This is goodbye

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)

This gaaaaaaame will always hold a special place in my heart. :3 It's where I really got to play Rock Lee for a substantial amount of time (even though I kinda petered out a bit near the end, sorry sorry all!) and it was just a really fun experience overall. Thanks mods, and everyone else, for making this so fun to be in. Soul Eater is a really great universe and it made for a spectacular game!

As for fond memories, I do have a cute log that kinda reminded me of good times with Obito! When he went for cake with Keroro at the Condesce's cake stand and of course, there was also the first log Obito was in when he came in injured (warning for LJ awfulness). Obito was my first character here, and I do miss those time!

Lee's first comm post brings back memories of characters long gone... Temeraire and Hughes and all our Homesucks and Narutos from back in the day. And who can forget the BARE YOUR CHESTS MANLINESS CONTEST???

Man, what a blast! Can't say I have any current plans to continue rp after this game but who knows what the future may hold! ;u; I'll miss you all, and again, thanks for a great ride!

Guess I'll start, haha.

So. SC was my second LJ/DW game. The first was an AU game and at first I thought, nah, why would I want to play in an OU game??? Then I did because a friend recommended and I apped Aqua and never left.

Aqua is my longest running character here, the second longest is Eve, I think? I apped Ran Ryuuren from Saiunkoku Monogatari, who was, sadly, dropped after a while (alas). Then I apped a frog who is still here, then I apped Count Waltz who was eventually dropped and replaced with Hyoubu Kyousuke.

I think something that's hilarious for me is how Aqua was kissed three times in as many months. I didn't really expect that and she made some amazing friendships and even fell in love and had her heart broken! I'd link you except all my bookmarks died with my last computer. A lot of her original CR is gone now, but I remember them all ver fondly.

The most surprising was probably her friendship with Mitsunari from Sengoku Basara, especially when the mun and I had been aiming for negative CR and got a sort of friendship instead. It was awesome.

I will miss the fact that she can shoot a gun and drive a motorcycle in this game. You have no idea...

And there's the fact that Aqua is the first character I played who had a cast! Though they've all since moved on, it was an amazing experience!

And, of course, there's the fact that she worked the night shift in the Red Light District (Shift 3, Watch patrol)...and then she became a Zone Leader and had a keychain of her made. Haha, she's...still not sure how she feels about that last part.

Eve and Keroro's partnership is the cutest and I will fight anyone who says otherwise. I feel like she learned a lot from everyone she met (even if some of it was more or less useless) and it's interesting watching her learn to think in different ways...though what she learned from Keroro was mostly how to cheat people out of their money. (I'm so sorry, Sven.)

I think one of my favourite things was the whole Chara Misfortune Keychain thing and how everyone kept blaming Keroro for it when she had been his partner-in-crime and not some poor child he was being a bad influence on (she was even the one who asked Roy Mustang to come on opening day so they could use him as free advertising. That wasn't Keroro. That was all her. Even Keroro had been surprised she did it.)

And their friendship with Lily was really cute too!

...aaaaah, and everyone who ever worked at Metokkori R/Hikan Cafe. Those are all interactions I had a lot of fun with! And, of course, when I mention the Hikan Cafe, I can't forget Bakura who got into a lot of shenanigans with Keroro. Then there was Ling who had a spagetti snorting contest that Eve never heard about but saw the evidence of. And Eve's big, mean and ugly cat Da Vinci who bullies Keroro all the time. I will miss that stupid thing.

Giroro...oh, god. Where do I start? Soul Campaign is amazing for Keroro Gunsou characters because I could do everything from being badass and doing filed surgery and removing Madness inducing chips to food fights (Hughes threw breadsticks at Giroro. I mean, how awesome is that?) and shooting Keroro's employees with a paintball gun. I even got to put him in a wig and suit. And a princess kimono. Twice

Hyoubu was fun to play here for the same reason. I got to play out his stupid "I wear middle school uniform" side and also his "I don't give a shit if all Normals die also here, let me stir the pot a little and see what happens" as well as got to see him have a soft spot for certain people.

His interactions with Sai and Yako were very cute. And I really liked his dynamic with Steve Rogers (both WWII veterans...so two fossils, basically. ;3 ) Also, he got to break into the Watch Headquarters and always refers to Neji as the young commander of the Wathc (with emphasis on the young part). Also, the Seven Wonders of Death City. That was awesome and I only wish I'd been able to troll the network more then he did.

Waltz and Ryuuren were fun too, even though they weren't here long. I had a lot of fun being a giant asshole to everyone as Waltz and I'm sure none of Ryuuren's neighbours remembers his flute playing fondly. Also, I had met Lady through playing him, so there's that too.

Oh, man. Keroro, Eve and Obito's friendship was so great. ;w;

Yessss it wasssss soooooo cute!! ;u; I miss it!

eve and keroro continue to be the cutest to me too ♥ EVEN THOUGH I ONLY STALKED they were so adorable

I met some of the best people I still talk to online through this game. In the middle of chaos, I knew I still had a place to come and escape while I was struggling with a new school, depression, pushing away from an abusive home, finding my own place and acceptance in a sorority, and a bunch of other bad shit. In the end, that bad shit was why I failed in my last months here.

I regret that I couldn't keep it all together and stay, but I couldn't. I wish I still had the game last year. I wish I'd been able to come home to SC, instead of making some of the choices I ended up making instead. Even so, I kept reading old threads-- every last one. I wrote small fics to keep what I had here alive, for myself, when I had nothing else to really hold on to.

I want to thank every person in this game that I had the opportunity to thread with: Kae, Celi, Yukeh, Lyn, Tara, and so, so many more. You all made this game the safest and happiest place for me for over two years, and I miss all of you so badly, even now, that it hurts.

I had some rough patches in this game, and my time ended on a somewhat sour note, but SC has never stopped being the best game I ever had the privilege to participate and mod in. I let my personal issues interfere with my time here, and I wanted to apologize to everyone who I hurt, offended, or upset. If it was intentional or not, I was not in the best place in my life, and I was having a lot of issues, and I shouldn't have let that come into the safe space of this game. I know a fair number of people still dislike me, and that's okay. I had it coming. I hope, maybe, someday we can meet again, and get to know the people we've all become over the years, especially now that I've been able to find some help and have been working on the problems I have.

I wish I could go back and do every last bit of this game over again, with more time and energy and effort, and without all the bullshit I had going on, so I could have more time to enjoy it without the interference. Thank you all for being a family for me, for being my friends, pretending to like me, threading with me. It means a lot. It meant a lot.

This is really TL;DR and awkward, but I'm crying like a bitch, so yeah. Snotty post with vague memories. I guess I should include the RP part of this in here, too.

The flat chest post will go down in history as one of the most epic crack threads in any game. ever.

Mukuro and Rhode were the most adorable crazy motherfucker CR I have ever had the pleasure of being apart of. Sorry, not sorry.

Dysfunctional troll family times with Kuroro, Kurapika, Mukuro, and Rhode were also generally adorable and horrible.

Joshua was the best friend a girl who hates humans could possibly find.

Not entirely RP, but god, I totally ended up giving the cat I brought home from China to (one of?) our Stein player(s), and though I haven't heard from her in... well. Since. That was totally a thing that happened. I'm a crazy cat lady, jesus.

Maid cafe shenanigans were pretty cute, no lie. Rhode's a tsundere little shit, but ugh, such cute CR.

I can think of more, but I have snotted all over my keyboard crying like a total disgrace, and I don't want to drag this out and be more awkward than it already has been. ~~This is why you buy the waterproof mascara, kids.~~ So, uh. I'm going to go drink some tea and compose myself.

I loved being here. You are all wonderful. Thank you for helping me through some dark times. And I'm sorry that I couldn't have done better for you.

DO YOU REMEMBER HOW WE ALL GOT PLURKS TO KEEP TRACK OF EACH OTHER, BECAUSE I DO ;u;/ Soul Campaign you trendsetter you.

Some things I remember from my amazing two years in the game with Jade, Sandry, Adah, and various other include: that time all the trolls attempted to claim each and every soul in SC that had a birthday under their zodiac sign. And everyone kept telling all of the Aquariuses that they were so sorry. Cry.

GAMZEE'S SERIAL STABBING SPREE was another one -- stretching over a whole lot of canons and casts I thought it was simply the best way to reveal a really nice character was secretly very disturbed. Soul Campaign was always a haven for the villains, until they wanted to become villains, and I always thought that was the neatest part of it. ♥ You go SC, for letting villains be themselves.

Matching partner icons, too. ;u; Seeing what the mods picked for each pair was always so much fun, and finding out which characters were going to explain that they became partners was exciting and awesome! Morning training was another highlight of my time (though I don't have any specific links), and I loved how much cross-canon CR Soul Campaign really encouraged.

The city-wide Excalibur challenges from back in 2011/2012ish were also amazing -- Gai sitting in Monk's closet and politely refusing to come out, people rolling everywhere they went, clucking like chickens...the list goes on. Excalibur is the best NPC, of course. You fool.

TO MY PARTNERS PAST, both Minato for Adah and Yosuke and Train for Jade...thank you so so much for being amazing and welcoming and hilarious! I can honestly say that Minato and Adah was the first set of characters I became super invested in, and I loved that even though she was terribly different, he managed to understand (sort of) what she was thinking most of the time. AND YOSUKE AND JADE AHHH what cuties. Total cuties. Getting Yosuke a puppy for Christmas because she thought he might like a puppy. What a terrible idea, who put Jade Harley in charge of christmas gifts! TRAIN AND JADE WERE JUST TOO MUCH ATTITUDE she was so determined to make their partnership work because guns guns guns and they were the weirdest partners. But I still loved them.

ALSO A SHOUTOUT TO MY HOMESTUCK CAST for being absolutely fantastic. I was so happy that we wanted to accommodate everyone we possibly could with our terrible colors, and maintaining the HS Cast Permissions was one of the highlights of me playing here. I loved how we all came together that one December in a big LJ post and went "okay, let's not intro all at the same time right? we know a lot of people are scared our cast is so big, we don't want to be a clique, we want to be cool" and then we were the coolest ever. I am so happy to have met all of you and played with you, and I know a lot of you are still on my plurk and that some of you I have drifted away from since 2012, but you are all very dear to me as my first homestuck cast. John, Jade, Rose and Dave still live together in their cute apartment with hand-painted walls in my heart. ;u; ♥

Anyway, I loved this game even though I haven't been in it for a long time. And I am sad to see it go!

Oh my god I was so worried for that cat :( I AM SO HAPPY YOU BROUGHT IT HOME FROM CHINA

I FORGOT

THE SKYPES

They were the best. I miss the Skypes. And watching our kawaii Scarecrow player Doc play her ukelele for us. ;A;

He was the derpiest cat and I was so crazy for that... fiasco. But it was worth it.

Four years later I have rescued two more cats from the shelter/craigslist and they live with me in my condo. :'D And I'm starting to volunteer again at a rescue in the next few months, once I find a no-kill organization within a 30 minute drive.

THEY WERE. Also, remember when Jade and Aqua ended up on the shipping wall together? Fun times.

This was still one of the best moments in Soul Campaign and reflected the community in one of the best ways if you ask me.

I'LL HAVE A TL;DR POST EVENTUALLY BUT JUST SO YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU.

CATS EVERYWHERE so many cats \o/ I am super allergic so I'm jealous of your cat hoarding, hoard more for me

YES I DO REMEMBER THAT ahhhh //// so embarrassing and hilarious. I finally played KH:BBS for the first time this year, and your Aqua was always so on point. I never realized it until I actually played it, but you were amazing.

HAHAHA FUNNY STORY

I started being seen by National Jewish for all my respiratory shit

I'm very allergic to cats

but oh well, fuck it, already in too deep, just have to buy an air purifier and wash the sheets more often

DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN ADAH WROTE NOTES TO THE SUN

OH NO THAT'S THE WORST ;o; love them forever though!! And have a lot of hand washing!

So, I've mentioned it already, but it begs repeating: thank you for the time you put into the game. Maybe you weren't a perfect mod, but I don't think anyone is.

For what it's worth, Rhode was one of the draws when I was considering this game. If we cross paths in RP again, I hope I'll get to thread with you again. <3

as my friend said when i posted the news, "oh, of course you're allergic to them. you love them. that's how that always works.' 100% accurate....

;A; Thank you for playing with me.

uaslkfj how do you respond when someone says that? I think emily post says keysmash and uuwuuus. aalskjdfghj.

I am finally. finally. finally starting to rp again. I kind of dropped off the map last year, due to this... insane series of Things involving poly relationship of dubious consent and cancer and surgeries, and depression, etc. but now I'm trying to get back on the wagon. I would love to play with you again someday, if all of my bricks get into a row, wherever the DWverse may take us. ♥

fucking excalibur

Hhhhh I had totally forgotten that. matching icons was my favorite part of being a list mod, for the short time that I did it. KAWAII. MATCHY. MATCHY. THINGS.

FOOL! I hear the sound of my name being used.

[Tap tap.]

Did you consult with my lawyer?

[Point.]

FOOL! I am my own lawyer.

No one else is awesome enough.

They were such cute roomates. ;u;

It was absolutely perfect. ;u;

I'm never not glad to heard people playing BBS. It's such a fun game! And thank you for your kind words! <3
