Dr Ciel: Fine you can be first.
Ununhexium: You're my best friend on the forums for a reason. We both had rough starts but we grew together every step of the way as well. Everyone deserves a right hand man like you.
boltsandbombers: When I first started putting in the effort to improve, you were the very first person to offer to help. I appreciate you always being there for me. Proud to say that I'm your apprentice.
Minus: See above. Only you were the second one ;)
Recreant: I'm still your personal fangirl; don't worry. It's been amazing to watch you grow over the past year, and I'm glad that I gave you the encouragement to stay and improve.
HeaLnDeaL: Man, I remember the days when we were just randoms who played on the CAP ladder. My, have times changed since then!
Mysteria: #BadgeTwins4Life. In all seriousness, though, just like Hex, we were awful together and then we were successful together. The Shellder Smuggler and wh0sy0urpapa are no more, and I'm glad!
Rhythms: Proud to be your mentor. Go out there and give 'em hell!
anto: I still can't thank you enough for teaching me how to HTML.
Jukain and
Vacate: Before I had anto, I had you guys. Thanks for giving me a start on my coding journey.
dodmen,
Hikari,
King UU,
NV, and
IronBullet: Remember when I used to dabble in UU? Yeah, didn't think so. Even so, it's a fun tier backed up with an even better community, and I'd love to start playing it again. Cya during the SPL 7 midseason (ok, not really).
Little Hulk: Teach me how to Firebot. Actually, don't bother.
Trickster,
nizzyd18,
f(x), and
MARCU5theBAW5: The lobby might be a dangerous place, but you guys are nonetheless fun to talk to amidst the shitstorm.
Albacore: We always interacted in CAP and on PS when we were noobs. And now we see each other every day again in AW! It's been fun working alongside you all this time.

GatoDelFuego,
SuperJOCKE, and
Calm Pokemaster: I'll never forget when I read those fateful words: "We've decided to add you to the team." Thank you for allowing me to pursue my new passion on the forums.
Misaka Mikoto: Another one of my biggest cheerleaders. I owe it to you for not retiring in July.
Yagura: Thanks again for teaching me everything there is to know about LC. You are an amazing tutor. Wish I coulda done better in the Open though.
Merritt: Never thought I'd ever meet another Smogonite irl. Glad it's you though. Re-introduce me to LC sometime y/n
P Squared: I still remember when I first met you after you amchecked my Krilowatt analysis in January. I must say that I'm not surprised to see how far you've come after that! Moreover, ever since I've been on the team, you've always been there to give me advice, so I owe it to you for making me a better checker. And regardless of what's happened recently, you've always been fun to talk to and still are.
The Dutch Plumberjack: Same as above pretty much.
cant say: I still use the GP stamp that you made me every single day. Did you get to the new one yet though?
Bughouse: I owe it to our one-on-one pep talk back last November as the day when I set my sights on shaping up.
Laurel: Wait... ok. Sorry Bughouse, but it was actually Laurel's thread back in January where I REALLY started putting in work on Smogon. The immediate results were mixed, but I'm happy with where I am now. Couldn't have done it without you.
McMeghan: Funk Jr. at your service.
The Goomy: Thanks again for trying to teach me NU and letting me use your SPL team on the ladder. I wouldn't have these 256 gray pixels in my postbit without you.
DetroitLolcat: You were the very first person that I ever looked up to on this site. Thanks for giving me someone to admire and emulate throughout my work.
