I wanted to do this a month ago, but I lost track of time, and now I'm moving, and holy shit if I don't do it now, I'm never going to do it. So it might be getting late, I might be tired, but by golly, you've gotta stop and smell the roses every once in a while. Was that enough build up? Who cares.

Everyone, we did a Danganronpa RP for a full year. Not only that, but we managed to complete two full class trials in the court of carnage! Come on, let's give you guys a hand.

[@addamas] I still remember when you showed up with a character. I distinctly remember the embarrassingly lazy name. Fortunately, Felix Garfield turned out to be a pretty cool character. Max isn't half bad either. And this is your first forum RP? I mean hell, my first RP character was an angel/demon with two scythes. Felix Garfield, well, I can only really make fun of his name. You may go on a crazy number of hiatuses, but I'm glad to have you, and waiting for you to return is always worth it. And you'd better keep on returning! otherwise ima have to find and smack you.

[@MyCatGinger] You may not be in the RP anymore, but man you were a blast to have around! It's so hard to find people who are as mean/crazy/kinky/perverted/junko obsessed as I am. Well, okay, you probably topped me on a lot of those points, but you were always approachable and pleasant to have in discord. It's a shame more people aren't willing to make an exit like that. Usually when people leave an RP they just sort of ghost on me.  Marianne and her player are both people we're going to remember for a very long time. 

[@Vocab] You drive me crazy, and I don't mean in the good way. You start fights, you're gross, obnoxious, and your ability to theorize until you sound like a conspiracy nut is unparallelled. To say your my favorite anything would be heresy. Yet at the same time, I can't say things would be as interesting without you. Shaun's reveal was definitely one of the single most powerful moments of chapter two, even though you may have driven me and everyone in theorize chat half mad with your duplicitous acts. I do not believe you are a one trick pony, and look forward to (some) of your future antics. 

[@ThatCharacter] I remember you rushing to the OOC thread like a school child who was almost late for class. I don't regret leaving the RP open to you when I closed it to all else. You were a nice guy, and your posts were enjoyable to read. You almost made it to the trial, and then you vanished, radio static. Was this because knight waifu died? I don't know why I kept your character around. Maybe part of me hoped one day you would return. It's nothing that's happened in the past,  yet the improbable does happen from time to time. Thank you for having the courage to return.

[@Mateotis] You don't write as much as you use to, but everything you write is worth reading. You're one of the players I scouted via PM long before even drafting ToC. While I decided to hit you up via PM because of your Hajime avatar, I decided to invite you to the RP because of how polite and easy going you seemed in other OOC chats. But you're just as good in RP as you are in social circles. I don't think many people can even attempt to write a character like the infinite poet, who's verse and rhymes distinguishes him from the rest of the cast. Thanks for staying with us. But I'll never respect you as long as you enjoy Drv3's ending.

[@Spriggs27] In the life of the RP, you've only been in it for the better part of four months. But there is something refreshing about how unashamed you are of anime cliches. Flash someone? You've done it. Make a milk tank? You've done it. And while you may not like to collab as much as the rest of us, you tolerate it. So while you may not choose to write about the most serious topics, it's fun to see how the other characters react to the strange shenanigans you come up with. Which is why you really should fully embrace collabs. But honestly, I think you secretly like them.

[@Ariamis]Mon mon, my buddy from across the pond. Mondatta was easily one of my favorite characters, and his dialog was all on point. It broke my heart to ask you to sacrifice him for the cause. He did make for a very interesting victim though, and I think everyone's love for the character made for an intense trial. You're a blast to have in discord too, even though you never seem to hang around very long. I also love what you've been doing with Mary, and the recently adopted Caora. I'm always excited when I see you've writen a post. Thanks for sticking with us.

[@AimeChambers] You're another oldie-but-goodie who came back after a long, unannounced hiatus. Though like with Calvin, I found myself actively keeping you characters relevant to the RP as it moved along in the event you were to return. Though upon your return, it seems like you're posting enough to make up for lost time. And while I do enjoy reading your posts, you are perhaps even better in discord. If only because Vocab seems to be a bit more stable when you are around. I'm sure I would have banned him from the discord already if you weren't here.

[@Melo] I think everyone enjoys Cyrus during the trials, and Noel's interviews make for some very interesting “fee time” segments. But I think something that goes unrealized by most is that you helped me with some of the rules for the infinite killing game. So thank you for sticking with us, even if life makes it hard sometimes. And now I'd like to use the rest of this paragraph to tell you to get your ego in check! Seriously, where did this Togami-level smugness come from? Just because your “babu” for life thinks your the smartest, cutest, bestiest best boy in all the lands doesn't make it true! 

[@FamishedPants] You were a late joiner, but ever since we first met... I've been having very Miu Iruma thoughts about you. I mean I enjoy reading about Zach, and can still take him seriously with all the memeing he does. But I dunno. When you type to me on discord, you're like, totally perfect husbando material. We're in a few Rps together now and I... Wait, what was I typing? Anyway Pantsu, I enjoy our discussions just as much as I enjoy writing stories together. I hope we can continue doing those things moving folward.

[@Warpcircuit] When you first joined, I thought you were trying to look a little too smart. I suspected you were a meme crazy troll who was willing to turn everything upside down for the lulz. And now that you've been with us a bit, I can say I was 80% right about my initial assessment. But it turns out none of that is actually a bad thing. Thomas is a pretty interesting character to watch, and you keep discord  entertaining as well. Honestly, I feel a special connection with you. It's not quite the same as the one I share with Pantsu. I feel like you might be... My Waifu? 

[@Majoras End] You are technically the oldest member of the RP. Long before anyone saw the words “Tower of Carnage,” someone decided to leave a visitor message on my page asking me to GM a Danganronpa RP. I was pretty bitter about my last RP on another forum, but something about how you voiced your interest compelled me to start working on an interest check. I remember being heartbroken when you left the forum days before the first IC went up. I enjoy reading about your characters, but your biggest contribution to the RP was getting me to create it. Thank you.

[@Aewin] I don't think I need to be shy when I say out of everyone, you have contributed the most to the RP. You've been a blackened, you've punned enough to shame lame pun coon, You are not only active on discord, you've taken it upon yourself to manage its chaos. And let's not forget all the cool A S T H E T I C stuff you've done to make the RP look really pretty, from the character headers to the new ToC logo. And you do all this while managing your own hectic life style. You should feel a little proud of yourself, but not too proud. If I had to be critical of one thing, it's that you turned melo into a monster. You can chew him out every once in a while.

So thank you everyone for a year of epic RP memories. Let's see if we can have another. Let's see if we can end the infinite killing game.
