You know, someday— maybe— I'll actually read this from the beginning, if only because it's fantastically written in the most improbably glorious manner. Think about what happens when you duct tape a bunch of schizophrenics together and make a transcript of the shit they say. Oh, and one of them is Mormon, and another is Mexican, and another is the Hindu pantheon incarnate in one person (hence the schizophrenia). And when all's said and done, you read it and it makes fucking sense. To whatever goon thinks monkeys writing Shakespeare is a minor miracle, I say you've been one-upped by Khan for all eternity.

And all that when I've only been lurking for half this thing's existence.

Thanks mate.

I'm glad to know this was a success. You liked our endings?

I would if they weren't endings. Of course, my favourites are the ones where the world isn't eaten by the eldritch shark or some such skulduggery because there's the impression that the story continues. But insofar as everyone dies, the universe links out of existence, and the fat lady sings, that was a damn fine wrap-up, one of the better ones I've seen in a hell of a long time. I expected nothing less from you.

I've been lurking on and off of this RP ever since I caught wind of it back in 2013 whenever I had the chance and you know what? I'll say it: I fucking loved this RP. So many ideas, so many plotlines, so many good stuff that's there. The endings were amazingly written, and you guys matured into really good writers throughout all this.

I've been reading a couple more excerpts today and the OOCs and I am just amazed at how well this community has been so close and the ICs have been pretty well written. You guys have placed a pretty high bar for future RP players on P2TM, and I thank you for that.

If it helps, there were literally trillions of years lived before the Omniverse ended, so a lot of stories happened in the middle.

We were really, honestly, truly just fucking around and making penis jokes. It somehow became quality.

Even in the disorder there is order, is what I am fond of saying

What I especially like about the ending is that it seems very much like cheating. Y'know, like a Steven Moffat, "I was inside a robot the whole time, motherfucker!"-style "Fuck you" ending.

Uriel turns up out of nowhere. It's fantastic, and is naturally accompanied by punk rock guitar riffs. (That might just be because I'm listening to "Kiss With a Fist" as I write this.)

This was fun. Very fun.

I'm quite worried for those of you who have been lurking for years, though. I actively participated, so redemption is beyond me, but you all still have a chance.

Sir Winthrop Eddleton shall ride again upon the winds of time!

Amusingly, he was actually the character I considering applying with back when Khan invited me here. Wouldn't that have been a sight?

I think he would fit in just fine.

I didn't vote for him, but thanks. He's also a Catholic.

If you do read this from the beginning, please skip all mentions of Nigga Bear. For your own sake.

I have no idea how my eejit of an author insert became Yorkshireman Otto Von Bismarck and the most powerful man to ever live.

I didn't know we had that many lurkers.

Khan should have followed my lead and made a poll for lurkers.

Can we just recall that this was a vaguely legitimate rule at one point?

"Unless I am notified beforehand, if a player is inactive for three days, I will take over his or her character(s) if it is ever needed to advance the plot, and the player will receive a warning. If the player is inactive for five days, unless he or she can justify his or her absence, he or she will be removed from the RP." —Khan

Things start to make more sense when you realize that Khan himself was removed after a period of inactivity and I led a brief interregnum that inevitably collapsed into anarchy.

So, Khan is our Alexander?
