Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Dec 2022 Compliment

Dec 2022 Compliment Challenge thread! 

I'm sure y'all have some idea of what a compliment thread is (basically post compliments about CBers you admire), we've had a bunch in the past; but can you win this compliment challenge?!?! The rules are as follows: 

1.) Try to give at least 3 different compliments to each (+2 each, but the more in-depth the better! You might even get bonus points!!)

2.) Try to compliment at least 1 CBer who hasn't been mentioned yet (+3 each)

3.) Think of something great about the CBer who posted right before you, and post it (+3.)

4.) The maximum amount of CBers you can mention in one post is 10, and you cannot submit two or more entries in a row (keep a list elsewhere if you have any ideas in the meantime :) )

5.) This round of the challenge ends at 23:59 (11:59pm) on Dec 31, 2022

 

Feel free to ask if you have any questions about scoring or the rules!

May luck be on your side! Remember, whoever gets the most points wins! (And there will be prizes!!) >:D

Ooh, what a cool idea!

I have a few mentions in mind *malicious smirk of wholesomeness*

First off...Darkvine!

You're honestly so awesome at art, especially at drawing Wings of Fire Dragons, I could never. :) Also, I like how funny and honest you are, especially in the Last To Post Thread, and you're not afraid to be a bit wacky and crazy (especially when the zoodles ^^) Overall, you're really a nice person and it's great to see you on the CB!!

And next we have the amazing Poinsettia!

Wow, you just joined only a while ago, and I already feel like you've been here for ages! You're so friendly and kind, and I'm always amazed how you don't limit yourself to one area of the CB, you talk to everyone. To add on, you write really descriptive, heartfelt poetry that I just love reading. I can barely write free verse, the fact that you're able to write rhyme and make it sound perfect? I would say I'm pretty jealous. :)

Hey antiquarian! You just earned yourself ((+2 +2 +2)×2, +3 +0, +3, +1), which is equivalent to 19 points! Great job, and keep up the complimentation~

As the name suggests, I've got a few announcements!

1 -- Thank you so much for bolding the name of the person you're complimenting!! It makes it so much easier to skim through and evaluate whether it has been mentioned before or not, and I'd appreciate if this trend could be continued! (Huge shout-out to Hex for thinking of that! <3<3<3)

2 -- Don't forget you can post multiple times in a round, as long as they're not one-after-another(you're clear as long as at least one person has posted between posts) 

3 -- Let me know if you guys want to keep Bonus points around in the next round, cause they're giving me a bit of a difficult time right now, and I'm thinking of retiring them

4 -- Artemis is currently winning with a single post of 37 points!

Let the Chaos ensue! >:D

A few more?

the- antiquarian-! I don't know you particularly well (I've been a lot less active on the CB lately, so I didn't get to know you much), but I will say I love your name. You seem like a very creative person, and funny, too! You're clever, I can tell, and very witty. 

Writing! Funny, creative, and an amazing artist - what's not to love? Your posts always bring a smile to my face, and I get so excited to see you around. I love your AEs, as I've said before, and your art. I also love your passion for things - when you like something, you become dedicated to it. I'm so happy you're here, because you add so much to the CB. Here's a bracket smiley in your honor: :]

Starli! Starli, you're so sweet and smart. You seem to know so much about the world in general, especially musical theater, which I love but don't know much about. I always love hearing what you have to say, because it's usually very well thought out. You clearly think a lot about how others feel, and are just such a great person. I'm lucky to know you and happy to call you my friend <3

Jaybells! Amazing poet, writer, and artist over here! Thank you for sharing your creative genius with the CB. I always love to see what you've made. I know you didn't mean to, but you are one of the reasons I began writing poetry and discovered my love for it, and for that I cannot even begin to thank you. It could be argued that you changed my life, in that way.

@the-antiquarian-, thank you so much! You yourself are a really sweet, fun person, and like Darkvine, you're always witty on the Last to Post thread :) I like your name, too, and I'm glad to know you. :D

Periwinkle! Thank you so much, you have no idea how much that means to me. And now it's your turn! I've always admired you, you always know exactly what to say to make someone smile. Every time I see one of your comments I immediately get excited. Your writing style is also incredible, as every word seems to be formed by the one before it, making it flow unlike any other. You're an incredibly kind and giving person, and I love being able to call you a friend. <3

Poinsettia! Your personality is so fun and lively, and you always seem to have energy! It's amazing, because you have the ability to cheer people up! You don't seem to overthink things, and you're overall very admirable and I definitely look up to you!

Writing_in_the_Dark! You were one of my first CB friends. You've always been so creative, and every one of your characters and stories are well thought out. And I, like Peri, shall now rant about your ART!! It's incredible! You have the ability to imagine and create, and that's something special. Thank you for always being a great friend and a great person <3

Artemis! You're really funny and always have something nice to say. We don't talk much, but I'd like to, because you seem like a really great person! You're sweet and funny and altogether incredible, and I'm so happy that you're here on the CB with us!

Rora! Everything about you is happy and awesome! You always have something to say, and somehow it's always the right thing to say. Your AEs are extremely well-developed, and your creativity is nothing short of inspiring. Your comments always add some positivity to this environment, so thank you!!!

First off, thank you so much Hawkstar and Artemis for the compliments! It's so nice of you :D. And here are some more:

Snazzycakes! You're always have so much energy. It's honestly impressive. I feel like you always step up to the challenge and go for it, no matter the circumstances—keep doing that! It's awesome. I also like how you share some of your experiences—you don't hide behind an empty username, but you pop out and be absolutely snazzycakes (I'm trying to use that as an adjective, hope that was accurate). And there have been a few times where I've seen you post small compliments on one of my posts—just a sentance or two and a ":D", nothing huge, but it's always so sweet and sometimes it makes my day and it's really great that you go out of your way and take that time to make me (and other people) feel seen/appreciated/complimented. Thank you <3

WiLdSoNg! You're always really smart and know what's going on, which is honestly impressive and so hard sometimes. It's also really cool that you play soccer as well, as I feel like it gives me a real-life connection with a CBer even if we might never meet. And you ref, like me (kind of, I'm certified but I've never actually done it). You seem like a really athletic and smart person who has a lot of the same interests as me, so it's cool to know you. And if you're still sick :(, I hope you get better soon :)! 

LunaWolf! I think you joined around the same time as I did—wow, that feels like a really long time ago—but even if you didn't, you were still one of the first people I interacted with. My mind associates you especially with my first few days/weeks on the CB, and I remember you helping me feel really welcomed. Thank you for that! Also, I love your name—the meaning is so cool and it fits you so well because you seem fierce and smart. Even if you're not as active in terms of posting anymore, it's still really nice to see you around sometimes.

Phoenix Tears! Yay, fellow Agatha Christie fan! I feel like we have similar reading tastes, which is interesting. Again, I feel like you're authentic on the CB, which can sometimes be hard to do. You feel slightly enigmatic—"revolutionary grape jelly" is awesome, by the way—which I think is a good thing. You're also thoughtful about things, for example how you explained your name on the name-explaining thread, where you said that not only are phoenixes fierce, proud, and feisty, but also that something so strong can be so fragile and it's okay to be sad, but it's important to get up after you fall. I think that's really beautiful.

Jwyn! Honestly, I don't know you very well, but I'd like to get to know you better. It's always nice to read your often slightly enigmatic or music-themed comments on Random Thoughts and Things—they always make me think, in the best of ways, and usually I agree with them. You seem very wise. I also think it's great that you still find time to be part of the CB during your senior year at high school because I know that's a really busy and nerve-wracking time, especially with college apps. It's commendable. I wish you luck on colleges (and life in general, I guess), and I'm glad I've had the chance to meet you (virtually, unfortunately).

Flamarestii! I really enjoy working with you on our [SPOILERS] thread, and I admire all your excellent ideas—they're always unique and well thought out (for example, your archeologists), and you always have valuable contributions to make. You're also really supportive, not only in the [SPOILERS] thread, but also on my written picturings thread which you commented on a few times, not just on your picturing but on others (which you didn't need to), and it was always really nice to see those comments and know that you took the time to do that for me (and others).

Darkling! It's always nice to hear from you, and each of your posts makes me think, because some of them make no sense and some of them do, but either way they're really creative. You have very original ideas that always, somehow, seem to work out. I like your sense of humor a lot too, and your ski lodge forms are always very in-form-ative (ha) and funny. You also seem like a great musician in marching (do you actually march?) band, from what I've heard—states! Very impressive! Very very impressive! Very very very impressive!

And now this is getting rather (very. very very. very very very—) long and rambling, so I'd better stop..

Thank you so so so much Hex! That really means a lot to me. I believe we did join around the same time and you were one of the first people I interacted with as well. Your comments are always so witty and you just seem like a really cool person in general (not to mention your great at compliments!) Also thank you for the comment about my name! I love your name as well- it sounds awesome and witchy-like (witchy-like?? Well you know what I mean) and your right I'm not super active anymore but I still try to read everything and I want to try and post more after the holidays :)

Red Starlight! thank you so much, this made my day. (my confidence is not great, so. hundred percent genuine. :)) I, too, wish we talked more -- perhaps we can remedy that in future.

you've always seemed like a friendly, welcoming person, and you have lots of cool famous AEs of which I know only secondhand, since I don't have any AEs to chaotize with them. in my head you're kinda one of those famous 'old' CBers (idk if you've actually been on this site any longer than I have, but you kind of project that vibe :} thanks for being here !!

Echo Hallowswift! I know that you are like, brand new here, but you seem pretty cool! I love your name, it's so mysterious and magical. You also seem very friendly and social and also energetic! You have wonderful AEs, and just for that bit you are creative! You also like to read WoF and Percy Jackson, which are like, the best series ever, so you have good taste for books! And speaking of your AEs, I love Magnolia, and I like to read the conversation/arguments that you type when they are here!

Emekittycon Kitten! (I really hope I spelled your name right.) I don't know if you're on much anymore, but in every comment you write, your personality shines through. You strike me as a really fun person and your posts are anything but boring. Rock on!

Artemis! I read your poetry all the time and you really have a way with words. I especially admire how you use parentheses; they're a defining feature of your poems and quite unique, adding new layers to your (already awesome) writing. Additionally, your poetry is always thought-provoking, and it's like a journey to read.

CelesteOfTheGoldMoon! I love your art! Your style is so distinctive and pretty. I don't really know a lot of art terms, but I can say it's... well-drawn? (Words often fail me when I need them most.) Your lines are very expressive and I like the detail you put into your work. You're also great using digital and traditional media, and that takes skill. Your art inspires me.

Peri! I remember when i first came on here, I saw you post a lot, and you were one of the first names I became to recognize! You always seem kind, and caring, as well as friendly! I love your name, it seems so fairylike and Peri reminds me of of pheonix, for some reason. You are also a good storyteller, and I think you've drawn pictures as well. I think you've been here for a while, haven't you? I think that is cool.

Periwinkle - I get the feeling that you are so mature and cool, and I really admire the way you give advice and organise events like the MCU. The way you speak your mind in a kind way is really impressive, plus you have been a very soothing presence, and just strike me as a really good person! For all that you are a role-model for me I've honoured to have inspired you to get invested in poetry, since you've come to be so good at it yourself! I hope you can continue to make positive ripples here on the CB! <3

Red Starlight -  You are so creative and have such skill when it comes to writing! It's always great to see a fellow theatre kid, and your passion is downright contagious! I also find your struggles very relatable, and hope you can push through and achieve your dreams!

Tsuki the Skywolf - As a fellow language-lover it's incredible to see you grow, and gets me excited for the waning flame that is my own language-loving tendencies and broader curiosity. You have such interesting ideas when it comes to stories, and it makes me crave more, even if you tend to struggle with writer's block. Honestly, I relate so hard to that, so I can't bring myself to blame you lol. <3

StarCrystal - You have such positive energy and it's encouraging to see another creepypasta fan on here! I love your story ideas, and interacting with you tends to be so much fun! It's cool to see you trying out new things all the time, too! Hope your curiosity and child-like wonder never wears off, and you'll always continue exploring and finding new things to do, Teresa! ;)

Hex - You give me strong younger-sibling vibes (in the best way possible; like scheming with siblings to get more candy or something, or making whispered deals behind your parents back, etc.), and come across and so friendly and creative! Legit, you have amazing ideas all the time, and it's been a wonder to work with you, constantly displaying your love for the fantastical and thoughtful! It'd be amazing if we could continue to work together, and hopefully that brilliant mind brings you places, too!

Shining Star - Your taste in music is just- *chef's kiss* I'm so glad you shared that you took me up on my suggestion so many months ago to listen to Halfy and Winks! Honestly I sometimes feel like I'm shouting into a void, and everything just gets swallowed by the corrosive nature of time, but hearing that you were positively impacted by that little mention is such a powerful reminder and sliver of encouragement! Your writing is awesome, and I imagine your songwriting and singing must be too! Love your enthusiastic nature, and thanks for always shouting out to me and inviting me into conversations. Love ya~ <3<3<3
