    *revers the great silvertongue*

    wait, you dont have silvertongue anymore!

    1. Tell us about your journey on NUF! How did you become famous?
    At some point I was top 3 in Most Likes (1 was Epi, 2 was Akki, this was during Shem's early days). I'm just famous for chatting around on Profile Posts and being generally friendly I think. But I'm famous for writing poems on profile posts. I didn't actually start it, but I guess I was the most liked of those who do it consistently.
    At some point I started my own Cult of Pyoo with @Nargol xD
    That and I've always been a community games dweller (before RP games were huge). After AG started (which shocked the first initiator/guildmaster lol), I did a bit of time in AG, and later on Dungeons (under a different name).

    2. Where did you make most of your posts or obtain most of your likes?
    Profile posts! Mostly poems! Especially since there's a lot of them.

    3. Name some users that you are close friends with? If you were active on profile posts, where did you frequently post?
    I mainly post on my own profile now. Sometimes I post on @Bielt @yuzuki @Matsurika I'm generally close with the whole Hell's Family @iampsyx @DCLXVI @A5G_Reaper @AliceShiki @Raneday @wolf.prince @stellarsohye @Abox Other than that would be @Nargol @shad12ow @Evil_Ginger @Chocol8 and a bunch of other old members I don't really talk to anymore

    4. Favorite threads and memories?

    Honestly I've been through enough drama here! My favourite thread is my own https://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/research-on-nuffies-transfer-deductions.20836/
    My favourite moment, I have to put @NUF 2nd Anniversary
    I also remember fondly my frequent outbursts (?) and dramatic moments on Dungeons (and its dissolution)

    5. Are you the subject of any NUF memes?

    I dont think so? Cult of Pyoo might count but it's no longer relevant
    Or the poets thing

    6. How would you like to be remembered on NUF?

    Am pretty content with my current 'rumours', I think people only know of the poems and likes nowadays but that's good too

    The NUF Matchmaking Service thread (predecessor of the current 2018 NUF's Matchmaking Service) was created by @iampsyx on August 11, 2016. The goal of the service was to build successful ships by arranging chaperoned 'blind dates' for nuffians via PMs and there were only two requirements needed to apply for the service: (1) the applicant must be the ones to register themselves on the thread and (2) the user must currently be not in any ship.

    As an attempt to remediate the gender ratio imbalance of the applicants, female nuffians who were already 'taken' (in ships) and had consent from their partners were allowed on October 10, 2016. Complaints were still, however, being received regarding the pairings, so the service announced a change of intention/direction on November 7, 2016 from semi-serious shipping towards casual mingling and meeting new friends. The following clause was added to the intro post:

    Applicants are now advised not to expect the service to provide them with internet waifus/husbandos, not to expect that their partners will perfectly match their specifications and preferences, and not to expect that the blind dates will go perfectly.
    The NUF Matchmaking Service - Valentines Event announcement and registration thread was created on Feb 3, 2017. Each of the 22 participants were given a blank clone (username taken from a fantasy name random generator) that they can use on the mixer PM. The event ran from February 14 to 22 and garnered 1, 811 replies. Forum games such as Truth and Dare, King's Game, 2 Truths and a Lie were played.
    The NUF Matchmaking Service thread was locked on March 25, 2018 following the creation of its successor.

    :blobrofl::blobjoy: and then in comes @listener with his crazy enthusiasm for matchmaking :sushi_dead: but there seemed to be more drama in the staff pm than the pairing PMs :sushi_dead:

    It was fun though it ended on a strange ambiguous note. No successful ships ofc, but it was fun being a staff. :blobjoy: and owning the cute @NUF Love Bot chan <3 (yes it's totally a bot :blobneutral:)

    Just sharing a random memory I didn't yet answer the questionnaire

    degozaru~

    in the very early days of nuf, lachiel was the most prolific poster, leading in messages and a common point of discussion was the topic of who would dethrone him. flowingsong was the closest, and this is when i remember linley showing up and claiming that he would do it but in the end it was me (no flex bro). later on, he became i think the first(?) forum moderator until he disappeared in early 2016

    Listener was like 5th batch I'd say.
    Tato , me and rest held quite a few before that too

    Yeah the last matchmaking kinda ended in a bit of a weird note partially due to "drama (lol)" and everyone running out of steam at the end.

    I know that, it was usually you guys who did it, I found it weird he suddenly chose to host one lol. Tbh I didn't trust him so...:blobjoy: I joined the staff on @Scheherazade's request.

    What was the drama again? :blobhyperthink:

    Ohh... Wait I don't wanna remember :sweating_profusely: but it's true this event was definitely waaay more dramatic for me on the staff part rather than the pairings :blobneutral:
    Speaking of matchmaking...

    For me in that time the Founder of Diabolism roleplay thread by @nejvi was waaay more memorable than masquerade ball by which we were inspired though :blobjoy:


    And then blue bow icons, blue chrysanthemum icons whatnot lol :sweating_profusely: so embarrassing... :blobjoy: yo! @Tony can you make a blue chrysanthemum icon? Lol

    My goodness, I remembered when this service signed me up with a blind date with Tony!

    It was very sweet, all things aside. And very lively too!

    Oh hey I remember that~
    And how they paired me up with my own (nuf)sibling accidentally, so we just started building imaginary castles and things in the PM and the shippers got frustrated with us.
    It was amusing. Host another please \o

    How dare you slip from my mind @Way! Get back here and apologize for your sins!!! :blobhero::blobhero::blobhero:
    That one was really nice~

    Tony-chan was pretty embarrassed too~
    Well, you weren't as open with them in the past... >.>
    That one was pretty fun! I think it's the first time I interacted with both you and Falhrus! \(^^)/

    Wow, lots of old memories resurfacing~
