Mad-Monkey88 because he was epic and funny in ways I cannot even describe. I miss him so! (Most of you probably won't remember him because that was years ago!) Also Mazelle because despite her nappy braid phase, she too is epic and funny. But don't tell her I said that, I will deny...deny...DENY! xd
^ this chick and 9goats are the two that come to mind.
Also jonjon because he is the boss NPC.
^ this old hag for creating MLH. heart
Also all the MLH peeps for making playing zOMG fun and being there for me.

I guess it's about time a joined in the good vibes, but first let's look back...
In here you'll find what I believe to be my first posts/convo in the z! forum(I'm on page 3).
Take a look to see how far I've come, it's funny really, but I'll some up:
> gataka dares to put out a wall of text
> [Makata] reads it all and answers
> [Makata] even makes a thread based on a point I'd brought up
> gataka is shocked and puffs out another wall
Short, someone cared to listen. Trivial but that's how it all began :U
Over time a lot of people did and I can't name nor thank them all enough for that.
However two in particular somehow managed to endure my sustained presence.
'cause I'm a pain really. Y'all know it. Right? Right. Yeah. The pleasureable kind.
emotion_awesome
Anyway, first was a mad oracle and the other a frog. To put it dryly :U
If you don't know either here's a hint...
Red Kutai
gataka
gataka is the only user I distinctly remember posting in my first thread in the z!F - from there, he linked me to other suggestion threads, and it was from that very first experience that I decided the z!F was a place worth spending some time in. At the time I'm sure it seemed rather trivial - to both of us - but I can say with some confidence that if it weren't for his actually engaging me in that thread, I likely wouldn't have bothered coming back.
Valheita
I won't claim to know Val exceptionally well - certainly not as well as I'd like - but if I had to name one person whom I simply admired more than anyone else in the z!F, it would be him. The thread that gataka linked me to in my first excursion here was one of Val's, and ever since then he's served as a sort of personification of the reasons I started spending time here in the first place. It's obviously a shame not to see him around anymore, and I suspect my fascination with suggestion threads today stems from his influence on me way back when, indirect as it may be.

Wowowowait...
Are you refering to this:

This has been proposed before. Anyway, how minor is minor?
I suspected it may've been, but I couldn't find it, personally. I might simply have resurrected the old topic, if I could've... sweatdrop
Honestly, as minor as minor can be. I don't want to steal Fitness's thunder (or what's left of it), but I would really like more variance in my stats. Penalties that won't grievously harm you, but if you manage to stack up a number of these passive effects, it could be relevant...
Why is having the same stats so troubling?
And doubling in crews is solved by a trip to the Null. That's a minor inconvenience.
Having the same stats may just be an aesthetic problem, but I think Meaty McMeaterson should be naturally meatier than Scrawny Scrawnerson. Sure, Scrawny's faster, but that's the way it goes. It grants, like the link says, individuality.
And simply switching rings implies that it should be wrong for a crew to double-up on buffs. That is a major blow to individuality, as you become simply a cog in the "crew machine"; if you don't fit, whittle it down, or find a new one.
By the by, thanks for the link... sweatdrop
Saying it lead to, *waves arms*... ALL THAT!!
'cause that was trivial as all hell x D
Well, happens. Hit it.
emotion_brofist
Really, if so little good can lead to so much, how much harm has all the trollin'/harshness done?
...oh yeah good vibes.
BTW, Mr Frog, assuming you're reading this and not...doing what you've been doing lately (how long?) , remember that time when you came back to me months later on a discussion we'd had on the nature of fun and games and whatnot?
That was awesome, left me speechless, therefore my answer was crap, but I had to say something for some reasons I do not know, even if you had been rather explicit about an answer not being needed. I don't remember exactly what I said but you can forget it :U
Memory Haunts You
I'm not sure how to talk about Mem without taking away from what I've said about the others; I think so highly of her that it hardly seems fair. Nonetheless, Mem is arguably the reason that I am still here in the z!F every single day. She is quite simply one of the most wonderful people I've ever met - online or off - and I love her dearly; as any of our many 'children' will surely attest.

Well, dear, today you definitely made "the difference" to me by posting this! biggrin
And needless to say, you have been making the difference for me during the whole past year and a few months. heart
Even before we knew each other well, though, there were already a few occasions on which you made the difference for me, and though I believe I have already spoken about them in other places, I will repeat a few of them here:
1. I had chosen one of the worst possible moments to start playing zOMG!, two years ago during the Halloween event. The whole place was frozen up due to Jack lag. So I came to the forum to check whether other people were having problems to, and one of the first posts I saw was one where you explained the different sorts of lag that exist. And I thought: Oy!! There are intelligent people in this place! I might stick around! biggrin
PSA intermezzo: z!F-ers, are you paying attention? What do we learn from this? Post intelligent things. It makes a difference, for a new player who looks at the forum for the first time, if the first impression is one of intelligent, coherent talk rather than inane spam. I know it made the difference for me.
2. During the big sEB debacle, when I was VERY hurt due to a developer's implication that I was an abuser of the game, while many other people only added fuel to the fire by being prejudiced and not willing to listen, you were one of the very few non-sEB players who were at least open to our point of view. And you *believed* and understood my explanation about playing sEB for the fun of the speed, and not for the gold.
My wish for the z!F is that people would understand, like you, that a discussion is not a battle or a contest but an opportunity to learn.
hmm..Honestly, there's no specific zomger who sticks out in my head. Of course, my memory is prettyyyy shitty now, so who knows. Really though, a lot of people have made zomg a better game for me, and generally are just awesome.
To name a few:
Poyudi - You were one of the first people I crewed with for DMS, and we helped each other figure out how DMS worked. It was pretty great. You've moved on to bigger things, and you deserve it man.
Curt - Lol, I'm not really sure what to say about you but..you're pro. cool
Omni - I have only crewed with you once, but it was great. Plus, you make amazing guides and I've heard you're pretty nice too.
RedKutai - I don't really know you, I just see you around the forums and you're pretty damn awesome. Keep it up.
ACER - Lol, dude. You were one of the first people I crewed with in DMS, and I have to say it was..interesting. Ahaha. Miss ya bro.
Faiji - c: You helped me on my first BL run, and it was awesome.
DelDev and your friend or whoever I can't remember the name of - I miss you guys! You were awesome.
Devit - Dude, I can't even explain how awesome you are. There are no words.
Porno - c: You may be strict butttt you're nice to me and insanely awesome so xD
Teddies - I KNOW WE HAVE SOMETHING! DON'T EVEN DENY IT ANYMORE! lol
And probably a lot of others who I seriously can't remember the names of. I still love you even if I don't remember your name! Dx <3
Also -- Why the ******** did no one say my name damnit! I'm everyone's favourite moody, trolling, cursing, crazy DMSer. :c
