A few words for Smallhacker and Aqualakitu

I seldom ever have extensive conversations with you any more, but I have continued to admire the exceptional characteristics you have exhibited over the months and years.

Just to name several. You're quiet. Yes, I know that much of the time you're either busy working on other projects or helping your parents or simply not present at the computer. But there are those times when you're clearly available to speak, and yet voluntarily refrain from participating in our bizarre discussions. That is an admirable trait, and only seen, among adolescents particularly, in those with outstanding intelligence. It indicates a willingness to stand out from the rest, and an ability to maintain your composure that others, including myself, usually cannot.

You've accomplished a whole lot. Whether it be various hacks you've made in Lunar Magic, or custom bosses you've designed, or the dozens upon dozens of amazing sprites you've produced, or the countless games you've beaten, your achievements already number higher than I personally could hope to reach years from now. Every time I view your profile, or read some of my favorite posts of yours, I am reminded of how much you've done over the years. Most of the kids I know in real life have virtually nothing to claim as achievements of their own, other than trivial academic ones such as grades on tests or assignments.

You possess extraordinary qualities which enable you to maintain control of others. By this I'm not referring to manipulation or exploitation. Your calm online demeanor, polite and friendly attitude, openness, and maturity render you extremely effective leaders. It is difficult to keep a group of online friends attending the same site or forum when they can easily choose not to, and it is especially tricky to get them to adhere to the established principles without desiring power or status for themselves. Certain people merely have the qualities which allow them to do this, and I have much respect for these kinds of personalities. You're some of them.

I realize at this point that what I have written was much more than just "a few words", but it would have sounded somewhat suspicious and perhaps discomforting to the overlords to call this thread "A comprehensive examination of all of the overlords' exemplary qualities".

So anyway, ITT: We all offer a few words of kindness beyond the usual "<3 Smallhacker and Aqualakitu" or "hi hihihi Smallhacker and Aqualakitu ^O^".
