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!

GREETINGS SOMMUNISTS

--oh man I know I've dropped like a year ago when stuff was still on LJRP, but for those who remembers, it's Ruki here, who used to play this golden douchebag at 'rupturedbabylon' and Minato Arisato at 'carpo_vita'. I've moved on since thenand have determined that I am unable to play like more than 3 characters at a time, but I still look back on Som sometimes and sigh nostalgically at the good times had. Somarium's been my second RP, though I will also say without question that throughout my 3~4 years of RPing history, this game had the strongest community spirit. I remember fondly dicking around with everyone on the IRC channel most, and while it's been slow going sometimes, I had a lot of fun, built some amazing CR, and made some really good friends I still keep in touch with to this very day. Soo... even if this is coming out of the blues from an oldie who's already left that no one probably remembers:

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY AND ~~REJOICE~~ KEEP ROCKING, YOU GUYS. Congrats to Laena too, mamma head mod who lured me over here from Luceti which was my first and only game back in the days in the first place!

Ruki!!! <333 /TACKLES )o)

ok i will hop on my personal journal that i never use but it'll at least look better (and less obnoxious) than the one above....

MEGU <3333 aaah Shiki and Minato were such good friends, I remember having all those feelings when he consoled her over Riku leaving ;u; AND REMEMBER THAT TIME HER PUPPY KIND OF WENT ALL OVER THE PLACE... I had a lot of fun, so thank you for all the great memories!! *u*

RUKKKIIIII

There are days I wonder how you are....

I am fine *u*/ bumming harder than I ever had before yet still being unable to manage more than like 2 games... sob. Mayfield IS closing next year though SOOOO... /eyes quietly...

haha no but really, I used to try keeping up on my personal LJ before I just gave up after the move to DW. I've caught glimpses of your entries and they've always made me smile even if I don't comment, haha. Your engagement entry was adorable did anyone tell you that because I think you should be reminded again and shhhh don't point out to me that this was a loooong time ago, okay... BUT YES it's heartwarming to see the game still going strong! Mamma Lae's come a long way guiding the wayward Sommunists... u///u You've been doing okay too, hopefully? o/

lol I'm only in two games now, too, actually. Just here and Soul Campaign.

And alkjdfljadf LOL XD Okay yeah that post was cute :3 man I really should update my journal but never really get the motivation to do so anymore. /slowly drifting away......

But yeah, I'm doing all right. Third year of law school coming up.

Whoo hoo.

i do not understand how people can be in 5+ and play like 10 characters lae I really don't and i don't think i wanna find out how

lae is the most moe... >u< no haha I understand you. Me too there was a time I actually updated this notion of the past we refer to as 'personal journal', but then just... um, yeah you know what I'm talking about, right... u_u;

ARE YOU ALMOST DONE... mO_Om

Remember when I used to do that? Yeah, I still don't know how I did it either so I can't give an answer |D

Nuuuuu >OOOO Oh wait I'm the most... ... .. okay I'll take it >w> But yes I do ._.;; It's really sad, I do miss reading entries...

LAST YEAR. THIS IS THE LAST YEAR 8UUU

i don't wanna know so i'd say we're good :|b

COZIES... Yeah they were fun to read but then we just get lazy ;u; ah well good times.

GO FIGHT WIN YOU CAN DO IT!! But seriously, best of luck with your last year, and with netting a solid job on the market once you're done! *u*/

OMIGOSH IT'S A RUKI

--jan

JAAAAN ;A;/!!!

/REACHES FOR ;A;

oh man it's been forever but i can say hands down minato and dominic's CR is still among some of the best I've ever had the pleasure of threading throughout my experiences on lj/dwrp ;u; It was cross-canon which automatically puts it at an advantage, and they were awesome bros that tackled things & worked together. thank you so much for the memories, I think I'm gonna swandive vack to memory lane to re-read some of our old threads now, ;u;

askdjalsda yes they were awesome bros. ;A; even if Dominic was kind of socially awkward right up to the very end, whoops.

and damn it now I feel like re-reading their old threads too—

Happy 4th Birthday Somarium :D
