Thank You/Holiday Wishes

=A Few Words= Copy of Announcement on bboard

Everyone,

I write this in the spirit of the Holidays. This world we play in, some of us even nearly live in, is a magical one. A world where we can explore ourselves, unleash our imagination, be creative, make dear friends, and above all have fun.

However this world would not be possible without the hard work and sacrifice that the Staff of this game make. Azza for the help of Coding/Build Assistance. Flatlands for Network (Site & Wiki) cooridinations. Shemhazai for the excellent building coordination. Asherat for General/Story admin to keep us on our toes. And of course Cassiel for his genius code work.

But there is one Staffer who does more than any staffer. One who gives and gives to this game, working every day hours on end to make sure we have the haven we have. One staffer who sacrifices so much of his time, energy, and effort to this game. One who despite working a full time job and taking care of a family member who is bedridden with a disability still manages this game which is like a second job to run.

Day in and day out he gives to continue to build and maintain this world we cherish.

I know there are some who don't agree with his opinions or rules, who get upset at the decisions he makes. There are even some, few as they are, who are selfish enough to put him through hell just because they aren't getting what they want. To you people, you know who you are, I ask that you get over it and realize that the world is a lot bigger than you and your character and their plot. That you don't always get what you want, in the game or in life, and you just need to deal with it.

Giving hell to Skaldia, the man who gives so much to this game you enjoy, and taking advantage of that hard work...its unacceptable. You know who you are. If you don't like the way this game is run, then don't be a part of it. DO NOT make Staff's life hell because you got your hand slapped for being in the wrong.

Maybe for once you should think about GIVING back instead of taking. How do you do that? You give up the petty crap and move on. Its not worth it. Its not worth the gain and it sure is not worth the hell you are putting others through for your crap. Its the Holiday season. Maybe try getting into that spirit and give back to Skaldia by not arguing with him - just once - on something big that you feel you have to argue. Or with any of the staff for that matter.

As for the rest of the playerbase, I want to thank you for working WITH staff - Skaldia and the others - in making this game fun and enjoyable. For keeping IC in character and OOC out of character. For realizing this is a game and that the point is to have fun.

I think that it would be really great if we give back to Skaldia and the Staff by standing together and giving one huge thank you for all their hard work and sacrifice. If every player came together and wrote some form of thank you or holiday wish to Skaldia and Staff on the wiki-page (link at the bottom), I think it would be one hell of a Holiday gift to give to them.

Please. Join with me in giving thanks to Skaldia and the staff for all the hard work they have put into this game many of us call our second home - this world of magic and imagination that we all work to build. Its the Holiday season people. I think its time we gave back to Skaldia and staff for everything they have given to us.

Thank you for reading, Fleurette's Player
