It's kind of hard to write a shoutout for someone that was my best friend a thousand posts ago and is my best friend now, because ideally nothing changes in the mean time lmao. It's not always easy to keep it that way though, because you being my best friend has this unfortunate side effect of making you the natural dumping ground for my (often not exactly standard) overthinky and dumb problems where I really should be slapping some sense into myself instead. Which is quite frankly a really poor way to show my gratitude sigh, and that makes me feel bad—there are a lot more fun things that we can, and fortunately do, talk about, like the badassity and hauntingness of those One Piece characters that we both like. And since I got ELO's Time the other day, I doubt there's anyone that truly understands how much that album gets ruined by that one parallelism error in the lyrics. Also do remind me to check out Dual Destinies whenever I can, looks like time is getting pressing with Ace Attorney 6 coming up :0 Whatever happens, as far as I'm concerned we'll be the GP aces for a long time to come :)

Thanks for, uh, irrevocably fucking up my youtube recommended songs list, I suppose? If someone had told me two years ago when I still read the OU forum that I once would be engaging in caps lock wars and exchanging music and gossiping with the user then known as Ohioisonfire, then I would have had trouble believing that, but hey, I'm not complaining :) Thanks for being silly and for letting me be silly, for being serious just as easily when it's needed, and for accepting me the way I am, you're a great friend that I'd trust with anything. And while you mayy overthink stuff pretty hard at times, it'd be kinda hypocritical of me to make a big deal out of that heh. Try to become a bit harder to troll though, I'd like a little more of a challenge there :^)
anto
You deserved that hardest worker award so badly that it isn't even funny, but alas... they definitely don't mean it that way, but it'd be nice if people took everything you do a little less for granted. Who's gonna keep me from burning out otherwise lmao, you're a great Flying Press leader and a great friend and I can't say that I'm getting tired of working with you just yet. Though we really haven't been talking as much as we should lately, pretty sure I've still got a pile of songs to dump on you lying around somewhere :(

Thanks again for inspiring me to pick up GP checking and for helping me with prose changes in a dim and distant past haha, I never would've been able to achieve as much on the forums otherwise. But this isn't 1k anymore, you're not dead anymore, and most importantly, since the GP chat became a thing, you're not just my former teacher anymore, you're one of the people that make me stick around this site and I like being around. I mean, you always seemed like a cool dude, but I didn't quite expect you to be
this chill lmao. I know we haven't been talking for long, but whether we're just spamming food pics or discussing uni suckage or other Serious Matters, I hope that won't change anytime soon :) I will find you a Dutch cryptid some day, I promise...

Join IRC more often imo, I miss your old man rants and anto and toast aren't being trolled anywhere near as often atm as they deserve. Your wisdom always helps me put things into perspective during my unhappier moments, and while those have become pretty rare now, that's no reason for you not to show up. I still hope to add you to the GP team once you stop johning that amcheck :^)
GatoDelFuego
You'll always be the inferior GPTL of us three hue, but your levelheadedness is something that we really can't do without. And there aren't many people around here that care so much about GP as you do, or as much about... your friends in general, and that's really cool u_u hope you can also get your banner some day one way or another :)

You have a pretty... unique... life to say the least, and I'm seriously impressed with how you manage to stay your upbeat and chill self while other people would've gone half insane had all those things happen to them. Also share some more music with me imo
Tikitik
Stop dying omg, you're really worrying me :( the SFP staff channel needs you, it's always a better place with you around. I suppose it's easier to keep up with your avatar changes rn, but that isn't anywhere near worth it :(
sandshrewz
I suppose "pumpka" reads kinda similar to "plumberjack", otherwise I have no idea how you could've thought I was skylight for a pretty long while the first time we ever talked haha. The good thing I've heard about you are true, and I really like how you both have your trademark carefreeness and can easily be serious when needed, you're a cool guy.
Quite Quiet
If there were any skeptics re. your staff member capabilities you sure proved them wrong, and gosh it's great to have someone around that can be called on pretty much always. Not to mention that you're a chill dude in general as well.
Toast++ Bummer
It's borderline disrespectful to consider you guys "former" staff with how much you still do for us. You guys are not only cool to be around but also lifesavers on a more than frequent basis, and that's very much appreciated u_u

pleasure working with you guys too—in some of your cases, in other sections of the site too :)

Thanks for all the support while my 1k team kept punching higher and higher above its weight, I still can't believe I ever ended up topping our leaderboard. Also sorry for my absence in the thread since losing—I still read most posts, I still play, I just haven't been able to achieve anything worth posting. My initial plan honestly was to make my 2k in the maison thread as well, but I haven't been able to strike the proper balance of form and non-idiocy—but rest assured, you guys haven't seen the last of me yet...

Thanks for respecting my wishes and concerns re. the gp chat, you're a cool dude u_u

You can be a little immature and borderline batshit at times, but I like your commitment to GP and your genuine friendliness and silliness. No matter what anyone thinks about you, you're a good person that cares about their friends, don't let that ever change :)
astroboy
You are the true bad pun god of this site, and you can be a genuinely good kid and a good contributor behind the self-donned shitposter mask. Stay out of trouble though, I don't like it when you forget how cool you really are :(
