Who made d-gate worth your time playing the game?

Well it would obviously have to be those who I played with most closely and most often. Treyfalgar, Mavress, Kreston, and my friend Kate who played Kiralyn's bond Cyraenthalis. All of the Taathians and other allies Sindelle interacted with and tried to manipulate, all of Sindelle's enemies and the Taathian temple's enemies that enhanced the whole ebil Taathian roleplay and kept a need for the allies, all the Frontacians and lessers that Sydelais interacted with that allowed me to play such a distinction between his attitude toward the former and latter group, all the dragons and secians that Kiralyn knew, and anyone who ever took my lil' bug hunting--I appreciated that. =P

To name names...cause who doesn't like their name named?:
Vincentiv, Jade, and Lii were central to what little I was involved in when Sindelle first came to Spur, and the three of them and Trey really drew me into the temple RP.
Teef and Anyah always made TSC an interesting place for Sindelle to be.
Fiona always let me pick on her. Which can be quite a relief when it seems like everyone else wants to kill you.
Foom, for providing Sindelle with another Inquisitor to suck up to, however less scandalously. The temple started getting dull and she stirred things up a bit again.
Kiralyn's closest friends-- Raptorian, Lebelle, Equality, Kirrah, Syl, Kavita, Laetus, Mahtina, Weldo, Clara, Nyoko, Firebreath, Caylith, Voskresenieye, and the bonds of all the aforementioned.
Kiralyn's non-dragon/secian friends-- Vycous, Digby, Luna, Nicki & Haberthan, and a handful of Leuians I couldn't recall without forgetting some.
Jolea and Elegrian (and Vycous too, again)-- Although I didn't play with them often, they were like the only Frontacians Sydelais ever had contact with aside from the Luminesses. x.x; And since he didn't associate with or even fully acknowledge non-Frontacians, that was pretty darn important.

Characters that I was never or rarely involved with directly but who made playing DGate worth my time simply because they were in it:
Grimn. No explanation necessary. Anyone who has ever played around Grimn knows why he was a joy to have present. Likewise for Condie.
Gwoss, simply because he gave Sindelle 1000 gold. I can't deny that didn't help me enjoy playing the game that much more! Same for...whichever Secian it was that gave Sindelle some money in the bank to "help support her son." >< Your donations were appreciated and bought many pretty things. =P
Dune, and...whatever elder decided Sindelle had the freakin' Maw inside her chest. (I think it was Sedir?)
Alyxandar. Funniest. Dude. Ever.
Slade, Ward, Changeman, Melraath.
The Spurian Slanderer!
Ranier and Xavier both for just being awesomely creepy Taathians in their own ways.

And characters I can't name:
All the new Taathians Sindelle tried to make an ally out of.
Followers of Arioch, Moloch, and...that third one...><... Particularly the ones who feuded with Sindelle.
Pretty much every dragon who ever met Kiralyn. God knows that includes more names than I could ever remember, but finding a friend in any draco, drake, or dragon I came across definitely made playing Kiralyn an enjoyable retreat from all the hatred and ill will that Sindelle's roleplay entailed.
Any Elder who ever ran a clothing, jewelry, or torch peddle that I got something from.
Anyone who ever went hunting with me. Really...I sucked at hunting alone...you were VITAL to me.
A slew of Setites I could never keep track of because they were always hiding or changing identities. Hell, maybe it was only two the whole time.
Maybe even people who I didn't know where affecting my experience...
Oh I give up... I've listed most of the game already anyway, I think. -_-;

Basically, if you ever had anything to do with Sindelle, Kiralyn, or Sydelais, and you weren't a total twit, you made my DGate experience worthwhile.
