You're all amazing writers, and to have you all contribute to this setting, this narrative while I contribute to your stories, is nothing short of a dream come true.[break][break]

Five years is truly crazy. We'll see how long we last, for there are so many more stories to tell.[break][break]

Shred Zeppelin will be taking the capture pack. This is foreshadowing for how Shred will be captured by the authorities and subject to unlawful mistreatment, ending in him becoming the avatar for Okidogi. This plot will kill the site, and lead to me being actually captured and unlawfully mistreated by discord user Magnetic.

But really though, good job Shiv, you are my little pogchamp.

Claiming the MOVE PACK for . I think I've taken the Capture pack every other year for the Gacha tickets, but that Tera Shard is just too shiny to ignore.

I'm very shy and awkward when being sincere, but Hoenn deserves it so at risk of sounding like a SIMP: I've been on dozens, if not hundreds of RP sites in my writing career and even ran a few of my own, but this is officially my longest tenure on any site for a reason. I've made friends here that I love dearly and written wonderful stories with them. I will go down with this ship. They will find my cold corpse clinging to it, covered in barnacles. In all seriousness, here's to as many more years as Shiv's got in him.

˚ʚ♡ɞ˚ thank all of you so much, especially you shiv and spiral, for making such an exquisite site for all of our characters to come to life on! i will forever be grateful for hoenn, and though it hasn't been that long since i've rejoined and truly got the hoenn experience (or at least the start!) because life has always had its busy kiss for me when i've joined those couple of times in the past four or five years, this place will be something i'll always cherish in my ♡! for all the friendships, all the plots, god i could keep rambling over and over saying thank you but!! i can confidently say that through all the rp sites i've been on, the amount of effort both by shiv, spiral, and the entirety of the community is just so sweet, admirable, and wholesome. it's such a blessing to always have had a place to write, but you guys are stuck with me for the long term now, so cheers to what's to come!

I know I'm quiet, and not the most talkative person, or I'm not around a lot. But I've been here for a year straight now, and I really love this place. I've made good friends, writing is a huge passion, and being in such a community gives me something to strive for. My hope is to double my post count for the 6th anniversary, and write with more people. Befriend more, talk about plot, everything. Hopefully, I'll be in a better place too!

Thank you, Hoenn. Thank you Shiv. Thank you Spiral. Thank you, everyone. I'll be writing with you real soon.

I want to thank you Hoenn for giving me such a wonderful roleplay experience! The community has been nothing but nice and patient with me despite my constant indecisiveness and flakiness. And I honestly can't thank you enough. I've had a lot of fun here, even though I'm not the most active. And I can't believe the site's been around for 5 years! Congrats! Give yourself a pat on the back SHIV, SPIRAL! That's a half of a decade! Imagine! Most sites these days are lucky to last a half a MONTH! I want to thank everyone who has hung out with me. Gave me advice on writing. And just generally let me enjoy my time here despite my worries that I don't belong. Thank you, Hoenn! Here's to five more years!
