Hey there! I just wanted to drop a quick note to say that I love this game, and really appreciate the work that goes into maintaining it.
Just as a quick aside, though, because I am not really sure where else to put it! I really just want to pop in and say that modding isn't a job, and that expecting you guys, as volunteers who run a game almost thanklessly so that other people can have fun, to be "professional" or serious most of the time in any capacity is a stone-cold stupid expectation. On that note, I think that one thing that should be looked at, as mods, is the tone taken about players (current and past) on plurk. You guys are the most direct reflection of the game out there, and complaints about people in the game can be really offputting, even (or especially) to people who aren't in the game. I just think this is something to be careful of?
Of course, like I said: this isn't a job, and your private plurks can't be policed, nor would I ever want them to be. Mostly I just wanted to pop in and say that this is something I hope you'll be mindful of. :)
