Writing Competition: Thank You Notes

Thank you, RootRanger,
For making my one Tournament Trophy feel small.
Thank you, RandomGuestWhoStaysOnTheForumAFewWeeks,
For making my one Tournament Trophy feel big.

Thank You For Your Submission

Write FOUR 'Thank You' notes in the style of Jimmy Fallon. Feel free to reference these links: Example. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRo_dxbYT_o) Example. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvekOldRNuM) Example. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teDXiuI9jSw)

Thank You For Following The Rules

• Exactly four Thank You notes.
• Voting will be assessed per person, not per note. Think of it as a 'collection' of 4 notes, though they do not have to be connected.
• The theme of these 'Thank You' notes is meant to be funny, so try to make them comedic in some form.
• Make it Elements-related because this ain't a forum for bat droppings or ceramic coffee cups.
• Submit in this thread.

You have absolutely no more time.

Thank you, Skotadi Phobos for being another really good friend, someone I can trust. :)

Discord, your submissions are technically valid, but they are not in the style of Jimmy Fallon.

The idea is to thank someone in a funny or sarcastic way.

There are Youtube examples in the OP, but some written examples from his show are:

"Thank you, people who say "I really shouldn't" for letting me know you are about to eat a lot of my fries."

"Thank you yearbooks, for being a great way to remind me of all the ways in which I didn't get involved."

"Thank You, People on Facebook Whose Profile Picture Is a Group Photo… For letting us know you felt the need to dilute the impact of your face."

They, ideally, should not just be real thank you messages, however sweet those may be. Actual thank you messages can go in this swanky thread. (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/general-discussion/here-we-thank-ye/msg1186667/#msg1186667) :D

Thank you, Higurashi, for Mindgating this competition (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/general-discussion/here-we-thank-ye/). Do your damn research, COs!
Thank you, zanzarino, for all the updates you've given us in the past 2 years! Please don't kill me, ETG community, this is sarcasm.
Thank you, MeowMeowCat, for showing that dogs and bunchies are better than cats!
Thank you, ZephyrPhantom, for submitting this. You're probably going to get ripped to shreds for your second note!

Thank you, PVP Junkies, for being so supportive of Brawl in between Trials and War.
Thank you, Mono Aether, for allowing new players to instantly be competitive against experienced players.
Thank you, Zephyrphantom, for constantly changing your chat color, in no way making me lose track of who's talking.
Thank you, Naesala, for joining chat constantly and letting us all know that you are, indeed, in chat but tabbed out.

Thank you, Tournament Organizers, you always create such awesome tournaments but always place them at the worst times for me to attend.
Thank you, Weekly Tournament trophy's, you are a mighty accomplishment for some but look so dinky next to the CL/BL trophy's.
Thank you, Team Life, you represent being active and alive and yet your empty chats for days are deathly ironic.
Thank you, Element of :life, you have taught me so much about this video game and yet nothing of real life.

Thank you RNG, for giving me the right cards at the right time in the wrong match.
Thank you Deja vu, for always having my back and my front.
Thank you Statistics Midterm, I didn't want to take part in War anyway.

Due to a misunderstanding, the submission timer was set for one week. It was meant to be two weeks, as most competitions are, so we've updated the timer accordingly.

Thank you community, for making great submissions for Competitions. Especially when they are better than mine.

Thank you flyingcat and MeowMeowCat for being restrained, so we don't need to get kinkykitten624 spayed.

Thank you What People Say In Chat (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/humor/what-people-say-in-chat-part-2/) for doing exactly what you say you'll do. Listing everything anyone has said in chat ever. It's useful, because the chat history tool sucks.

Thank you NBC Oracle for giving me a Purple Nymph! Thank you Alt Account Oracle for giving me a Black Nymph! Thank you Main Account Oracle for giving me a Water Pendulum!

"Thank you Quantum Towers, for caring about my Shriekers, always generating enough earth quanta to burrow them, but never generating the quanta I really need."

"Thank you, Shard of Serendipity for gifting me with my THIRD Dissipation Shield in the same game when I already have Sanctuary in play."

"Thank you, Golden Hourglasses for offering to be discarded in my rainbow decks. Without you, I would need to discard something useful."

"Thank you, people who talk about Heartstone in Elements chat, for driving me into boredom so I can leave and spend more time with my family."

Thank you Shard of Focus, for letting me know that I was packing more permanents than necessary in my deck.

Thank you Shard of Sacrifice, for making purify useful for something, for a change.

Thank you Discord for scrambling my quanta and reducing my options. Without that I'd need to actually think instead of just hitting the spacebar.

Thank you rude chat guests, your insight about our lack of a life and calling us names makes us all look better in comparison.

Thank you, Discord (both the player and the blade!), for adding even more randomness to the already unstable me.

Thank you, MeowMeowCat, for his habit of whacking me with Titan on the Blab.

Thank you, TOs, for their habit of hosting the most wonderful Tourney concepts when everyone's incapacitated to join it, even the TOs themselves.

Thank you, Shards of Serendpity, for generating three quanta-generating permanents when I'm already secure enough on my per-turn quanta generation and need attackers fast.

- Thank you, Phase shield, for somehow being there every time I don’t have an explosion, or somehow being there again when I’ve already used the last one in my deck and for never failing to repulse me on sight.

- Thank you, Miracle, for miraculously pulling a 360 turn around for my opponent, turning my excitement and anxiousness for a glorious victory
into disappointment from an obvious loss and making me drag the mouse to the menu button,
all at the same time. You truly are, a miracle.

- Thank you, Shard of Sacrifice, for doing virtually the same thing as the above,
only making it worse, being cheaper and doing it in Emo fashion.


- Thank you, Shard of Divinity, for somehow making both of the above even more worse, decreasing the life span of my mouse by over 9000 spammed clicks on the menu button, causing a cramp on my index finger and creating despair.
All while at the same time, making me think:
"Phase shield looks pretty damn under powered right now."

Thank you, Oracle, for your unique 'gifts' and insight. Could you please stop trying to set me up on a date now? Where do you even get those nymphs?

Thank you, AI, for your sincere friendship. You understand that no nymph should ever be forced to cry. Ever.

Thank you, Amber Nymph, for escaping from the Oracle's mad matchmaking schemes. Please don't avoid me forever?

Thank you, Elements Community, for providing this wonderful tracking list. (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/general-discussion/elements-nymph-count/2832/) Don't worry about the Oracle's insane plots, Amber Nymph! I'll find you, even if it takes me a thousand posts!
