Toad Takes a Dive?

Post by DSM-IV »

I have not left, but Toad is out of commission due to IG events. I like to leave things open for RP if he returns or not. So, if he doesn't return I just wanted to take a small moment to thank everyone who has been involved with his story so far. Toad is my first character on the server and I have enjoyed playing here very much. The level of RP has been near the top of all the servers I have ever played/DM'd on for the 10 odd years I have been playing.

For me to list all the players who are just top notch RP'ers would take forever. But, you know who you are and I thank you deeply. This may or may not be the end of Toad as we know him, and I hope I have created a compelling story for anyone involved with him. I don't like to think of it as /his/ story, more a larger story with many involved. IF it ends here then I am more then happy to say it was a great tale, and thanks to all the character's who starred in it.

*lip trembles* B-but...Ambroz...isn't done...getting information out...of the little bugger...*sniffle* I hope he comes back, I really do! You're a great RPer and you've done great things in regards to furthering Ambroz's story!

10/10 would rp again.

I have had so much fun playing with Toad, even if things between our characters are now sour due to ic stuff. I sincerely hope that we'll be able to bring Toad back as he is just too friggin fun to rp with, whether you be on his side or not. Between Toad and Fenix, I have literally been reduced to giggling out of my chair at times due to how much fun it is to banter with them. Toad has been one of the most influential, if not the most influential, character to interact with my own throughout the course of creating Kalika and playing her. His ic actions and feelings compelled Kali to become much more involved in the community as well as opened up a ton of new avenues of rp for not only myself but a good fist-full of characters. Hope to see him soon!

Come back, Toadstool! Merin still wants to make a necklace out of your toes to go with her Stormwind hat!

I will cut you.

<3 Toad however. Great character, the best source of info for my devious sorceress to get her claws into. Fullest props to the player for making a point of being in-the-know with all the latest word on the street, and just being great at playing that mob-boss style villain!

Also, for being willing to look like the character had at least a little bit of emotion left in him. So many of the evils I've worked with forget that they're still playing living things that may very well think that something is wrong. Top it off with excellent reflexes to show that disgust, and you have one player -incredibly- excited to see what you cook up next. Though, if you do come back as Toad, I promise pies. Meat pies.

-as long as you don't mind the odd missed silvery scale here and there.

Not dragon blood! Hickory glaze, honest!

NOOOO MY NEMESIS!

I know Storm haaaates Toad (and vice versa!). But I think you're a freaking awesome, thoughtful, fun player, DSM, and I think it's a huge blessing to have you here. <3

I will never forget the witty banter between Erskine and Toad. I fell in love with the little halfling since he was a wee little cuttah. I've been preoccupied elsewhere and haven't followed Toad's progress but as a player you certainly had a penchant for drawing in all sorts of characters into RP with you. Good work.

I didnt get as far into the Rp between Jaz and Toad as I would have liked, but I was pleased with the almost "big brother of the street" vibe I was getting from the little halfling. Its a shame that some things happened that made me dump the character onto a shelf, would have been nice to see where that went. But I agree with everyone else, I hope he comes back.

Toad is a great char. I had a lot of fun with him on many levels. But more than that, he;s actually a lot deeper than he appears.

I was wondering why I haven't seen you! Toad was great. Best wishes for any future characters!

Not been on the server long but my RP started by Toad was by far the most fun I've had so far. Hope to see him again one day!

I know we didn't interact much but I enjoyed him while on Andy.

She enjoyed watching him squirm but at the same time felt bad for it.

Great job. Much kudos to you!

Thank you for all the kind words. I appreciate it greatly. It is nice to know people enjoy your character. Toad has been brought back! Although few know for now :twisted:

Thanks again for everyone involved with his killing to his "resurrection". I do hope everyone enjoyed the RP that erupted from it.

Bildockin will be saddened at Toad's absence as he considered him a friend and possible convert. Neville however has been hearing rumors Toad was killed and as Toad is a hin, and one who comes off as vulnerable (Nev doesn't know him real well) there will be questions answered soon. And to clarify... Neville uses some tactics in questioning suspects that even Toad might not approve. That said, Toad was (and hopefully still is) awesome.

I only interacted with Toad briefly as Ahmose... but I did enjoy the interaction. I think I scared Toad a bit, which is always curious to me. Ahmose isn't scary, is he?
