My first contributor badge ever goes to Louise. I was saving it and it took me a while because there are thousands of reasons why Louise deserves one. I still can’t narrow it down enough so I will just list a few and see how much space Ryan coded in here: *for being the first female to reach 1M points *simply for being Louise *for being the best player ever with the most positive approach towards competing and gaining points: if she only would have changed her style slightly in order to gain dom or points, she would probably be close to the first place in career ranks by now *for instead choosing to stay true to her own unique play style, despite years of abuse and of more ruthless people taking advantage of her kind and fair play style *for taking all these stolen wins with dignity and with a smile or a joke *for being the only player to flag out in order to not influence a top2 fight or to solve a circle flag situation or to refuse to 2v1, etc in so many situations where almost no-one else would have the honesty to do the same *for always being there for a laugh, for being genuinely friendly towards so many people, for listening to so many people and trying to cheer them up, even when tired or in a stressful situation herself , for caring about so many people *for dragging me through a lot of difficult periods in my life myself and for being the person to make me enjoy Kdice again *for having a great sense of humour, even when tired *for being a wonderful mom, always putting Ruby before Kdice *for seriously making me consider moving to Australia *for being my friend, even when things aren't always simple *for being respected and admired by so many players *for being the most all-round tourney player ever *for having put the most smiles on the most people's faces and for having the most people that are happy to see her when she gets online ….
OK, I could go on forever, so in short: VERY skilled, VERY loved, VERY special
