It's the final day of the Festival of Being Excellent To Each Other, that special time of year where we work on tuning up our OOC friendships and community so we can keep on gaming drama-free all year round. So how can Being Excellent To Each Other ever truly end?All week, we've been talking about how to approach difficult topics with your friends to address hurt feelings, stave off drama, and make RP more fun.
But on this final day of the Festival Of Being Excellent to Each Other, let's talk about the biggest reason why RP communities fall apart: People are afraid to have those hard talks.
Do you have people in your life that you love? People in your life that you love to play with? Games you don't ever want to end?
Take pre-emptive action to protect them, and PM your bestest best buddies today. Tell them how much you adore playing with them, what you like about them OOC, and then tell them: "If I ever accidentally hurt your feelings or bore you, I want you to tell me right away. Even if it isn't fun to hear, I like you too much to ever want to let this fall apart. I'm open to any tough talk any time, okay?"
Now that's Being Excellent To One Another. Cheers to another fun-filled, drama-free, awesome year of friendship and community, guys! 
Final day of the two-for-one Epic sale
If there's someone epicly awesome in your life and you want to reward them by making them an Epic member, remember that today, when you buy any length Epic Membership as a gift for someone else, you will automatically get the same length membership for yourself for free. Two for the price of one! Or, just keep both for yourself, and get double the Epicness!
Remember to kudos your friends!
Remember, it's an RPR holiday tradition to give kudos to those players that keep it classy! Make sure to tell the world why they are such a great friend to have, and why you hope to be playing with them for a long time to come.

I THANK YOU ALL FOR THE WONDERFUL TIME I'VE ALREADY HAD HERE ON RPR, AND MAY THERE BE MANY MORE WONDERFUL EVENTS TO COME!

Aww, I'm kind of sad it was only so long. I'm so thankful for this community. It's nice to know there are others out there like me. I really enjoyed the Festival! And I hope I'm around next year for it again

The Festival gets better every year. This year's posts were very especially useful to me!
I enjoyed all the posts this year! Thanks Kim!
I want to thank everyone who followed along with the Festival this week. I have had a lot of fun with all of you, and I'm so looking forward to another year of epicness together.
