Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing Day Everyone!

This is now officially a yearly tradition! This Boxing Day, I wanted to send some general good thoughts and vibes out to the community, going over the year and my personal well wishes before the "State of Massive" that will likely drop in the early new year.

I started my good wishes last year by shouting out @Sir_Daragon for always backing the community, and I should really add @BlueChaos to that for how much he has stepped up in the last year. Both of them have been the best at communicating with the factions player base and I am so very appreciative of that. I'll also thank @Violette for always making criticisms known in an efficient and solution-oriented manner. Last year I thanked Arhbi for maintaining a consistent character and being just a generally good person, and his role play so far as Chancellor is reminding us how well he can tell a story. @BillyTheScroofy gave a part of his soul this year writing Military Progressions that blew the community away with their precise details and epic storytelling. @MintyJade has grown a considerable amount this year and is actually someone I am starting to look for cues on how to treat people with kindness. I'll also thank @CS_Birb for 1.13 work; at the moment he carrying on work with Inventory Migration. He got all 25k inventories successfully migrated in a full-scale test yesterday! Meaning the horror that was Trunk Storage won't be necessary for the 1.13 migration. Just an extended restart period. @Birdsfoot_Violet is a newcomer to the Lore Team and to Massive, but they've already proven herself to be one of the most efficient, reasonable, and well-intentioned people on the Team, so hats off. @Carlit0o is the person I look to when I need to steady myself, and he has bravely and kindly called me out on my bullshit this year when I needed him the most. @ZACGAMR7 provided a very positive and exciting time for Asteria and while it has waned recently, the wars over it were very exciting and something we hope can be replicated. @Oblivaify was the only person I PVP'd with this year and it was a total blast. It made me seriously reconsider getting into Survival, in a good way. @Zacatero returned to the Team this year along with @derpadillo and judging by the newfound energy in the Quest Department, I think it has been a successful return. It goes to show everyone can improve and put some real value into this community. @ZiHAMMER gets a shoutout too, purely because I forgot him last year. No other reason to be had. @CrimsletMonarch is the first Aristocrat to get Nobility, and their rp has come leaps and bounds since I first met them on the server. @ChapterDeath made important strides in the military system and his planning for the war made for exciting reads every progression post.

I'm going into my very last semester as a University student, and am infinitely thankful to the community for being there as I struggled with the stress and tribulations that was this last year. Last year I talked to a good friend who made me realize how important Massive was to a lot of us, and I have caught up with even more throughout 2019. Comment with those folks in the community you want to thank, or make god-awful memes about this post. As you do.

Cheers to the New Decade.

@violattes @Violettee poor jared still doesnt know how to tag people
One Day, he will learn from the best taggers!

I'll also thank @Violette for always making criticisms known in an efficient and solution-oriented manner.

One day I will merely be Violette and not "Violette plus e" as Marty puts it.

Thank you for the acknowledgement! Looking forward to future developments even if I'm becoming inactive, I'm too nosey to not tag along :D
 
!! @LumosJared Thank you for being such a good influence on me, especially when I was a much newer player to Massive. You've been very patient and kind, and I couldn't thank you enough! :>
 
Thanks for the kind words! It's nice to know I've been improving and I hope only to grow more in skill. Nevertheless, I still have a lot to learn with the new role I've gained.

I have to thank you for actually giving me a taste of the nobility scene when I first got here and also helping me out with critique. I'm not going to lie. I was absolutely starstruck having been given the chance to have my character perform before everyone in that Imperial Ball. It gave me a good boost of confidence to continue creating that's for sure.

As for more people I'm grateful for, @JellyTwinOne , @MrHasagi , @Atraxia , @VelmaV , @skullpanda90 , and many others from the Nestled Nook Inn for supporting me, making me feel welcomed, and also giving me a place to exercise my creativity with the songs I wrote and still write. Because of all of you, I was able to gain my bearings and feel involved in the world. All those days in the Nook are ones I don't regret, not in the least. Every single one of your characters gave it a life to me and a set of dynamics perfect for experimenting and learning. It had both its serious moments and its funnier and goofier ones, but I loved every bit of it. It has been a while since those days, but I won't forget where it all started.

@OkaDoka , @Eronoc , @canaaa , @Ferghoul , @Nesstro , @Chapstxcks , and many more for the friendship you've all given me, as well as the advice on aristocracy and nobility. Thank you for making it easier for me to transition from commoner RP to more court and noble-oriented RP and also, calm my anxieties when it comes to all of the new developments and becoming accustomed to it all. I'm also grateful for the funny and interesting connections we've made. I always enjoy the interactions, whether absolutely daunting, wholesome, or hilarious, it made me feel as if I belonged where I was. I used to feel on edge or afraid of making missteps, but realized they're normal and that they'll come to pass. I've felt the stresses, but I've found it all the more rewarding with kind words and a simple reminder to have fun and enjoy the ride.

@Doeelk ,@SleepyIsVerySlep , @onlyathot , @Crineas , and other House Fristadvlom family members, thank you all for your support and the involvement you all have put into the family. I'm not the best and I still have a path to go to grow and be a great leader. Yet, none of what has been accomplished wouldn't have been possible without the support you've all given and the efforts you've put. I wish I could bring absolute justice to having your faith on me, still I will try my best. Each one of you bring a uniqueness and a vividness in the family I created and it makes me happier than ever that you all even considered my house. With all our determination and hard work, I'm sure we can all develop and grow our family.

To everyone I've RPed with and those who I hope to someday, thank you for weaving and creating stories together. Let us continue onward to make more!
 
As for more people I'm grateful for, @JellyTwinOne ,

I have been summoned owo

Alright well since I'm here i'll post some thoughts as well. I am a woman of few words so i'll try my best ^-^

@CrimsletMonarch
We first met at the Nook as trial employees, and you may not have known it but I was just coming back to massive after having left a few years prior around the Freya Lo period. That was the moment our characters became best friends and it was how I got to know you better as a person. I am ever so grateful for that moment because then I would not have gotten to know you otherwise. You are kind, and empathetic, and a wonderful person and your roleplay truly has evolved and I am so proud to be your friend. I'm excited for what your future holds and I'll always be there, even if I'm quiet. As both Ailleann and as a friend.

@MrHasagi
Okay, Mr. Has A Key. Like Crims, we met at the Nook, although we became closer when we found out we had a few things in common. Your constant memes and humor makes me enjoy reading the Nook chat. You've given me awesome roleplay and we have countless inside jokes that sneak up on me when I least expect it. Here's to getting through Level 16 of Life!

@Atraxia
Eheheheh, I tagged you 'v'
But really, in all seriousness, your humor knows no bounds and I really enjoy every OOC and IC coversation I have with you and your character. You have given me awesome roleplay and really help me keep coming back to Massive. Your roleplaying is amazing and although your emotes are like whole novels sometimes, I enjoy reading them nonetheless. I also really respect you for getting your homework done before getting on massive, unlike me >_>. I an truly a horrible student. I'm not gonna let this get too cheesy so I'll end it here. Enjoy the rest of your break!

To all the people in the Nook!
@HuskyLeader you are INCREDIBLY kind and sweet and I hope that never changes. @Clewii Sup Nook Thot. I appreciate you. @MrSpideyPool @YunYun @Sujitation Ya'll are memes and I appreciate you too. @skullpanda90 and @PapidaCarrot thank you two for generally just being nice and understanding people when it comes to rp at the nook.

If I forgot anyone, let me know!
 
To everyone here on Massive who has helped me out and provided me amazing roleplay, and meeting all you awesome people, thank you. I really enjoy being in this community with you all.

@Atraxia
Yes I am pinging you haha, but I just wanted to say you are an absolutely amazing person and I'm glad I met you! Thank you for giving me such epic roleplay. You were among the first few people I met when I first joined, and I am greatful for that. The conversations we have IC and OOC are very enjoyable. I can't stress it enough and I believe I have written too much so I'll cut it here. Have a good one!

@JellyTwinOne @CrimsletMonarch
Yes. You two. Epic Filipino gang. I am very glad that we met and I hope we can have more IC and OOC moments. I find them very great and enjoy them alot. I thank you for meeting and getting to know me, and seeing our similarities. To Jelly, we will indeed fight through Level 16 together despite it being stressful asf, and I enjoy talking with you. To Crimslet, thank you for meeting me and being an epic Filipino, and I suppose getting me into Fire Emblem, hehe. I hope we all can have more interactions in the future as well, many thanks!

I am pretty sure I missed some people. Alot of them. I wrote this when I barely woke up, so my apologies! If I /did/ miss you, I just wanted to say thanks and continue to be the amazing person that you are. I give thanks to all that have enjoyed my memes as well. I really like making 'em.

Have a massive day, cya!
