Congratulations, everyone :prost: :cooler:

Here's some of the comment the voters wrote:

Miriel Hana: It can only be explained with the fact that she truly feels alive. She is so masterfully played that emotes jumps out as true emotions and reactions, not just simple text. She has also meant a lot for the development of my own character, in terms of depth and even personal life. That "real feel", has to me, rubbed of.

Damar Ogdem - during the years I have encountered Damar numerous times and I am always impressed by his demeanor, integrity and actions. Somehow he always manage to make the right and thought out choices, which of course says a lot about his player. I'd love to DM for someone like Damar!

Thorfinn is simply wonderful. The perfect Dru'Elite with a history full of accomplishments no one would ever guess.

Raen. It is impossible to log out after an RP session with her without a smile on your face.

Cinder, the best played paladin since Vian Valorian.

Selash makes the world go round in small panicked circles.

Miriel (Hana) Xilo is a bitch.

Oorayv is an often overlooked evil character, very intelligently played.

Bedlam, a crazy son of a gun with the desire to see things blown up. What more could you ask for?

Damar is played perfectly. He is the evil archmage all evil mages look up to and has a sense of humour that is unparalelled yet appreciated by only a few.

Miriel is simply full of non-stop emotion and intricacy.

Sher'cha is a sweet character that plays a shy bard very well. She writes her own unique songs for events and erf's have been submitted with her works to be published.. :)

Miriel has had a well played and interesting progression through the time I have RP'd with her. I have been able to see various sides of her character and always felt that she was portrayed in a very convincing way that was enjoyable to watch.

Ayoun is great too. Very grim, hostile and spooky. His player finds creative ways to make a clearly evil character work in social/adventuring situations. This character was an original since his inception, and just gets better with age.

Raen IS Avlis. Can I vote for her twice?

Aerie is an amazing character to play with. You never know where she'll poke you from.

Ayren Milen. Most players can only dream about playing their character as well as Nob does with Ayren.

Raen is someone i can always look to for great examples of how to improve my RP.

Sephira has been through a lot over this year. Traveling all the way from an Angadarian to a Gorethite and dealing with all the BS in between it.

Staahl is teh shit. I'd tell you everything, but then he'd kill you and make it look like I did it.

Father Kurt... classic evil nobleman. Don't we need more of those?

Ayoun the dark, he is truely my favorite for rpoty. Not only does he brings to life vivd and exciting characters, but he makes damn sure that everyone who pays with him has a good time. No matter if his pc is good or evil, everyone will enjoy an encounter with him.

Sylux is a mature character, with well developed strengths and weaknesses. I always look forward to RPing with him and seeing what direction those attributes will take.

Lucien is also a very intelligently played evil character, and a pleasure to be around.

Hert is consistently well played. He's always huge amounts of fun and is truly a 3 dimensional character (even if he does my head in).

Smeec - The master crafter and as stoic as they come. Consistently played character that has every merchant on edge! His RP is flawless.

What can really be said of Grace? Morran married the broad!

Losin is a joy... always IC, from her good moods to her bad! Iffin she starts yellin, you better do what she says, or hope that you can run faster than she does (the later is not likely).

Thanks God for Vesdrac!

Alexyzar - Solid, dependeable, and a character with much more personality than meets the eye.

As I've said before, Cale is a scout who scouts.

To me Nawen epitomizes what it is to be a warrior. She has a softer side she only exposes to friends and the rest of the time is tough as nails.

Let's face it: Sinomi still scares the shit out of people.

Garek - who else consistently plays a dwarf with dwarven attitude and mannerisms. A charm to RP with and develope storyline if you are lucky enough.

The White Kobold: hell yes.

Athnook is great. A good character, constantly evolving, dark and foreboding, yet unexpectedly humorous and naive. It is easy to lose myself in the game when RPing with him.

Flenken Jolliemausch: The borderline insane/genius Flenken literally has me rolling on the floor laughing my ass off. Where does he get it all from!? Insanely entertaining, from the journals to his IG self. A masterpiece of a character.

I love the way Tor is being played. Returning after a long absence, no war to fight, and feeling frustrated at his inability to adapt. Kudos!

The first time I saw Tralil Breck in game, I thought he was a DM character: he totally embodied everything I thought an archmage should be.

Kalgar Darthvord is my favorite maniac of 2007.

Filch - A druid of Pelar who lives in his own little goblin world. The intuitive (to a gobbo) names he gives people and things he encounters are hilarious and plain awesome.

Hyacinth Pike is the perfect young paladin. She is dedicated to her duties but still so naive in the ways of the world.

Kegnar is an exemplary dwarf, teachin folks to mine, helping lost folks find their way, beating Ursula to death.... I think that Keg's player is a dwarven miner in RL.

Varion has done some awesome work reviving the Avengers. Great RP, consistent character, and just too much fun to pick on...er..play with.

Thralia is my characters soulmate.. she makes him do all sorts of crazy things.. from fighting undead dragons and liches to making 1000's of arrows.. she is just like hi always wanting to do the right things just because its the right thing.

I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello?), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voice-mail. What did you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?

Many thanks to everyone who have shared in the drama, and have supported me on the long and winding road towards mastering English as a foreign language. I had to say it. There, I said it. Done saying it. Will not repeat it anytime soon. Probably.

Oh dear. "RPotY" ... I read this as "potty" ... :o
