Admin Thread for WW LXI: Grimm Tales - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

wilwarin538 · 05-22-2009, 08:40 AM

Alright, I've decided to make a bit more of a serious comment on this situation.

We all love playing these games, that's obvious, and we put work and time into it, and I think that results in us getting a little intense. I can totally understand how someone unfamiliar with how the game functions and how other Downers act could be intimidated. Most everyone playing this game have played with each other before and are therefore familiar with how everyone is and therefore don't, for the most part, get offended by anyone. But someone new could take this sort of thing a very different way and it could turn them off totally to the Downs. I don't want this to happen, especially as a result of my game. We should want new people to join and take part in everything we do here, and be patient with them until they have learned and become accustomed to all us crazy people. We don't want people to be scared of being a member here or feel like they aren't welcome.

I trust everyone will take this into consideration and keep it in mind for future reference. If anyone has any comments about what I said here please PM me about it. After this I'd like the whole thing to just be dropped. I've put a lot of work into this game, and am very proud of it, I don't want it to be tainted because of all of this. I want everyone to enjoy this and have fun please.

Thanks everyone.

Also, a reminder everyone of SPM's sticky a the top of the Mirth Forum here.

Gaurcirst has decided to stick around, thanks to some kindness from another player. Which is greatly appreciated.

I expect everyone to be nice. I honestly will not hesitate to use my Mod fire powers.

Everyone have fun please.

A very sleepy Greenie just emerged from the bedroom and asked me to post on this thread in her stead (because she forgot) - she won't be around toMorrow at all due to a sort of summer camp training weekend she's participating in. So, don't wonder if she's not around...

PS. I blackmailed Wilwa to tell me all the roles and now I'm having great fun following the game and knowing who's who... mwa ha ha.

I am insanely confused.

Also, Wilwa, not quite sure how your time relates to mine but if you're on the internet in the next 7 hours or so and have MSN please add me. Need to talk to you for a bit. I'll try to brave leaving Hunter on around the children and hope they dont' kill him.

Just a warning that I'll be around even less than usual tomorrow. We're taking a day trip to Wales and are leaving quite early and will be getting back rather late. I'll try my hardest to make an appearance (at least) before deadline to attempt to make those who think I have a death wish change their minds.

Ok so I'm not sure if I'm going to be around at all tomorrow. Actually, as soon as I get to the hostel I'm staying at there is internet so I shall try to be on then. Really though, no promises as I might be really tired(to sleep on my cousin's floor tonight I promised I would be a tour guide of sorts).

K, Sally I've added you. You should be able to catch me on now.

And yes, I can see why you'd be confused.
