It has only been receantly I have been speaking and Rping with Will. Just by that I have seen how much of a great guy Will really is and I am looking forward for great friendship with him here. When I log in I hope that he will be loggd in aswhele. He is an outstanding RPer and a incrediably dedicated individual. He works hard and does his best to solve any problem. With out him I truley do beleave expansion would burst into flames and perish. lol

OFF: This topic is not linked with any ongoing storylines. Therefore, do not involve any mission talk here as it would not be seen as valid. This topic is opened with the intention of gathering our people to celebrate Will Karelia receiving his medal. Therefore, you may also post here with any of your characters you like, even if they can't be here because they are on a mission - as it is not counted for the storylines. Therefore, your characters continue to play their role in the actual storylines simultaneously, without mentioning this gathering.

Congrads, Will. It seems like sence joining almost 2 years ago you've been the one person who's always been there to help me. I hope for a long and prosperous future as your XO. And i'm convinced that our best days are still ahead.
Now, Did someone mention Beer and Peanuts? (lol)

(You will get engaged...) J/K Yates... LOLSeriously though, piece of advice: don't rush things, find someone that you can stand to be with for more than 10-20 minutes..... 2nd: Be yourself, i'm sure you've had people tell you this, but its true (this is the best advice i ever got) anywho, back to whats at hand.

All humor aside, I'm really honored. I never realized that when I signed on almost two years ago that ExpansionFleet would become this important to me. To be honest, I thought I would get bored of it in a week. Now, it's actually quite an influential part of my life. I consider a few of you some of my best friends.
David, you even helped me through some of the rockier parts of my engagement to Crystal. For that, I don't know how to thank you. I only hope that some day, I'll be able to return the favor.
Anyway, here I am, a hell of a lot deeper into this than I ever thought I would be. It wasn't until today that I really realized how much I've changed since joining this website, and how much of that change has been due to the people here. Several of you have seen me through my ups and downs, and there's always been someone there to celebrate with, or to help me out.
Thank you all.

Gotta say Will, since joining years ago (not sure if i was here before you or not, seems to be a memory lapse around then), i also thought that expansionfleet would be like a fish out of water, just flopp around and fade into the back ground, but you have helped so much. Congrats (and Congrats with the engagement, didn't realize you were engaged )
I've been engaged also, for the last 3.5 years with my awesome fiance, Susan. We are looking to marry in about a year...

Hmmm... how you can repay me for my help huh? How about you and Crystal fly over to Europe to attend our wedding feast this summer. Just kidding, I know you probably won't be able to, with a third family member coming up
But seriously, helping each other out in the hour of need - that's what friends are for.
