| sixbane | honestly, i joined VOK right when i was beginning to get bored of CS, i found no interest in it anymore because many of the friends i had on here slowly stopped coming online. i found VOK out of pure coincidence. at first, i wasn't sure what i was getting into, i wasn't quite sure what an arpg was, but i decided to join anyway. i began with getting my founder from the wonderful MySpoons and i knew from that moment that i would be invested in this community for a long time. i later began to tryout as an artist, i still hadn't interacted much with the community at that point, which i was afraid would be my downfall as i tried out, but sixbane was very welcoming of me and after around 4 designs welcomed me onto the staff team-- which has been such an honor. the staff team is like my second family and i love you all a lot. i am so thankful for sixbane for this wonderful opportunity and for being an amazing friend. you run this arpg very smoothly and i can tell you love this community very much because of all of the thought you put into everything; whether that be with the trait list, leveling up prompts, or just with your gorgeous lion designs-- which i know from experience can be a difficult task. you make this community so warm and friendly, which i can tell is a direct reflection of who you are. thank you again for everything you do for this community.

| the entire staff team | as i mentioned in sixbane's compliment, i love you all a lot and you guys are seriously like my second family. we each bring something unique to this community-- whether that be with our unique design styles, dedication to the safety and overall function of this community, or with something as simple as archiving, which is vital for this community to run smoothly. i love the vibe we all have together, we're super chilled out people and are super friendly and supportive of one another. you guys were my first group of friends on VOK, and i've loved every second talking with you guys and interacting with you in this community. i hope to continue to grow in my friendship with each and every one of you.

@Sixbane
Six!! You put so much work into this species it’s incredible! You’re great at organizing and are super mature and run the adopts smoothly, and pretty much who we have to thank for all this lion bonanza!! Idk how you manage it so well, also putting out so much art with both the quality and the quantity?? literally the only person I know capable of that. Thank you for starting up VOK because I'm really happy to have found a community I'm really comfy being part of.
@bed time
Honestly my heart got the flutters when you complimented me!! Gosh you’re sweet and I love that, thank you <33 When I found out two of the designs of mine you have (amaya and russet) were mates, I just thought that was the cutest thing ever?? Their interactions in the orphan cub prompt were fun to read! It reminded me of why I liked making adopts in the first place: they become their own characters and 'come to life' through other people's hands, which is so cool to see. It's really encouraging and I hope to keep making more designs for everyone into the future! :heartemojihere:
@DraconisSumeris
Draaac, you're super fun to talk to!! Chatting with you is really chill and comes pretty easy to me (which is hard 'cos i suck at conversation most of the time lol). I'm glad you're an artist now because your designs are. Really really good (my faves have to be the red husky and the #341 founder, because legit they are stunning). Also your dragon love has been reviving my love for them too and I'm definitely going to be drumming up more dragon content, so thank u >:}
