Kudos to Scholar Midnight

Post by The GrumpyCat »

With the announcement they're taking a break, I want to drop Scholar a huge Kudos, and a Thanks for all their work on the server. They've done some really tremendous stuff, and I deeply feel it deserves recognition! Thank you for all you've done Scholar! I know this isn't a 'goodbye forever' but even so, I feel your work needs another round of applause.
This too shall pass.

(I now have a DM Discord (I hope) It's DM GrumpyCat#7185 but please keep in mind I'm very busy IRL so I can't promise how quick I'll get back to you.)

I have immense respect for the devs, past and current. Running a server like Arelith isn't an easy task and often, I suspect, thankless.

Thank you for making Arelith such a phenominal place to play, Scholar. I look forward to all the goodies you've in store for us in the future!

Scholar really is a rocket scientist as far as NWN development is concerned. She single handedly upped the performance in a HUGE way. Where the bioware developers and all the other techs out there running servers couldn't. Just one example to indicate how lucky we should be to have her on our side.

If stepping back as admin, makes her more passionate about doing more of these miracles for Arelith, we're in for a treat.

While not a genious, I know a bit of NWN scripting and some programming in general, but what was done here without haks, always surprised me.
Arelith has been in its own league of NWN servers since I have memory of it, improving what was already over the top says it all.
Kudos and thank you!

Servers improved quite a lot because of the "new team". Well done Scholar and co!

Amazing what one can accomplish when they love what they are doing. Arelith most definitely is so very unique to all the other servers out there in every way you can imagine. So many things I have always just grinned at and said to myself.....now that's bad Snuggybear! (Really I said arse but snuggybear will have to do,lol)

The Team, past and current has done awesome work here and kept it a place for us to always come back to. And with a mind like yours Scholar Midnight and the work you have been a part of, thank you, for I am certain while we are at home playing, we see and react to those aditions to the game or changes whatever they may be :)

Chow for now..

I know I am very late with a Kudos to Scholar but better now then never :)
I think everybody can understand your reasons and we all hope you will find a way to focus on those parts of your great work with Arelith which you can enjoy most.
Biggest kudos and great thanks for your work so far!

Also late to the party, but I've had the pleasure of speaking with Scholar IC and OOC, and in both respects I'm blown away. I always learn something new and/or have fun. I'm immensely grateful for all the work server-side. :)
