Let's give this a proper closing shall we?
three threads, if you include the sign-up, and I do, starting on the 12th of September 2006 - over 11000 posts!!!! just let that sink in considering the campfire is almost at 100k!
the RPG started on the 17th of September 2006 with a core group of characters as follows:
Sir William S Titan – Zarvyx Dhoshlin – Human Fighter -MIA Now a Druid
DaemianLucifer – DaemianLucifer – Elf Necromancer
ThunderTitan – Kero Swift – Human Monk
theLuckyDragon - Leprechaun - Gnome Illusionist - Gnoming arround somewhere..
vhilhu - - Grey Elf Chaos Priest -MIA
Banedon - - Human Sorcerer (dead, dragon food) -dead
Panda Tar - Erufar Netheleth – High Elf Monk - on hold....
gravyluvr - Milla's Love-slave – Tiefmar rogue -MIA (havn't heard from him for awhile)
Omega_Destroyer - Omega D. – Human Cleric
stefan.urlus - - Human Thief
Caradoc - - Human Fighter-MIA (also havn't heard from him for awhile)
and what a group it was! who can forget the early flight of dragons, the good looks of the thief, the nasty red dragon that cut short banedons brief yet fun filled existence, the fight in the grove, the superb skills of the thief, the showdown with the Highlord (uhhh .... Lady), the sojourn to Ravenloft, the adventures at Frostmourn, the fascinating and always humourously insightful quips by the thief .... fun times!
Mytical - you are a god to me, for the work and effort to create this and run with it so long, not just for the RPG itself, but also for the sideline rpg's that ran for months for me and DL (I'll thank you on his behalf) - they were so very great, in some ways better then the RPG itself (especially for my character

) - the enormity of the work in keeping it together and ontrack deserves recognition, and I'm very glad you got a knighthood partially for this.
OD, the unsung, much kudos for rolling with the story and making it your own, the style was different, the action intense - the ravenloft part was a masterpiece - thanks for your efforts in keeping things going when Mytical could not .... the longevity of this RPG here, is due in large part to your efforts
the main players, DL while he was here, was excellent as our leader, SWST as a player through - was always great, TT was a little in and out, but I heard he likes it like that .... Panda has been MIA on occasions

but great when he was there .... the others that joined and really made it what it is/was .... winter - brilliant, Ceres - a tortured soul, loved your work, Elvin - your fury at the end was inspiring, Vlad - was awesome as the rough fighter, his verbal sparring with Saph in particular was a joy, OD for playing himself and any number of NPC's, Mytical for her masterful playing of the MPC's definately deserves a mention here as well, tMD - had a crack, got a little lost, had a little cry, is down with it!
This whole project was a massive undertaking, all of us who took part in it, should look back on it with a certain amount of pride, it was a great thing! and we made it so.
I'm sad to see it end here, along with the migration of OD and Ceres and winterfate who now mainly choose to spend their time at the HC (at least winter makes it back here regularly

)
to answer OD's question, jaded maybe because I've been here from the start, and things were slowing down .... maybe i needed a break, jaded was probably a poor choice of word - nothing to do with the direction of the rpg
well done all!
