I read this, and thought, "why would someone disagree/dislike this? It's actually..."That's an odd disagree.
I was laughing so hard, because I was thinking the same thing.I read this, and thought, "why would someone disagree/dislike this? It's actually..."
Uh, yeah, no clue what happened. I browse on my phone a lot, probably hit it while scrolling or something.
Wait, from where do you know Luna <_<o.o Luna died?

Som: I think the level of transparency that you've allowed rivals no other. I can't think of any other examples in which a server owner takes time out of the day to write a clear, thought out letter. This letter validates my faith in your ability to lead. That you've included and encouraged others to adopt such transparency is inspiring. We should all be very appreciative that you and the other staff members took the time to give us such a wonderful holiday gift.As we start to head into the holiday season, I wanted to give an update to everyone on where we're at. This is something I would like to do every few months, and will let me convey certain bits of information that would be difficult to disseminate otherwise.
I'll be sharing with you guys some things that rarely get talked about openly: the financial state of the server, new player applications, and player activity. I will also discuss the status of the staff team, and then there will be an update for each department, written by the appropriate coordinator. If you've got questions, please let us know, and we'll do our best to answer them sans spoilers.
I'm glad to hear that the server has a bit of a financial buffer, but I hope we as players don't take that for granted. Lately I have, as I've been struggling to make all my payments. But, I think we all can do better to contribute more. Just remember; HollowWorld provides hours of entertainment free of charge. It's the least we can do to contribute, even if we have to give up buying that cool new album on ITUNES to do it.Server Accounting

This is all wonderful news. You all should be very pleased to see the community remain healthy. I'd like to commend you all for properly screening the whitelist so well. I've not witnessed any newly whitelisted (or older players, for that matter) advertising, griefing etc. That is incredibly unusual and I think we as players take that for granted. Thank you thank you thank you to the whitelisters for doing one heck of a job.Health of Server Population

Sally: Thank you so much for managing all the plugins for us all. You do a ton of work for us, all free of charge. I know we've had our disagreements, but it doesn't mean I don't respect you for what you do. The mychunk update has been a mess and you've been tagging people one by one and asking permission to delete. That's a ton of work, especially when the easier (and much less desirable) way would be to just delete them all. You look out for the players best interests, sometimes to the expense of your own. It's not unnoticed.Plug-Ins

There's a lot here. You all are working hard as usual, again with no compensation. I've heard of situations where server owners pay builders hundreds of dollars to construct maps and builds for them. Your team does all this for free. What a great asset.Builds and RP/IC Infrastructure

OOC/IC blending is something that actually bugs me a bit. I've noted several occasions where IC issues become OOC issues. To some extent, I've noticed OOC dislike that STEMS from IC dislike. That bugs me a bit. It's not the fault of the moderation team by any means. It's something we all can improve on as players.Moderation

I'm glad to hear that the Lore team has expanded. Lore is an incredibly complex, detailed, and living concept. Once again, the lore team does this all with no compensation. I think we as players sometimes take things for granted and can be more patient.Lore

Events continue to be a strong point on this server, thanks to Mich's dedication and player willingness to create, support, and participate in events. When I first joined the server, there was a big campaign. At first, I was a bit lost. I didn't really know what was going on until other players explained it to me. Once I realized the scope of the campaign, I knew this was a place I wanted to be. The living map style is incredibly fun, and I'd hate to see it dissipate. Regardless, your team has done a lot of work that deserves commendation.Events

I love the competitions, and I've noticed an uptick in media activity. Media is hard work that is once again being performed without compensation.Media

Right now, it's rather my only option, and I've ceased to use it for anything else. I:As a side note, I don't think it's a particularly good idea to use your own personal paypal for the server finances.
Nahh, that's the toxic coffee you made...Ugh, all these good feelings are gonna make me vomit..

I mean, I love Time Lords as much as any Whovian. But not sure about the correlation between Time Lords and the rating system.What
*sigh* doctor who, timelords have 2 hearts, bbc>everythingWhat
Don't sigh at me, that's a weird chain of thought to follow. Space Marines have 2 hearts as well, but I'm not saying we need a grimdark rating.*sigh* doctor who, timelords have 2 hearts, bbc>everything
player love is represented by a heart
pls?we need a grimdark rating.
Muhahaha has idea

I feel like the universe is playing a cruel joke on us.
for anyone who doesn't get the joke
I used to have a werewolf character on this server, and when I came back, my whitelist application got rejected twice because I insisted on wanting to play a werewolf.
bette used to play a werewolf, but that werewolf got her wolfy powers taken away.
