Giving Thanks to You

[Cosmos]

I think it goes without saying that this year has been hard on a lot of us. Many are worried about the health and well-being of their family and friends. Some may have lost their employment, some may be struggling with the shift to virtual workplaces/schooling, some may feel increasingly isolated from their communities.

That isn't even getting into the craziness leading up to the event-that-shall-not-be-named happening tomorrow and the chaos sure to follow.

So I wanted to make a small preemptive gesture of gratitude. No negativity. No judgement. There will be plenty of that in the weeks to come.

This community has meant so much to me this year, now more than ever. Central may not be the bustling forum that it once was, but there is still so much passion. And you, dear reader, help make it possible.

I want to finish by recognizing some members of the community that I think are just plain awesome. Some I have argued with, some I thank every post, but they are all great contributors to the community.

Know that this is not a comprehensive list, and I encourage you to recognize those that you personally feel have been model community members in-game and out even if I've already mentioned them.

I noticed your signature a couple months ago! I keep forgetting to bring it up. I'm honored.

What can I say, I like word games and have been playing those longer than the 11 years of Wizzy.

@Bailey Jade, willing to share pet hatches with everyone and so many other great qualities.
@Eric Stormbringer, for being a friend and for bringing information to Central from Twitter.
