Hey, guys!
Three years ago today (if you're in EST or ahead), I made AWRP 1:50 PM. At the time, I was a bored 12-year-old who'd just gotten into roleplaying, and I adored the Warriors series. I thought it would be fun, I thought it would get popular and I'd make a lot of friends, and I thought I could have something that had my own rules and traditions eventually.
I was right. I've had a lot of fun, made a ton of friends, and have improved my writing skills far beyond what they would probably be if I hadn't made this forum (seriously, just check out my oldest roleplay post in the archives right here). I also know that I've grown a lot in other ways - I've matured so much just from running AWRP. I've learned about people, cats, and so many other things that I can't even really begin to list it all.
I definitely couldn't have done it without help, though, so to everyone on AWRP, so thank you guys. I'm glad I've had the pleasure to have run a forum with all of you on it.
Hey, look, I even found the threads celebrating AWRP's first and second birthdays!
Click here to see the 1st. ^^ There weren't many people around for that one because AWRP was nearly dead. We had less than 10 members on daily at that point, and by the time I got my act together and stopped playing Minecraft every second, I think there were.. 2-4 active members outside of myself. We never dropped to less than 2 members on, but at one point, that was all there was: myself and one other. Scary to think we nearly died.
People still around from before AWRP's 1st birthday: Foxpaw, @goldenbird, .masquerade., Lotus, Sand, Splash
Next up, we have the 2nd birthday thread, in which there was a lot more activity! Wow, amusingly enough, I said almost the same thing about my personal growth, and I haven't looked at that thread in a year. Heh, some things just don't change.
People still around from AWRP's 2nd birthday (not tagging the same people as above): :-Misa-:, Echo (from her previous account), @fawnstar, @cin, ♚sᴄᴏᴜʟ, ☀Dawnfeather☀, [Acro.] (EXACTLY ON OUR BIRTHDAY. GOOD JOB, ACRO!), ⓐⓜⓑⓔⓡ, Legit.
That's a much bigger list, and I fervently hope that there will be many more of you on next's years list should I make another one! I really hope you guys stick around with AWRP for as long as you possibly can, and once again, thank you all for a great 3 years.
Cheers for all the fun times we've had and the innumerable more to come!
CELEBRATION! June 26 - July 3
To celebrate, we will be doing the following...
*I will be giving $5,000 to everyone who posts on this thread!
*As suggested by Golden, I will also be posting various threads around the forum (the links will be edited into this post as I make them) for everyone to talk about their favorite AWRP-related stuff!
-Favorite characters thread
*Each Clan will have competitions posted. Kits will be free to roam that part of the territory where the adult cats can supervise while the apprentices and warriors compete. I will be using random.org to select a post that contains the "winning" cat. The roleplayer will receive $500 and their cat will go down in the AWRP records!
*FREE CHARACTERS for today. Be especially sure not to poke at the staff about applications, though, because we're going to be overloaded with things to do!
*KIT BOOM! For the next week, each litter will be rolled for 1-8 kits for free and we will be using the greenleaf health rolls, so your kits will have very low chances of being unhealthy/stillborn! Please note that this does not mark out the rule of only being able to adopt one kitten per litter in a Clan that has no medicine cat apprentice. Please check the high positions thread to see which Clans have medicine cat apprentice positions open.
*Want to help AWRP grow more in order to make more friends and have more roleplaying opportunities? Vote on each of these links every day! For the birthday celebration, each day of voting will grant you $500 leaves instead of $50!
