Big thanks to Aspect of Sorrow, Endelyon, Zanniej, and our unnamed supporter for all their help counteracting the DDOS attacks over the past few months.

Thanks also to the community as a whole for always showing solidarity in the face of outside attacks on our virtual home.

Thanks to the entire dev team for all their work on the updates over the last couple of months, many of which are listed here. You guys are basically wielding magic in my eyes.

Thanks to the player base for supporting me in wanting to play a PC again. I'm not sure it's going to happen, but it really is nice to know that nobody will hold it against me if I do roll one up someday.

Thanks also to the DM team. They've been doing amazing work keeping on top of most of the player requests, and do a lot of the legwork for Endelyon and myself when we approve things from the admin side. The new campaign coordinators are putting together a really promising looking campaign for 2017, too; and DM Boo's efforts spearheading the server timeline update are great.

We have a very good team right now it seems like. We're pretty lucky to have so many people, players and staff alike, willing to go out of their way to help make this game fun for everyone who plays here.

That moment when your toon clearly has a higher intelligence score than you do...

There I was, completing level up on my toon, when an additional language option comes up. I stop and think, maybe it's because I chose another class, so I completed the choice menu...and stared at my toon sheet which had an additional +2 on the Int score, giving him a sixteen at level up. This is when I remembered that the full plate the toon had just looted minutes before encumbered him, whereby equipping a set of boots w/a +1 Str, 2 +Int on my toon seemed like a good plan at the time.

Thanks to DM Imposter for helping me repair the idiot/newb mistake. I'll remember to take those boots off at level up, next time.

A huuuge shout out to Laughing Octopus and BWS for today. Despite an unfortunate interference in today's event, these two were the most mature, enjoyable duo I had the pleasure to create a story with. I don't think, at any point, either sides were there to 'win' and there was just a really positive OOC atmosphere despite the CvC setting. Thank you, both, for being so open and accommodating. It was a pleasure.

Massive thanks to DM Hera, who had me smiling the entire event and was just a pleasure to plan, plot and deal with! DM Soulcatcher for cleanup on aisle 12, as well! Giving us a hearty PnP fight, whilst being so lovely and patient even though I had no idea what I was doing beyond fighting dirty. It was just a really enjoyable time, and I know it took up a lot of yours well into the early hours of the morning, so thank you to all involved.

It's not every day you get to amass a Highwayman gang and force a bomb down another PC's throat. ♥

I want to give a shout out to the scripters, coders and programmers, for surprising us with all the fixes that sneak into module. Bug squashing is a fulltime job, but so satisfying when bug free.

Now that I've had some sleep after that late running event, I'd like to second Hidennka's post. A huge thanks to Hera and Soulcatcher!

Hera never ceases to surprise me, catching me unawares at nearly every turn. And for starting everyone else calling Kyot meat too. Kinda surprised how how easily that caught on during the early Ghost Song events. I've been playing nwn1 or 2 for a long time now, and I've never seen a DM weave such intricate, interwoven plots like Hera does.

I'd never RPed with Soulcatcher before last night, but I wanna do it again. Thank you so much for your patience with us all the way up to 4am (my time anyways). PnP style definitely takes a long time, but I think it was worth it, and you kept us on track so easily and, late night taken into account for us all, knew what to do where and when. I'm glad you had fun with us, time sink and all, and I'm doubly glad you said something, haha, I'd thought we were wasting your time for a while there. Here's to hoping circumstances give us more opportunity to RP together, man.

Amusingly, I'd never met Hidennka before last night either. I'd like to thank you for what was easily the most enjoyable, and friendly, CvC I've had in 7-ish years of nwn. I know Mara, the sneaky minx, isn't your main. We'll have to see what happens if Kyot and Cecilia ever meet. I'm looking forward to the aftermath and clean-up of this. Probably be explosive....again.....

Shout out to the party I hit the gnoll encampment with this morning. I've been moaning a little bit about how hard it is to RP in dungeons and big groups and was happy to be proved wrong on both counts :D . We were a full party of 6 and had some quality moments, ending with one of our group getting hit with confusion and attacking us. Good times RPing trying to restrain him (sorry about the arrow wound). Also might have had some magical assistance from a certain halfling :) .
