Mod Announcement

Hello everyone!

First, we need to offer an apology -- multiple concerns were brought forward to us today regarding a situation where two players PM'd a single player about their reserve. After thinking it through further, and considering the concerns brought to us, we have to apologize for not immediately acting more strictly.

Harassment is a very serious problem that won't be tolerated, especially with the situation involving reserves and how quickly the reserves filled. We don't want people to believe that it's acceptable behavior to ever try to get someone else to rescind their reserve.

With that said, this is how we have decided to handle the situation. The players in question have had their reserves automatically revoked. Those slots will be offered to the next players in line who missed the cut-off. We hope that by doing this, we will be able to prevent players from attempting to harass others in the future into removing their reserves.

The players in question, should they choose to attempt to app in the future, will also have a preemptive strike against them for this behavior; any future behavior along these lines will be considered grounds for immediate banning from the game.

Again, we apologize for the delay on our response -- but thank you to everyone who brought their concerns to us. We truly do want to make a game atmosphere that feels welcoming to everyone, and will do our best to make sure that that remains the case.

We know this is a bit of a sour note to start the game on, but thank you all for your interest and enthusiasm in the game, and we hope that together we can make a better atmosphere for the game's beginning. We appreciate your understanding. Any further concerns can be directed to the feedback post, or to this post.
