This is goodbye

[soul_mods]

And with the endgame log up, the curtains officially close on Soul Campaign.

I'm not sure how many of you will see this, but I just wanted to take a moment as SC's last headmod to thank everyone who ever played in this game. Without you, this game would not have been here. So, on behalf of every mod who has ever modded in this game: thank you.

I also wanted to take a moment to thank all previous mods, however long or short their tenure was. Thank you for holding down the fort all that time.

And a big THANK YOU to my co-mods who are amazing people and whom I sometimes wonder wouldn't have done better with a more experienced head mod, haha. All the same: thank you for all your patience.

I wasn't here from the start, but I'm glad I could at least have been here for the end. There are a lot of things I felt I could have done better and I still wonder if a more experienced headmod couldn't have turned this game around. But you all put up with me so: thank you for that.

With that out of the way, if any current or former players have any memories of SC that really stand out, feel free to share them here! Let's end this on a happier note, guys. :3


Sincerely Yours,

Orange (the Supreme Demon Overlord)

That sounds about like the right sort of response! XD (It's probably how I would have responded in your situation, haha.)

It's good that things are calming down on your end. It sounds like awful things to have to deal with. I'm sure our paths will cross again one day! ;3

Wow.

I don't have the proper words to express how much this game means to me. This is gonna be a mess so bear with me.

I joined this game on a whim back when it was first opening. I hadn't the foggiest idea about Soul Eater it just really looked neat I guess. ANYWAY. I had no idea that this place would become my home.

It gave me so much. It gave me a safe place to be myself, it gave me friends that I wouldn't trade for the world, it gave me the confidence I needed to be a good roleplayer. we had tears and laughs and really fucking ridiculous NPCs.

I haven't been in this game in years, but I can still remember some of my favorite threads. Threads like Winry One Hit KOing Prussia for tackling Canada in his hospital bed. Or that time we had the Bloodiest Soccer Match ever. Or the shadow event.

It also warms the hell out of me to see how well and how far this game carried on, even after I stepped down from being a mod. That it has passed through so many caring hands. This is a great game. It will always be a great game. I will always remember this as one of my best experiences in role play.

So. Thank you for that. Thank you so much.

OMG. Excalibur.

True fact: when I play Excalibur I do it while looking at your example.

Also, thank you for everything you did with and for the game, Celi. I wouldn't be here as a mod if it weren't for you because I couldn't very well be a mod of nothing...

[blue_wayfinder]

So, I would really have loved to thank all previous mods by name, but I really only knew Yukeh, Celi and Ozzy from when I apped in and everyone else who was mod afterwards.

But, thank you for all the time and effort you put in.

Also, I should maybe apologize because the Keroro-mun and I set 'making the Hikan Cafe more famous and recommended than Northern Lights' one of our RP goals. Oops? WE SORT OF MADE YOU OUR RIVAL EVEN AFTER YOU WERE GONE.

This was before I was a mod, though. So it was all done fairly and ICly.

[oblivious_klutz]

Aw gosh. I know it's been...a while but gosh I did love this game while I was here with Colette, Raenef and I think I had Lacus and Hiruko around more briefly.

I loved all the cr I gathered, and how many tags Raenef got when he and Hiruko were really more obscure characters. I loved Colette's partnership with Shishito. I loved Lacus' attempt at one with Sakura. Raenef and his brief time with a cast even. The events were awesome and I just. Really, really loved my time here guys. So even if I wasn't here during the full run, thanks to all of you. Players and mods.

[ornithophobic]

I'll keep this short and sweet.

SC was my first "real game" I joined back in 2009 shortly after being introduced to journal RP.

For five years, in every other game I've been in following that, without fail I've found myself comparing each and every one to my time at SC.

So I have to thank everyone I played with in the three years I spent here for the wonderful experiences (getting to run my first villain event... And subsequently getting addicted to villain events...) but I probably have to hate you all too. You ruined me! I'll never enjoy another game and its players the way I enjoyed Soul Campaign. I guess there's no helping it.

My only regret is that I wasn't able to make it a full five years instead of three. I hope others felt the same way about this game as I did. :)

Hahah, I think I'm going to be crying before this is done but Soul Campaign was my second LJ game and my first DW game, and I had so much fun here and met so many great people. Even now, I'm trying to find a game that lives up to how welcoming and wonderful this place is and always has been. I'm really glad this was my home game and I will miss it terribly.

This was the very first place I had ever played Keroro, and I couldn't have asked for a better place to play, and I always enjoyed his CR even when he was just being silly, asking for Char Aznable, semi-illegally making keychains in people's likenesses, or building to-scale models of mobile suits out of Lego. His beloved shops that he somehow managed to inherit through a series of coincidences and to turn into a Really Big Thing with no little amount of support from everyone like Gai, Itou, Hughes, Saya, Roy (albeit veeery reluctantly), Bakura, Tomoe, Kanji and of course, his forever partner: Eve. Even thinking about closing up Metokkori R and the Hikan Cafe for the very last time makes me really sad.

Of course besides Keroro I also briefly played tsun-as-hell Shirogane and out-to-get-you-all Sai and I enjoyed their CR a lot too, although I wasn't able to stick with them till the end. But I loved all of Sai's CR, especially with Yako, and Takuto. I only wished I had been more pro-active with him and got more done!

And now some links so this isn't all just sad things:
Neji accidentally becoming an extremely common keychain. Actually, just the whole keychain thing in general. Keroro was rolling in money thanks to this. Roy also owes him a camera.

Sorry for the LJ terribleness, but this continues to be one of my favourite things ever.

Thanks for the three years, SC. You'll always remain in my heart.

[blue_wayfinder]

Ah, I know that feeling of comparing every other game to SC.

Once again, thank you for being a mod and for keeping the game afloat even when it was only you and Ami! It couldn't have been easy, but I definitely appreciate what you both did.

Also, Eridan and Kerrigan were the best partners.

[blue_wayfinder]

I didn't get to play with Raenef, but I really loved stalking his threads.

ALSO, when Aqua taught Collete to make a Wayfinder. That was so cute. Their CR was just cute in general, really. ;w;

[blue_wayfinder]

...I like how when Roy liked the idea it was, 'Eve and Keroro's little project'. But when he doesn't like it suddenly Keroro's the one at fault. XD

[thewarisover]

Late to this, but.

First off, I am really, really happy that this DWRP, in particular, managed to end well, and close off wonderfully. I do regret not being able to jump in, re-app with my folks and join in the fun. Soul Campaign will always hold a special place in my heart because I spent some of my best LJ/DWRP years in it.

As I said on my plurk, I firmly believe that SC made me a better player both for tabletop and for online roleplay, and it also made me - in some ways - a much better person. I've met some great people here, and friends that I believe are for keeps.

WHILE I LOVE YOU ALL I REALLY REALLY DO special mentions go to some players who are both still here and those who have already left: Yukeh, Lyn, Dev, Ashley, Auste, Pris, Ari, FM, Orange, Celi, Lexi, Lena, Fae, KB, Kimi, Geoff. I'd also like to send my love to all of the people ever who had CR with me, especially them crazy fuckers who decided to help me out with the Watch.

Thanks, and thanks again! Know that I'm always just a plurk away. owo

[ornithophobic]

I just there was more of me I could have given, haha! At least we kept it going long enough for better mods to take my place. ;) Thanks for everything YOU'VE done!

(And yeah! Best mom-not-mom. Being a fricking sniper rifle also helped. I mean really, it was mostly about the sniper rifle BUT HEY.)

[blue_wayfinder]

I can't even imagine how you managed to run the Watch, Kae. I probably would have NOPED out right at the get go...

Anyway, thank you for every thread we did! And thank you for playing out my first RP ship with me and making it amazing and cute and, well, just a really positive experience. Also, thank you for putting up with Keroro and Eve's shenanigans as well! XD

[thewarisover]

Huhu Aqua and Takasugi. ;w; My feelings.

[thewarisover]

/loves on forever

/would do it with the Mukuro account except she is lazy to log into it

;w;

[thewarisover]

Crey

Those were some damned good times in SC for all of us, eh?

[thewarisover]

Thanks as well! You were amazing to play with when we were both in the game. o3o

[thewarisover]

"Albeit veeery reluctantly".

Y e p






Seriously, though, every interaction we had was gold.

[delivering]

YO DIFFERENT JOURNAL ON DREAMWIDTH but yeah this is Steph, used to play most recognizably Taro Namatame and Naomi Kimishima in this game with shorter stints as Emil Castagnier and Dad Egbert.

I haven't played here for a while, but Soul Campaign was one of the best times I ever had in RP and even today I'll swear up and down that playing Namatame here is still one of the best things I've ever done. This is a personal thing, but even four years later I'm still laughing over the fact that I apped Namatame in on the very heels of the Adachi drama by pure coincidence and not only was he better received than I thought another P4 antagonist might be, but I got some beautiful and unexpected character growth out of it all and I took Namatame places I never even dreamed I would. I can't play the character again anymore partially because I can't match up to what I did in this game (also P4 Golden happened, but whatever).

I miss a lot of things in this game. Interactions with pedo sun and voyeur moon on day change posts, all the Excalibur spam, occasional chartmaking (and a gender category just for Crona), Prussia and Naomi and HEY NURSE, the one actually successful Emil Castagnier courage speech, laughing my head off at characters and casts I knew nothing about Gintama, giant Watch posts, clinic logs, matching partner icons, NPC shenanigans...I don't think I've felt I had a home game proper since Soul Campaign, because while I've liked a lot of my games since none of them felt as much like home as this one did.

So, yeah. Thank you, Soul Campaign. Thank you, all the mods who've supported the game and kept it going at one point or another, and thank you to the players before and during and after my time in this game. I'll always remember this game fondly, and I hope everyone has a blast with the rest of endgame.

[blue_wayfinder]

They were the cutest thing ever. ;w; I swear, more than half the threads involving Aqua that I had bookmarked were shippy threads.

AND I REMEMBER TAGGING THAT GOODBYE MEME WHILE I WAS IN HONG KONG. And everyone was looking at me funny when I was making sad faces at my tablet.

[thewarisover]

SOMETIMES I LOOK BACK TO IT AND WONDER HOW I DID IT TOO???? I wish I had an answer for you there. :'D

You're an amazing player and a great friend and stuff okey. u_u

[thewarisover]

/DOGPILES ON YOU

I miss you do I still have you on my plurk because we had so much fun okay and you're awesome.

T_T

[blue_wayfinder]

IT'S A MYSTERY.

Thank you. Same to you! (Also I'm sorry but not sorry that Eve basically dragged Roy in to use a free advertising. It was for a good cause!)

[blue_wayfinder]

I'm not so sure of the better part, lol. But yeah, modding takes up a lot of time even with a full team. I probably would have screamed if it were just me and one other person.

(So everything else was just a bonus? XD )

[starfruitfrog]

Oh gosh, I loved every interaction that they had. One of the main reasons Keroro is still in the Watch to this day is Roy, actually. And his set of keychains (with Roy as the figurehead) will definitely remain a focal point at the Metokkori R, even if Keroro is no longer there.
