Your fellow players love kudos

And it's so easy to send them through the request tool, either anonymously or with the name of your character: http://www.armageddon.org/request

With the battle that's raging, it's an especially poignant time to send kudos to the players of characters who've died, just to let them know: Hey, I appreciated playing with you, you had an impact on my character, have fun as you move on. A player doesn't have to be the l33test RPer to deserve a kudos--they just need to have mattered to your character in some way (good or bad), or have been enjoyable to hang with, or have helped really make even one scene for you. People like to know that their characters will be remembered and that what they've done has had some impact.

Besides, we all know the imms don't have enough work to do. *runs from burnination*

This is so true, guys.  I had a severe low self image of my own rp regarding my last pc and having two kudos sent in about my rp has to have been the highlight of that entire character.  You'd be amazed at what a few kind words can do.

I've sent one :) to my character's lover-thing on the front lines. I doubt the imms will let the one bit through though, which will tell the player who sent the kudos.

So just to make sure they do know, you posted the info here! :)  Neato.

Well, there's tons of characters with lover-things on the front lines, and I didn't actually say which bit would make it obvious. I see nothing terribly IC-sensitive in my post.

I was under the impression that you don't have to do your kudos
anonymously, though that is what the staff defaults to if you don't make it
explicit whether or not your kudos should be anonymous.  They might check
to see if you're giving some sort of IC info or some jazz but otherwise I have
no idea why they wouldn't say which character it came from, especially if one
is dead.

Well, mine's not, so hopefuly neither is dead. Or mine will be quite put out. And the line isn't terribly IC, just tells which character I play, no more. So maybe it will get through. Kinda hoping it does. I don't know, whatever, new subject.

I've never gotten a kudoa and it makes me sad.  :(

I always indicate which character the kudos came from, though of course I don't attach my GDB or account name or anything. The character info is fine, as the imms have previously said, and they always send it through for me just as-is. I prefer to send the kudos with my character name because then I can say "thanks for the great scene about XYZ" or "the relationship between our characters had a great impact, thanks" etc.

And Morgan--don't worry about not getting kudos. It doesn't really mean that you're not loved and appreciated. People are just forgetful about these things.

Heck, I have to prompt my RL -husband- to give me compliments and thanks when I deserve them. So it doesn't worry me that people I don't even know beyond their character don't do it.

I often get so caught up in the action that I forget to send kudos.  Doesn't mean I love the action any less!

Oh....I have a number to send out, when you all die.

Hint hint? Die quick.
I tripped and Fale down my stairs. Drink milk and you'll grow Uaptal. I know this guy from the state of Tenneshi. This house will go up Borsail tomorrow. I gave my book to him Nenyuk it back again. I hired this guy golfing to Kadius around for a while.

We don't have any problem telling the player of Amos that the player of Kali enjoyed playing with them.

If, on the other hand, Kali phrased it as:
"From the player of Kali to the player of Amos, I really enjoyed playing with you, etc etc and it really sucks that my character died."
(we'd check to see if Amos knew that ICly)
or
"Man, it sucks that Amos died, but to die to a _______ was one of the coolest things I've ever seen."
(Amos's player might not know how he died)
or
"Even though I was totally betraying you the entire 10 years we were mates, I'm really going to miss having Amos around."
(yeah, that would get censored)

You would have been so totally showered with kudos if the request system had been implemented 1-2 years ago.  :P

I think everyone, their sister, and their kank wanted Ghosts's lovebabies.
