Originally I had written a generic 'thanks everyone' but events this morning make me more appreciative of Good People (tm) so here goes.
I'm a day away from my 2 year badge (been playing longer, but there were some breaks). You guys have always been the best.
Above all, to Tungsten Wolf, Abyss and Doctor Chronos. In the Dark Days of the summer I thought about quitting. I stayed for you guys and got passionate about the game again. You three are the best--even though you never use the forums and will never see this. I miss the mad teaming but I love you guys more than I can say!
To Patriot Man for *always* being the first to say 'Hey Shay!' as soon as I log in, and always making me feel loved. I don't know how you do it so quick (precognition temp power?), but God love ya.
To Cobalt Azurean for a) running BMT wonderfully despite the flack he gets b) supporting server events in ways most people don't even know about, and c) for having pre-Ship Raid snowball fights with me. And for keeping the 'blue' in 'blue side'. If this was mysticism, you'd be one of the Sufi Qutub (cause I like being esoteric and making you say 'wha'?)
To Celestial Lord for being the kind of great guy he is and frequently lending a hand! And for loving the same things I love...'We Will Win' CL, in '10.
To Cherry who I absolutely adore and don't get to team with enough. I haven't had a really serious mt on BMT since my horribly embarrassing last one. Keep the crown; the Queen is dead, long live the Queen!
To Gideon F for trying to take the heat off me for my last mt. You're a gentleman but don't worry, I won't tell anyone!
To Felicia for being bigger than the rest of us recently and taking responsibility. Awesome!
To Undead Cyborg for all the fun and PvP advice and always being willing to lend a hand with everything!
To Sepultura for having great taste in tunes and being as filthy-minded as me. Love ya.
To 4shes for the cool vids.
To Gulver for constantly making MoKTF runs with me. Sooner or later we'll get a good team and pull it off....preferably one that doesn't involve suicidal squishies rushing Reichsman.
To Sinny and Braije for coming back

Good to see you both around again. Sinny, you're my girl. Love ya. B--get back in and don't get banned. We need to run about some more.
To Masked Secretary for being one of my favorite teammates in the whole game!
To Silas for making me laugh with every guide he posts.
To Angie, Nibs, Dazz, Steel Brigade, Leader of, and the rest of UHB--I love you guys. Yeah, yous! You guys do a lot of work; I'll pitch in more as soon as this thesis is done! Please keep the radio show going...I look forward to it, even when I'm working and can't play
To all of the SGs I play with--especially DG (it LIVES!), UHB and HoJ.
And especially to my better half who got me into this game and better get back to it soon!
I'm sure I've forgotten someone...watch for edits.
Lastly, to the confusing Devs who keep me guessing...apparently, my 'Le French Tickleur' toon was offensive but the short-lived 'Johnny Hamas' (dont remember exactly what the name was) who briefly ran through Paragon once the 'self destruction' temp came out wasn't. Tasteless? Yup. It's my way. :-)
And to Mod08 for seeing the light and coming to Champion. Good man!
