I'm still relatively new here, and I'm one of those players who comes on and roleplays when I can more as a passing hobby, but I've had the pleasure of interacting with some fun players and characters. A few of them are particularly pronounced in my mind; there have been others, even if I don't remember them off the top of my head.
Felix Felicis, the Fearless One, is a charming character. Not in the conventional sense of charming (although Felix himself would disagree staunchly), but in the sense that he has a rich, vibrant, and healthy ego that makes him entertaining. The way Felix's player subtely (and sometimes not so subtely) exhibits Felix's vanity and pride is thoughtful. He does not exaggerate them to the point that they are open vices that make him unpalatable, but he treats them like quirks that make an intelligent and quietly ambitious character interesting to roleplay with. Kudos to you!
Another player I look forward to seeing is the person I'll just refer to as Gabby, who plays an entire cast of intriguing people from a dashing yet self-preserving and self-proclaimed treasure hunter to a magician who has invested so much of her attention in the mystic arts that magic seems to have truly devoured her brain to an ethically questionable, semi-philosophical, sword-and-sorcery-wielding foreigner who reeks of a hidden and unsavory agenda. I would name these characters, but I'm leery of blowing the player's cover in my zeal to praise him or her for fantastic roleplaying.
Thirdly, there was one character who recently made a strong impression with his roleplaying, one that tittilated me to no end. Unfortunately, I am absolutely terrible with remembering fantasy genre names, as the majority of them are so oblique or esoteric that they don't register phoenetically in my mental database. Some of you users may know the character I speak of, though. He and his companion claimed to be the only two members of the Order of Chaos (a clever oxymoron, to wit), and called themselves Clerics of Chaos. They were vile men with devolutionary leanings, but the spokesman was well-spoken, very bright, and the entire notion hinted at a player with a great mind. Unfortunately, before this character could make a pitch for membership, the server crashed, and while the answer would probably have been "no" considering the fact that Yossarin is not a Chaotic aligned character, it would have been a pleasure to have seen it all the way through. Maybe I'll see this character on again soon, but to whoever you are, kudos to you! And my apologies for forgetting your name...
Also, any time I see the greatest fae monk in all of Amia, Merrygust, I make a concerted effort to say hello just to milk the interaction for whatever it is worth! I sometimes wish I adventured more so I could be a higher level and travel Amia with this disciplined and creative puny pugilist.
There are others that I see who look like very promising roleplayers, but many of them are not ones I've had the opportunity to truly interact with on any significant scale.
Also, thanks to the user who started this thread. Its a very nice thing. We as human beings are vain and self-interested creatures, and few things motivate us more to get out there and do what we enjoy and like (in this case, roleplay on Amia) than a little praise and flattery.

-- which the chaos will soon start all over again XD
nor the players complicated account name). I really enjoyed roleplaying with them (its been a while since i played though) and showing Amia to Seowiel Fireshald (you might have spotted that elven pyromancer in Cordor). So far, since my rather recent arrival, Amia has been a fantastic roleplay server so I want to congradulate just about everyone!
