[Wind Reach OOC] Touching The Sky

Rhian, if your that close, don't worry about it. We aren't going to quibble over 10 pixels. But we do need the giant ones to be toned down. Besides, you aren't as long as you can be... your siggy surface area is still within the limits.

On a side note...

If you get a PM from me asking you to change or alter something you are doing to fit into our parameters either game rules wise or traditional wise - please don't take it personal. I routinely get the 'Your tone of voice was belittling...' PMs in return. I have no idea how asking someone to please review a wiki entry and the Rules and Terms of Use is constructed as condescending, but evidently it seems that way.

I don't coddle players.

I shoot straight from the hip and tell them how it is. I'm notorious for it. If you girls are wearing a dress irl that makes you look twenty pounds fatter while on your body, I'll be the friend that tells you so and helps you burn it. If your new girlfriend makes trash look high class, guys, I'll tell you so. It's what normal people SHOULD be like in my opinion.

Things shouldn't be padded - life never pads the hard knocks. Things shouldn't be sugar coated - I rebelled when Rite Aid started adding sugar flavorings to liquid childrens medicines. And if you are the type of person that has delicate feelings and needs this approach, Wind Reach and my immediate sphere of influence is definitely not the place to plop your ass down and roleplay. But, remember, I'm a Founder and I started this game along with my buddies. So even if your over in Syliras or down in Eyktol or in the deep jungles of Falyndar - I'm going to be there to breath down your neck if I see something stupid, inappropriate, or against our rules. It just might take longer. And frankly, I'll just tell you. I've been like this for years. I'll be like this the rest of my life.

Why? That's what good people do. They communicate. They do so with your best interests at heart. And if you know me irl or know me from the net, you will understand that condescending is about the last thing I actually am. Just because my writing reads strong and forceful doesn't mean it comes from a bad place. It doesn't.

You've now been told. This game is my family in a lot of ways, and I'll treat you like family - each and every one of you until you do something stupid that makes me decided a divorce is necessary.

Hmmmmmmm,

Ok since this recently came up. Here is a note for everyone in Wind Reach, if you have a thread in which you want XP, please contact my office and I will happily go over it. If there is something specific in the thread that you wish me to take notice, please note it in the request. Also, if you have dead threads... aka the player is no longer responding, I am willing to grade those as well.

Thanks
Dreamcatcher

Just a reminder for those of you I am threading with, my life is suddenly getting a little hectic at the moment, what with a new-found job, midterms and projects piled up all on top of one another, my posting has halted or is incredibly slow, sorry for the inconvenience.

Love you all my little red heads.

Also, I want to post another reminder too.

If your in Wind Reach... you are going to be very soon earning a salary based on your social status. You can retro this salary to the start of your character or your characters start in Wind Reach.

Also, if you have social status, besides being a Dek, you have your own place. Every citizen of Wind Reach has a cavern of sorts in Wind Reach (the Commons) or an Eagle Aerie. Now, you can post 'location' threads of your home so people can drop by. I will even add them to the link map. If you have a Wind Eagle, you have an Aerie. If you live with a rider (which is very possible) you can be with them (though its their home and they can throw you out any time... just saying).

If your a Dek, you sleep wherever you can find. Generally speaking, depending on age, its in a corridor, storage closet, or in someone's bed (whether you want to be there or not if your remotely cute or breathing). You don't really have a choice. You find someplace 'safe' though in Wind Reach if your the lowest Caste, there is no real safety... you're worse off than a slave. You can even sleep in excess Commons housing, but don't get caught.

I hope that clears some things up. We'll announce Salaries by friday.

I'm just going to say guys stop posting such effin long replies, it makes the rest of us on Miza look bad.

Loves and kisses,

Me.

I love you Pao. Don't hate

by **Gossamer** on November 10th, 2010, 4:07 pm

Well, think about it. We're 'Wind Reachers'. Its required to be long rambling eloquent writers when residing here. Spread the love, Pao. Spread the love.
