So, I'm about to make my thousandth forum post. I'll take this to thank everyone who's gotten me there, and will hopefully get me even further!

@bathroom14 - Your town was the first I ever lived in. I remember buying a 20x20 plot from one of your co-mayors, and building on it. I remember my old house, the old enchantment table, all that TheBathroom once was. I visited it a few months ago, and it was *quite* different. If only I could go into that house one more time...

The Lottery - I know that I may not have made a profit off of you overall. But without you, I might have gotten to Resident a lot later, or not at all. I can remember the moment when you gave me one of the biggest gifts of my ECC career.
"Congratulations go to SuburbSomeone for winning $67150 with 1 ticket." - Lottery, April 9th, 2013
I was a builder then. I'd been on ECC for months, and had probably made enough money for Resident, but I kept using the lottery rather than saving it up. This was my big break. It got me to Resident, with over $50,000 left over. I used that on the lottery too, rather than save for Mayor. I eventually got there, but it took more than a month, a lot of mining, and a lot of Survival Games too.

Suburbville - You've changed so much ever since I bought you with Mayor. When I bought you, you were just a swamp with a dozen lakes. Everything seemed so far away, it's as if is was disconnected. Sometimes, I still feel that way about it still, though it's pretty well-connected now. It's a wonder to see how much it changed, from when I first got it to what it is now. I remember selling my first plots, and making money. I can remember how confusing the roads were, and I remember the base in the sky that I made with @ducksdown1, @fishman5000, and @greenboy2304. I remember when @greenboy2304 made his storage wars, and I also remember losing money in countless others before. I can remember @mrpyr0 setting up his President town Fallen as if it was yesterday- I remember the farm he made, the PvP arena plans he had, the arena itself. It was all so amazing to see, and I really loved to see Fallen and all of the greatness there was inside it. It made me feel awful about what my town was back then. The town is no longer his- it was sold to MinecraftParkerH, and then to tanger91. I'll start with Minecraft.

@MinecraftParkerH - I never knew this until recently, but you're one of the major reasons Suburbville is what it is today. Not only did you expand Fallen, but you also gave your Mayor town, Fallen2, a portal- and that portal has helped me immensely in bringing new people into Suburbville. I must have said things along the lines of "look for the fallen2 portal" at least a dozen times now- and each time I say that, I acknowledge the portal you made, and I can't help but thank you for it.

@tanger91 - As the current Mayor of Fallen and Fallen2, you've been wonderfully kind in giving me permissions to Fallen, which were relatively cheap, if I remember correctly. I've broken multiple pumpkin axes there, but I've also chopped down countless pumpkins. Thanks for allowing me the opportunity to do so, even if I haven't made too much of a profit overall due to the broken axes.

Survival Games- Well, haven't you changed. I remember the old days, where I teamed with anyone and everyone. I made a lot of friends that way- it's the same way I do now. For every non-kitter I teamed with, there are many people now who do the same. I can remember when there were lots of SG games without kits. If there were kits, I knew that I was doomed- especially if @BRYCEY365 brought out spy. Occasionally, I was able to survive in the Games even when there were kits- @Kick_Me_1235 was certainly a big help with that, though I didn't play with him all that often. I also teamed a lot with @Mineo_2000, @ducksdown1, @fishman5000, @ElementalSway (as nirnir32), @bloxer21, @webman11123, @drewbo173, @ConferateBoys, and countless others. For kit users who aid me now, I have @Tytanner3, @xXNetherXx, @webman11123, and @xxxxxXTURTXxxxxx, among others, who I can rely on when kit users come to a game I play in. I have countless others without kits who I team with- I think you all know who you are, and there's many of you too. I really thank you all for making my Survival Games experience that much more enjoyable.
The arenas were also quite different. Arenas 2 and 4 changed during my time on ECC during 2013. Arena 2 went from a large jungle-type area with bridges, a seacoast, a temple, and a dark spawn to a smaller arena that resembled the old spawn that this server once had. Arena 4 went from a vast land of snow, caves, castles, monuments, and bridges into a moon, covered with a large, extensive base that is fun to walk around in. The old arena 1, I think, may have been the first arena I ever played in. I didn't win that game, but I felt very capable of doing so in the future. I can remember winning hundreds of games back when doing so was rare. I briefly even made it to third place in the Survival Games leaderboards at the time, which tracked wins. If it had a points system, as it does today, then I would probably be a lot lower, as many of my wins came with relatively few kills.

Long list of people to thank for getting me here..
@Rachel8484 - You are a wonderful and exciting person to talk to. We've been friends for a long time, and I am glad to know you so well. I'm glad you kept my tower, by the way. It's really a time capsule for me, as it shows how I was two years ago. But enough about that. I really hope to talk to you more in the future, and strengthen an already-strong friendship. See you around!
@lapkingkn - I remember when your casino was just a few machines in a building in Laptown. It has changed so much since, and it's really wonderful to see just how much it has grown. With that, I have to say just one more thing. Hail Lapking!
All of the people who team/have teamed with me in Survival Games - Thank you! I love it when I can team with anyone, and all of your support was and is absolutely wonderful. I can't thank you enough for all that you all have done. I hope to play with many of you soon!
@Tytanner3, @lovemorgan3, and @Red_Pandaz_13 - You three are wonderful people to team with, and I'm glad to team with you all.
@savannah15 - You are a really good person to play SG with, though it seems like you follow me 24/7 sometimes. You're also a really great person who deserves co-mayorship of Suburbville, as do @lapkingkn and @Luk3doonhamer.
@Luk3doonhamer - I have seen your recent ambition in regards to Suburbville. I really hope that this ambition not only optimizes Suburbville, but I also hope it can lead you to prosper on this server.
@webman11123 - You have been and are currently a great friend to me. I can't say we haven't gone through rough patches, but I really find you to be a good, nice friend.
@Raccooy - Please don't leave. You're an amazing raccoon who should never, ever leave ECC. That being said, you're a wonderfully nice person and someone who is certainly a good friend of mine.
@Toymaster3 - We only recently became friends, but you're only a few days in, and nearly have enough money for Tycoon! I wish you luck on that, and also advise you to save up money for that also.
@Bashdash100 - You are a really nice user who I am lucky to call my friend. You have a great, warm personality, and that should carry you to new heights. Know that you will always land on your feet.
Everyone else, you have been wonderful to me, and I thank you for that. Sorry if I forgot to tag you, and feel free to ask!


Thank you, everyone, for everything. This is an important milestone for me, as I know that it signifies a major point that most people never even get to- 1,000 posts. But now, I am here. I have made it to post number one thousand. So with that, I say good night to three digits, and good morning to four.

 

Thank you! Congratulations on 405!

 

Wow, that made me laugh a few times. Thank you for writing this, it was a wonderful read! And I haven't quit the server in a month and a half, so there's that.

 

Ok, I'll be sure to look at them! And you're welcome :D

 

Thank you! Sorry I didn't tag you, even though we were in the Dank Memes Club or whatever that is. @UnitedStates2002, there you go.

 

Didn't end up counting as my 1000th because I posted a lot on staff applications. I have no idea what my 1000th post actually was. Though this will always be the one I remember <3

 

Thanks, though I'm a lot closer to two thousand now :p

 

1716 and 39. ;)
