Thank you for running the game, Kia!! If I was able to help out even a little bit, I'll be satisfied. It's a bummer you couldn't take part with your man, but I loved the ideas you brought to this round; you're a trooper for churning out those scenarios and roles. Riri was hilarious and we sure fumbled a ton, huh. I hope the round you take part in as a player is as grand as the experience you've given us!
And because you're conveniently here: Oriphi was so good, Anna! She deserved all the attention and love that she got. It was great to see her around, spreading kindness and cheer, and I really appreciated how active and inclusive you were. 10/10, I wish Ori nothing but happiness. Thank you for playing with me!
KIAAAA YOU DID SO GREAT RUNNING THIS ROUND!! Thank you for putting in all of your hard work and also playing the evil potato riri, it was just as hilarious of a host as I expected it to be and then some
KIA thank you so much for running this even as your work tried to kill you!! I never would have guessed because everything ran SO SMOOTHLY, it was amazing.
For my first Ayto, I had such a great time. You picking out those tailor-made roles for the scenarios must have been a ton of work and I appreciated you doing it. Riri was also SUCH A RIOT and while the characters loved to hate on him (it?), I was delighted by everything that it did, LMFAO.
Forcing characters to share beds with each other and to kiss during the truth booth was also diabolical, A+++ work there.
ALSO ANNA!!!! I am so, so glad that I got to finally meet and thread off of Ori via this Ayto round. She is so soft and good and Mom and I am not at all surprised that almost every single character had chemistry with her as a result. She's just so lovely and sweet (and if that makes her easy, too bad, SUCK IT RIRI).
I'm really glad that she and Yukong got to bond a bit, I could have absolutely seen them being a match and Yukong probably would have listed her at the match ceremony if she hadn't stumbled into perfect match in the W1 truth booth, lmfao.
Thank you so much for playing with me! Also, Frogphi was the absolute best, thanks for going all in on that, it was a delight.
wowee friends what a time. i am generally really bad at these but i still want to come on here and say that despite the chaos (and oftentimes because of it) i had a really great time! thank you all for indulging my weird little guy from this cringe canon.
it was, as ever, a real blast!! SHINE ON U CRAZY DIAMONDS ♥♥♥
Wowee, what a time! Lucifer was incredible, Ramey. He was the heart and the chaos at the same time. You really took the zaniness of his character and ran with it while staying true to his soft core. He was everywhere and I enjoyed reading all the flavors of CR he had with everyone. Thank you for playing with me, too!
god lucifer was soooo good. I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT HIM he was a constant joy in the game, an incredible balance between almost disney level sweetness and then real life devil level sass and profanity. HE WAS FANTASTIC.
Ramey!! It is always so much fun getting to play off of one of your characters, and I'm so glad that I got to meet and learn about Lucifer as a result. You really managed to balance his nervous vibes, his dark past, his zany comedic aspects, and the fact that he was the sweetest devil one could imagine, all in one tiny little package.
I really love that he and Yukong got to bond over how much they care for their daughters, too. She is rooting for him and Zhongli!!
Oh, Colleen, Xianyun sure was in it. I loved her and hope her talk with Brenner after the show went as reasonably well as it could have. Mithra was an accidental menace, but know that I enjoyed what threads we had. You have such a way with humor while maintaining the elegance of Xianyun's character, and I enjoyed reading her threads with the cast.
COLLEEEEEN i'm so glad you brought Xianyun!! She was so cute and sweet... I loved watching her earnest journey to try to come to terms with her own hesitations, and the premise of the show, and the desire to sincerely connect with someone else.
Seeing her trying to puzzle things out and do her best all the time was so good... i love her, she deserves so much happiness.
YOU DID SUCH A GREAT JOB WITH THE SHENANIGANS TOO, I hope you had fun with the round and here's to many more good ones! ♥
I loved Xianyun so much! Getting to learn more about her deal through threading with her was such a treat. You did an incredible job with keeping up with her pronoun stuff, which I'm sure was a lot harder than you made it seem, tbh. Her upright nature, her fussiness, the fact that she was such an inventor at heart, her anger and outrage when she saw Brenner's full colors -- you really packed a lot into a short amount of time and gave me a full glimpse into her character, and I'm so glad I got CR with her with Yukong as well. It felt like they had a lot in common, sad Hoyoverse lesbian moms let's goooo.
JAEEEEE you were such a wonderful presence this whole game, as you always are, BUT EVEN MORE SO by helping out on the modding end of things. Thank you for always being there to pin the worst things in chat and encourage everyone into chaos.
Mithra was such a hilarious little creature. Truly just a creature to the extreme. But it was so fun to see how he engaged with everyone so differently and brought such a wildly chaotic element to the whole experience. HE WAS... DOING HIS BEST (???) IN HIS OWN WAY.
anyway you were great ilu you're always a shining star
SWEET CAL, thank you for your kind words. As you could see, I take my pinning privileges seriously.
Mithra is always doing his best with questionable results . . . I laughed every time Aurelia shut him down. Aurelia was so good, Cal. She could take charge on anything and I would follow her. You did some hard-core mathematics on the final week and I have nothing but mad respect for you. As always, you were incredible! Thank you for putting up with Mithra's nonsense and playing with us.
oh boy THANK YOU FOR PUTTING UP WITH THIS ASSHOLE and for all the hilarity that happened in general. this round was truly a wild ride and it would not have been possible without this lovely group of people.
I HAD FUN AS ALWAYS... THANK YOU FOR MAKING MARTHA CANON
Brenner was so great, Jen! The conflict he introduced was fascinating and (unfortunately for him) hilarious. Absolutely buck wild, would read again. You're amazing at creating chemistry with any character you play, which I think speaks for you as a writer. I enjoyed every tag, whether it was for Mithra or another character. Thank you for playing with us!
IT TRULY WAS A WILD RIDE....... i'm so glad for brenner's entire everything in the blanket fort. That was just the sort of reality tv show drama that drives this whole format forward.
HE WAS HONESTLY HILARIOUS... i loved his weird co-worker relationship with Aurelia and I'm so glad that in the end, he got Martha. Who won? Not Brenner. As it should be.
ANYWAY THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE FUN THREADS, JEN!!
Jen, your ability to bring a character like Brenner to a game and just COMMIT and go all in on it and make it work and be IC and everything is just so impressive to me. The fact that it eventually blew up with people understanding his true nature and him still arguing that he wasn't a monster was so fascinating and fun too. That entire blanket fort incident was such popcorn material and I loved it, and you rolled with the punches so well too.
I loved Yukong and Brenner's weird CR as well. Tbh, negative CR is something that I don't ever get enough of, so it was really fun to play around with this time while both of them continued to put up with each other for the greater good of trying to win. Such a blast, thank you!
This was my first Ayto and you all were so welcoming and helpful and made it such a blast! Thank you for continuing to thread with me even after Yukong was booted to the honeymoon suite. I was so glad to thread with people I hadn't in a while and to make new friends!
Whenever another round happens, I will hopefully be there with bells on.
Sweet Court, we shipped Yukong off so soon, but I was glad you stuck around while we floundered to find the rest of the answers. Yukong was lovely and thought-provoking—qualities that were enhanced and brought to life by your eloquence. Now that you've gotten a taste of the honeymoon life, I hope next round you get to flounder with everyone else and see the craze from the other side. Thank you for playing with us!
I wanted to make the most of my first Ayto, so I'm glad that I was still able to participate pretty well even after finding that perfect match so early! That was still... so wild. I definitely intend on coming back to next round, whenever it happens, and I won't volunteer for first week truth booth this time, lmfaoooo.
Thank you so much for everything you did as well, Jae! It was a joy playing off Mithra, I truly never knew what to expect which was such a delight. I really got the sense that there was a lot going on under the surface and that he just didn't really know how to express that stuff, or didn't care to, which made threads with him always interesting and unexpected in the best way. I love that Yukong and him got to find some common ground despite that, too.
And thank you again for everything you did to help with running things, like with the memes/charts and pinning our nonsense, etc! Everything ran so smoothly.
COUUUURT i'm so sorry we shipped yurelia off to the honeymoon suite so early. YOU MADE A NEW RECORD HAPPEN IN ALL OF THE ROUNDS, BUT AT WHAT COST...
Regardless, Yukong was so lovely and I adored her. She's so sweet and I care so much for her... she deserves all of the happiness!! Also her chemistry with the entire cast was so good. Truly she was the perfect choice for a round like this.
THANK YOU FOR PLAYING YURELIAS WITH ME TOO!! I'm sorry I slowed down so hard after getting sick, but I still love them so much and will treasure their cute cr forever. I'm so glad you joined this ayto round!! You'll definitely have to come to the next one so that you can not be shipped off week 1 and get the Full Experience HAHA
DON'T BE SORRY, it got to be a new record in Ayto history and I will take that little feather in my cap! Yukong and Aurelia hanging out on the sidelines and doing their best to help while being frustrated they couldn't do more was such a great vibe as well.
I loved getting to know more about Aurelia through our threads too! Her drive to Win, her need to better her battle skills, how composed and organized she was, and the fact that she managed to be pretty laidback even through all that... All of it was so good, and I felt a bond between her and Yukong immediately, so it was great that they ended up being a match! I want to believe that they visit each other and Yukong shows Aurelia around Space after everything.
AND DON'T WORRY, I ALSO GOT SICK. Why did our bodies do this to us...
But yes, I definitely plan to come back next time and I will abstain from week 1 truth booth so that I can participate in all the craziness full-throttle, heheh.
after so long, my milf-chasing dreams have finally come true. thank you to everyone for helping to make it happen! i've been looking forward to throwing manuela into some sort of dating shenanigans for a long time, and i appreciate everyone to humored her nonsense and bounced off of her throughout the game. i'm really glad i had the chance to play with some new faces this time around. bless our mess.
i really meant what i said in disco last night; i am SO behind in rp upkeep things like love beam charging, so if you get jumpscared by adoration in a month...know that it's because i just have so many feelings that need to be condensed into a beam.
Your milf-chasing dreams came true, but at what cost . . . My heart cries for Manuela every day.
I appreciate you for going as hard as you did with Manuela. You really brought out her depth, and each tag carried so much feeling from her end. I was and am still sad that she didn't get the romance she was craving, but she was stunning and I loved our CR and the places it went, tumultuous as it was. Thank you for playing with me, Shay!
SHAYYYY manuela was so good... what a lovely lady who deserved the world and did not get it. she did get to have sexy chemistry with many characters, but at what cost. At What Cost!!
Regardless, as always it was a joy to have you in an ayto round to play with and stalk all of your threads! I love how much wrangling Manuela ended up doing. She was so tired but you can't take the schoolteacher out of her in the end, I see.
ANYWAY!! I'm so glad you got to play her because she was perfect, the end.
SHAY. It was such a delight to get to know you (and to know more of Manuela) via this Ayto round. You were always cracking me up in the discord, and you were so involved and engaged from start to finish, which was great. Your ability to roll with the punches as Manuela got served a number of Ls really showed your adaptability as well.
I loved threading with you (if you didn't notice, given how many times I tagged you and we were juggling 3+ threads) and I feel like I got a great sense of who Manuela is as a character in no time at all. I loved reading her insights on things, I feel like she was pretty good at reading and understanding people which made her threads interesting to stalk... and also hilarious, lbr.
I hope she gets to find true love one day......
BUT YES, such a blast to meet you and I hope we get to play again at some point, whether through another Ayto round or a shared game.
I haven't really short term gamed much, and I wasn't completely sure what to expect from this, but it ended up being an extremely fun experience. And a great way to get back into writing Phoenix, after years away from the character. I want to thank everyone for being so nice and welcoming, and for making my first AYTO such a fun and chaotic ride! You are all lovely.
I'm glad you had a good time, Gore! You did amazingly in the game with Phoenix. Your humor was always on point, and his earnestness made me root for him despite, uh, Mithra's everything whenever they interacted. His inner monolgue was the best. Thank you for taking a chance and playing with us!
GOOORE!! I'm so glad you ended up coming and bringing Nick! He was so perfect... what a sweet boy who was doing his best. He and Lucifer were single-handedly repping the good boy side of this cast, honestly.
I'm so glad that you had a good time! I loved watching Nick participate in the discussions, doing his best all the time because he's so used to making arguments but not so used to those arguments being about ~love~. It was so sweet and IC and perfect.
ANYWAY HE WAS GREAT! YOU WERE GREAT! THANKS FOR COMING TO AYTO!!
Gore! I'm so glad that you came and brought Nick, it was nice to have a little newbie group alongside you and Colleen tbh! Made me feel less silly when I was like "oh, is that how it works?" or whatever.
ANYWAY, your Phoenix was such a delight. I cracked up at his tags so many times, the inner dialogue was perfect, but he was also such a sweetie and just out here doing his best. I would have never guessed you hadn't played him in a while, he was just so spot-on and I'm always so delighted to see AA characters around. What a good boy...
Glad to see that he got his A Tourney's Badge back in the end too. IMPORTANT.
Never apologize for being cringe. We loved every second of it and Jin will always have a special place in my heart.
Mithra absolutely bombed first impressions, which makes me cry and laugh to think about even now, but I was also glad they had a nicer conversation at the final hour. Putting them aside, you really went all out, Aya. The limericks! The sentimental speeches! The sheer dedication—you deserve a standing ovation. You don't shy away from a single thing and I appreciate the heck out of that. Zhongli was as much of a delight as all of your previous characters; his whirlwind romance with Lucifer was so soft. Thank you for playing with us for another crazy round!
Jaeeeeeeeeeee. That week one for Mithra was so rough!!! lmaooo
But I am really glad and overjoyed that they got to have a decent conversation at the end and find some common ground. You were lovely as always! And thank you for all the work you did.
But bwaaaa. Thank you <3 <3 <3 Kia gave me a challenge and Zhongli wasn't going to stop talking regardless. So it was time to learn to write somewhat decent limericks. And yes. Lucifer and Zhongli. *clutches chest* The lads.
But again, thank you so much for all you did and your weird little guy. I did love him a lot <3
embrace the cringe. where would we be in these ayto rounds without it? LOST, THAT'S WHERE.
anyway!! Zhongli was so good and so funny... old man grandpa doing his best, probably. Every time he poked his nose into a thread to say something off the cuff, I lost it. Every incredible limerick was worth framing and keeping forever. YOU DID A GREAT JOB with every bit of zany shenanigans this game threw at you and him.
I'm so glad he and Lucifer ended up finding cute immortal romance together. I'm love them. My ship.
ANYWAY!! all of that said, you were as great as ever, Aya!! Thanks for all of the fun shenanigans!
Aya! I'm so glad that I got the chance to play with you during this Ayto round. Zhongli was so great and the fact that you just went all in on the limerick thing was so impressive. I truly would have just given up and cried in that situation, but you stepped up to the challenge and then some. Also, I was truly impressed by your grasp of all the Genshin lore. For a character like Zhongli, it feels like there's so much to keep track of, and yet you were even able to weave those events into poems. Just wild.
I really enjoyed Zhongli's overall vibes, the drama of him trying to keep the truth of himself secret and then that all blowing up in his face because Riri doesn't let us have nice things, heheh. Plus, his bond with Lucifer was just so perfect. All the sad immortal feelings with him and Xianyun were just A++, too.
And he and Yukong were so great and I loved them bonding over their respective cities and promising to visit each other. In my heart, that absolutely happens.
