An Urgent Appeal

I am not a voice often heard on the boards or MOO. �In fact, life has been a bit hectic with all the identity crises, job losses, moves, and relationship problems I've had to go through in the past year. Nonetheless, I've been around, and seen a great many things come to fruition both on the player side, and the flipside of the Dome. � This place can be a wonderful and fantastic place to just get away from it all, take a mental vacation, be somebody else for a little while, and above all else, have fun. You can be anything from a pickpocket to a corp-hired mercenary if you play your cards right. The map, though not large, holds a treasure trove of places to go, and there are always new chars popping up, people to chat with, brawl with, and even share a bit of RP time. �Admin, though not always the most prompt, are willing to lend aid when players have questions, comments, suggestions, or just need help. �Enforcement of the rules that govern gameplay has kept out a great deal of potential troublemakers, thanks to the efforts of both playerbase and admin. New code is being put into effect in as fast a manner as possible, allowing for a host of improvements in gameplay as time has progressed. And above all else, we have seen a massive influx of new players willing to experience what we have have to offer. �These are some great achievements, fantastic achievements for such a close-nit community. Everybody in this wonderful setting, players and admin alike, have put a lot of effort into making Sindome such a great place, and because of those efforts, this MOO has persisted even amongst the tide of MMRPGs and high-tech video games that have spawned in the previous two, three years since the MOO's inception. I'd say that this is a great thing here, to be able to stand that kind of pressure and still come out strong. But it's not, not when we have to lose the very people who work behind the scenes to build this place, who have been doing so from the ground up for Gods know how long. Behind it all are those tireless individuals who have been here, spending hours of their time fixing bugs, checking histories, celling/toading/newting unruly players, and implementing the RP to make this MOO such a fun and enjoyable place to visit. Sure, the above stated are only a shallow example of what the admin have done for this MOO, but who among us is willing to doubt how much blood, sweat, and tears have been poured into the entire undertaking that Sindome has become? These people are heroes! They've put a helluva lot more work into the MOO than I've certainly done, and now they're walking away. Arguments and disagreements often destroy the best of things, and on the surface that may seem the only reason why this dreadful, historic breakup is taking place, but there's more to this than you or I will ever know unless the truth is brought to light, or rather, is allowed to be brought to light. Sadly, I doubt this may ever happen, but the entire reason for this post isn't to snub or exclaim how sad it is that we're losing so fine a group of admin as Rastus, Nixxi, and Damon. I'm here because of what I've seen on these very boards. I cannot believe my eyes when I see so many individuals simply saying goodbye, instead of entreating those very people who are parting to stay, to somehow reconsile their differences, and find ways, instead, to work out the misunderstandings that have caused this entire mess. �More is happening on the MOO at this time than ever before, and we are on the cusp of something great. A loss this horrendous will set us back a very long way, I'm most certain, and that I do not want to see. Therefore, I entreat you, Damon, Rastus, Nixxi, to stay, and find a way to reconsile your differences with Johnny. I ask you, Johnny, to find some way in your heart to be more forgiving of those who do not share your views. And I ask you, players, to rally behind these efforts, and show your support for continued communication and cooperation between all parties involved in this matter. Thank you, and good day.
When I read that open letter, it made me genuinely sad. �I think of all of the people on this game as friends, player and admin alike. I don't care who you are, or who your character is, if you're on the game you share one common interest with everyone else here. I wanted to beg the admin to stay, I really did. It just seems to me that they have their minds made up, and that whatever the problem is, it must be huge for these 3 people to turn away from something they've put a good part of their lives into. And personally, I -really- don't want them to go. However, if their differences are truly that bad and can't be resolved, then nothing we do or say can make them stay… And I can especially understand their desire to go when they say that it's no longer fun for them. This is supposed to be fun. It's supposed to be an escape, not additional stress. I hope things change, and the admin can resolve this. I really feel that the MOO is losing a large important part of itself by these people leaving. I mean, for chrissakes, look at the project list, and see how many of those have Damon, Rastus, and Nixxi's names on them. They work -hard-. Don't get me wrong, so does Johnny and all of the other admin, but part of me wonders if perhaps a little part of their wanting to leave is a feeling that they're unappreciated. Hopefully, though, by reading these two threads, they'll realize that that's not the case at all. We love you guys.

Now, as I said in my other post, I don't know any of them too well, but I do somewhat know Rastus. Since I'd feel uncomfortable gravelling at the feet of someone I didn't know, I'll just get down on my knees and beg Rastus to stay. (This doesn't mean I don't want Damon and Nixxi to stay, because I do.. )

*gets down on her knees and attatches herself tightly to Rastus's leg* PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON'T GO!!!
*puppy dog eyes*

We pretty much all want 'em to stay, don't we? But the issue is what -they- want. Even if we players could convince them to stay, would you really want them to be stuck doing something they don't really want to be doing just because of player pressure? Isn't it better to support them in whateve they choose to do? If they ever -want- to come back to SD, I'm sure they will, but pressuring them into it is disrespectful of them as human beings.


I think we've made it obvious that we respect them. And I highly doubt that we can put so much pressure on them as to make them do something they don't want to do. All of their work has been on a volunteer basis so far, and if at any time even before now they truly didn't want to stay, they just woudn't. They're people, and they do what they want. We're simply expressing that we want them to stay. We're making it known that we care, and that if it -was- up to what -we- wanted, they'd never go. I hope that whatever they choose makes them happy. I'm sure they have much more involved lives than worrying constantly about what their MOO peers want them to do. Unless we all go to their houses and knock on their front doors, begging them to stay, I don't think they're going to feel very pressured by us.. At least, I hope not…
If it would help at all I will gladly add my voice to that of Grim in asking that they stay, but only if they feel it wouldn't be to their detriment and only if they feel that they would be able to do so happily. And I'd be more than happy to attach myself to Rastus' other leg if neccessary…or maybe one of Nixxi's I'm sure her's are lovely. Or even Damon, though I don't know him and he might find it wierd.


Seriously, if they feel that they can stay I'm sure everyone would love for them to. I am, as always, in awe of the amount of work that I have seen attached to their names and the will be greatly missed and I suspect in a way Grim is right that their leaving might be detrimental to the moo and will certainly set it back some.

I sat down here roughly 10 minutes ago with the sole intention of making what I plan to be my final post to these forums in my capacity as an (ex) Sindome admin. Somewhere along the way of reading this new thread I lost the motivation to say what I had to say, so, that post shall come later this evening.

I fear the post, once made, will be quickly deleted. I like to hope it won't be, I'd -like- to thing the remaining admin would show me some respect in posting my final words, even if they don't like what I have to say. Sadly, in the last few days I've lost all faith, respect and any ounce of kinship or friendship I had with the man that wields the ultimate power to silence me in these forums.

For now, I'll address the questions raised in the last few posts that have diverted me from what I came here to post…

First and foremostly, in referece to Desolates first post, I certainly, and the others almost definately, do not have a lack of player appreciation even remotely on our minds. While I must admit I'm absolutely -stunned- by the response this event has prompted and cannot express how much everyones support means, the fact that people -played- our game was all the appreciation we ever needed. Each time that 'highest player count' on @who went up I felt good. Damnit, I felt great. I'd log onto CS and check their player count and when ours was higher I'd dance around like a loon, one in the eye for those that said Sindome would never amount to anything. Goddamnit, when I started playing Sindome the highest @who count was about 14 and the average was like 6 or 7. CSers mocked Sindome as the wannabe, the ship that would never sail, let alone float. Then we -arrived-. I remember the day when I actually FELT Sindome had 'arrived', the first time I saw our player count higher than CS's at a BUSY time of day. I'm no big fan of sports, but that day I felt just what it was like to see your team score against a superior opponent in a cup final game...

Meh, that went on longer than it should have...

I remember -knowing- I would never leave Sindome. Damnit, this summer was THE summer when my dream to have a Sindome tattoo was going to be fulfilled. This was the year I was going to permenantly mark my body with my dedication to SD. Thank GOD this happened before and not after...

I appreciate your efforts to "bring us back" but I'm afraid the damage is done. Things have been said that cannot be unsaid, feelings have been formed that cannot be forgotten. I had high hopes for Sindome but now I'm left with nothing but a bitter taste in my mouth and selfish hopes that it fails miserably and is forgotten.

I'll post again later. I fear what I have to say will doubtless make some of you think much less of me and others will dismiss as self serving propoganda. Nevertheless, I will say it. If you want to read it then I urge you to let Johnny know you have issues with his recent censorship of these forums and deletion of posts that do not meet with his approval.

And on a side note, Damon is away on 'manouvers' or something until Sunday night, otherwise I'm sure he would have things to say in reply to you all.

And on a final note (for this post). For those of you perhaps formulating certain opinions that the admin have formed into two 'camps' in this war, I restate the fact that all three admin left in seperate incidents with no connecting factors. I have NOT 'joined' Damon and Nixxi, I have not once connected to "Damon's Sindome" and have, since we all left, spoken to him ONCE, briefly, to "chit-chat" about "feelings". By all means address us together, but do not assume an "us vs them" scenario. When I post I speak solely for myself.
