I've had a lot of nice things said to me over the years but one moment sticks out the most to me... And it was after a pretty bad incident.
I was co-hosting a gameshow-esque charity thread and the guy in charge suddenly quit after some drama he started in tinychats with some of the contestants. I was suddenly left in charge of over 5mil gold (that was roughly the equivalent of two and a half Golden Laurels then) and a bunch of angry Gaians.
I spent about a week trying to pacify everybody in the thread, keeping them updated of the situation and assuring them the gold will be given out properly and responsibly. There was still lots of hate talk about the user who ragequit on us. But one post took me by surprise. I won't quote it word for word but basically they told me about how well I was handling the situation after all the bullshit user xxx caused, how was I acting like everyone's "Jiminy Cricket" and that I should have been in charge of the whole thing in the first place.
It really moved me and made me so goddamn happy in that stressful time. I actually saved that post as a text document somewhere on this laptop.
woahh thank you for sharing that story! I think that little bit of support when you are in need can be so pivotal. It really is refreshing and recharging.
I forgot to mention that I was about 15-16ish years old at the time and that encouraging post came from someone much older than me commenting on my maturity about the whole situation.
That was awesome.
