggressively chased people down, obviously. But whether with Samani or Saeda, my interactions with your characters are always thoroughly pleasant ones. Both are exceedingly interesting characters in their own respective rights, with distinctive and curious burdens to bare on their shoulders. Your perceptions and expressions of the way that those two characters in particular deal with those burdens is absolutely impressive to behold. You should be thoroughly proud of yourself, just as anyone else I've mentioned above. It always makes me smile IRL when I notice your characters chasing Zel down, or trying to seek him out for whatever reason. I have a particular soft spot for the banter, more than anything else. But that's only one of a thousand different things I could pull out of my brain. The thing that intrigues me the most is how much I feel I -don't- know about those characters, in spite of how much time i've spent alongside them. And that's the core of what I like about your style-- you nailed the air of mystique that some folks seem to constantly carry around them. Whether intentional or unintentional, you always keep me guessing, and that's more appreciated than I can possibly express. Keep being awesome! Keep lolling at Zeldryn's inability to have a good day!
Copperbear: Muh boi. Muh man. Muh dood. My partner in crime, my white-robed shadow, my mighty dwaedn father-figure. We have had some. -fun-. You were one of the first people I RP'd with around here, and to this day, our interactions continue to be some of the most ridiculous and pointed shenanigans I can shake a fist at. You have made me smile. You have made me frown. You opened my character's eyes to a world he never knew was there, and you, in your own specific ways, have kept him on the straight and narrow in a variety of ways, through a variety of characters. All of them are fantastic, all of them are unique, and all of them fall into a very specific asthetic that I think you've done extremely well portraying. Your characters are easily the most -distinct- of the bunch that I've ran into. I could rant and rave about any of them specifically, but in this case, It almost ruins the fun of being able to take a peek at them yourself. For those who are reading that have no idea which ones i'm referring to, that is. We've grown to be such good friends OOC as well as IC, and I can't express just how great that is. I don't usually get in touch with many people off of a game if I meet them via said medium. I'm glad that I decided to, though. Never change, pal. And I'll always ask you about yaks.
There are so many people I wish I could just ramble on about forever. Alila, Hakkon, Muuno, Rosalin, Quintin, Tangela, Artus, Jessiah-- You all have just brought so much depth, so much enjoyment to my days over the past.. However long I've been playing. I can't begin to describe just how much I feel thankful for the good times I've had with all of you.
I'll stop now. I've rambled enough. But I have distinctly high hopes for more fun, more great RP, and bright horizons. Thank you all so much for taking the time to read, and I hope you have a wonderful day.
