Agreed. Guys, please - the dialog has been getting more and more poisonous over the past 6 months. It's one of the reasons that I needed some time away from the game.
One of the strengths of this game used to be the strength of its community. We fought hard in the game, but were friendly towards (or at least tolerant of) each other. You have (collectively) been asked to tolerate a lot over the past... say two years - frankly, it's been more than you should have been expected to. Hopefully, things are beginning to move in a better direction. Will we continue to make mistakes? I plan to - I'm human. Generally my mistakes are both creative and spectacular. I'm now one of three (along with Demonic and Yan) mods on I-2. I (along with the other two mods) and most of the players there will be trying to do everything that we can to make the game better and the community stronger. Please look at the time that you have spent in this game and work with us.
I hope that you all have a stress-free and enjoyable Holiday season. Merry Christmas
