Likeable Blokes/Blokettes

[Proto Man]

I like Greg, because I've known this guy for 9 and a half years. Like, seriously, I remember AIM'ing with him while I was at my grandparents for Thanksgiving while we were still in f'king high school. We were talking about Friend or Foe 2 (a competition/storyline going on at the time) and making plans for afterwards (which I believe became Red Stallions). I've always thought that Greg was a chill dude, and while we had periods where life pulled us apart, we never truly fell apart. While we've never met, I kind of feel like we grew into adulthood together, along with many other 'Chubbsians.' It's always been a pleasure to chat with you and collaborate with on various projects. I hope we can continue well into what remains of adulthood.

I like Ganondorf. I don't think we were ever really super close, and I remember times when you annoyed me as Blue on Chubbs, but I've always respected you. Like Retane, you had a life that was just way more complicated than mine, but you always seemed to keep a level head and be, at your core, a nice guy. That's an extremely admirable trait, and I hope I can emulate some of that as my life grows increasingly complicated.

I like Atelos. He helped me remember how much fun roleplay/writing can be when you have a partner to bounce content and ideas off of. That really helped me develop my alternate character and get into an amazing groove, and for that, I couldn't be more happy and thankful.

I like Sarah. I think you're a year older than most of my students, but you're many times more mature (or you at least act that way on the internet, which is probably much more difficult than in real life). I appreciate your dedication to the website, especially in the drab days many months ago. I look forward to collaborating in-character with you at some point in the future, and I hope that you stick around for a while.

I like Dark Link. No offense, but we never really worked together on Chubbs. You were in the original Civil Unrest, so you get street cred from me, but I never really had a chance to write or work with you. Since then, though, I've watched you go from someone who seemed to struggle with the English language to someone who truly has a way with words. On top of that, you're level-headed and kind, which are two traits that I honor above most when it comes to individuals on the internet.

I like Magus. Much like Dark Link, we only really interacted when our old Chubbs characters sacrificed their lives to kill the bad guy (#nostalgia), but I remember various times over the 'down time' (when I wasn't writing and the community was dead) that we'd just have random conversation through face book or steam. You seemed pretty chill to me and one of those people who thrived despite having a life that was exceedingly complicated. I'm so happy that you've found the time to write, even if it's just occasionally. You'd be an asset to any play-by-post community.

I like Blackfire. What can I say, Nate? I've known you longer than everyone, and just like with the other British person on this list, it seems like we can never really be torn apart for too long by life. Whether it was in 2005, 2008, 2011 or any other year, you've been a fun person to roleplay with. And yes, I remember your shenanigans in your early days (like your ass being banned for joining as too many characters!!). I hope that you find the time to write a little bit more, because like Dark Link, it was awesome to watch you grow and mature as a writer over your 7 or so years on Chubbs.

I like Guu. Your writing and your dedication to turning the Dataverse from just some place that's there into an integral platform for in-character communication earned my respect as someone who loves a rich world. Dunno if there will be anything to pull any of our characters together in-character, but I'll continue to see what sort of shenanigans you write.

I like Luffy, even if you're not pink. You were one of those people who was pure FoF/AD, and unlike many of them, you were a talented writer and a great guy. I think of you as the 'Sting' of AD. You represented the brand through-and-through, and you went down with the ship rather than jump to the other franchise. And now you're here, far from your twilight years (unlike the aforementioned pro wrestler), and I'm hoping your inject some quality writing and level-headed staffing into your tenure here.

I like Baron... he has that perfect balance of nice guy and 'kind of a dick' that makes him a genuinely cool guy. Kind of like an awesome antihero who everyone prefers over the protagonist. I remember you back when you were a troublesome high schooler, and even then, you were always helpful to me, whether with AD or other stuff. I've said this a few times on this list, but I'm glad you found this community. You're a welcomed asset regardless of whether or not you can write actively.

I like Retane. Sometimes you can irritate me, but I know at your core that you're a good dude. Some people will give you shit for it, but I enjoy your knack for stirring up people with your threats of killing them (in-character, of course). You're a good writer when you're motivated. Stay motivated and give people hell (in-character, of course).

I like Whirda, because I think we're pretty similar in the sense that we consider ourselves more as writers than roleplayers. I admire your talent and your drive, and I'm glad to have a chance to collaborate with you.

I like Shonen Hero, because his comics are pleasant. Plus he's the 'Buukster. TEH BUUKSTER.

I like Jak Mar and Amaterasu, because they don't write, but they visit and do their part to enhance the community regardless. Respect.

Anyone I didn't mention... I'm sorry. It just means I didn't think I had much more than generic things to say. I don't hate anyone on this website, so you can take that as a consolation, I guess? You're all nice people. Keep writing and keep growing the community.
