Thank you

So many people here have gone out of their way, spent their time, or went to considerable effort to make sure that the rest of us are having a good time. I wanted to take a moment to thank them.

Katfood - For running an amazing supergroup that's exceptionally drama-free and doing all she can to make sure that everyone who wants a team has one. If you're in the Tempest-Legion and you can't get on a team, it's because you're not trying. Katfood has quit great teams to start new ones because someone needed a team and has given up her own place on a team for others. Everything is taken care of and she makes it look effortless. Since I know it absolutely isn't, I appreciate what she does all the more. She's a natural leader and takes on a leadership role when she sees a need, even when sometimes I'd sure she was hoping someone else would step up so she could just have a good time and not worry about being the one who has to come up with a plan and explain it to everyone.

Any Supergroup leader who's managed to have a group with more than him/herself for more than a few months - Being a good supergroup leader is like a second job you don't get paid for. It's a big responsibility requiring you to play many roles: friend, manager, parent, teammate. You do it because you want to and you give so much to others. Much respect and appreciation to all the good SG leaders out there.

Darkbridger - The Saturday Matinée has been going strong for years now. When LHF left, Darkbridger took up the challenge and we've had more people than ever show up. He mixes it up with some double-features and new challenges, finds substitutes when he knows he won't be around, and has even gotten everything set up and kicked off when he couldn't stay or given up his space on the team because someone else wanted in. He goes out of his way to make sure anyone who wants to be is included.

Raid Leaders - I don't attend raids so I won't name anyone because I would leave so many out. But even though I don't attend raids, I know how much they have done for the community. I think Justice has one of the strongest communities of any server and it's also had the reputation of being the server that had the most/most successful raids. I don't think it's a coincidence. There are people I've never met in the game but I've heard of because of their raiding activity. So thank you to all of the leaders who work so hard to pull things off so that everyone can feel successful, included, and have a great time. A special shout out to all the female raid leaders who made names for themselves in a world where some people think that everyone they see is actually some loser guy in his mom's basement and that girls don't play games.

Tic-Toc - I know a lot of people who love this game or talk a lot about how much they love the game, but I don't think I know of anyone who loves it as much as Tic-Toc. What he's done for this community is impressive, especially given the fact that he could give us all gold bars and half of us would find some reason that action made him a power-tripping poopiehead. And yet he continues to give to the community and do things that help others out, even after that. Tic doesn't need to talk about how much he loves the game; it shows in everything he does. He and I have often disagreed and we're not best buddies, but I have a tremendous amount of respect for the man. Love him or hate him, he's left an indelible mark on Justice and we've all benefited from it in some way, even if we don't all realize it or can't admit it.

Talia - For keeping up a forum game I've actually enjoyed and for checking in with me every time I logged in after my surgery and all her random hellos.

Red Gren - Last year he put together an amazing dinner for people going to Hero Con. It was so successful that people who'd never played on Justice heard about it and asked to be included. But even more amazing, he's doing it again this year! It's very possible he's crazy. I guess that's why he calls Justice home - and I'm very glad he does.

There are many others who've made me laugh, been on great teams with me, taught me something, or just reminded me why I log in as often as I do and why I'm still playing a game I bought 5 years ago thinking I'd give up after the first 30 days because I thought paying to play a game every month was silly. Some have gone, many are still here and I'm glad. Thank you, all of you.

I hope anyone else who wants to say thank you to someone will feel free to add to this.

I definitely second everything Missi mentioned. I probably would have quit this game had I not been lucky enough to be a part of Kat's SG, Tempest Legion. It is by far the best SG I've ever been part of, even if I have to endure the occasional stabbing. The work she puts into it is noticed and appreciated by everyone in the group.

I'd like to thank Missi for being one of the nicest and most helpful people I have had the pleasure of knowing in the game. I appreciate how she doesn't get involved in the drama that can be a little too rampant at times. When those times hit she is an oasis of rational conversation. I shudder to think where the server community would be without her.

There are so many others I could mention if I had an hour to type while at work.

I'll say thanks to all the folks I usually chat with ingame, they keep things from getting too boring and are often helpful when I need another hand or two.

I've been meaning to post this for awhile...

Thank you to everyone who contacted me via PM, tells or on Facebook over the last couple weeks. Your concern and kind words of support during my current rough patch have been so very touching and have been helping me stay positive when it has been very tough to do so. Its small acts of kindness like these that really exemplify how great the folks on this server are and am so glad that I made Justice my home.



(For those not in the loop, I'd rather not detract this thread from its purpose and will not be going into the details of my recent events here....but do know that I am okay.)

I'll thank the majority of the Justicites for taking in this immigrant from Triumph.

While I'm not in the know, I must say that the Justice server is in a class all by itself. We're one big happy family Transferring from Freedom was one of the best moves I've made in the game. I probably would've quit a long time ago otherwise!

I'll thank everyone here that has made me work so hard to give myself the time to get back in the near future. I actually enjoy talking to most of you more than I enjoy playing the game.

Kat - Best SG Leader Ever. Can't wait to get back into the Hero ways with her.

All the others.. I've missed you all and I think Missi said it best.

Meow!
