	Okay, it is no secret. I gush about the peeps in my RP's a lot. Why wouldn't I? They are freaking amazing! I am very lucky to have one of the best group of Rpers to get down and dirty with between the posts. We plot, scheme, and roll out never ending twists and turns. Between the six Rp's I am currently Gming it is never a dull moment. Whether it is trying to stop a global conspiracy in Darker Than Black, surviving the latest trials and tribulations in The Walking Dead, hunting down a Necromancer in Duplicity, solving a mystical prophecy in Deeper Than The Sands, traveling the 'Verse in After Miranda, or just #fuddling in Soulless Regency my Rpers keep my on my toes! And I sure as hell do what I can to keep them on theirs. 

	Collectively between the six Rp's we have lost dozens of characters but that doesn't stop us. Doesn't matter how sick one of us gets, how much work or school is stressing us, what is going on we keep trucking. Sure we have had our hiccups along the way but it doesn't matter. We deal, we correct, and we move on. We trust each other to pick up on cues, roll with the punches, and handle anything that comes our way. They were all amazing when they joined up but seeing each of them grow over the months/years is astounding. I would tag them but there are soooooo many I don't think the forum would actually send out all the tags. Just know each and everyone of them rocks and they all will forever have my gratitude for letting me Gm all this madness!

	Yet, gushing about them is not why I am here today. This is a little more than that. Today Soulless Regency hit its [i][color=gold]1 year strong[/color][/i] mark. That in and of itself is amazing but there is more to it than that. With Soulless Regency reaching this milestone it pushes another one to the spotlight. Now I currently have 6, count them 6 Rp's that have been running for a year or more! To be specific, I have 3 at the year+ mark and 3 at the 2 year mark. Now that is something. So I am here to pat myself on the fucking back!

	I don't care if it comes off as prideful or ego. I am damn proud of myself to be able to put together not just one but half a dozen Rp's that are trucking this long. Ones with complex story lines, wonderful posts, twists and turns. Rp's that not only bring in new people but ones that hook people to go "I am going to join this one and this one and this one too that you are hosting!" It takes a hell of a lot of work that has to be fit in between my own persona life, which is hectic as hell. I dedicate a lot to these Rp's, months of planning before each one is launched, a lot of one on one time with each Rper to keep things going, working in their minor story arcs but still keep the main ball running. Romance and heart ache mixed in with mystery and shock. Knowing when to and where to place clues, when to throw a monkey wrench into the works, when to shake things up, when to let them just roll. 

	Without the Rpers in my group I know I wouldn't have near the success with my Rp's that I do but I also know what I do is a big chunk of the success of my Rp's. And so damn it, I am gushing about myself. Every now and then a Gm has to take a step back and give themselves a pat on the back. Marvel at the work they do and just be proud of what they have helped to bring together. So this is my moment and I hope it serves as a reminder next time I get stressed out and want to scream over shit going down that in the end it is completely and totally worth every last ounce of frustration. So for myself, and every other Gm out there that does the job, I just want to say well done! We rock!
