• Tynastera Message of the Day (MoTD)
Tuesday Movie Night - Serenity
Gemmie – 2010-03-10 01:07:34
In the future, when a passenger with a deadly secret. Six rebels on the run. An assassin in pursuit. When the renegade crew of Serenity agrees to hide a fugitive on their ship, they find themselves in an awesome action-packed battle between the relentless military might of a totalitarian regime who will destroy anything - or anyone - to get the girl back and the bloodthirsty creatures who roam the uncharted areas of space. But, the greatest danger of all may be on their ship. From the mind of Joss Whedon, comes a new edge-of-your-seat adventure loaded with explosive battles, gripping special effects and fantastic new worlds.
Ty Movie Nights
Gemmie – 2010-03-09 19:05:57
I'm gonna try to get some structure in our Movie Change ups, so I thought I'd put a new Movie on every Tuesday and Friday for those of you that enjoy watching them.

My current stash needs replenishing, so if you have a Movie Suggestion please feel free to petition it, but keep in mind we do have youngin's in our realm.

Enjoy!
Gender Change!
Dragoness #LessienElensar – 2010-03-09 01:14:45
We have been getting a lot of petitions lately concerning gender changes. This is mainly due to the module Lost Ruins. When someone goes into the Lost Ruins, it can sometimes change another player's gender. It usually lasts about three game days. I am sure all of you can deal with being another gender for at least three game days.
Ty Radio Poll
Gemmie – 2010-03-08 11:11:51
Okay..it seems many of you don't listen to our radio :( I'd love for those that don't to drop me a yom and let me know why, besides possibly that we play a varity of music and you just want to hear your own all the time ... Same for those that only listen once in a while...what could/would make you listen more?

As for the 15 that say they didn't know we had a radio? Where have you been living?? In the caves or swamp?? O.o We have the link on your RIGHT SIDE NAV and I just can't imagine how you don't know it's there laughs

This radio could be a great tool for contests and things, but it takes a lot of work so if you don't think it's a benefit to you as a player, I'd like to know that :)

Also if you have the knowledge and ability to record sounds bites, feel free to submit them. They should be about Tynastera in some manner, either a shout out to a friend, or praise for the Ty, etc. Just email them to Donguri hehe or Brilliant/Liais, or whatever her name is this week wink or to me.
Poll: Ty Radio - Do you listen?
Gemmie – 2010-03-06 22:17:31
We are considering using the Radio for a few contests and things, but I thought I should check to see how many of you listen to it first chuckles.
Yep, I listen! Faithfully! Every second I'm here!! (29 - 25.4%)
25.4
Well..sometimes I listen, and sometimes I don't. (29 - 25.4%)
25.4
I don't come here for the music, got my own. (37 - 32.5%)
32.5
Can't be bothered. No offense though. (5 - 4.4%)
4.4
We have a radio? O.o (14 - 12.3%)

New Pokes - St. Paddy's Day
Gemmie – 2010-03-02 11:58:29
We've added a couple special pokes for the holidays, and will be adding more later tonight.

Please note: We had to move a few pokes around, so if you had Bite, Flipped off, or any others turned off in your preferences, you may need to go check them and turn them off again, since I moved them to a new location, same goes if you can't see it in your own bio (means you have those turned off and now it's not showing the new ones). If I haven't confused you now...chuckles...Enjoy!

Gemmie – 2010-02-28 12:32:20
apparently...chuckles a few of you were concerned about how to let others know that they needed to empty their YoM box...so, we have created a new poke for you. When used, it will let the person know their Yoms are full...of course, I can't guarantee they'll empty them laughs but we've done our best.

Enjoy
New Movie - Confessions of a Shopaholic
Gemmie – 2010-02-27 09:47:40
No...hard as it is to be this is not a movie about Gemmie hehe

Struggling with her debilitating obsession with shopping and the sudden collapse of her income source, Rebecca Bloomwood unintentionally lands a job writing for a financial magazine after a drunken letter-mailing mix-up. Ironically writing about the very consumer caution of which she herself has not abided, Rebecca's innovative comparisons and unconventional metaphors for economics grants her critical acclaim, public success, and the admiration of her supportive boss Luke. But as she draws closer to her ultimate goal of writing for renowned fashion magazine Alette, she questions her true ambitions and must determine if overcoming her "shopaholic" condition will bring her real happiness.
Blood Hunt!! See Ssyter with any questions
Gemmie – 2010-02-26 11:15:58
It’s violent, It’s ruthless, It’s Fun, It’s the most bloody sport in the history...It’s Blood Hunt! Hosted by Ssyter and All Staffies!

Once a year on the 6th March, Nagas all over the world meet at the city known as Viss’Kass. For one soul reason..BLOOD HUNT or in Nagaian tongue Taavlass, Tribe leaders of each tribe choose a team of five to ten people to enter in their names for honour and glory of their tribe. It is the ultimate honour for a Naga to be chosen..and this year Ssyter was approached by a ambassador of Viss’Vissk ( God and Father of the Nagas) to tell his Tribe Leader Gemmie that her tribe had been asked to attend the hunt this year. Are you worthy enough to earn glory? Are you worthy to win the respect of your realm and the Naga’s? Are you worthy enough to win the chance to face Viss’Vissk himself and ask for a boon of your choice?

So Ssyter what is the Blood Hunt?

The Blood Hunt is vicious..Five to Ten warriors enter into the proving grounds...normally a swamp or a forest so the prey can hide...we don’t want the game to be other quickly do we?..Normally ten to Twenty Prey are thrown into the grounds and ..you can guess what happens to the prey..Heh heh!

What does a Hunter do?

The Hunters role is to hunt down their Prey. Anything goes really..but there is one rule, the hunters must obey..upon killing a prey they must offer the heart up to the Moon and honour Viss’Vissk. They are allowed to work in teams of two or three, but destroying the environment is forbidden as it’s a act against nature and we don’t want angry shamans now do we?

What do the Prey do?

The prey enter into the ground first, given five minutes to run and hide..they may work as a team but large numbers might alert the hunters and with noting but what you make or find fighting them off might be a task. Prey have more strict rules..All prey are clamped with a collar weakening the flow of magic in their body if they possess it..they can cast magic but it’s weak..Example if you wish to fire a fireball you’ll conjure a small jet of flames from your hand/s.

How to enter?

How do you enter? It’s simple YoM Ssyter with a Yom subject title of Blood Hunt and how you’d act if you were a Hunter and a Prey. We want this to be a fun event but we don’t want to outbalance the teams :)

Reward?

- The Prey who lasts the longest is awarded 10,000,000 gold and 50,000 gems.

- The Prey who Rp’s the best is awarded a audience with Viss’Vissk in which they can ask a boon of their choice and 100,000 gems ( They’ll be a few limitations of course)

- The Hunter who kills the most Prey is awarded a vial of Naga Blood..A high honour to the Naga to join their race and a Custom mount of their choice.

- The Hunter who Rp’s the best is granted the ultimate honour..for fifteen minutes they have a audience with Viss’Vissk in which they can ask for a Boon ( They’ll be a few limitations of course)
and are given 100,000 gems

At the end of the Event, All who entered can vote on who they thought the best Rp'er was during the event.

The reward for this is..

- Honorary Staff for the Weekend!

- 250 Donator Points and a Bio Song!

- And to top it off...A CUSTOM RACE!

And to be extra nice..all who enter and join in all the way through recieve 100 Donator points .Aren't we nice!


 What limits does Viss’vissk have when it comes to Boons?
Viss’Vissk CANNOT give these Boons!

- Staff Jobs
- Custom Races
- Anymore than 500 donator points
- No more than 1,000,000 gold or gems.
- Access to any donator races/equipment E.g Goddess race from donator lodge or a character related piece of equipment e.g Torque of the Goddess.
- Anything rule breaking.
New Movie: Creature from the Black Lagoon
Gemmie – 2010-02-24 20:24:39
Not since the beginning of time has the world beheld terror like this!
Centuries of passion pent up in his savage heart!
Terrifying monster ravages mankind!
Amazing! Startling! Shocking!
Clawing Monster From A Lost Age strikes from the Amazon's forbidden depths!
Creature from a million years ago!... every man his mortal enemy... and a woman's beauty his prey!
From the Amazon's forbidden depths came the Creature from the Black Lagoon

Believe it or not, those were the actual taglines used to promote this Classic back in 1954 when it was first released!

Plot Summary:
A scientific expedition searching for fossils along the Amazon River discover a prehistoric Gill-Man in the legendary Black Lagoon. The explorers capture the mysterious creature, but it breaks free. The Gill-Man returns to kidnap the lovely Kay, fiancée of one of the expedition, with whom it has fallen in love.

Gemmie – 2010-02-21 00:47:59
so... I know we haven't been great in Jan or Feb at following our calendar of events, but, we are hoping to improve that in March and April. We have posted the new calendars for your pleasure. you can find the link on the RIGHT SIDE NAV below where you equipment shows.

We are open to suggestions if you'd care to petition any you have.

Thanks to Yrael and Lia for getting these calendars together
1 Main, 1 Alt
Gemmie – 2010-02-20 12:29:04
I direct you all to Rule 1:

Rule 1. Before your game begins, know that we take the DOB portion of your registration very seriously. If you are found to have entered a false birth year, you will be permanently muted from speaking or sending YOM's in Tynastera. If you entered a false DOB during creation, you must petition now with your correct DOB. This rule is for the safety of our younger players and we thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation. Also please note, Character Creation. You are allowed one Main Character, and ONE Alt only. Please respect our site and server space by keeping it limited to that. Anyone found to have multiple Alts run the risk of having Donguri delete ALL of your characters without warning.

Please consider this your only warning.
Black in names and titles
Gemmie – 2010-02-20 12:19:04
Seems I've created some confusion about no longer putting Black in titles and names, so let me set the record straight.

I'm not taking anything from you, I'm just no longer willing to answer petitions or yom requests for an admin to use User Editor to put black in your names or titles.

Currently, our module doesn't allow you to pick black in your name or title. So in order for you to have it you had to petition and an admin had to do it for you. I didn't mind when it was once in a while, however, it's gotten to where its all the time and, not to complain, but I, and my Sr. Staff, have other duties. So all that's happened is we are no longer going to offer this as a service to you.

If, in future, JJ edits the code to add black to names and titles, then you can enjoy it to your hearts content, but until then, no. Black, for whatever reason, is available to you in chat posts which is why you still see black from time to time used.

Hope this clears the matter up.

Gemmie – 2010-02-12 22:02:31
Despite his notorious relationship with the Church, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is once again called upon to decipher the clues to a catastrophic conspiracy. The Pope has died, and before conclave can begin to determine his successor, the four preferitti (primary hopefuls for the papacy) are kidnapped. An ominous threat of their hourly demise, along with the complete annihilation of Vatican City, is issued as an elaborate revenge scheme for a persecuted group known as the Illuminati. With their meager time limit steadily counting down, Langdon, accompanied by beautiful physicist Vittoria Vetra, must travel throughout Rome to unravel the carefully hidden signs that will lead them to a terrifying adversary, a harrowing discovery, and the shocking truth.

Bio Songs - Instruction Review
Gemmie – 2010-02-09 22:45:06
A few of you recently have asked how to get songs in your bio so I thought I'd refresh here for you.

1. Bio Songs are a Donator Benefit
 this means you have to Buy the ability to have a song in your bio via the Lodge, for 1000 Donator Pts. Once you make the purchase, you will then see a Nav for Bio Music in your Preferences.

2. Loading a song
Eitiher use a direct link to your song (complete URL) or upload it on our site of choice, http://kiwi6.com. Once there, you can make an account or not, upload the song, click the link, then cut and paste the DIRECT link into your bio. NOTE: the song MUST be an MP3.

In some cases you need to wait a minute or two for the song to load and cycle.

Enjoy
Hear ye, Hear ye! Citizens of Tynastera!
About~ Michelina – 2010-02-09 13:51:34
As you might have heard many of our shopkeepers have been seeing losses to their business due to the decline in the economy. Some are even considering closing up shop permanently. GoldenMaiden and the Senior Staff hate to see that happen and instead of offering a bailout we thought the citizens might be able to help.

Here is what we'd like you to do:

Write up what you believe the theme for a city might be. (Example: Bladecross - fighting/battles) Then within that theme tell us which village shops you think would best fit that theme.

Petition your ideas in as soon as possible. Time is running out for many of these shopkeepers and we'd hate to put them out on the street begging for scraps.

You don't have to do every city. You can just pick one and list for us the shops that you think should be there.
_____________________________

Winners will receive:
-Credit for their winning idea in a future newsletter. (As well as the undying gratitude of the shopkeepers!)
-A special prize, yet to be determined.
_____________________________

So get started on your skills as a creative citizen of this great realm Tynastera.
New Movie - Beowulf
Gemmie – 2010-02-09 00:25:39
In Denmark, A.D. 507, the realm of King Hrothgar is threatened by the tormented demon Grendel that attacks the locals in their celebrations. The Danish king offers a reward for the death of the creature, attracting to Herot the brave Geat warrior Beowulf that seeks for glory. After a fierce battle, Beowulf defeats the demon and after receiving an old relic as reward, he finds his men slaughtered in the party saloon of the castle. King Hrothgar advises that the Grendel's mother was the responsible for the bloodshed and Beowulf chases her in the lake where she lives. The creature takes the form of a seductive woman and seduces Beowulf with a promise of becoming an invincible and wealthy king if he makes love to her and gives his golden relic to her. Years later, King Beowulf feels the aftermath of his sin.

Love Poem - Instant Contest Winners
Gemmie – 2010-02-07 02:42:48
Isabella Black:
Hidden Love

Caresses in the night
Warm breath upon my neck
My love asleep at my back
secret smiles
hidden kisses
love hidden from the world
waiting to burst free and claim it’s place among the greats
Romeo and Juliet can’t compare
Tristan and Isolde child’s play
Lancelot and Guinevere blush with shame
For a love this wondrous
A story this intricate ….
….will change the face of love
By Isabella Black for her husband

Life Before Love

It was dark and lonely before the light.
The very world could swallow me without a trace.
It was difficult to know between day and night.
Giving all hope up to memory to erase.

But now with you here in my arms,
there is no more lonely, darkness, confusion or forgetting.
There is only you, the sun, the moon, the horizon and clarety.
No more is my worldlike the sun setting.
These words to you, I say with heart felt sincerety.

I give you my heart for safe keeping.
No more tears will you see me weaping.
For there is one thing that has truely changed,
you have filled my heart and given me life after love.

Hexis Cibil
A love peom for my beautiful Samora.

I love the way you look at me,
Your eyes so bright and blue.
I love the way you kiss me,
Your lips so soft and smooth.

I love the way you make me so happy,
And the ways you show you care.
I love the way you say, "I Love You,"
And the way you're always there.

I love the way you touch me,
Always sending chills down my spine.
I love that you are with me,
And glad that you are mine.

FORGOT ONE O.o

Riku Takumi
My Love,
I remind you like I always do I love you. Your my world and always will be, I would give everything for you. If it meant you would be with me for ever I would get up and walk until I could get you the moon. You how are my world, my goddess, my love.
From the only man who could love you as much as I do,
Riku Takumi.

P.S. I love you more then you can imagine.


Gemmie's added just for fun:
My Love,
I woke this morning in pain... my knees aching and throbbing... I limped out of bed to bath, carefully washing each bruised patch of skin, a smiling lingering on my lips as I remembered the cause of each wound...
I walked outside, the vision of you still fresh from my dreams and knelt upon the pebbled ground to again give my thanks to the Gods for having blessed me with your love..You are my heart, my soulmate...indeed, my all. I rose from my prayers with a new bruise upon my flesh.. I absently brushed a pebble away as I went about my daily chores...the pain I suffer but a reminder to be grateful each hour for the love we share.


LesienElensar
My Heart,

I have enjoyed getting to know you over the past few months. I love the laughter that we share, the getting to know each other, the late night chats. I love to see that sparkle in your eye when we see each other, the dimple that appears when you flash that amazing smile, the butterflies that like to flutter in my tummy when we first kissed. Remember that one time when there was toilet paper stuck to my shoe when I came out of the bathroom? I was so embarrassed, but you played it off so we could both laugh about it. I love hearing you talk; your husky baritone voice can be like a lullaby to my ears, like water running over rocks, it flows gracefully. I also liked it when you proudly showed me off to your friends. It made me feel special. I also enjoy it when you kiss my forehead, say I am beautiful, and hold me tightly when I am sad.

I hope that our love for each other never dies, but strengthens with time. You are my best friend, my confidant, my lover. I look forward to our continued friendship, our strengthened trust, and our laughter.

I am yours with all my heart.

Your Own

Kitty Kat
To my companion in life- the one whom I love..

As our age grows, past memories are lost to us. Such is the way of the world.
But I feel time has no hold on the memories that were created between us..
Time has no power on the beauty that I see when I look into your eyes.

Is it truly possible for someone to make me as happy as you do now? Is this all just a blissful trance that I refuse to wake up from?

No. This is all real. You are real. Our love and our need for one another is real.

It's your warm caress that I long for. It's your sweet words that brighten my day.
Through our fights we've strived and only grew closer to one another. Through our doubts we've only come to trust each other more.

Look at us now. Look into my eyes, darling..

Read my love in these words.

Be my Valentine once more, and let's both make new memories this year again..

Brilliant
To the keeper of my soul's other half,

For a thousand years our souls have loved one another. Parted always by cruel death, yet e'er returned in the next life. You are my soul's missing half, without which I am but a blind nomad, searching the frigid desert by night to no avail; never could I find that which completes me 'til I were to lay my eyes upon your beauty. Beauty which comes more so within than out. For while it is true, your outer beauty is something to put the Gods and Goddesses of old to shame, it is the complex and intelligent sparkle which lights those twinkling eyes that makes this heart skip two beats and long to be touched by the hands belonging to such a perfect persona. You are my soul's other half, you are the words to my melody, you are the steps to my dance. Forever be mine, my love, forever and always, let our souls intertwine throughout time in love's dramatic maze. As long as I always find you, my heart, joyful always shall I be.

Simkin
Dear Love I want you to know Always my love you will have no matter where this world may place us.

As you all may recall, we used to have 4 Streets. They together were the streets of Tynastera where you could buy whatever you needed. Of these, only the Warrior's Way is left. The others have been removed since we believe that only Warrior's Way was really a necessity. Thus all shops that used to be in Merchant's Circle, Workman's Alley and Information Street are now back in the villages. They might be scattered all over Ty though, so have fun with the hunt ;)

Update: we will be repositioning a lot of these items over the week-end.

Radio Shoutbox
Always&Forever Her Jxyt – 2010-02-01 13:22:06
First let me start by apologizing to those of you who may have experienced problems with it. I have reported it to the host of the shoutbox and they gave me the following answer:

As of the first of february (tomorrow) our old ad system will be taken down and replaced by a direct ad provider. I think and hope that this is the end of the bad ads.

A big thank you for your patience and all reporting etc. Keep it up :)

In other words, the ads SHOULD be spam and virusfree now. Ive been using an Adblocker myself so I did not know about the problems with it before Pandora and Felesmala had let me know, so thanks you two.

To clear any misunderstandings, there will still be ads, but harmless. They shouldnt be popping up or anything. If anything is wrong with it, let me know again and I will pass it on.

Thanks to our donators plus a bit more....
Gemmie – 2010-02-01 02:00:00
The first month of the New Year has come…and gone. It was a great start for Tynastera I believe and hope you agree 

As is tradition, I’d like to take time to give all of our financial donators from January a special acknowledgement. I know we say it every time, but as you might have seen from my MoTD about my friends site, Tynastera really could not exist without the money those of you that can generously donate to keep us running. Please know, that when I say “thank you”…those words come from my mouth, but are also echoed in the hearts of all of Tynastera’s Citizens.

January Dontors:
Nicolas Abetov
Noir
Elodin Melwasul
James
Lanna
Kelathos
Betty
Brilliant
Aadilah
Skylark
Seasons
Bess
LessienElensar

With special Thanks to Kelathos, our Top Donator for January. He’ll be our level one Master so…Go Slay Him!!

Another tradition we have is to offer Double Points the first week of each month for anyone that donates. From today thru the 7th anyone that donates rec’s Double Points!! Please note: You will get double donator pts for our Double Pts Week, BUT, your donation dollars will no longer be doubled for incentives. Meaning, if you donate $20, you’ll receive the regular 2000 DPs plus an additional 2000, but your incentives will be based upon your $20 donation.

Also note: we have changed our Donation Incentives (see Right Nav Panel) so be sure to Petition for your incentives when you donate!

Ocean Quest and Pyramids have been reset for February!

February is our Month of Love on Tynastera and will offer contests over the next week that deal with Love Poems, Love Stories, Love Letters(are you feelin the love yet?)

And of course, our Second Annual Sweethearts Ball!!

Lots of new things are happening on Ty, and JJ is busier then ever perfecting our modules and working up new things like our Radio for you. Please remember to take a moment to thank him for all his hard work!

New Pokes will come out over the next couple days for the holiday also.
We have lots of new movies planned for you too.

Always&Forever Her Jxyt – 2010-01-31 17:34:00
Just pointing it out since some of you may not have noticed. This message is more for those whom cant get the player to work. We are using a different player than when we started radio broadcasting altogether. So if you havent tried since than I suggest you try it now. The new player is based on Flash 10+. So Im pretty sure all of you can get it to work for as far as plug-ins will be needed. It may tell you its buffering for a long time, just a) wait; b) refresh; c) log out and log back in (to Ty) after having closed the pop-up radio window; d) Go to http://radio.tynastera.com

If you still have problems, please petition them

NEW MOVIE: A knight's tale
Gemmie – 2010-01-30 01:38:12
Chick Flick with Manly Man stuff toolaughs

William Thatcher, a peasant, is sent to apprentice with a Knight named Hector as a young boy. Urged by his father to "change his Stars" he assumes Sir Hector's place in a tournament when Hector dies in the middle of it. He wins. With the other apprentices, he trains and assumes the title of Sir Ulrich von Lichtenstein. By law, only Knights may compete. Being of humble birth, William aquires fake documents to support his new identity. At his first tournament, he meets the lovely Jocelyn who is a Lady and has no idea that William isn't noble. He also creates an enemy in Count Ademar, until then the best Knight in the games, and a rival for Jocelyn's affections. William goes on to win many tournaments and Jocelyn's love. Ademar discovers William's humble beginnings and turns him in. William is promtly arrested. The Black Prince Edward, who William had paid a past kindness to, makes William an official Knight of the Realm, thereby making it legal for him to compete. He beats Ademar, and he and Jocelyn celebrate.

Odd request... but a heartfelt one
Gemmie – 2010-01-28 22:04:42
Our donations have been good.. Better than good, frankly, and we are totally appreciative to you all!!

But.. I have a ... well I'm not sure.. a plea? Or sorts.

A friend of Tynastera, WitchyWoman is having a tough time meeting her goal laterly. The site was recently down for a few days and she only has a short extension to get her bill paid.

I'm going to make a donation on behalf of Tynastera of $50.00, and what i'm asking... odd as it seems, is if any of you can spare $5 even or whatever and can match the other $50 she needs, then I will give you double pts on Tynastera for it.

I can't do this often, but she's a great gal and I'd like to help so we can give her 30 days to try to fix her situation. If you can't help, no worries.. but if you can even spare a couple bucks it would mean alot.

If you do donate on her site please bring me something that shows me and Petition it and the amount and I will give you double pts for what it would have gotten you here.

her site is Edocsil.com

Thanks if you can :)

Jewelry Shop in all cities
Gemmie – 2010-01-27 00:21:34
We have a new Jewelry Shop in all cities. It offers items for sale, based on the sex of your character. Currently we have 7 items loaded for each, however we are open to suggestions - Petition only - as we have room for 8 more each I think. You will need to submit item name, with colors, and description *keep it short please*.

Note: Once you purchase an item there is no way to remove it - you have it for the life of your character. Also, these items do not have a buff, they are for decorative display in your bio only.

Enjoy
Clan War Vaults - Uninstalled
Gemmie – 2010-01-27 00:07:04
Sorry peeps, just way too many complaints about the pyramid walls.. players being in there for hours against clans that made their attack over 2K and up. So we have taken it away to even the playing field until JJ can edit and place a cap on the vaults. Enjoy

Gemmie – 2010-01-26 12:14:33
New: Someone that I believe and trust has assured me that Seasons was not a part of what was said/done. So, Seasons, I apologise for blaming and including you.


Since the launch of Facebook, Tynastera hasn’t had a group page but NOW we do! It’s the best way to get to know each other off site if you can't be on site. They’ll be special contests, offers and the odd bit of gossip ;). Right now we’re offering a rather good deal but I won’t ruin the surprise here. So please thank Ssyter for taking the time to make and oversee the group..Put your hands together for him!

Here’s the Link to the group :

Reminder about Staff Applications
Always&Forever Her Jxyt – 2010-01-26 05:26:33
We have said this before, but I shall say it again. IF WE look for new Staff Members then we shall tell YOU. The staff members we choose are based upon those suggested by the Owners and Head Adminisrator. Thus by Gemmie, Jxyt & Leonidas. If it comes to opening new spots and we have none in mind we shall ask for participation through a MoTD. If you however send us YoMs or Petitions, or ask us in chat or on an IM or e-mail, WITHOUT any of us asking for it, you shall NOT become part of staff. So please refrain from asking us to be staff, because the answer in such case will be a simple NO.
