... cuz this shit is dead.
Okay so, I'm not gonna be all professional. I'm not gonna put on my e-suit jacket and try to sound like I have a stick up my ass. I'm gonna talk to you guys from the heart.
Let's be real. Results are nearly a week late. I had to beg for matches to be taken because 75% of our staff is either unmotivated or too busy to do much. The majority of said matches taken were summarized. The Main Event of the PPV was... fucking... summarized. But that said, I truly thank everyone who heard my begging and stepped up. Mr R. PJ. Jon. Owen. Max. Seth. And the people who originally took matches as well. Despite said summaries, we felt it was better to have SOMETHING rather than NOTHING. And so that's how it went...
This has been a downward spiral for a long time now. I'm sure you all have noticed. The lateness. The lack of motivation. And perhaps even if you haven't seen it, many of us HAVE.
We created VoW for the sole purpose of being different; hell, being better. Fully written results, realistic styling, a respect for members and characters alike... and so much more. And yet here we stand, on a knee at this point... trying to continue to breathe despite both lungs being punctured. And I don't want to see the fed continue to diminish. None of us do...
I know... I fucking get it. It's shitty. It's a horrible thing to do. And it's even more horrible to spring it upon you. But we can't keep up this charade and we want to keep the integrity of what we've always stood for. We want to end on a fucking high note. And thus, the decision has been made...
VoW will be shutting it's doors, officially, November 12th.
Most of you already know this. For those not on Skype, here's the nitty gritty-- we decided this last minute, as soon as results were late yet again and I was still missing half the matches on the PPV card. It was as sudden to us as it is to you. A split second decision that, to be quite honest? Has been on our minds for quite some time. I do regret not communicating more with our members. But what's done is done. And the majority of you who know either understand or, in some form, have accepted it. And I'm so... SO grateful that we have such an understanding, caring community.
So here's the tear-jerker.
Call me sappy all you want. Tell me it's been said before. I don't care. Because this is the flat out fucking truth people. We are a family. Our community is not based around efedding. Yes, that's what brought us together... but don't you ever think that that's the only thing that kept us so close-knit. We've had normal conversations, deeper conversations, venting and emotional talks... we've watched WWE together, played games... all of these things usually not pertaining to efedding! And we usually try to bring newer people into our group. Having started with the small handful of we the staff, Seth, Mr R, PJ, English, Ty, and it keeps going, adding more and more. Even one of our newer-ish people in Nettlez we've welcomed with open arms.
Do we irritate each other? Hell yes. Do we argue? Obviously. Do we all wanna kill PJ? Not even a question. All qualities of a fucked up lil family.
The point of me saying this? Because our community, at least those who are legitimately a part of it... will STAY in the community. The chats aren't closing. We're not destroying everything and forgetting what matters. We. Are. Still. Here. Because quite frankly? Some of us have fucked up lives. Some of us have social anxiety. Some of us just need some goddamn entertainment. And some of us have nowhere else to turn. And I know I'm not just speaking for myself when I say that this community has been there for each other through some really dark times.
And I really care about you assholes.
Like... more than I should care about people over the internet, y'know? I worry about you guys. I wanna be there when I can. I want Frankie to eat healthier. I was Seth to calm down or his blood pressure will kill him one day. I want Ace to bring pepper spray on the bus. I want you guys happy and safe, even if I come off as an over-opinionated bitch sometimes... I don't want to lose you guys.
Some of you may leave... and I understand. It's saddening... but it is what it is. But I've already assured people that we'll still be here. The community, I mean. The fed may be ending but our relationship is not. I refuse to walk away from people who have been there for me more than my own fucking family.
So I won't. And I know others won't. But emotional BS aside, let's talk fed stuff real fast...
The plan is... now that this shit show is behind us... we will be having two more events. One will be a Halloween show. Consider it a themed event mostly for fun. It will be very segment heavy (every handler being allowed 3 each) with some randomly set matches. If you wanna get with someone for a segment and have an impromptu match, that's fine. Just let us know ahead of time. Otherwise... just enjoy yourself! Do some stupid Halloween stuff. Get as weird or as creepy as you want. Consider it, OOC, a way to lighten the mood. And IC is a similar reason... but it also gives you a chance to build for our final event.
Darkest Hour is being moved up to our last PPV. The idea is... light hearted, less serious event for Halloween... and then a far more serious final event. You're being given the option to get with someone you've dreamed of having a match with, or someone you've worked with before, or someone you want to tie up loose ends with... and having your last VoW match against them. So while we build up this Halloween event (which will be held on the 30th, the 28th being the "deadline" for getting stuff in), get with people, make plans, etc and so forth. And feel free to RP for both shows, neither show, or only one. But like I said above... I wanna end this ish on a high fn note! So let's do whatever we can to accomplish that, and go back to what made VoW great in the first place!
Details... gotta hit on these real quick. "Cards" will be posted. Halloween event, people need to get with us ASAP if they have an official match. You have like two days lol. We'll post the card as soon as we get about 4-5; first come, first serve. Again, this will be very segment heavy so you can build toward the final show. Final show will be held on the 12th of November, DL being the 10th. Matches will be worked on as early as possible. We WILL have a good final two shows. Even if I have to do everything myself. I want us to prove why we, as a little indy fed (facing many a challenge both IC and OOC), stayed alive for a strong two and a half years.
So... tl;dr... all questions and comments insert below, VoW is closing, we're having two final shows in which you get to pick your matches, we want these shows to be awesome so let's do things quickly and efficiently, you guys are already awesome, we had a good fucking run, there will be a logical IC reason (see segment on A&D results), the community will still exist on Skype (anyone who isn't there and wants to be, hit me up), and I adore all of your faces and will see you back in the chat.
Oh. And thank you. Seriously. For everything all of you have done.

I can't say I didn't see this coming. You're right, V - it's been coming for a while.
I just wanted to say, love you guys. This will be my last long RP fed for the immediate future, and it will be one of only three feds I've ever truly called home (one of only two not run by myself.) You took someone meant to be a comedy jobber and made him a thing, while other feds took people meant to be serious and made them comedy jobbers. You let me tell his story, became invested in it and didn't punish me for being a shit promo, where other feds barely cared about my CD and only wanted to see me call people names. You made me become confident in my writing again to the point where I was able to enjoy efedding again. I'll never forget that. Thank you.
I am also going to admit I wasn't identifying with the direction VoW was going in lately, which is why I've mostly not been here for the past few months. But the period between me joining in Feb 2015 and last summer will be in my heart forever as some of the most fun times I've had in efedding.
So - I may be hitting up a couple people to see if they want to have a match for our final show...with RYDER. Yes. He needs to be there when the fed closes. So if anyone really wants to kick my ass, let me know. Otherwise, I'll be coming to you.
Other than that, don't expect to see me around a lot. I'd love to be re-admitted into the chat, but I understand if I'm not. Just know that I'll never forget any of you, or what this fed did for me. Even if I didn't identify with it as much lately.
Thank you all, from the annoying cousin of this family.

...my timing for signing up here is proving to be a double-edged sword, huh?
On one hand, I'm bummed at not being able to really get involved around here. I can't blame anyone for being burned out or for not having fun anymore--this is a game, and the logical step when you're not having fun is to stop. On the other hand? At least I got to start out, and that's saying more than one would think. More importantly, I got to meet y'ins--or get back in touch, in some cases. As such, what I'm about to say shouldn't be a surprise.
I--and by extension, Erin-- ain't gonna abandon ship.
I'm sorry if I fell short as a new handler with no-showing my debut, or with not being able to get that segment in for the episode of Breakdown before the PPV. As alluded to, I had something personal happen that led to me having to rely on memory/habit to get the deadline right... and I failed. I wish I would have had more of a chance to make that up to you guys. I guess I'll just have to graphics whore around some, huh? ^^;
I'm open for a match for either show, but I understand that Erin's a bit player in comparison to most of y'ins. If there's no room at the table, then I'll bow out gracefully. If I can take that tiny corner seat, though--the one where I'm gonna be elbowed from both sides--then I'll take it happily.

VOW, let me say something. I'm proud to be part of this fed, proud to promo my matches in this fed and i'm honored to fight great talented guys in this fed. I'll be sad to see this close at November. Before you close, i wanna fight all matches till it close, i will fight every match to make this fed proud and also i will not stop till it close. Give me the next match till the final day cause i'll fight anyone for the final night. I know its hard for guys to write results to keep up with the deadline, staff you should be proud cause all the hard work that you guys have done.
My final words, VOW lets give the final show to bloody remember and lets leave with our damn head held high! Book the final match that i want to compete, i don't care if it's a title match, tag match, 6 man tag, steel cage, hardcore match, Hell in a Cell match, ladder match, tables match, inferno match and other match that you can make it interesting. Jamo is proud to be VOW's lone wolf and proud to be their legend but first i have to earned it have i? I ain't staying rest till i have that one final match for you guys!
Before i go, I got one bad ass spear to finish, one LWK to drop someone and most of all i will use them for the final show. WHO'S NEXT?

2 and a half years.
If you told me when we first started that we'd even make it to one year, I would've said 'fuck I hope so'...That's not a knock on any of the staff or the quality we were putting out but it just didn't seem plausible that we could hold a fed up high from this long.
If you told me that this place would become for more than just a fictional wrestling federation and it would be a community, a family of people from across the globe who all have a love for telling stories and watching wrestling, and being horrible human beings (for those who have played Cards Against Humanity with us), I would've said thats wishful thinking
If you told me that VoW would be something far bigger than what I imagined it would be, I would've probably made a joke about it.
But here we are, over 2 years later...We've created some of this game's best characters and stories, we've made friends, we've roasted some people who shunned us, we've laughed, we've nearly fallen (literally so many times), and we've been there for each other when shit wasn't going right.
We've yelled at Petey, called PJ numerous horrible names, DDT'd Iser and annoyed the crap outta me many a times. We've been so angry at each other that we've left our own chat, we've upset each other and disagreed but through all that shit...we are still a family. Whether you're Iser and Frankie who have been here from the start or if you're Erin Gordon who has literally been here for a few weeks max, you're apart of our family.
I am so proud to say we've helped people flesh out some amazing characters, guys like Tyron Bickerton, Scarlet Flint, Datura, Stacy Jones, Katie Moicelle, and Casanova English....They all came to VoW and told their stories here, even if it wasn't for long, they CHOSE us to be their home.
Results were literally never on time but they stuck around, sometimes our ideologies wouldn't match up but they stuck around, you all stuck around through some shitty situations and some ugly disagreements, you stuck around when you didn't need to...
So I ask, if you really are apart of this family, if VoW meant something to you, if this community meant something to you at all, then stick around...Stay in the chats, tweet each other on Twitter...Keep our tight-knit family rolling and prove the rest of the community a point, that this place wasn't just any old, willy, nilly fucking fed...it was a place where a community was created and nurtured. I am proud to say that we produced such quality work, even if it was never on schedule, it was work I was proud to be able to post and create alongside all of you, to the point where...we've realised we just can't keep to that standard any longer, it just is not plausible for us to provide that high level content for you with our schedules and we don't want to diminish the legacy we've created.
We've put in 2 and a half years of hard work, loss of sleep, motivation and time...we've put all that in and it'd be a shame if on our dying days we fizzled out and went poof. We plan on going down all guns blazing, we plan on closing our days with a wham bam thank you ma'am...
Halloween Breakthough.
Our Darkest Hour yet.
Get on those shows, even if it's just a segment, or a match or a god damn dance routine written in words...Get on those shows and help us go out in a ball of fucking flames. This isn't going to be a funeral for the deceased fed, this is going to be a celebration, a celebration of the stories we've told, the friends we've made and the community we've built.
Thank you, thank you if you were here for a week and no showed, thank you if you've showed up to every single god damn event we've had, thank you if you were here when we had like 12 active roster members only, thank you if you were here when we had no faces, thank you if you were here when we had no heels, thank you if you were here to see us make history, thank you if you ever tweeted out our show, or retweeted a post on Twitter, thank you for giving us feedback on the shows we made and the RPs we wrote, thank you for playing games with us, thank you for pestering us every god damn day, asking when results would be coming out.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Because if it wasn't for all that then we wouldn't have been VoW and if it wasn't for all that we wouldn't have been the place we never thought imaginable. And if it wasn't for all that then I wouldn't be so comfortable stepping away from this game in a competitive capacity, Darkest Hour will be my last competitive roleplaying show for now at least, I will be dropping my characters in low maintenance angle feds, but even that may not be a while.
Thank you everyone, for everything. Let's kick some ass one final time and show everyone that we are...
V-O-fucking-W.
Babay.

I honestly don't know where to begin...if anywhere at all...
So I got here in VoW a little bit before the first Fate of the Gods, at a point where I had given up efedding and hadn't went anywhere near this game for a good year and a half. It took our weird little Indian-Australian, the same one I've known in this game for 6 years along with Ace Watson, to finally convince me to come here. I trust Owen with these things, but was I skeptical? Yeah, of course I was...I mean, despite not really being there, I knew some of these names...I knew a tad bit about what NEW was as a community and a fed back from my time in FedWars. I didn't expect to be accepted at all, in fact I gave myself about 2 PPVs max before I left VoW.
But what I never expected...was to meet my best friends in the whole world.
First match against Lexi Pearl...I no-show because right as I prepare to have Tyler debut here, my dad attempts to OD and I break hard. I don't think I showed up again for a few weeks, and I've had this problem where if I no-show, I get scared of getting bashed in this community so I avoid things like hell. It finally took a good friend most of you know by the name of Neptune to finally give me enough courage to step back in and he also was kind enough to check on me every single day after that occurred. Nep, if you ever read this...thank you for your care...and thank you for convincing me to come back, because I never expected the open arms of comfort and kindness I would receive. That's when I started to realize...this wasn't just an efed I was a part of, and at that point in time I needed exactly what VoW gave...a family.
I've had so much amazing moments IC here, from Tyler coming back in and winning the Quest for the Case, being crowned the first I4NI champion in the process, my amazing matches with Scarlet/Flex, Winter's amazing run that I never expected to have...it's all just incredible to me. I loved every moment of this and I needed to find that love again in efedding...I got so poisoned with the serious bug, the "have to win" mentality...it hurt me so much and killed a game for me that helped me escape the pain in life. To have this back was incredible and I have so many people to thank for helping me remake my characters into what they became here that honestly I couldn't name off everyone, but clear people are staff like Nessa, Ryan, Owen, and Slater, Matt Robinson, Seth Iser, Petey (no matter how much the little bish annoyed me lol).
But it was the moments OOC that I had and still have that make me love VoW...the crazy chats where one minute we are being all serious with talks of personal feelings then next moment having a complete change in topic that usually ends in Craig making a Harambe reference and me face-desking in the process. Annoying the shit out of Seth in games while the rest of us laugh at the way Iser-Dice makes him rage. Nessa's constant trying to convince all of us she is the most innocent person in the world when moments later she says something that makes everyone have a true WTF moment. Being able to #BlameOwen for ANYTHING...basically making him our own personal Obama. I have so many more things I could point out from the crazy chats, gaming sessions of Cards Against Humanity or Board Game Online or that time we attempted to do Risk and failed miserably because it took forever. Any of that, from the heartfelt moments, to the crappy days we all have, to the silly nonsense we come up with to make each other happy...it all meant so much to me...it all still does and it's why I love you guys so much.
I'm always going to be here...in fact I know with Nessa's message, reassuring chat would still be around...I was the one crying and afraid things like that would be gone because I don't want to lose you guys as my friends. You have made my life more worth than anything I ever had before. Through the good, the bad, the insane, the horrible...I have always found a reason to smile because of people like Ryan, Nessa, Slater, Owen, Ace, Iser, Matt R (who meeting him btw...this guy is one of my best friends now and he gave me a lot of strength when I was too afraid to bring my troubles to the group), Logan, Nettlez, Craig, Shane, Jon, Frankie, Max, Petey, EVEN PJ AND MY STOMACH TURNS ADMITTING THAT (jk lol, PJ I respect the hell out of you dude and honestly whether you are a dick or not at times, you are a smart dude who I accept as a friend any day of the week). I know I'll miss people, and I'll feel bad...but dammit I'm trying right now.
If you want any example of how good this community is...I wanted to die going through this PPV period...I had to watch my grandmother almost die and yet so many of you...ALL of you...you made me make sure I stayed as positive as I could about everything, and I owe you all for going through the emotional and mental trauma I put myself through with all that. I'll say it over and over, I love you guys and you are my best friends, my family...and yes VoW may be leaving, but these friends...this family...will never die and if anyone is gonna make sure of that, it will definitely be this weird, awkward, more demented than you think, positive thinking, Crimson Tide loving fool from Alabama right here.
To the staff, my friends, the amazing people who built this place for 2.5 years...thank you...for giving me a place to call home...a place for me to feel safe...and a place for me to be happy.

Hey all,
It's obviously a bummer. On a personal note I've been very proud of what I've accomplished here, and very happy with a lot of the work that people have produced. Val will be around for the final event at Darkest Hour, and I'm happy to work with anybody and everybody at the events. Obviously my dream match would be a fatal 4 way with English, Behringer, and Ryder - the 3 guys I loved competing against.
I've owned a few really successful feds in the past, so I'll just leave my thoughts below as I know a lot of people don't want to see this sleeping giant go away.
A bit of food for thought if the conversation comes up again (in regards to any future within the federation):
Potentially reinvent the fed to get people excited again? Bit of paint to brighten the walls? New shows, new era, and a new forward momentum. WWE have had this moment a lot of times, and reinvented itself when its back was against the wall.
In particular a brand split would have been good. Smaller, easier, bite size cards that won't keep management or the wrestlers up all night. This helps creates a personalisation, and would get people absolutely stoked for a draft.
The introduction of actual jobber matches on cards - could have a set few wrestlers that have the jobber tag, which is more geared towards a Character Development roleplay from the wrestler. Could have a word limit.
I always thought that the cards were too long for certain events, and the match ups occasionally too long. I get that was the direction you went, but shorter write ups are better. It saves on grief, time, and expectations.
The format of the show could always alter - have a set word limit for match write ups, segments, then go hail mary on the main event to make that spot special. There could be templates for segments.
In my last fed, we focused less on the write ups, and more on the feedback of RPs, greater involvement outside of the fed.
Also, why are there even deadlines? Shows shouldn't have an expiration date. If it takes time, it takes time.
If managed correctly, I'd happy help head up one of the brands (hint hint).
Val

I was looking at VoW long before I actually joined. Like, at least a year. But it took my most useless character to get me here, and she ended up being my priority. However, I quickly started to run out of ideas and get bored of writing. That's not a problem caused by VoW, it's one I caused myself. I was in 4 feds at once, and when I left them all, this was the one I intended to return to. I could have done a lot more to try to keep this place alive, but I don't know how much difference I'd have made any way.
Regardless, the main reason I planned on returning here was for the community. Efeds come and go - I've been in a lot of them. You don't need the efedding part to be blessed with my amazing puns and witty one-liners.
Despite being told to shut up on an almost daily basis, which I certainly deserve, I feel a part of said community. Just don't kill each other during the time I'm away. That's my job.
There's one thing left to do. Make the last two shows as great as possible. I'm down for a final match, I just need an opponent.
Let's do this...
... for Harambe!

I got screwed out of my last VoW match. But 15-12 isn't bad.

Can't really say I'm surprised here. Saddened that I may not have anywhere to write Katie when she's well anymore, definitely. Disheartened to see such a big part of my life this past year and a half, and something that through thick and thin stay a usual constant come to an end, obviously. Surprised? Not really. Before I get to the people, I just wanna say that you all gave Katie a chance to live in my eyes. You all gave her a chance to exist just like we all do. Before March of last year, I never thought I'd see Katie as more than just a thought in my head. Before November of last year, I never thought she'd amount to anything. Before January, I never thought she'd be a champion as she turned out to be. Before about an hour ago, I never thought she'd hang with the likes of fantastic characters like Seth Iser, and only lose by DQ. What I'm trying to say is that Katie is the walking... er, hobbling definition of "NEVER SAY NEVER" and that just fills me with pride... even though she still lost. But, who are these people that made Katie happen? Well, that's a list: Ryan - you and the next person I'll mention managed to make Katie happen in the first place. You two managed to bring me over when I was just starting out as an e-fedder. I can't really say y'all saw something in me, because I can't confirm that, but damn if it didn't all work out in the long run. Matt R. - you with Stacy brought Katie to life in ways I didn't think possible. You effectively made Katie into what she was at her best, and if I can ever find a way to get her back to that, then there's nothing she can't do. I wish there were a way I could pay you back for all of that. If it weren't for the fact that I already have an older brother who I'm close with, I'd consider you one. Ty - you're just a super kind soul who's good at fantasy football, moving on. Nah, I kid, you've brought positivity to the whole of our group, and for that alone, you're quite the commendable human. Joe - I love Claire, and I feel she's one of your best, man. If it weren't for her, then we wouldn't be talking about Katie today, frankly. Pedro - Yeah, say what you will about him, say what you will about his RP habits, say what you will about him being annoying (as if he doesn't say it enough about himself), but darn it, he's had good influence over Katie at some point. Like after last year's Darkest Hour to Katie winning 0G. Slater/Owen - Yeah, you two are in the same boat, because you two effectively gave me the same advice during Katie's fall after FOTG II: don't let Katie be me. Let Katie be Katie. Say what you will about how Katie's acted since losing (because it's not like her actions shouldn't be derided), and me not taking that advice, but it did happen, so I'mma say it. Nessa - for believing in all of us with her magical... something or other. OH, and for keeping the boat from sinking for a little bit... then it sank... and we all drowned... great Tuesday. Dustin - for actually wanting a rivalry with Katie! Sorry we couldn't get to it in time, man... I promise if we meet down the road, and Dustin is still a thing, we'll have this rivalry happen. All right, I think that's everyone... no sappy words here, just gonna let the next person do that... and Ty already made someone cry, so... yeah... I love you guys.

It's sad to see the fed go, that's for sure, but I cannot praise y'all for actually having the guts to close down this place. Far too many times have I seen feds desperately try to keep going when everything feels like shit and they just end up prolonging the inevitable. I have a lot of respect for you guys for making such a mature decision - even considering the recent struggles ,it must not have been very easy.
Even though I have only been here like 3 months in total, I've always lauded the community this place houses. Seriously, y'all are the best and I feel honored to be able to say that I was a part of this, even if it was only 3 months. I truly regret that I haven't actively engaged in conversations with you on Skype but I promise to be on more so I can get to know y'all even better outside of fedding.
Thanks for the memories, everyone! Let's create some more on Skype!

My turn I guess. I've been doing this fedding malarky since 2008. Robinson was my first character and I started in a place called WWA. It lasted just under a year, I loved my time there however short it was and I was able to kick start what would be the beginning of a great career for Robinson. I then joined NWA, which was the fed that lasted the longest I've been a part of and was the first place I called home and I was able to turn Robinson into one of their biggest stars and it's something that I will never forget. I 'retired' Robinson and decided to focus on Stacy and after I left NWA, I joined a place called WCF. Omega had mentioned VoW to me after I had joined WCF so I told him that if things didn't work out at WCF for whatever reason, I'd check VoW out. The less said about WCF, the better but long story short, I left. A few of you guys also know that I joined NEW for like three weeks or something, but again, less said about that the better. So I joined VoW. Surprisingly, not with Robinson or Stacy but with Edward Myers. I brought Stacy in a short while after that. I wasn't feeling it with Myers so I swapped him out for Sir William Cambridge and then I wasn't feeling it with him either and I was starting to get the itch to write as Robinson, so I swapped Cambridge out with Robinson. From an IC standpoint. Thanks to VoW, I was able to evolve Stacy into my most favourite character I've ever fedded as. I was able to really, truly flesh her out into the character she is today. And as for Robinson? VoW gave me the platform to do with Robinson what I never thought I would or could do, have him be a heel. Yes. I know. Shocker right? Robinson was a babyface from the moment he was created in 2008 all the way up till his debut in VoW. Hard to believe, I know. Even now I find it hard to believe that the bastard used to be a face lol. Also, when it comes with Stacy, I was able to really kick off her career properly in VoW. And it's thanks to VoW that I was able to do that with her and for that, I shall be eternally grateful. From an OOC standpoint. Well. What can I say? I've made some of the best friends I could ever ask for. And it fucking sucks that I'll probably never be able to meet any of you guys in real life. Literally, the only person I could potentially meet up with face to face would be Slater. Fuck that shit. Joking of course. This place became my new home. And I have many amazing memories both IC and OOC from my time here that I will never ever forget. I know the guy ain't around anymore but I want to thanks Steve for allowing me to join this place. I want to thank Omega for simply just letting me know about this place in the first place. I want to thanks Nessa, Owen and Slater for being great staff members who gave us great cards along with great results (whether they were late or not, summarised or full written matches, they were still always great) and also listening to and allowing ideas to go ahead for shit. I wanna thank Ty, Logan, Shane and James for helping me build Stacy into the character she is today and also Ty again for helping me build Robinson's character even more. I want to thank the rest of you guys, even PJ, for being great friends to me from just being random on chat all the way to the time where you were all there for me when my Aunt nearly died from her two brain aneurysms and strokes. Whether you were praying for her or just thinking about her, it warms my heart and it's something I will never ever forget. But yeah. Even though this place is closing. Even though it was this place that brought us together. You are all my friends and you will always be my friends no matter what. You're all awesome and I love you all. You can bet your asses that I'll be involved in both our final shows. I'd like to be involved with both characters, however to not steal a place from someone else, if I can only have one of my characters involved then I'll be choosing Stacy. VoW will always have a place in my heart. I never wanted to see it close down, but I understand why and I have accepted it. Let's go out with our heads held high. VoW forever!

In the rather short time Dazi has been here, I have never met a group of friends so awesome. You all are now on my list of friends and people I can truly call friends both in and out of this crazy ass game. I really do appreciate the warmth that people gave me back in September after the no show, with life being extra crazy then. I hope that I will see some of you on twitter and in other feds soon. Don't let this stop you from writing, if you choose to do so.
Love ya'll
<3 Icy
