Drop

[celebrityskinned]

This may come as a bit of a surprise as I was just tagging this morning, but I've decided to drop the Games.

I've had a lot of feelings about this game. I've cried over things I took personally. I've asked myself why I bother to mod. I've cussed Te out in private plurks over perceived slights because I'm sometimes a ball of rage.

But I've also had some of the most amazing threads and CR in my many years of roleplay. I've laughed and I've been moved to good tears by some of the amazing writing here; I've made friends who are, I hope, going to last my whole life; I've gotten through some of my roughest patches knowing that when I got home, there would be an inbox of delights awaiting me.

You guys have been wonderful to me, and I'm honestly sad to know that in this game, at least, I won't be going further with the CR I've made. I just know that when a game starts to wear at me, mentally, it's time to let go no matter how good the good times have been.

I'm happy to finish up any ongoing threads, no matter how long it takes them to wrap. I'm also not officially dropping Eva and Penny until their storylines conclude, although I'll only be finishing the plot-relevant stuff with them. I will be staying on as a mod only as long as necessary to finish those plots. And, of course, I am happy to meme and PSL until the cows come home. A game environment is just no longer the best place for me.

It has been an honor to know, play with you, and mod for you.

Venus and Punchy will die at the next Cornucopia. Howard will become an NPC wandering around the Capitol. I have plans for Victory.

I had such a blast playing off your characters and seeing where the CR took me - really enjoyed sharing another game with you and going fuck yeah at the plots. Thanks for all the hard work, both as a player and a mod.

You have been so wonderful, and I've loved our CR. I will particularly miss Punchy like crazy. Thank you for everything.

[celebrityskinned]

Thank you, and I'm so glad I could be a good part of the game for you. And I know you do memes. :3

[celebrityskinned]

Thank you, Cam. Now we can go fuck yeah to each other in PSLs. :)

Hey, thanks for being fantastic - I'm so happy to have gotten to know you through this game, both as a player and as a person, and I hope like crazy we'll get to play off each other again. <3 C:

Aw, I'm sad to see you go! I've enjoyed what threads we've had and I'll miss seeing all of your characters around. More importantly, I hope things get better for you soon! All my love!! <3

Day, wish we could have done more together! ;;

[yourmove]

SURE! I feel like that's a good fit for us with time stuff.

Although we haven't played together much here, I've really enjoyed playing with you in all the games we've been in together.

Lisa, I love you forever and a day. Our CR together has been brilliant. Howard and Eva especially have made me laugh, cry, smile - and sometimes all three at the same time! Thank you so much for working so hard as a mod for us all, and keeping your chin up in the rough patches and just generally keeping going. We joined almost together, I think, and I think without that initial CR with Howie, I would have given up the Games a long time ago, so thanks for helping me to find my roots. I will be so sad to see you go, but quite frankly, I can't believe you've managed to juggle your time between your degree and work and such intense RP for so long.

If you're up for it, I'd love for a goodbye thread between Eva and Eps. But it's obviously fine if you're not. But, definitely, definitely keep in touch!!

I wish we'd gotten to play more together. Just from the few months I've been here it's obvious how much you've put into this game, thanks so much for all your hard work as a mod and I wish you luck in all things <3

[celebrityskinned]

I'm sure we will! I'm considering this a break, honestly, until I get my head straight. :)

[celebrityskinned]

Thank you so much! Also, I just want to thank you bundles for the Dave/Punchy thread I've always wanted.

[celebrityskinned]

Alas, alack, perhaps in the future. <3

[celebrityskinned]

Thank you, and I've always enjoyed playing with you too. I'm sure our paths will cross again.

[celebrityskinned]

Lili, this message made me cry and I will definitely want a farewell thread with Eva (especially since I'm keeping her around for her last big shebang). You are a wonderful RPer and I'm so happy to have met you.

[celebrityskinned]

Thank you so much, Manda. I'm sure we'll get more chances in the future.

[atippleoftransparency]

*hugs* You do what you need to do. I'm glad I got to play with you at least a little before you had to go. Maybe we can musebox Lyle and Punchy some other time.

[shenunigans]

For sure! That is a thread I have had on my RP bucket list for ages.
