Many years of Iwaku Memories!

[Myrnodyn]

I don't know anymore when I joined exactly, and I don't think it matters much.

My fondest Iwaku memory (out of the many I built up here over the years.) Involves working together with the newly cobbled together staff team after Diana accepted administratorship to more or less save the site and turn it from a nearly dead site back on track into the roleplay site the administration, but ALSO much of the staff, envisioned it to be. I remember active debates about Cbox... the necessity of creating the steambox, the early stages of onsite mature content (a group called the smutclub) and the eventual discussions about what is currently known as the libertine section. There were also less fun events, thankfully mostly happening behind the scenes in staffland, but it all formed a tight core of people who at times seemed to care more about Iwaku than anything else. And I'm still proud to have been a part of that.

Okay, Ive been here since April 2015 (I think?), and already Ive made so many friends and had such a great time here. I found out about Iwaku from @Mari who introduced me to the site and all of those amazing folks at the Murder Series, and it all spiralled out from there.
So, some good memories on the site. There are a lot to get through.
For example, evenings spent on Murder Chat with @Mari, @FireDrake150, and @Wedge Antilles, the most interesting people in the world. :P

Creating The Glorious Team Midas with @The Silver Paladin and numerous others. Team Midas forever!

Participating in most of the Murder Games since MGVI: Fusion, (not to mention everyone putting up with the antics of Joseph, Negative, Midas and everyone else).

Creating The Team and joining the Singularity group. So major shout-outs to the members of both Teams, and anyone who's enjoyed the game so far, because you guys made this happen, and really made the game become its own multiversal epic, not to mention far longer and better than I ever imagined.

@Mari, @Wedge Antilles, @FireDrake150, @BarrenThin,@Kaykay, @The Silver Paladin, @Forrest and especially @Thuro The Assassin Potato, you
guys have truly inspired me this year, and Im glad to call you my friends.

@Verite -Pocket full of sunshine. That is all. :/

Man, I've only been here for a year but it feels like I've been here longer. So much has happened since I joined, you could say I was happier as well. I remember looking for roleplaying sites and just stumbled across this one, so I decided to try it out xD.

No regrets.

Then I recruited @Yata and @Danger because I'm evil and want them to socialise and it seems like they're having fun with the great community here as well ; u;. Making friends is fuuuun. Even moving from the forums to TeamSpeak and meeting even more people... wow.

And who can forget @Hana my bae?? Having so much fun roleplaying with her and I hope to never stop~ I'm really happy I got to meet her ^^ Sooooo many Iwaku memories I've shared with her.

Oh, and there's @TK (shlav) and @Gen. Gwazi Senpai, you guys owe me some senpai pizza <3
You too, @Myrnodyn I demand Myrnpai pizza.

As for my wish, I wish that Iwaku would stay fun and exciting for other people for years to come~

I have so much to thank Iwaku for. When I first joined I was both piqued and doubting about the site, from the way group roleplays worked to the way one on one roleplaying went. And it was quite a trying time for me around November to December, I was trying so much to just be cheerful and myself on this site. Maybe it was trying to escape for a little bit, but I've never been more glad to be a part of this community as time went on. The people in General Chatting were so unique and would come alive with their own opinions, there were always things I could learn from reading certain people's posts during debates and discussions.

And Iwaku also let me meet my bae @Sen. I never anticipated our roleplay to be more than just a liberteen roleplay xD But it quickly turned out to be a very engaging beginning. From even the first few pages of roleplaying with her I was hooked. Staying up late (and she stayed up even later!) just to type out my replies, raging about how bad the internet here is (LOL) and squealing like crazy over our characters. And even then I didn't have to talk to her about only our roleplays, we ended up talking just normally. I felt like I could be more like myself. She's helped me a lot and I thank her and Iwaku everyday, so much, for this gift of friendship.

Then there's @Gen. Gwazi Senpai who I gradually also warmed up to. Honestly I don't even know how we went from being strangers to friends Gwagwa-senpai :P But you're one of the people I really respect here, and thank you so much for talking with me. You're someone who I could be silly with and also talk about more serious topics without fearing about stating my own thoughts.

And who else? @Yata and @TK (shlav) who I also talked more and more with on TS and on Skype xD

A little sad that the one friend who introduced me to Iwaku is now gone from here, though. She's the one who I have to thank for trying out this site, but I can still talk with her ^^

My wish for Iwaku is to continue on being a place that encourages people not only to exercise their creativity and enjoy roleplaying but to also meet people, make friends, and have fun! :)

Let's see...

I actually joined (-clears throat- @Sen) this site last year under a different name, but then I deleted the account because I got bored...BUT THEN, I heard about the crazy-ass roleplay that @Sen and @Hana were doing and then I was like "Okay Imma go read it". I ended up making THIS account (which was also under another name), then gave up because it was too long. I ended up leaving the account inactive for liek 3 months orz.

I didn't know what made me come back during mid-May 2015, but then I was like "Hey, Imma try rolelplay again" and changed my name to Yata Misaki. Yeah, most of the first few roleplays died really quickly, but then I happened to run into a particular roleplayer (which I will not reveal because he will probably flip his shit at me) and then I slowly began to delve into Iwaku.

BUT THE MORE GRATEFUL THING THAT I EVER EXPERIENCED ON IWAKU WAS IRONICALLY, when Iwaku was down for server maintenance. It was during that time I met most of the Iwaku peeps.

If I recall correctly, I literally went up and almost out of nowhere to @Gen. Gwazi Senpai and said "GIMME YO SKYPE WE SHOULD TALK MORE!" and that was how our friendship began :3

Meanwhile, my friendship with @Hana began because where ever she was, @Sen was also there XDDDD <3

And also @TK (shlav) became a good friend because of TS and him being a big noob at League of Legends (LOL SOZNOTSOZ)

No seriously don't say it or else we're both dead. XDDDD

I've been on Iwaku for about a year and a half now and I can say with confidence that......
THIS SITE SUCKS.

NO.

IT LITERALLY SUCKS YOU IN AND YOU CAN NEVER LEAVE.

Anyways, I just want to thank @Xnijmai @The Butterfly @Dawn @Grumpy @fatalrendezvous @Fluffy @Hospes @Diana and I'm way too tired to tag everyone else, but you guys somehow manage to put up with my goofy shenanigans, and listen to my whining. The members of Iwaku have become, what I consider, family. I love/hate you all. <3

 

[Mari]

I have not been around on Iwaku very long, but long enough to make many memories and get to know many people and the characters they portray against mine. Though in general all I have interacted with have been memorable, I shall tag some of those who are great people, who make a positive impact on both me and the Iwaku community as a whole, for that you deserve all the accolades and recognition I could give :)

@Sylvinar Cross @ShatteredSkies @Shattered♦Secrets™ @Josh M @Silentblade328 @Arlathina @Atomyk @Klutzy Ninja Kitty @Mighty Roman @Lizzy @Wedge Antilles @The Silver Paladin @ResistingTheEnlightened @Mako Torriblaidd @mr_pibbs @Emperor Palpachu @Josh M @Hunter of Shadows @Rion @Diana @FireDrake150

Not to be too overly mushy, but Iwaku as a site saved me. I'd just come from a forum that had left me feeling hollow, and Iwaku had actually made me feel like a person again. Iwaku revitalized my passions as a roleplayer and a human being, and in that span of time I met people that I would never have thought I would ever meet, people I shared so many interests with it was almost like we'd almost always been friends. I'm so happy that I've joined Iwaku because this year has been an amazing rollercoaster, and I look forward to many more. My fondest memory? Taking the plunge with Skype and Teamspeak and being able to confirm with those I spoke to that yes, I had friends on Iwaku, and yes, they were real people too.

So my wish for Iwaku? Stay amazing and keep being the beacon that the people of the internet follow to find the best roleplaying site on the web. :D

 

[Durandal]

Well shucks

 

[The Music Man]

You know, i've never been really good at writing about myself, and that's one reason why I found myself constantly coming back on this site, even reloading the page every 2 minutes just to see if a reply had come in.

I don't remember exactly when I joined, but I want to say I have been around for a little over a year. The person who introduced me (*cough* @G3n3s1sR3b0rn *cough*) was a really avid person on here when he was showing me around, he knew like where to go for anything. After some time however, he seemed to have lost interest, now I only see him on maybe two weeks out of every three months. I went the other way, and got addicted to it all.

I'm not anything special outside of my roleplays. Outside of them, i'm a teen who has low self confidence and very low self esteem, driving me to the point of previous thoughts of suicide (don't worry everyone, nothing ever happened........ too badly) and I generally didn't care much about life. After I was introduced, I found myself living the life that I wish I had been able to. If you look at every one of my characters, you'll generally notice two things: First, their personalities are almost always that of a caring person and secondly, they all are strong and can save the people they care for.

This is because those are two traits that I wish I had. If I had these traits, some of my worst memories are because I didn't have these.

However, this isn't what we are here to read, we are here for the good memories. I remember that during one of the site upgrades, I was sitting on TS with @Gen. Gwazi Senpai and we were sitting there talking about who knows what (we had known eachother before hand from this site, so we already were acquainted) and then @Sen, @Hana and @Yata all started popping in. At first we were really quiet with each other (and only two of us were doing any talking). After some time, Gwazi decided we needed to do something, so we started playing CAH as a background thing, and trying to get others to join in and talk.

After that update, the four of us kept talking on skype (and I got yelled at a lot while I was taught league) and somewhere along there, hana, yata and sen became more than friends or acquaintances, they became part of my family.

If I had one wish that would for sure happen, it would be that more people on this site could become more than friends, like I have. I want to see a day where the second someone joins Iwaku for the first time, they are immediatly pulled into the family, where we aren't perfect, but we are there for each other. I kinda hope what they think of when they get pulled into the family is this:

WE HATE YOU MORE <3

More serious note, you're hella awesome, and aren't on the bitchy teenage girl scale. :D

 

[Icystorm]

I have been here for almost a year and the first half (or more) of that year was mainly spent lurking. The charizarding thread was my favorite to lurk on (I should have not been so cowardly and posted!), and I still go read it for laughs. Now, thanks to @Jorick I can go and be entertained by the 7/11 thread. How come I did not know that existed until now?
@Everly is my Supernatural buddy, and @Chrysalism is my Dark Tower love.
I have not had too many role plays, but I want to thank @Charlie Vasilyev and @Wolfiethehybrid123 for the role plays we are currently doing.

 

[ᴛᴏᴄᴋᴀ]

Awww, I'm remembered! Yay! -Pokes @Icystorm- Where were you when I was looking for a Dark Tower rp partner? :P

 

[Icystorm]

@Chrysalism *checks dates* I was getting ready to have surgery. I must thank that surgery also because now I can spend all my time on Iwaku. xD

 

[ᴛᴏᴄᴋᴀ]

-Isn't sure if she should give sympathy or not now- o.o

Good excuse though. I guess I can forgive you for that. :P

 

[Icystorm]

I a glad I am forgiven ^^ No sympathy, unless it is towards me having to go through airport security. That should be a method of torture 0.0
New role play idea. Your character must survive the horror of an airport that my mind creates.

Could turn it into a FNAF/Groundhog's Day sort of thing where your character has to survive the airport for five days, and every time they screw up the same day starts over again. XD

Sounds like fun. I think I'll stick with driving everywhere.
