Starting with One of Us and followed by all the Geeks that gathered here in the thread. Also the cool guys and girls that offered Train some advice. Glad to have met you all here in the thread.
Above all.
Train, well done. And, way to go.
I was mostly reading and not posting, but I had lots of fun. Thanks.
All the best with Hermes.
This thread may have ended here but Train and Hermes’ story will keep

Just got back from my second job
I kept checkin on my mobile but haven’t been able to read it all
I said it before I left for work but I’ll say it again
Congratulations Train & Hermes!!
And thanks to Train & Hermes, One of Us, all Geeks including myself,
other single men and women!! And well done!!
During the first real-time attack, I thought no way would things ever go
this far but after witnessing such an incredible feat, I feel as though I need to push myself further.
And finally, all happiness to Train and Hermes!

Dear Train,
I hope to see you again sometime here on this board
You’d probably come back to quietly offer your advice to some Geek who,
much like yourself in the beginning, is muddled and lost . . .
I won’t say goodbye. Till we meet again!
Here’s to you Train, and all our comrades!!

When I first came across a Train post in real time,
I didn’t think it was anything special.
Watching him hum and hah over calling or not calling
made me want to beat some sense into him.
When he had dinner with Hermes and her friend
I doubted there would be a follow-up date.
But right after that . . . Train shot out at lightning speed
straight like an arrow down the path towards the answer, the right answer
Congratulations Train, thank you Train.
You are truly a man now . . .
Don’t turn around as you walk away. Even if you get lost . . .
for you have the couples board gang waiting for you
and more importantly, a girlfriend . . .

I’m leaving this net-café to go pretend like I’ve been rained on
Train, much happiness to you . . . and thanks for everything over this long period of time.
Geeks, we were all able to contribute to Train’s happiness. It’ll be all right. Let’s keep believing the day will come when we, too, will morph. Let’s go on reaching out to all the gods that come our way.
And finally, sorry for the long message.

Things moved fast after that dinner with her friend.
Judging from the way Hermes behaved, too.
If you add what we now know about how Hermes felt, it gives that day a lot more weight.
way to go >Train

Since Train has finished giving us the report, I’m going to upload something I was working on back when Train and Hermes were still in the heat of the battle (back when I was hoping against hope all on my own)
I joined the war effort about a month ago and though your bombs did send me back into the shadowy depths of my Geekhood, watching you mature over these two months made me want to offer heartfelt congratulations too.
You who could barely walk in a straight line in the beginning, were raised by the netizens into a valiant soldier who bombed the hell out of us then rose through the ranks and finally to graduated. I hope you and Hermes stay happy together for a long time.
You are all younger than me and I do have a nagging big-brother overprotective tendency but to be honest, I’d really like to scream out
(I love this AA)
All of you, be proud of yourselves. You all have the ability to develop a Geek into a combatant.
And to all Geeks, if you ever have difficulty taking that first step, think back to this thread. And remember all the netizens that cheered Train on. It’s just as Train said in 696. >to have loads of different kinds of courage >and to ask for advice. Yes, we are not alone. We will follow Train’s tracks!
I’ve been working myself up for some speed-dating at the weekend. I’ll go down fighting!
