Yeah, I'm really enjoying the game. I hope the quality/quantity of my posts reflects that, and that you actually enjoy reading them. The more I like a game, the more I write, usually. Someone give me a wordcount! Not really.

Btw, the rest of you need to insert your own generic 'We enjoy all that you do Draignean!' posts, so he feels really bad for not coming back. :V
Mine was in a tab I thought I had replied! :O So

But yeah. Pretty much me ever since joining the RtD subforum was enjoying and connecting with it because the GM cared about their players--they can be harsh or not, but respecting the IC nature of the characters (rather than possibly stereotyping them out of character in-game with stereotypical actions without initial explanation...I'm being vague here <_< anyway). And to that, that's in challenging the players to work with each other and with what'll be going on. This is pretty much me saying that I appreciate the walls of text you manage to churn out even if I only see my section at the current time--I read it all back later on and find myself enjoying the whole picture from our views when I've the time, and it's worth it (even if I die or not).
So less of an appeal to emotion but more of acknowledgement to the already-present connections and prowess in GMing. It's also difficult picking players for your starter slots and that may disappoint some folks too, but this GM communicates with everyone or tries his best to, via PMs! (Personally relating that here; I've talked with folks and waitlisters over PMs to setup mini-adventures as an aside
)
It's a very good point to forward and strengthen belongingness, because that's one characteristic everyone has, and needs.
