Okay people,
This is to our Maintainers and Registered Board Members.
Before anyone starts PM'ing the GM's here and posting all sorts of questions about things (IE Cyan's rights, Guild's involvment in MORE, etc, etc) please note that we can only answer questions we have the answers to, and we can only answer questions about things that Cyan has said or announced publicly.
This means basically, any PM's to us (the Guild Masters) asking for more information will be read, but if you ask things that we can not answer (read that how you want to), you may not get an answer.
The same goes for posts made here in the forums asking those same types of questions.
Please understand that we are not into keeping secrets from anyone, however there are some things everyone needs to understand:
1) Pestering us (or Cyan for that mater) with questions, means we have to take time to answer them, even if it is a "We don't know." answer, that takes time away from important work of bringing MORE online.
2) Some things CAN NOT be answered, because there is only half an answer, or because Cyan is working on something that they need to mull over, clean up, or figure out. Think of us as a restaurant. We don't want to hand you a menu with all sorts of stuff on it, only to tell you "No, we don't have that." we want to be able to tell you "sure! We'll whip that right out to you!"
3) If Cyan has asked us NOT to discuss something in public......then it WILL NOT BE DISCUSSED! Don't pout or get upset about this. It's not because your input is not wanted, it's because Cyan can't work with mob of people.
4) Does this mean you will not be listened to? Absolutely not! The Guild Masters of the Maintainers will listen to each and everyone of your ideas. We have a Proposal System on our board here. We know that by listening to you, the fans, we can understand what people want better and can make sure Cyan understands that. The GoMa has always been about "serving the people" just keep in mind that we also serve Cyan and have to abide by their rules and wishes.
Congradulations to all you fans out there. Your support in the Guilds and belief in Cyan is what has made getting the rights back possible, and also what will make MORE a reality!
