Title : ~

It has been suggested that I have fostered a lot of the
negativity and nurtured a natural selection of assholes
by my laissez-faire administration habits. That players
feel free to abuse the wizards who do work because they
have no fear of retribution. To some extent I beleive
this is true, I have had a very laid back attitude towards
administrative actions until pushed to an extreme. I
have held this beleif mostly because I feel that often times
wizards behave just as badly as the players, and felt that
why should the ownership of a level 50 wizard entitle you
to be able to win any confrontaion with a player?

However, I support the staff here, and they have asked
overwhelmingly for a change in administrative practices.
To that end, I turn over the administration and policing
of the player base to any approprite level wizard, and
encourage you to take any action you feel appropriate to
maintain the "fun and playable" atmosphere of Tsunami. By
in large, I feel the bulk of the playerbase will be
unaffected, they exp, and war chatting and having fun, but
the assholes and chronic whiners who possess a feeling of
entitlement due to the fact they have played for 8 years, will
no doubt scream bloody murder, but I guess they are part
of the problem anyway.

The flame board and flame channel have been removed, while
my intention is not to quell free speech, I am also bowing
to the obvious inciting nature of these venues.

Moral of the story, be nice, play well with others, be
respectful to the people who try to provide you an<r>entertainment free of charge.
