@helvetica omg

@Tez is basically my platonic life partner and is SO cognizant and concerned about being as fair an authority as she can, and protecting people who need protecting
@sao can invent a character out of THIN AIR in the space of a SNEEZE and they will be so vibrant and alive and real in just an instant
have you ever seen @Meg theorize about how a plot is going to go? she has a MAGIC ABILITY to either come up with the accurate answer, or something even more fantastic.
@deadscribe’s RP is ridiculously evocative and he is a chill motherfucker
@Third-Eye is one of the people that i use as a, like. chill barometer. she is more capable than most at healthily disengaging from bad vibes and bad folks. if you rile her up, i will raise my eyebrows
Eit is not here but you will never, EVER mistake her writing style for anyone else in the world.
@farfalla has such a strong sense of internal fairness and justice and does such good work trying to actively keep herself accountable, which is the hardest thing to do
@glitch quietly works in the background to do SO MUCH to support the community. he doesn’t like being perceived. but i see u
@Narson is a ridiculous motherfucker but good lord is he also a delight
@Pyrephox is such a vivid and specific RPer, and so consistently safe in her IC and OOC separation. that is the case for EVERY incarnation of hers, but i will forever treasure the specific delight of one particular RP friendship that was so rich
i hope @Rathenhope never stops making the jokes he makes because holy shit. playing himbos together is A+++
@hellfrog deserves more credit than she ever gets for all that she did to build Arx, its theme, and most especially its culture into what it is today
@Apos deserves so much credit for the amount of work and the depth of world-building he has done for Arx over the years
@ham is another who is consistently interesting and specific in his RP, but who i will always treasure a very particular PC connection we got to explore. it is rare to find people that you can safely RP through something ICly messy, unhealthy, and even a bit toxic, but i always felt safe playing that with you
@tsar is so conscientious about her positions, and such a warm and generous RP partner. whenever i’ve needed a sounding board, she’s always been a voice of reason
@Tat did something honestly remarkable in the design, build, and reinvention of the magic system of Spirit Lake
i cannot even remember the last time @Yam and i got to rp but she is honestly motherfucking hilarious and i love her even though she drinks crunchy milk
Tehom is also not here but, i mean. guys. the arx codebase. and the fact that he put in the time and work to make it accessible to others.
i miss playing faith family of that specific era with @Snackness but i’m so delighted whenever we get to play again
@Tori has built numerous guides and helpers for Arx stuff, specifically all her crafting work, that has helped a TON of people
@IoleRae is so open about mistakes and learning from them in a way that takes so much courage. we have managed to have big scuffles on MSB and come out on the other side
i want @Herja to drop meteors on me every day of the week. i want the richness of her trauma. but also, when one storyline hit too deep and too close to something difficult, she was so kind and generous about working around it
i don’t know if most arx folks have noticed the number of code contributions @dvoraen has made to arx, but i have
@crawfish draws the best fkn cats you guys. i am so excited for my tarot deck. and i’m so excited that she found the perfect audience for her art and seems to be enjoying it so much
@mietze is such a kind and warm RP partner, and i’m really excited to be exploring such an interesting character dynamic with her again!!
@helvetica is just. man. life goals amount of attitude. one of the most remarkable things i’ve seen her do is just – recognize when a situation was no good for her and walked away.
@Mosephine has DEADLY ACCURACY in her detective skills and everyone should fear her
@Dreampipe introduced me to NOBLMAN, SWERV and he will die a hero for that
i once saw @kalakh face an IC situation that could very well have been the end of her character, and she chose to move forward ICly because it was what was true to her character. it was so great, and not everyone has the guts to fully own that
@moth flits in and out of my RP circles just like their username suggests and it is always SO EXCITING when it happens. we got to play one of my favorite character friendships
@MarsGrad and i have gotten to write some pretty delightful character pairings and is always open to talking stuff out
@Faraday just deserves a ridiculous amount of credit for Ares. and not just the huge amount of work, but i have such respect for her having a clear vision and intention from the start and staying true to it.
i legitimately have no idea who @pisscat is, i just know that every couple months i’d have a flood of upvotes as they clearly caught up on MSB posts, and it always warms my heart

While I’m here, @Rathenhope for ending petition spam
as previously stated, good day.
-
DON’T WORRY: I’ll make sure Roz answers for her crime of making @farfalla cry and buy Roz ice cream tonight.
-
I don’t know most of you but I’ll join the celebration of @Faraday and @Tat for being very helpful around coding and developing code – and to @Ren for saving me every time I try.
Any pronouns. Come to Chincoteague. We have ponies. http://keys.aresmush.com

I mean @Rathenhope for RathHugs, and adorable moments of accidental poshness.
ETA: Wait @Roz - I am not ridiculous. Vinegar bread is good eats. It just needs some excellent marketting.
When someone shows you who they are, over and over again? Believe them.

I think the entire Ares discord community deserves a shout out for being welcoming, supportive, and willing to help each other fail forward in lots of code, configuration, design, and other ways.

As long as it has Casper. You are always better in the corner with Casper pissing out, than in the room with Casper pissing in.

@hellfrog When I first got started, I was in a very toxic situation with several players who I’d thought had my best interests in mind. I didn’t come to realize these things till Hellfrog messaged me out of the blue and asked if all was good. I attribute the fact that I stuck in this hobby to her, as I don’t think I would’ve been able to pull back without being told in no uncertain terms how much independence I really had.
@Herja Some of my fondest IC relationships have been with Herja’s PCs. Beyond that, her confidence and helpfulness has helped me out in a ton of uncertain situations, and I always feel like I can speak to her comfortably and openly. Which is such a rare quality to find, and I’m very grateful for it.
@Apos Has always been very straightforward and real when I needed help or clarification. Thank you for creating such a vibrant world that has been apart of my life for years.
@Roz and @sao have both been very big inspirations for the whack-ass storylines that I’ve gotten involved in over the years. Likewise, I can pick out scenes we’ve had that stuck with my characters as hugely meaningful for development and high points of fun for myself personally.
@farfalla While I don’t get the chance to play with them much, the few scenes I’ve had with Eleanor on Arx have been fantastic and emotional. They’re things that I think changed my character’s outlook significantly and I cherish that.
@Meg I got invited to her discord server once and when I joined the voice channel everyone was making penis jokes. We played DBD and it was really fun. This was years ago but I still remember it fondly. I was also playing the survivor named Meg and immediately blundered the second I was in a chase with the killer.
@tieflinguist I’m not sure there’s anyone I can describe more as ‘ride or die’ in character. They’ve always been a joy to talk to and their characters are some of the most fun just to observe.
@Tori Their ascii work is incredible, but I’m sure everyone knows that by now. They’ve also always been very chill and very pleasant both ICly and OOCly. I can’t recommend playing with them enough.
@Snackness Thena was one of my favorite characters, and I loved my brief stint in the org she ran. Perpetual grump is a mood.
@crawfish I have my Victus-cat framed in my room and sometimes I look at it and go ‘hehehe’
Ask me about professional wrestling.
You are also A+ excellent. Also
