You Are All Awesome

You, the SARPer reading this right now, are awesome.

Tonight in the chatroom people were talking about their various real-life challenges and it really touched me how we have such a diverse group of really unique members. We've got guys, girls, people somewhere between...we've got people with mental conditions, medical conditions, addictions, financial hardship, abuse victims, and more. These people are people you roleplay with every day here on the forums and they're a lot like you. We are all here because we share a common bond of imagination. We're all a little geeky. We all have stuff in our lives we wish we could change or stuff that troubles us, and Star Army helps us escape that stuff when we want.

So I only ask that you be sensitive to your fellow members. We're in this together and nobody wants to be teased over something that's probably not under their control, so just don't. In general people are respectful in the community so this message isn't a warning or complaint, instead it's praise - keep being good to each other, work together, and keep making new friends!

It's almost summer now and I'm reminded about my start with online roleplay ten years ago in the summer of 2000, and followed by the creation of Yui and the PNUgen RP, which was followed by the Star Army community. We didn't get the Star Army domain until 2003. Ever since then we've grown in membership and quality, thanks to great GMs and faithful players. I am touched by the caliber of people on this site and immensely thankful to all of your for support. Not everyone has what it takes to be a SARPer. I have kept my hand on the wheel of Star Army, guiding it as it expanded, but it's been a long time since Star Army was just mine. Star Army is yours too.

So, to you, SARPers, I want you to know that I love you guys and that every day I'm thankful for all the effort you put into writing and designing and communicating and all the things that come with maintaining a great roleplay. You are all so unique and you all so awesome.

Thanks for listening to my rambling and I hope you take it to heart.
 
I like the idea. It would be a while before I could, but I'd definitely buy some of them once I had the money to spare.
 
Why couldn't we try to get a few actually pulished though? Like with the larger ships I mean. It's all nice to be able to put them into ebook format but do that many people prefer ebooks to plain old paperback and hardback?
 
If we do it in e-book format, it's easily converted for printing. This way, we could print what we need, rather then printing stuff that never gets sold.
 
Exactly. That's why I suggested print on demand. Also, the RPG book industry is REALLY difficult to get into right now.
 
Hey, thanks Wes! I know this was posted forever ago (duh, lol) but it still means a lot to hear that you're grateful for soemthing that you give so much to! I'd like to thank you! And I hope thisNecromancy event boosts SARP in some way, too, because SARP deserves it!
