Love Meme 2021

[untune_the_sky]

Hey all!

I admit, I wave having a bit of a bad day and I decided to check out the Love Memes linked on my player page from the wiki... which is when I realized the last Love Meme was in 2018! 2018! That was so long ago!

So I thought it might be a good idea to go about setting up one for 2021. :)

No negativity, please, only praise, compliments, and joy.

I'm going to start a thread for everyone, but if this triggers anyone's anxiety, I can remove your entry from the thread, no worries.

Go forth, giveth and thou shalt receive-eth the love. Eth. :P

Rossi, you are always there to help me with the game. Also, you've got such a strong vision of your characters and their powers. After watching WandaVision I got even more excited about reading 'Nica - I really enjoy your portrayal of her.

Re: Rossi

[xp_darcy]

First off, thanks for everything you do behind the scenes! I love how strong the voice for your characters comes across, and it's a delight to read logs with them.

Re: Rossi

[dexfarkin]

I believe I will continue to make you do the heavy work to make me look good. Seriously though, you've been a key ally and close friend for a long time in this game and without you, I don't know if people know how much less we'd have and be right now, if we existed still at all.

Re: Rossi

[xp_daredevil]

you do so much for the game and it is not always remarked on, but it is always appreciated! we would likely not be here as a game without the wiki and all you do to support it.

Re: Rossi

[untune_the_sky]

Oh, Rossi, Rossi. :) I’d be lost in XP were it not for your wiki wizardry. You do so much for the game, both behind the scenes and right up front as well. I love reading Amanda, always have, and I can’t wait to throw Clint at her so they can restart their begrudging friendship. Or at least begrudging agreement to watch over Topaz a bit.

I’ve definitely enjoyed catching up on Nica’s development since I’ve been back. I’m looking forward to seeing what you do with both your girls! :)

Re: Rossi

[canadiandiamond]

Rossi! You are amazing, which is not even a strong enough word but it's late and my brain is a little mushy but it's still true. Thank you so much for everything you've done and continue to do for this game; I'm pretty confidant when I say that if it weren't for you XP would've fallen apart years ago.

I miss our logs with Sarah and Yvette, they were fundamental to my enjoying XP and wanting to stick with it back when I started. Bobby and Monica logs make me happy too, and Amanda is just fantastic even if I never logged with you / was around enough to do many logs with her and Bobbi.

Thank you specifically for keeping the Wiki going. I hope that I'll have the capacity to be more helpful in the near future but you've done so much with it, it's awesome.

I also hope that some day once all this COVID stuff gets better (sooner rather than later I hope, for many reasons) that I'll get a chance to visit you and the TO crew, which is way long overdue. :)

Re: Rossi

[seraangel]

There’s so much you do for this game and for everyone that I always feel like just words honestly aren’t enough to convey just how grateful I am to you for it all.

And also, how amazing and grateful I am to have you as a friend. We haven’t seen each other now in about two years and I definitely miss your face.

Love you more than sleep.

Player of Julian Keller/Scion

Re: Ryan

[dexfarkin]

Miss your Julian, man. You let me cut off his hands, so hard decisions are obviously in your wheelhouse. Whatever you ended up doing, you've done some great and brave work here over the years and it is appreciated.

Re: Ryan

[xp_daytripper]

RL has gobbled you up, alas, but don't ever feel like you're not missed. You are, hugely. I admire the way you're happy to take risks with you character - it's not easy to agree to have your characters' hands cut off! - and your ability to bring a log together. Best of luck with the new projects!

Re: Ryan

[canadiandiamond]

Julian is a character I never really cared for in the comics, but your take on him is so great. I love reading him in XP, even if we haven't had a chance to interact much, but I hope that'll chance in the not-too-distant future. :)

Salla

[frito_kal]

Player of Betsy Braddock/Psylocke

Re: Salla

[dexfarkin]

Really impressed with your Betsy and it feels like you're really getting your feet under you with the character. I'm so looking forward to that next step that I know is coming and see what you can do with her.

Re: Salla

[xp_darcy]

I really love seeing Betsy in action and can't wait to see more!

Re: Salla

[xp_daytripper]

Betsy is wonderful. You have such a grasp of her, which is not an easy thing to do when you have such a large shadow to play under with Betsy's former incarnation. She's snarky and funny and you have the dry British wit down pat. And you yourself have been a great addition to XP, always ready to join in and help out and sock. You've awesome.

Sam

[frito_kal]

Player of Topaz and Alex Summers/Havok

Re: Sam

[xp_darcy]

SAM. Thank you for all the game stuff you do, for sharing Midnight with Darcy (don't front, it's totally a time share), and for generally being awesome. If I list all the things I love about you and your characters I would be here all day, so tl;dr you are awesome, your characters are awesome, and I love reading their logs and interacting with them.

Seraph

[frito_kal]

Player of Laurie Collins/Wallflower, Jubilation Lee/Jubilee and Maya Lincoln-Lopez/Echo

Re: Seraph

[xp_darcy]

Seraph! What can I say about your brain and logging with you that isn't ridiculously soppy? I love Darcy's interactions with your characters, and I'm thrilled you're letting me piggyback on your Laurie arc for some of my own character development. Thank you for being willing to set the main points we need to hit in a log so we don't get lost in eternal banter. :P

Shai

[frito_kal]

Player of Miss America Chavez

Re: Shai

[dexfarkin]

Glad to see the pick-up of Chavez. To be honest, not a fan of the canon character, but the basis is a fit for you in a lot of positive ways and it feels like it's a good character to get your groove back and tell some of the stories I know from experience you excel at.

Tapestry

[frito_kal]

Player of Marius Laverne/Emplate and David Haller/Legion

Re: Tapestry

[dexfarkin]

Well, you've been a favourite writer of mine for well over two decades and you're my go-to when I need something difficult, challenging, and generally something I'm only willing to trust to the best. Which is clearly you.

Tink

[frito_kal]

Player of Darcy Lewis

Re: Tink

[dexfarkin]

I admit, I've spent several years not knowing what Darcy does in the game. However, it turns out, give you an opportunity to shine and you'll seize it with both hands and show something special. I'm very excited to work with Darcy in XF and excited to see what your take and perspective is going to add to the Operations. I love watching characters suddenly find their calling and blossom, and I see all the signs of that with her in the coming months.

Twiller

[frito_kal]

Player of Doug Ramsey/Cypher and Jean-Phillipe Colbert/Bevatron

Re: Twiller

[dexfarkin]

Heh, you finally lost a limb to tech. I think I pitched that idea, what, over ten years ago for Doug? Seriously though, you've taken advantage of opportunities and haven't flinched away from some hard elements to play through in the game. It's a testament to your dedicated and also a need for authenticity that I admire.

Walks

[frito_kal]

Player of Namor and Arthur Centino/Longshot

Re: Walks

[dexfarkin]

I really hope whatever new configuration XFI ends up with gives you a chance to really push some of your thoughts with Arthur. You have a great mix to work with and your talent as a writer and player is obvious. I really want to see you find that sweet spot, because I think there's amazing potential there beyond what we've already seen.

Zippit

[frito_kal]

Player of Logan/Jim Howlett/Wolverine and Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow

Re: Zippit

[dexfarkin]

I'd really love to see Natasha more integrated in XF. The character is such a natural fit into the dynamics and there's so much room to grown that I really want to see her more in the mix.

I appreciate all the support with Logan, especially since it's a relationship you inherited with the character between him and Garrison, and it's an important one.

XP in General/Groups

[frito_kal]

This is a place to leave general praise for the game as a whole, or a group of players.

Re: XP in General/Groups

[dexfarkin]

I don't have a ton of brain, so my responses are going to be less praise and more... I dunno, thoughts? Ideas? Brain vomit?

Please don't take offense.
