1: You really do love that one FFZ emote, don't you? A viewer of mine, one that I feel like has been around for years now. Always seeming positive and happy and you're a great reason why I still love streaming. Meeting people like you in your community is amazing. Hope the job hunt gives you some succes soon, you deserve it!

2: Speaking of people I feel like have been around forever, you're definitely up there. From someone that first just wanted to maybe learn Sly Cooper and later promised to learn Spyro with me (but never did!!!), to someone that I've met up with at every speedrun event I've gone excluding ESA 2015. You're a good friend to me, and you always have been, and I'm glad to have you in my life, even if we don't consistently talk. That's likely more a fault of mine than you though. I am terrible at reaching out and talking

3: A person that I've seen in my chat a lot and on twitter as well. As a person, I don't know you too well, but you have been in my stream often. Its really hard to write these, when there isn't much personal stuff to hint at. It feels weird, when I think about it, to not know too much about you, because your name is one I remember seeing around for years. Wish I could say more.

4: I don't know you too well as a person, but I know you're an old boy, one that has been around this community for longer than I have myself. I still remember my first interaction with your stream, I kept laughing at your stupid follower alert that would positively scare you whenever it went off. A lot of time has gone by since then, I don't poke around in streams too much, but I hope you're well. You're a funny guy and I hope to meet you at an ESA or something similar some day in the future.

5: Used to be more around the Crash Bandicoot speedrunning community, but spread out to PS3 titles primarily. The first time I met you in person, you seemed very shy, but as time went on and we met more times at ESAs, we quickly turned into friends, and frankly an ESA is not the same without you. I wanna make a joke regarding one of the games you used to run in the past, but I feel like if I mention the title of the game, you'd know who this message is directed at too easily.

6: Another person who makes an ESA for me. Though you've missed out on some events now, ESA definitely feels different when you're not around. I still remember the first interaction I had with you, years ago I was streaming a game that wasn't Sly Cooper, trying to get into the speedrun, in a community you were also in. I knew of you through a mutual friend of ours, but only knew you by name. My then follower alert showed your name and I remember thinking "Wow, an actual decently sized channel followed me!" Hope to see you at the next ESA, and if it doesn't work out, we need to just meet up and hang out. You're more than welcome to come visit me anytime - Can get you on the ferry for free ;)

7: Here's another one dating many years back. You were, and still is, speedrunning a game that I considered a secondary game on my channel, to add some variance to just Sly Cooper speedruns. I remember our whacky races and community nights on that old teamspeak we had. I know you felt like you didn't get the attention you deserved, back when more twitch popular streamers were doing the same game as you. However, I've seen that your numbers have climbed and I really hope you feel more fulfilled with streaming now, because you deserve it. Haven't spoken to you in literally forever, but I hope you're doing well. Keep killng it, man.

8: Outside of liking strategy games and being a subscriber and loyal viewer of mine, I must admit to not knowing you too well as a person. When I start my stream, you're very consistently one of the first people there, saying hi and posting an emote. Often an active chatter in my stream, which I truly do appreciate. As someone that enjoys chat interaction a lot during streaming, the fact that you interact despite the chat being dead often these days, it means a lot. Thank you for the support.

9: I can't seem to remember when I first saw you in my stream. You seem like a quiet person, but with a very similar humor to mine, except when you go too British. On twitch, people come and go, but you've been around and I hope you'll still be around once the stream returns. You're a good guy, and you don't live too far away from me. I wouldn't be opposed to meeting up sometime and saying hi.

10: One of those people in the sprash community that I've known for a while, and when I first saw you in my chat, I had already seen you in sprash friends' channels. I don't think we've ever had a one-on-one in Discord, but whenever we've had talks and chats, you've always been nice and positive towards me. Though you're also in on the meme culture of the sprash people.

11: I don't know you outside of the name I see in chat. However, you seem to have found yourself nice and comfortable in the Sly speedrunning community and the people in it. As a viewer of mine, you have been around for some time. Not one of the oldest viewers, but you've definitely been watching me for a few years. Maybe I can get to know you better and maybe join in on some of the races when I get back to streaming in the near future™

12: Met you at Awesome Games Done Quick 2017, but we never had many coversations together. You were one of 3-4 people that I didn't know, but still went up to me at the event and shook my hand and said hi. I hope you're doing well in your speedrunning endeavours. You're a nice guy from what I've seen. I'm sorry I can't say much more :x

13: Another person, who's name I've seen floating around for a long time, not only in my chat on twitch, but also in many of my friends' chats and on twitter. If I remember correctly, I think you're now in the military? Either way, you're a person who I would not be opposed to getting to know better, because you've always sorta been around, we've just never really interacted one-on-one.

14: Oh boy have had a lot of dank memes together. At ESA 2015, my birthday happened during the event. One of our mutual friends had set up a birthday card, that he had gotten so many people to contribute to with a message. I remember your name was the first non British guy on there and thought to myself, "did he really send the card all the way over there?" I later found out that he didn't, but the fact that your message still made it into the card, even if not by your own hand, it meant a lot to me. You sorta disappeared to do your own thing, and I hope uni life is decent. Happy belated birthday as well, by the way.

15: The silent lurker for so many years. If I look at how long you've been following me, you're one of the first ones to smash that follow button since I started speedrunning. I always thought you came from another streamers chat, but it was crazy to me to see that you actually followed my channel first. A person, that I've seen in my viewerlist, but never once said a word until 2017 I think. And today you're one of the only people I talk to on a consistent level. The way we got to know each other in a more personal way, was not without its bumps in the road, but here we are anyway. I could write so much more, but it would make guessing this too easy, and I think its already pretty obvious to you now.

16: Were in the same community as me and got to meet you for the first time in 2015. Even got to crash in your room at ESA after one of our mutual friends left early. An overall nice guy, who I don't see a lot anymore online, but always shows up to hug me and say hi at the various speedrun events we both attend. Finding yourself as a person is not always easy, but I think you did a good job. And I'm glad to see how you've evolved. All the power to you.

17: Oh boy. I think I kinda created a monster with this one. That joke aside, I'm glad you're more into this hobby or sub culture now, because it seems to have opened you up more. When we first spoke, you seemed insanely reclusive. A shy guy that didn't speak to a lot of people, but just enjoyed watching the streamers he followed on twitch. You seem to have found more friends now and have more of a social life, even if it is online. You've helped me many times when stuff has looked bleak. For that, I am very grateful even if I never really show it. One of the only people I know through speedrunning, but haven't actually ever met up with because of speedrunning, but for more personal reasons. You're an awesome guy with his heart in the right place and I wish you only the best.

18: One of my oldest friends in speedrunning, and it actually pre-dates speedrunning. Finding you in that stream was just what rekindled it, because we actually knew eachother prior to any of us getting into running our respective games. And I still remember how I saw that name and connected the dots and asked if you knew our mutual friend. Back then, I was new in the community and you helped me gain my initial traction. I think my growth would've been a lot slower without your help, and maybe I would've called it quits without a friend in speedrunning. So for that I owe you a lot. Who knows what would've happened if we never ran into eachother. Maybe I wouldn't be sitting here, making this massive pastebin with messages to people that liked a tweet. Crazy huh?

19: You honestly seem like a really interesting person to get to know. Saying that though, outside of twitch chat and twitter, we've never really done any interaction. But from what I've seen, you seem like someone I'd get along with. I hope your music is doing well and that you enjoy creating. Creating an artform is something I envy, because it is something I aspire to do myself. And I have massive respect for people that can create something from nothing.

20: When we first spoke, you gave off some negative impressions. You'd often be down on your luck and your mood would always be affected by it. Talking to you would be difficult at times, because it would be hard to not step on you in some way, and degrade your mood even more. However, you've really combatted that it seems. Talking to you now is more pleasant and it seems like you've found yourself a bit more and doing better, which I am glad to see. You mean well and I hope stuff will turn for the better for you.

21: I want to write something here, but it's so much more fun to just say "You look better with a haircut, dude" But I don't think that's fair. The two of us don't go too far back, and most of our interactions happen at ESA. And somehow we keep dodging each other when we travel. But I really do enjoy your company. It's cool to see one of the true OGs still be in the speedrunning community. It always lifts the spirits a bit when you show up in chat.

22: Ran games in the same community. I think we might've had a falling out of some sort, because you stopped showing up in my stream and went your own way. I don't know the details, it's been too long to really remember what went on, but I hope you're well and that life is treating you well. Maybe I'll see you around again some day soon.

23: You strike me as a shy person. As a result of that, I don't know you too well. I do know that you're  very hard on yourself and that you find comfort in religion. Life comes fully equipped with problems and dilemma, but I hope you can beat it. You used to be one of the people I considered a shitter, but it quickly turned to the better.

24: Considered putting you in the list below of people I just don't know well enough to say much about. But since you're in my discord and you're relatively active, you're getting a message! Though I don't have much to say. I hope you can sort out meeting with your significant other in the near future and that it'll be everything you hope for.

25: I'm basically giving this one away, but you've been there forever. All the way back in the old days of The Kreww on Skype. I remember that time as one of the best times for me in speedrunning on a social level. I often long for a group of people like back then, where we'd constantly be in and out of calls and talk to each other. I feel like you've been there from day 1 and you've always been so supportive - even when you don't have to, like when you tell me my singing is good when we both know it really isnt :>

26: Someone that may be able to rival me for the title of biggest Sly Cooper fanboy. It feels weird writing this message, because if someone had asked me if I knew you, I'd be like "Oh yea he's super cool!" but I am finding it really hard to write much. I guess I just don't know the personal side of you, and only know the stream viewer side, which kinda sucks. I'd like to change that sometime. You're a funny guy that always seems to find funny ways to lose a run.

27: I almost want to say I am proud here? But that also feels odd? Seeing what you've managed to accomplish in speedrunning is pretty cool, considering I was basically the mentor here. We've spoken a fair bit in private, and you're one of the most geniune people I know. Very sympathetic and you truly just want the best for everyone. When I first said something in your stream, your reaction was the cutest thing ever and you even told your parents. You're honestly an insanely cool person and I hope the best for you. Whenever I've messaged you about personal issues, you've been there.

28: I don't think we've had many one-on-ones. One of the people that was in the wave of people joining the Sly community back in 2015 or so, when myself, Cuber, cooopercrisp and Gnisten did the longer Sly games. Helped finding a few optimizations here and there for all of the games.

29: Recently I opened up our DMs and was shocked to see that the last message was 2 years old, until we spoke a bit. I believe we officially met through a mutual friend's Discord server, but we had ran into eachother in stream chats before then. You are the type of person that looks out for their friends and your door is open if they need anything. I sorta wish we spoke more, because I feel we gel quite well and you're just such a nice person.

30: We were the best of friends for a long time. Our countless races and Skype calls are things that I still hold dear. Before I graduated school, you'd make some of the days a lot less boring with snapchat and junk, and I do really miss those days. We don't really talk anymore, but its fair, and I hope you're enjoying the new direction you've taken as a content creator and not much of a speedrunner anymore. I miss you man

31: You're a Sly speedrunner, but on a personal level I don't really know you much. You're one of the "newer" faces in the community and its refreshing to see how many new people came in and got good at the game. You seem to be genuinely enjoying it and the community around it. I've said this before in some of the other replies, but once I get my internet back and will be able to stream, I hope to maybe join in on some of those races going on!

32: I feel like I should know you better than I do. You've dabbled in Sly speedrunning, but you like variety and run more than just one title. I do really want to say more, but I can't seem to find the words. Always been supportive in my chat and I appreciate that a lot. I'm sorry my brain is a bit scrambled and can't seem to find more to say.

33: I think its really funny to look at how we came to know eachother tbh. The first time we met, we didn't really know one another. Sure, we knew of the online names and such, but we never really spoke, despite being in the same community, with loads of mutual friends. Even sat next to eachother at an event and didn't even talk at all, just watching the same guy play Croc. Comparing those days to now is like night and day. One of my go-to guys for chilling out with at events and we really do need to do some more pussikalja again in a near future!

34: Another huge Sly Cooper fan. Always been in my stream it seems, ever since the "renaissance" of the Sly Cooper speedrunning community where people like yourself and Gnist came into the picture. I appreciate all the support I've gotten from you throughout the years of streaming. You're a good guy and I honestly wouldn't mind getting to know you a bit better than I do right now.


The following people are people that I simply do not know well enough to write some sentences about. IF you're on this list, I am very sorry, I just genuinely don't know how to describe you. That is not to say that I don't want to get to know you, or anything like that. We've just never spoken, or maybe your twitter name is very different from your twitch name. Whatever the reason is, I just couldn't figure out what to say when I saw the name. Sorry again :c
