I’m not really a social person, so this is a weird prompt for me. I get along with most people, but I don’t think I talk to anyone in this league outside of league contexts at all really, so I feel a bit strange trying to separate "special mentions" from the community (and those within it that I've interacted with) as a whole... and I've been here long enough that this is a long list.
That said, my current teammates on the Yeti have largely been really cool people to get to know a little. I might not be around every day to talk, or maybe I don’t talk much some days, but I feel like we can all have some good chat from time to time and that’s nice. Mostly my interactions have been with a handful of people who are most often around when I'm online. So like Schwarz and Isa have been great, and they're basically the reason Raphael Delacour is a Yeti. Ephy and Syl are often around when I’m online too so we have some nice interactions. Tesla, whenever she makes an appearance is a fucking delight (as I'm sure everyone knows by now). I’m sure some others in the Yeti LR are probably growing a little tired of my repeated interjections of some variation on “capitalism is shit” but it’s not causing any problems as far as I can tell, which is a big plus. Means I don't have any reason to dislike anyone in there right off the bat, lol. If I didn't namedrop you here, my bad. I'm old and my memory ain't what it used to be.
I still hang with some of my old teammates in other LRs too, so like when Blas (who has been slacking on Atticus pics in the Norfolk LR) and I chip into conversations with our unique brown man perspectives (which, in fairness, is mostly a shared resentment of Britain, thinking about it); Connor and Lanced consistently cracking me up wherever I see them; wrestling talk in Philly from time to time with Pat, WFM and whoever else is around; Hall getting me back in the Hawks server (though it’s not the same without the OG Hawks crew -- slm, manic, raven, barry, hendrix and zoone -- all kickin it in there tbh, and it feels like ancient history to even remember those days now).
Also gotta shout out the wiki crew. Not gonna list names, there’s a lot of you, and you know who you are. Glad you guys are still grinding away on that. I know the project as a whole is a bit divisive among the member base, but I still think it’s one of the best things I’ve done around here. The best obviously being Gibson’s Story because that was fucking legendary.
Anyway all this to basically say that even considering there are people I don’t get along with in this league (there always is), I’m glad I’ve had (over) four years here. It’s been interesting shooting the shit with some of you. And if I haven’t shot the shit with you yet, there’s always tomorrow. I’m not as standoffish as I seem, I promise.
