This is not the work ethic and attitude I would want from people working for me for 5 years. The moment I hear someone talking about "ohnoes, I lack free time", I'd give them all the time they needed.

You don't need to go brag about being around for 5 years, and then start mouthing off about "Guys, I don't have free time!" We didn't make you stay here, no need to complain.

Where did I ever complain about doing my Graal duties? I wanted people to know that I'm a real busy guy so maybe that is why I'm not always around right when you need me. How is that so whiny?

Pardon me for bragging but why can't I celebrate? What have you stuck with for 5 years? I'm as much a part of this community as you are, even if - no, especially if - I happen to be supporting it.

I've recently moved out, bought a new car, and changed all my insurance. Maybe you're too young to appreciate the ammount of sheer time, effort, and change each of those really entail - especially if you don't work full time as well. My comment about free time was simply a drawn out explanation of my "whew!".

I was never saying I resented working on Graal. You should be glad I spend my free time taking care of you guys, and I enjoy it for the most part. The only part I don't enjoy is when I get some antagonist like you biting my head off. Please. I have given so much to this community and to this game, the least you could do is sit back with me every five years and admire my work like I do.

Abortion is a personal choice - one that I am not comfortable making, and thankfully don't have to. I would cross that bridge when I came to it, if ever.

Global warming seems to be over and under hyped depending on the interest of the person/group talking about it. I think there are environmental freaks who would have you commit suicide to reduce your carbon footprint, and there are oil tycoons who would sabotage research into efficient cars to keep the gas flowing. So I look at the cons: What is wrong with efficient environmentally friendly cars? They don't go as fast or as far in some cases but overall they're pretty comparable. That's an acceptable loss for me to save at the pump and the environment. I generally think most of the chemicals humanity engineers aren't so great for the planet, so I don't see less of those chemicals possibly being a bad thing.

Sorry for the late reply, computer was down for a few days while I played tetris with my furniture.

I don't. You're not serving yourselves ...

The guidelines are for us, not you.

It's like the Graal staff saying they know what we need better than we do.

Yeah uh.. I didn't want to cause a ruckus about it. I'm just interested as to how the current servers will fare up against the new policies, because they don't even pass by 2003's standards.

Or at least I figured as much since I'm still playing Graal 2002.
