    Do you guys remember a while back when Kaz sent out that inspiring email I'm just gonna copy and paste that here as a reminder to you all that were apart of this community when it was sent out and for all of you new to the community to you can see it all credit goes to Kaz for the email.

    Hello, everyone.

    We don't send out e-mails often, but when we do, it's usually something of importance.
    This time it's about our server and our community regarding our public appearance.

    I want us to be a friendly, receptive community. One that welcomes new and veteran roleplayers alike.
    So I encourage you all to be more open to mistakes and errors, and help people become better at roleplaying.
    We're not an elitist community. Sure, we have our standards, but we also want everyone to be able to have a chance at having fun in a safe and secure environment such as our server.
    Just please keep this in mind when playing.

    However, that's not the only reason you're receiving this e-mail.
    You can help us even more than just by being a good player.
    I welcome and invite you to leave an honest review of our server, especially if you enjoy us, on our comments section within our listing. You can find it here: http://starbound-servers.net/server/145/comments/
    The idea is that when people read these comments, they can better assess whether or not they want to join us.

    Now you'll have to make an account to leave a comment. If you plan to help us out by leaving a comment, then you may as well help us a little more by clicking the "favorite" button on our server listing.
    This helps us boost our score each month, and looks good on our listing. So please do that as well.

    Thank you,
    Kazyyk

    the times are troubled because people are making them troubled

    the never-ending bitching and paranoia and internet tinfoil creates a self-fulfilling prophecy wherein the toxic people only exist because of people believing there were toxic people in the first place

    the witches were never there

    you created them

    Because people created threads that whined and whined and whined and whined and whined and whined and whined and whined about these toxic people, people got annoyed and became toxic people. This was not a problem until people decided to complain about it in public on an almost daily basis.

    you have opened pandora's box

    you should have stopped before you started

    So, stop adding to it now. No-one is forcing you to type your responses, it's up to you entirely if you do or not. This goes for all of you, the entire community really, not just Edvyn. Stop posting about this toxic behaviour, stop debating every little point with eachother. Although I disagree with the way he says it, Edvyn makes a valid point in that, by going on and on about it, you're just fueling fire. Ignore toxic players, report them to the staff, don't react. If you're accused of being a toxic player, take a step back and think about your actions. Are you really being toxic? Maybe you feel that you're in the right, but really, we all feel that way. Maybe it'd be best to just let it slide, to keep what you feel about someone to yourself.

    There is a line between making a point, and flaming, and that line seems to be crossed by many people. Sure, the line might be blurred, and thus if you're unsure whether or not you're going to be stepping over that line, consider keeping your opinion to yourself to avoid coming across as toxic. If you're being flamed, don't respond. We can stop this toxicity problem at the community level.

    The reality is we only have a tiny handful of consistently toxic players, Edvyn being the foremost. Some may have moments if anger, a few others are just abrasive at times but overall the legit toxic players are few and far between, and typically given enough time they manage to find enough rope to hang themselves with :D

    As communities go, we're not doing to bad.

    it's not the amount of rope that's the problem, it's tying it

    my hands are too toxic

    Have you tried washing your hands? I highly recommend using White King Ultra Strength Bleach.

    You don't have to, Kaz. It wasn't directed at you.

    I'm gonna just drop something here out of preemptive anger, but if what Finestein said to DirtyGoblin was serious, and not a joke, that's not very nice, nor necessary :c

    I can't stop thinking about the enclave when I see your avatar, Finestein.

    Yes, but there must be justice first.
    Progress is a road paved with blood!
