Edited to be more "charming" and "intelligent"
Ruthven: While perhaps not the quickest pupil when I try to teach him foreign languages and how to get with the ladies, he's definitely been an excellent friend for years and has offered some good advice in tough situations. Next time I visit England, the first drink's on me. ;]
SAJN_Master: Despite my trying to mail him several copies of MotS with results of varying hilarity, SAJN has somehow remained a friend. He even gave me directions when I was lost in Providence, RI on a cold New England night! brrr If you end up getting Stadium Arcadium tickets, I'm totally down for a show.
Genki: This Minnessassian has a good sense of humor and an excellent sense of style when it comes to glasses... (poseur).
Spiral: Spiral has an excellent imagination and the artistic skill to make his nightmares become reality, be it in sculpted masks, film, decoration, or levels. He also has an awesome car. And an awesome house. And is awesome. *jealous*
Thrawn[42689]: If I didn't succeed in filling his mind with enough nonsense when he was younger, I am no doubt finishing the job with his brother. Thrawn has some definite artistic talent, whether we're talking about modelling, drawing, or scritchy scritchy scraaatching.
Wolfy: Also referred to by me as "Wolfar" as a term of endearment, Wolfy is one of the few old guard Command Chamber members with whom I still chat. Sorry about The Fall of Jazztyn. :[]
GhostOfYoda: When I first asked GoY to record for TFoJ, his voice had not yet changed. Now he is much older. Needless to say, I've been here way too long. >.>
vedder: The onetime king of #tacc (when people actually *chatted* there), vedder remains an excellent sounding board for game-related ideas and content, especially since he is now studying in this field at Utrecht. It has, on occasion, been my pleasure to help as his editor, also, on various projects.
descent_pilot: Always willing to help in my latest maniacal scheme, descent_pilot has a great appetite to learn and improve.
Elmo: Another longtime editing friend, Elmo and I have shared notes and betas on projects going way back. (Although he's admittedly been a lot more productive than a certain someone else :ninja:) His skill in design and art are getting better every time I see his work, and I have no doubt that it could take him somewhere great if he keeps up with it. Hopefully we'll figure out a name for that 'other' project sometime soon...
Vinny: Okay, okay, I stole the term "emosaurus" from you.
MBeggar: Although our conversations have steadily deteriorated into "omhhai wutz up with yuo?!", I think it's partly my fault since I had started drunk dialling/IMing him. He has the dubious honor of having witnessed what may have been my most off-the-hook IM conversation *ever* in which I continually switched between trying to type in Old English and street slang.
JediGandalf: An upright and trustworthy Californassian, JG
Milady: Hot Massassian #1.
GBK: A brilliant, technically savvy Massassian who, while best known as a blue-faced emoticon, is a veritable fount of insight.
jEDIkIRBY: Does anyone remember when jEDIkIRBY first joined Massassi and posted only in the 3rd person?

Although we may not see eye to eye on some issues (no pun!), I have nothing but respect for someone who refuses to limit his perspectives and opportunities despite anyone's claims that it's unfeasable. All I can say is, don't let anybody discourage or disillusion you and keep on striving towards what you call zeal and I call Quality and anything's possible.
halucid: My mind has been blown too many times by his editing skills to say anthing more than: "whoa"
Schming: When I was lost, tired, homeless, and hitchhikking in Atlanta, Schming not only shacked me up but provided me with beer, a sandwich, and a free viewing of "Yellow Submarine". He also referred me to the tastiest biscuits I've ever eaten (<3 biscuits) and put on a good show in Decatur. If you show up at Bonaroo, the first drink's on me.
kyle90: The more time I spend around these forums lately, the more I am beginning to discover (and highly appreciate) kyle90's *hilarious* sense of humor. The Canadiassian definitely has an appetite for adventure that is kindred with my own and should have no trouble keeping himself entertained on even the most mundane of days.
