Name Comment

Thalzon

    Well, it was a fun RP, and while I feel it could've been better, I was overall really happy with it. I hope its sequel is better, as enthusiasm for it is high.

 

    Thalzon was the first person to join this RP, seeing how he created it, after all. He made a total of eighty-five posts, and wrote 49.55% of the story.

Elec

    I thought it was a pretty cool RP. It had just enough drama to make it interesting and to get you to relate to and feel for the characters without being overdramatic. At times it was a little overdramatic, but just a little bit and not that often. As for my favorite moment in the RP, I can't really decide, as it was all pretty good.

 

    Elec was the eighth person to join this RP. She made a total of seventy posts, and wrote 9.51% of the story.

Ace

    Geowalkers was my first RP and will always be special to me. Its storyline was very well developed, and its production was great to experience. Thalzon really was an awesome facilitator. I'm very proud to have been a member of this legendary RP's cast. Smile

 

    Ace was the sixth person to join the RP. He made a total of thirty-four posts, and wrote 8.26% of the story.

runedot

I think I was the latest to join. Pg 5 I believe it was. I also joined with a woosh bang. Well.. maybe not. The plot for the story was awesome though, big thanks to Thalzon for that. Though, the ending does seem a bit too cheesy... Geowalkers FTW!

 

    runedot was the twelfth person to join this RP. He made a total of thirty-five posts, and wrote 6.75% of the story.

Omega_Boost

    Geowalkers, ah, not much to say, it was an awesome blend of Fantasy and Arcanium. Character development and the battles were excellent. It kinda reminded me of .Hack

 

    Omega_Boost was the second person to join the RP. He made a total of thirty-one posts, and wrote 5.68% of the story. He now goes by the name Master Toki.

Cyril

    Geowalkers was my first successful RP I have ever been in, so I have nothing to compare it to. But I will always remember it, as being very fun. My favorite moment is when the party beat it out of Ricane and the Ricane-Devourer. That was just cool!

 

    Cyril was the fourth person to join the RP. He made a total of twenty-nine posts, and wrote 5.11% of the story.

Armadox

    It was entertaining, Vhaske did better without me, and well as role-plays went this one has a viable story-line.

 

    Armadox was the tenth person to join the RP. He made a total of twenty-two posts, and wrote 4.50% of the story.

Raikomaru

    I enjoyed participating in Geowalkers. The setting was new, characters well played-out (favourite character, to be honest, was Reilaan...), the other RPers were skilled....what's not to like?

 

    Raikomaru was the seventh person to join the RP. He made a total of twenty-eight posts, and wrote 3.98% of the story.

Ralvuimego

    I honestly had a good time with Geowalkers, though the farther along the RP went, the harder it was for me to keep up. I enjoyed playing Reilaan, but I believe one of his greatest moments was in a Thalzon post:

Katherine: ....! There! 
Cyril: Huh....? 
They see Reilaan in the distance, speeding through the water. 
Reilaan: Yeeeeeeeeehawwwwwwww!!! 
All: o_o;; 
Taylor: What's he doing? 
Thunder: Little Miss Taylor, that's called "losing your goddamn marbles." 
Sven: What's he riding? 
Scissors: My first guess would be an unusual high on Fairy Dust.... But a far more reasonable explanation is he's riding a Leviathan. 
Alex: You're kidding.... Is he crazy?! 
Gail: Umm, I think we already discussed that fact. 
They can't do much besides watch as Reilaan single-handedly battles the creature.

Good times. Smile

 

    Ralvuimego was the fifth person to join the RP. He made a total of fourteen posts, and wrote 3.96% of the story.

Captain Obvious

    I am not placed well to comment since I did not participate. I thought about participating, saw that my character just couldn't work, and gave up on it since my character was far, far away from the main party anyway. As such, my comments are limited to: it had great potential at the beginning... and since I did not participate and did not read it either, I do not know if the RP actually turned out good... but since it was finished, I'll assume that it turned out excellent.

 

    Captain Obvious was the third person to join the RP. He made only one post, and wrote 1.00% of the story.

Ricky

    I didn't join Geowalkers when it began because I was busy that week, and I had my hands full. Once I alleviated some of my problems in late June, I sat down and spent four days reading the entire RP, and I enjoyed almost every minute of it. As such, when Cyril had internet problems, I offered to step in as a substitute with his character. Geowalkers is one of the better RPs I've read. I am really looking forward to the sequel, and I feel bad that its release will coincide with my RP break. That's life, though I may postpone my break until after Geowalkers 2 is completed. >_> We'll see.

 

    Ricky was the thirteenth, and last, person to join the RP. He made a total of five posts, and wrote 1.00% of the story.

BlackPheonix     BlackPheonix was unavailable for comment. He was the eleventh person to join; he made a total of four posts, and wrote 0.36% of the story. He now goes by the name Blackwind.
Maniacal Gruntling

    Maniacal Gruntling was unavailable for comment. He was the ninth person to join the RP; he made only one post, and wrote 0.26% of the story. He now goes by the shortened name MG.

Armageddan

    It took until Geowalkers hit page 12 or something before I finally decided to see what the fuss was all about. I am quite glad I finally got around to doing so. Geowalkers was creative, fun, and always intriguing. It had great music, a colorful cast, and a dynamic and adapting plot. The size may look daunting, but I see that as no reason to hesitate. Go ahead and download this RP!

 

    Armageddan now goes by the name Trauma Advocate.

    Outstanding. That's the first word that comes to mind when I think of this RP. It won eight VGRP Awards for a reason folks. Led by the outstanding talents of Thalzon, this RP had it all. Great storyline, awesome character development for a winning cast of characters, and best of all, fun and entertaining to read. My favorite characters personally were Sven, Joseph, Vhaske, and Thunder. My favorite moment has to be the Veil of Doubts...all those fights could be considered classic moments in their own rights, especially Sven's. Man. I'm already giddy with anticipation for the sequel!

    After reading it a month or two ago, I was amazed how well it worked out. If one person had been missing from the RP, it wouldn't have been a success, even without BlackPhoenix. It deserved many of the awards it received, and it evoked [jealousy] excitement in me.
