Happy 4th Birthday Somarium :D

HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY SOMARIUM!



And with this signal post, we mark the highlight of the event and the "special present" us mods give to you players.

You're probably wondering about the fate of Somarium, right? Was everything we said before a lie? Did we just troll you guys so hard that this is really just a joke?

Nope. All of this is real and what we said was not a lie. As stated in the previous event posts, everyone will be able to go back to Somarium and there will be a point next month where characters can go out to check the aftermath. We'll save those details for the next moon cycle.

But we have other presents! Nice presents.

Okay actually they're not that great as they're really just updates to pages that really needed to be updated. But we've finished! So here's a list of everything that's been updated:

• Event Timeline updates! Right here. We have completely reformatted and redone the Event Timeline. It's also up to date. It won't be updated for another year. But this is very detailed and pretty much is a blow by blow of everything that happened. Everything. In four years.
  
  
• Game Overview. Right here. In addition we've made a condensed game plot overview because that Event Timeline is huge and makes everyone cry. This is nicer and serves as a good summary of the important things that have happened.
  
  
• NPC page. Because of the change of NPCs, we've revamped the NPC page here.
  
  
• Creatures + Noctaere page. We've also updated this page, and can be found here.
  
  
• Locations Page Update. Because of the new addition of Ob Holm, the Locations page has been updated.

And now a word from your mods.

Laena: Dude, I've been in this game and been it's head mod for four years straight. It's seriously like my own child now and soon it's going to be a rambunctious teenager with what we have in store for it. But I'm very happy to see it come so far and when I think it's been four years since I first apped here with Tamaki...it's just really hard to believe. To think this game was conceived while I was still in college... And I can't stop laughing at the image. I mean seriously I can't—

Though in all seriousness, I can't wait to see how the game continues to develop and grow and decide what we'll blow up next. I mean...uh. Cookie anyone? Okay that wasn't so serious either, oops.

Mart: And yet again, Lae continues to overshadow the rest of us. But that's probably on her job description of head mod somewhere.

God, I still remembering when I joined like it was yesterday. Two of our current players egged me on to get back onto roleplaying — you know who you are — and to try out LJRP for the first time. I was freaking scared in the beginning because it was like a whole new world to me. And yet somehow, through their ceaseless nagging effort, here I am now as a mod, as a player, as an RP-er. I want to thank each and everyone of you, new and old, for making my roleplay experience amazing. It wouldn't be the same if even one of you were missing.

I hope Lae, Mei and I will continue to surprise you with the plans we have in store because if you liked this event... well, it's only the beginning, Somarium. Only the beginning.

Mei: In a little over a month, I will have officially been in this game for two whole years... (aaah... Mei is still a baby thing...) Somarium was my first official LJRP and the first non-OC application I ever wrote. It was so different from what I was used to, and really scary, but then I got accepted and everyone was so welcoming and friendly!

Somarium is forever my home game and my true love. I've met so many inspiring people and made some seriously beautiful memories because of this game. I'm really excited to be modding here! This game and you guys mean the world to me, and I hope that I can help to make being part of this game an amazing experience for you guys as well.

Now come and join in everyone—where are the old players and where are the new ones? Perhaps share a favorite story of your time here.

And since today is a special day, we're opening the post to old players who may no longer play the game! So if you're an old Som player no longer in the game but want to say something in memory of your time here, go ahead!

Our only rule? Only good/funny memories! Or if something gave you all the feels, that works, too. But no Debbie Downers allowed!

Right. So.

What's amazing isn't the fact that Som is my home game, because it's not, but precisely the fact that it isn't. I'll have been LJRPing for two years now, come a few days, and in all that time, I have never been able to make a second game stick--until I apped to Som. I can't even remember the all the games I apped into and then immediately dropped from, sometimes even before I introed. And yeah, the first time I apped I dropped a month later, and the second time I apped I wasn't in any games. BUT. MY POINT IS THAT I AM STILL HERE AFTER THREE MONTHS, EVEN WITH ANOTHER GAME and that is something that hasn't happened before.

Thank you, Mart, for seeing that ad I put up on ATP and harassing the ATLA cast into enabling me. Thank you, Laena, for your weird cookie faces THAT KEEP SPAWNING. Thank you, Mei, for keeping in touch with me even after I dropped from the X cast (TWICE) and just being awesome in general. THANK YOU MY GORGEOUS ATLA/LOK CAST AND MY FORMER CLAMP CAST FOR BEING SOME OF THE MOST AMAZING PEOPLE ON THE PLANET AND GIVING ME SOME OF THE BEST THREADS OF MY LIFE. I adore all of you, and if any of you ever need anything from me, just let me know, 'kay? ♥

And I adore this game, even if I'm slow as all get-out right now, because everyone here is so friendly and open to tagging and plotting. You all are fabulous.

Also, this is still my favorite thing.
