I would like to thank myself for still bothering to live, and even come on the server from time to time.

Come on guys, be serious!

I would like to appreciate Jackserious, Derpislav, Lostmixup, Hycinth, TopHatPenguin, and KeyWii for helping me get through bad days by just simply being there. Sometimes in life, people try to limit me to prevent me from reaching my goals, and having people that are just there to be your friends instead of being a downer...I really, really appreciate it.

Alright alright, I think Derpislav, coroneljones and Jackserious are the most involved staff i've seen with regard to getting in touch with players, and I think that's great.

Alrighty boys, here we go!

First of all, I'd like to da thank you to tophatpenguin. Wooks is a pinnacle of cm's community and is always helping out. If there was a headmentor position, I wouldn't doubt that he'd get it.

Secondly, jonesmin. Jones has been around on cm for a long ass time, and he's always done good to the community. From my experience, he was very helpful to other staff members and basically taught me how to moderate and his interactions with players ic and ooc have been either funny or helpful in general.

Next, sassy boy. I really didn't get along well with sas a few months ago, but I've grown to like him, and I appreciate what he brings to the community.

Apop deserves a round of applause too, he holds the server together, handles any problems or issues with the utmost maturity and fairness, and is just a cool guy in general.

And derpislav, he's cool too. (just because he's a filthy Slav)

Shout-out to Jackserious, that sexy beast, because he's one of the cool kids and doesn't afraid of anything.






The other guys are cool, too.

CoronelJones. That guy works on the server like 12 hours a day with out proper long breaks, you are lucky to have him here. He is also one of the most chill guys I have ever met on the server. I am glad to be close to his timezone to help him out.

My appreciation too TopHat, as he is possibly one of the most helpful people I've met on the server, and he's generally one of the nicest as well. Takes just about everything with a grain of salt, and is usually in a good mood.

Secondly, really appreciate apop. Despite him running a server, a job, and god knows what else, he's able to keep his head on his shoulders, and attempt to update the server however he can, and treats everyone fairly.

Finally, big round of applause for abby, our wonderful coder. Without her, we probably wouldn't be half of what we are today I'm sure.

Two people I'd really like to call appreciation for is Abby and Joshuu.

While I've only talked with Abby a handful of times, I am aware of all of the time she has put into coding for this game. A lot of the cool and advanced features we have (see: the Alpha) couldn't have happened without the ridiculous amounts of coding that she has done.

The other is Joshuu, dude has some serious artistic talent and, despite not getting as much community exposure as some of the other staff members, has contributed a lot to the vision and aesthetic of this game. I don't envy having to sprite all of those donor items and still help carry the grand scheme of CM forward. Before him marines were still using stetchkins and colored jumpsuits, and I think a look back shows how much work him, along with CM's other spriters have done for what is now one of my favorite games of all time. Also dude knows his Alien lore.

This is not to say that the other staff members aren't great, pretty much every current admin/mod/mentor has been very kind to me and helps protect me from getting griffed by baldies. I just wanted to mention these two because they have a comparatively "behind the scenes" presence.

From what I've experienced and heard this project has been tremendous and I can't wait to see what comes next.

Well, lets get started. I'd first off like to give appreciation to one of my close friends, Jackserious, and I know they've just been recently added onto the mod team but I've known them and talked to them for a long time <3 I enjoy their company and conversation, and they put forth a lot of effort into the server and into dealing with me. Love yah Jack.

I'd also like to give lots, lots, LOTS of appreciation to West (for being so darned awesome and hosting hilarious streams), Key, Vera, Ord, Josh, Jonesy, Lost, Penguin, Monkey and Hyc. You guys help the server out a lot and I really appreciate what y'all do for me and everyone else! I know most everybody else contributes to the server too, and I'm /very/ thankful for all the staff members, but you guys are the ones I've had the most noteworthy interactions with~

Lastly, I've never interacted with them much, but many thanks to Apop and Abby. You guys are the backbone of the server and we all appreciate you.

Thank you too all the staff members and dev team for putting your time and effort into this server and making it what it is today! Love you all.

(I just couldn't miss out on the opportunity to spread some love and appreciation. I haaad to join in.)

Id like to show my appreciation to apop. for hosting the sever and remaining as fair as he is when dealing with the community. Id also like to show my thanks to both him and joshuu for taking the time the time for making the amazing sprites that also help make the experience that much more fun.

I heavily appreciate all of the staff I've seen, which at this point is everyone. They've all been nothing but friendly and civil to me, and are fair and just in their decisions, as well as prompt in their problem solving. Special shoutout a to Hycinth and Feweh for being a cools; Ord, SAS and Jones for always being fair, and being forgiving of some of the minor mistakes I've made; Joshuu and Abby for all the work they put in to make this game as abso-freaking-lutely phenomenal as it is; and naturally, Apop for making it all happen and being in general a mature, down-to-earth, generally excellent host and human being. Thanks for all being awesome, you guys!

Where is appreciation for Abby for the absolutely amazing updates, recently crowned with the firearm overhaul?

The admins on this server are great, as someone who has broken server rules a couple times without having a major effect on the game, I really appreciate the staff who PM and tell you to quit your shit (which i'm happy to do) instead of reaching straight for the banhamer. It's super for new players and really gives the server a sense of community. I specifically remember Apop for this, thanks for bringing me back to life m8, I sure as shit learned my lesson.
