Well, our dear friend and Marauder Chrissy the Blesser has set yet another milestone! Congratulations on your 5000th post!

"Captain!"
"What?"
"It's Chrissy!"
"What has she done this time?"
"Well, you see-"
"She's done-"
"Chrissy has-"
"QUIET! ALL OF YOU! When you're all babbling at the same time, I can't tell what's going on!"
"So who gets to tell?"
"I want to."
"No, me!"
"Arr, both of ye go sit in the corner and let me tell."
"Tell what? Did you know that my father is-"
"YES!"
"C'mon guys, someone just say it."
"It's Chrissy, you see. She has, well, she has-"
"Has what? Found a hybrid? Hurry up and tell me, I don't have all day."
"She has written-"
"Written what? A book? Fan fiction?"
"No, well, they'd all add up to a book."
"So what are they?"
"Posts."
"Posts?"
"Chrissy's got 5000 posts."
"That's impossible."
"No it isn't. See, look here. 5000."
"Well, I'll be darned. That sure does say 5000."
"So what do we do?"
"We get her something, of course."
"Like what?"
"A present, of course."
"What does she want?"
"How should I know?"
"Maybe we should throw a party!"
"Ooh, we should all wear togas!"
"Catbeard, that was a bad idea. Remember the last one?"
"It was awful."
"Exactly. So, back to brainstorming."
"We'd need Chrissy's input."
"Of course. But first..."
*whispers to crew*
"Ready? One, two, three"

"CONGRATULATIONS, CHRISSY!"

You are an amazing Marauder, and many look up to you. Words cannot describe how kind, positive, cheerful, wonderful, and just plain awesome you are, Chrissy.

So what do you say? In honor of your 8000 yars and 5000 posts, I'd like to throw a party for you. Details will be announced later!

It be an honor, a privilege, and a opportunity to say how proud we be on your such a legendary achievement yet words can not express what ye have done, but I'll say this to ye, Chrissy when ye first came to these board ye were something special, over time we learned how ye loved to help, give advice, give us a laugh, and make us feel special and at home. Chrissy out of the pirates we met over the spiral we've never met one so kind, so generous, so loyal, so funny, and so pure of heart to others and I can speak fer all us pirates here to say that we love ye for that, ye are truly a pirate that will be written down in the books along with many legendary pirates like Blackbeard, Long John Silver, Anne Bonnie, Jack Sparrow, Etc. ye are one of many things that makes these boards so special and we thank ye from the bottom of our scurvy hearts for making each day a special one, thank ye and congratulation on a legendary success.

- Deadeye Jack Morgan

Jack, for the very first time someone has rendered me nearly completely speechless (hold the applause, please). No need for me to say any more, when you have expressed it oh so eloquently and truer and finer words have never been spoken. I will let one little thing slip through my word-tossers though.........

Chrissy............YOU ROCK!!!

*Blushing furiously* You and your fine crew would give Sam a run for his money. I am beyond touched and have a huge grin on my face. Loving on you guys is the high point of my day and when it comes back at me I am blessed exponentially. To be honored just because I am so verbose is not the greatest thing but being honored because I am verbose about how wonderful you are all I can surely agree to. I love nothing better that to be helping and encouraging you guys. Parties are a close second. You are all awesome and just being a fellow Message Board Marauder is reason enough for me.

Lol, Misty-- superbly done and simply great crew chatter. And you are so right and very well-stated in your praises for Chrissy.

WOW, that's a lot of posts you got there Chrissy....5000+-- GADZOOOKS!!!!! What, are you aiming to build The Great Fence of China? ...or perhaps start your own cereal company? ...maybe get into the lantern business?

In all seriousness, I know that you prefer the glory and the limelight to be passed on to and shared with those around you that you care about, so I won't make too big of a deal about your AMAZINGLY AWESOME EPICNESS!!!.

But I will say that it is astounding what you have done here on the boards. The 5000+ posts are monumental but what's even more impressive and admirable, is the manner and nature in which you present those posts, and thus present yourself. To have that many posts and be as sweet, kind, encouraging, welcoming, silly, hilarious, trickster-ish, friendly, informative, helpful and enthusiastic, from post 1 to post 5001-- now that is an accomplishment to be proud of.

And we are so proud of you. Proud to be called your friends, proud to post along side you, proud to be blessed by your kindness, proud to sail the skyways with you and just proud to know you period. Also, I personally am very proud of how you have handled adversity, life's bumpy and windy road, and hardships throughout your life and yet still manage to fight the good fight. You have many strong pirates, but you Chrissy, are as strong as they come. And that is the reason why in our past conversations, I have referred to you as "The Brave Lioness".....keep roaring Chrissy, keep roaring!!!

We all love you and respect you immensely!

Wow, *Blush meter is stuck in the red so far the needle bent* Valkoor you have touched me so deeply that my heart is just at a loss for words. The happy tears are falling and I couldn't feel more loved. You, in my book, are a master encourager and you have rendered me awash in gratefulness and stunned that I have made such a positive impression on so many. If this all be true then I can sigh with relief and say Mission Accomplished My goal is to bless others and treat them the way that I would love to be treated. Well I am surely feeling the love and I am honored beyond measure.
I love you all and couldn't be prouder to call myself a Message Board Marauder.

Do you remember what your first post was? Was it in reply to another's post or a question/comment you started?

According to One-Eyed Jack, my first post was March 25 2013. I responded to something Jack said about the voice actors not getting credited for their work in the game credits.

Okay, I'd like to throw a party. Here are the details. If this doesn't work for anyone, please say something!

Party for Chrissy the Blesser:

Date: Friday September 19, 2014
Time: 5:30 Central time
Realm: One-Eyed Jack
Starting Location: How about the top of Skull Island, up by the path to the shrimp dungeon?

Like usual, whatever happens, happens.

Edit: It appears my computer glitched and deleted or changed a few things in my post. I've fixed them now. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused for anyone.

uh, there is no September 9th on Friday, were you meaning Tuesday September 9th or Friday September 12th?

Good grief Chrissy! I leave for a few months and you manage to break 5000!!!! And on top of that your also all over the place in Central! I must admit, I am equally befuddled, surprised, and impressed. Your massive amount of attention to these our hallowed Forums is so beauteous and so affectionate that it almost seems to be beyond the boundaries of Mortal Capability, and that's coming from me! However, you have truly proven your heartfelt devotion to us and for that, we all are thankful to be graced by your large hugs and open heart.

With the utmost respect,

Thank you Omar, you are very sweet. I suspect you have a slight gift for exaggeration there. Yes I have posted in a few areas of Central but nothing like the Central veterans that have contributed so much information and delightful artistic endeavors. I am thrilled that my small contribution has blessed you and I thank you for your encouragement for it means the world to me.

Just a reminder, the party starts tonight at 5:30 PM Central Time in the Admiral Benbow tavern in the Isle of Dogs!
