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!

My Soul Campaing Story

[personal profile] blue_wayfinder 2014-08-31 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

SC was the first game where I played my precious perfect prosecutor here seriously. Sure, I did some casual meme-ing and a crack game, but SC was where I put down a reserve after seeing that the game still didn't have an Edgeworth in an era where you couldn't turn around without bumping into an Edgeworth player, where I crammed an app because I really wanted to play him out of sheer fangirl joy, where I stayed for more than 3 years - which is much of my entire RP life. This game stayed with me from my undergrad years all the way till now, my senior year in law school. It's such a huge part of my RP life, and where I learned the most about myself as an RPer, the RP world in general, and about Edgeworth as the character I've been able to hold the longest in any game.

I had so much fun here - I was warmly received by everyone, I had fun coming up with mission summaries and plotting what to do next for missions and invasions and silly things, I had fun just tl;dr-ing about character development and taking Edgeworth's development to so many different places. Not gonna lie, there's a reason why this is the CRAU I most want to work on further beyond SC. I hit some speed bumps along the way, but no one is perfect, and in the end, I'm so happy with how it ended, and how I managed to get as far as having a witch hunt log with Hibi and having Edgeworth forge Genesis into a Death Scythe.

Because I think I can qualify as one of the game's oldsters, I have a long list of fond memories that I'll simply bullet.

- Edgeworth's very first post, where the Hetalias thought he was one of Austria's, Monk side-eyed him for being a lawyer, and he side-eyed everything in general because of magic.
- Edgeworth and Phoenix getting washed out into the desert and learning to resonate - and overusing a Meister ability ends in Edgeworth not being able to talk for a few days.
- The one-sided crush Yoko had on Edgeworth, and Edgeworth missing all the signposts until she left him a confession and he had a major BSOD moment
- The Halloween when the hexed went berserk and hawk!Phoenix clawed the heck out of Edgeworth
- Edgeworth and Roy being chess buddies/men in authority buddies
- Edgeworth and Clovis being cravat buddies
- Edgeworth being referred to as Absolutely Fancy Cravat Guy by Kurt - OVER THE NETWORK
- All my castmate shenanigans - hanging out at the Agency with Franziska and Phoenix, confronting Manfred, crying in front of Gregory, Maya throwing his tea set at a kishin and going vroom-vroom on his motorbike, Mia NOT BEING DEAD and trolling Edgeworth, meeting all dem people from the ~future~, going on a mission with Trucy, giving lawyer!Phoenix a painful lesson in learning how to fight...EVERYTHING
- AGENCY PARTIES
- The Agency getting trashed
- Genesis making Edgeworth do pushups with law books on his back
- ALL THE AGENCY THINGS
- Edgeworth learning how to drive a motorcycle
- SHADOWS!!!
- Franziska and Ludwig visiting Edgeworth in the hospital after his first mission and grilling him about his relationship with Yoko
- POOL PARTY my gosh the pool party
- Edgeworth being a Meister Ability Helper before he retired
- EXCALIBUUUUUHHHH
- Writing out descriptions of resonance
- MAKING A RESONANCE ATTACK OMG
- Azusa training Edgeworth and totally kicking his butt (and I shipped them ahahaha)
- EVERY SINGLE BIT OF MY GORGEOUS CR. EVERYONE I'VE THREADED WITH IS AMAZING. Can I just say this. Actually I treasure each and every moment I've had in SC because it has been my home game for so long.

I played Michelle Cheung (R.O.D the TV) here for a short bit as well and had her on the Watch, and this was the game where I really tried playing her. It was fun, and I would later on take her to other games.

Thank you, everyone. Thank you, mods (past and present). Thank you, game. And SC was the reason why I even watched the Soul Eater anime.

HI GUYS! Remember me? I remember you! I used to play Alois Trancy, Haruka Tenoh, Cinderella and Gilbert Cocteau and Lawrence for a very short time.

Even though I dropped from SC about two years ago. And tbh, I'm kind of speechless. I wasn't in any other game after I had dropped from here and I constantly kept planning on re-apping and coming back to play here, something that I never did then. :/

SC had pretty much everything I wanted from a game, both by premise and playerbase. I have so many good memories from here that I don't even know where to start. Just thank you everyone. I hope you kept having a good run after my leave.

Oh, Soul Campaign, where do I even begin?

I remember how nervous I was when I joined the game back in 2011. I'd never roleplayed before, I didn't know anybody, and I wasn't entirely confident in my writing either. As soon as I was in, everybody instantly made me feel welcome and involved; those early plots and threads were among the most fun times I've ever had, and I met a lot of great people to share the fun with. Special shoutout goes to Belmont for being a fantastic partner and so very patient with me while I was dealing with my own bullshit; it wouldn't have been the same without you. And the rest of you -- Auste, VG, Ami, Lady, everybody -- you were all amazing.

Even with real life getting in the way towards the end, I'm very happy with the character arc Raidou went through and the friends he's made. The game helped me get through some difficult times in my life, too, so from the bottom of my heart -- thank you, all of you.

I wish I'd been around for the endgame more than I was, but mental health is what it is. Anybody want to backtag with me one last time, just say the word.

Thanks for everything, Soul Camapign. Let's meet again in new games!
vintage_magic: (spellcasting | with Lezard)

[personal profile] vintage_magic 2014-08-31 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I joined about 3 years ago, later than a lot of people who’ve already posted but SC was my first journal RP game and still the only game I’ve been in for an extended period of time. I actually stumbled on it completely by accident because I was searching for Saiunkoku stuff and found Orange’s Ryuuren journal. I’d never roleplayed in this this this format before, didn’t even know that people did, and hadn’t seen Soul Eater. But I PMed Orange, noticed a few other characters from obscure fandoms I liked on the taken list at the time, stalked it for a while, and thought it would be fun. And then ended up staying until the end.

My first character here was Shuurei Kou from Saiunkoku Monogatari and looking back, I didn’t completely know what I was doing yet, was super slow at times, and messed up with her in some ways that eventually lead to dropping her. But there were still fun moments. Ryuuren’s terrible flute playing and being yelled at by Leo for it. Her interactions with Roy and Ram when she was a clerk at the Watch. Gai’s scavenger hunt when he needed to borrow her abacus. And her teaching Eve and Keroro how to make dumplings which resulted in the running joke of Keroro’s terrible pork/spinach/chocolate dumplings. Perhaps, it’s best she never found out what he did with the recipe! XD;

Lily Ivory from The Witchcraft Mysteries was next and ended up becoming my main character even though I initially apped her largely because I thought it would be ironic to have a witch with some snake magic. XD;

My favorite CR for her has to be her partnership with Lezard and I'm a bit sad this is probably the last time I'll get a chance to use their icon. I never expected to get such a perfect partner for her in the form of an annoying sorcerer who turned into a spellbook. And to get a ship out of it too since I figured she was way too obscure and too old for most characters to be interested. They bickered so much in the beginning! Lily accidentally throwing a muddy weed in his face the first time they met in person, Lezard being a bit of a pervert the first time they resonated, him entering her in the beauty pageant without permission, only finally agreeing to be his partner so she could keep an eye on him and keep him from causing mischief. But he came to her rescue a few times and she eventually came to tolerate him and worry about him. Like when he ended up with a spear in his stomach trying to protect her! And the Meister/Weapon swap made her trust him more and see things from his side. They even became the first cross-canon Deathscythe pair and got into mischief sneaking around with the new powers. After all they’ve been through and Lily finally telling Lezard she loved him after nearly 2 OOC years, she’ll probably have to barge into his soul again and cry in there. Because she knows she has to go back to her world and witches can’t cry normally. It’s as if the thing about star-crossed lovers in the park from Hyoubu’s Seven Mysteries of Death City actually came true! Even if we’ve been museboxing an AU where they went back to her world together in the end.

She had a lot of fun general CR too. Becoming friends with Eve and Keroro, Ammy always sleeping in her flowerbeds at the park, Yesterday’s Magic things with Kanji and Josuke, accidentally knocking Edgeworth into the pool at the pool party, selling Yamazaki a flapper dress for the summer gala, getting Yuugi and Atem and the Bakuras confused, Ange being the one person she willingly confessed she was a witch to back when she was still paranoid, finding Akiha as a credit card during the Meister/Weapon swap, Kiriha telling her that maybe she was a tsundere, talking with Steve Rogers about vintage things, Gai offering to show her the sights of spring, hearing about Luna’s weird theories, getting fished out of the waterways by Raidou after the earthquake, and probably a lot of stuff I’m forgetting just because she’s had so many threads.

Morgan LeFlay from Tales of Monkey Island came in about a year ago. I enjoyed her interactions with Clopin and it would have been fun if they could have become pals over acrobatics. I also liked her CR with Nanami and Giroro and her silly arguments with Keroro. And thanks to Kyubey for the missions!

My Count D from Petshop of Horrors came in pretty late, only several months ago and just hours before a Witch attack on the city so he had the most memorable intro to Death City out of all my characters. Although I didn’t get to play him that much, I did like his partnership with Rosalia and she reminded him of a child he took care of back home. I wish it hadn’t been so short so they could have done cute things together too!

Thanks to those who played with my characters over the years! I’m planning to put the ones who are still around in the goodbye log later in case anyone still left wants a final thread with them. And feel free to come visit me over at my musebox [community profile] threadbox. (I keep meaning to put up a post for characters coming to visit mine in their home worlds post-game or vice versa!)

Wow. I can't believe we're finally here. SC's closing. This isn't the first game I've stuck with until the end, though. But somehow, I feel as if I've got more feelings about this game ending. Probably because of all the games I've played in, this one really changed things up for me. Aside from the fact that I played Genesis as if without canonmates most of the time, I got to have him interact with such an interestingly diverse array of characters from super-smart detectives, to crazy samurai, to warfreak women, to ghosts, to even prosecutors and lawyers.

I'll treasure them all, really. And I'm glad that you guys seemed to have enjoyed my company all these years even though I will admit that I was such a brat back in the day. Thank you for sticking with me as I grew up XD This game has really been a surprisingly big part of my life. I believe I started playing here when I first entered the working world, and then it stuck with me to when I became middle management, to when I became a freelancer, and now to when I've found myself in a completely different country doing completely different work. I'm going to miss watching out for SC posts in my inbox and plotting what to do for each mission.

While I've played Genesis the whole time here, I also played Leon Orcot, Bayonetta, and Karina Lyle here. Although the other three characters weren't as enduring as Genesis, I got a bunch of memories playing them against you guys.

For everyone who has played with me and had their character become a part of any of my characters' lives, thank you very much. You know who you are. Even if we've drifted apart or anything like that. Whether from the Watch, the Agency, or just some random passerby exposed to Bayonetta's flirting, Leon's potty mouth, Karina's singing, or Genesis' recitings, I thank you for being part of the great experience I had at SC.

But I suppose the biggest thank yous go to Kae, for giving Genesis that very important first push into working with characters outside his canon; Devil, for being my dearest RP friend through all the years we've been in the game together; and Auste, for being such an awesome coincidental RP partner ♥ Who knew that a frilly lawyer and a hot-blooded SOLDIER could actually work so well? I don't think I can imagine the time I spent in SC without you guys.

And to all the mods, past and present, thank you so much for doing all your best for this game. You are all fantastic.

So, hope to get to see you again, folks of SC C:

I didn't actually get to do a whole lot in Soul_Campaign for my year here as the sunny soccer boy Amemiya Taiyou, being busy with school and whatnot, but it was tons of fun and such a diverse, wonderful cast. Neat systems, great plot and everything. I really only wish I could've done more, but as we all have regrets, I'll just smile on and congratulate everyone who's stuck on through with the game as a story well finished!

--Also, partnering up my boy with a certain other Inazuma at S_C gave birth to one of my hideous otp's and the feelings are still strong. Oops.

Orange, seeing your own plurks about it steadily drawing to a close made me so emotional too. I really have good memories of this place, however brief. I hope I'll catch some of you wonderful RPers over at other places! O/

Soul Campaign was awesoooome! Much love, Eli

goddamn, what do you say to a game that's been in and out of your life for like five years. lexi here, and SC was such a new experience for me at my time of joining. i joined without knowing bananas about Soul Eater, and literally half the reason had been because at the time it was one of the few games that didn't have a Naruto or a Sasuke on it's roster, and lena and i intended to app together.

i had a number of other characters i brought through this city (Kyo, Choushiro, Zeus) but Sasuke was always my forever girl. i had SUCH AMAZING CR with people who played here, and really it was half the reason i think playing Sasuke was so much fun. RP is a two way street and you guys really made playing him such a joy. i was gone for a few years, and i'm sad that i didn't get more CR with you lovely people that i didn't have a chance to meet and play with when i was really in my heyday here, but i'm so glad you guys DID play here and had the chance to enjoy a game that honestly made me so happy.

i don't think i can even begin to number off everything i enjoyed. i think one of the very top highlights has to be one of the VERY first events i was part of, which was the Nocturne Bazaar. i had a hilarious thread with Naruto wherein Naruto ended up stuck on the Loveboat ride for like 24 hours or something. ahhhh priceless.

and you know, i was actually going to go through and try and find everything i loved but literally everything i did here was amazing. from The Watch, to Morning Training, to all the events (the Maldives trip! the vector tails! TEN YEARS LATER ANYONE???), to freaking Excalibur—

i am going to miss this game and you guys very much. i can only hope that we cross RP paths again in the future ;;

if anyone wants to stay in contact (and i don't already have you on my plurk) then PLEASE drop me a line so i can add your butts.

AND ONE LAST THING— SHOUT OUT TO THE MODS FOR MAKING THIS HAPPEN. thank you for making this game and for taking it over to keep it running and for hanging in to the bitter end to give us closure. thank you.

I random icon'd to this MANLY TEARS one and I feel it's 1000% appropriate

I'll try and keep this pretty short and sweet because I'm lousy at putting my reminiscing into words but oh dang do I ever love this game and everything that happened in it. Coming here felt very much like finding a new home game, and I didn't really have one of those for a long time! In a couple months it would have been my two year mark here, so I wasn't really in for as long as a lot of you wonderful folks were, but I felt everyone was always really welcoming and friendly to me, so thank you for all the good times!!

The premise was surprisingly fun, I wasn't wholly sure what I would be getting myself in to (I'd only read part of Soul Eater before joining up a few years prior), but I'm glad I stuck with with it long enough to settle in and hit my stride. It became comfortable and familiar thanks to all the great characters and players that were here, and I'm super grateful to everyone who I got to play with for making that happen for me. It's sad seeing the game wrap up, but everyone involved did such a wonderful job of tying the game up cleanly and satisfyingly. Thank you, mods, and everyone who contributed! You guys are A+ fantastic people.

I'm going to miss a lot of the really wonderful CR here, but if anyone wants to keep in touch, send me a PM! Or add me on Plurk! I'm over at [plurk.com profile] sandshrew for anyone who doesn't already have me there!

Everyone's saying a lot of what's being said so...

Thank you, Soul Campaign, for giving me a lot of amazing CR. From Alucard learning to trust people and courting his partner to Auron damn near becoming everyone's adopted dad for a group of teenangers.

Thank you.

I haven't played in SC in a long time, but I had two awesome years here and Soul Campaign was the first game I fell in love with and really thought of as home. I I had so much unforgettable crosscano, I made a ton of amazing friends, and of course I can't forget that this is where I met Em.

I just wanted to stop by, thank all of you, reminisce a little about shit like Watch leader keychains and how fucking many of you Karkat tried to convince to jump down the stairs, and say how much I'm gonna miss Death City and stalking all the silliness that went on here.

Oh man wow. I don't know if anyone will remember me but this is Laena and I played Kid and helped with the NPC squad for about a year before I had to leave. But it was so much fun because SC had always been a game I wanted to play in with Kid and lo, I got the chance!

I definitely had a great time here and being able to help develop Kid ICly as more than an NPC was really fun. SC will always hold a special place in my heart because of it.

So even though I wasn't around for endgame, I still wanted to say thanks.

stay symmetrical

Shiiitt man, it's been way too long. This was probably the longest game I've ever been in, before or since, and it was a great couple years.

I have way too many memories to even begin listing them, everything from Lain revealing everyone's secrets or starting the GREAT SHINOBI SNOWBALL WAR to Rei's "will they or won't they" thing with Justin and her army of adopted children. I loved the development I was able to pursue for both these characters and look back on the ways they grew and ughkf

Remember the time I played FLuttershy and Gamzee taught her to say "motherfucker" every other word BECAUSE I DO.

It's been a blast, you guys. I go back and re-read threads and meme stuff every once in a while and just sit consumed in feelings for the rest of the day.

It was great, you guys were all great and I love y'all. GROUP HUGS FOR EVERYONE.

It's been forever, Soul Campaign, but I have more awesome memories than I can track down and link, more CR that was a blast than I can name... but I can at least try on the latter. Watson, Edgeworth, Auron, Lily, our great rotating NPCs, the frogs, Roy, a rather large chunk of homestucks (but especially Karkat,) you guys were fantastic.

The game had a good run, and I'm glad it ended well.
