x_projectYes, it's the love meme! Isa and I have been talking about posting it and finally talk has become action! Here's the drill: every player has a comment below for folks to leave love. It doesn't have to be words, gifs are also good. We're going backwards to distribute the love evenly (people get worn out by the end of the alphabet, so lets start with them this time!).
We've also included links to the player's wiki page and their character's logs, so you can take a refresh peek at what they've been doing. We'll also link to the individual threads from the player pages, so you can go back later and bask when you need it.
No negativity - if you can't say something positive, don't say anything at all, as the saying goes. ;)
If for any reason you'd rather not be included ping Isa or I and we'll quietly remove your thread. Or, if giving feedback publicly is a bit much, you can email the person directly (email addies are available on the player pages).
No time limits - do your best and no love is too small!
(Thanks Walks for these!)
Five words or a gif you think of when you think of this player.

Three random things you'd love to see this person's characters do.
You and this player can travel anywhere in the world. Where would you take them?
What's the first log or character moment that pops into your mind when you think about this player?

Jean-Phillipe tried to catch a glimpse of the note as Scott snatched it up, but the other man was too quick. "You are welcome to try and stop me, mon capitan," he replied to Scott's previous remark in a deadly calm tone of voice. "What is your plan for eliminating the nanites?" he asked, pressing through the silence. "If you crash the plane with the nanites still active, they will simply cannibalize the broken pieces and continue whatever it is they are doing."
He dropped himself into the seat across from Arthur and snagged a protein bar from the bag at his feet. "Merci, Arthur, I expect I will be using my power heavily."
Glancing back at where Scott still stood, he snapped his fingers. "Vite, we do not have time to debate. You will not do this on your own, I will not allow it."
For Doug... that was harder, because I am very biased when it comes to Doug, but I think it's this bit from Color of Horror, when we really get to see some of his mental math ability at work:
Doug looked at the deck, numbers already spinning in his mind, everything else pushing toward the background as his eyes grew distant. The urgency of trying to find out if Topaz was still alive, Amanda's injuries, Marie-Ange's solid presence...all of it was still there, just...muted. Odds of a particular card, 1 in 78 A particular card out of the remaining deck, 1 in 77, and so on. "Odds of a particular four-card reading, approximately one in thirty-four million," he said somewhat mechanically. But to repeat the same reading became a question of exponential growth.
"If we assume the first reading as a baseline, the chances of repeating it three times after is somewhere on the order of one in forty sextillion - ten to the twenty-second power." His eyes flicked, considering. "If you start from nothing and ask for those four cards in four consecutive readings...it would be something like one in a nonillion - a one with thirty zeroes following it." He blinked, eyes focusing again on the other two people in the room as he came out of the fugue. "Either way, pretty astronomical." But that was life with a precognitive.
