Griefing Notes:
- Griefing is the act of (but not limited to):
* Removing other blocks placed by other players

Troubleshooting and Q&A:

Q: How do I respond to the Feedback Requests?
A: Talk directly with Espionage724 on Evolve

Q. Why is the server laggy?
A: The server is hosted on a residential connection in the United States (East Coast). Players connecting to the server that are from different regions may experience higher latency. Players who are being relayed in the party may also experience higher latency. When the server is populated (10+ players at one time), the server CPU may also become overloaded.

Q: I have friends who want to play on your server too, but they don't have Evolve
A: Invite them! http://goo.gl/Ovm7U

Q: Anything I can do to help the server?
A: I would love donations to buy better server equipment! The CPU alone is in dire-need of an upgrade. Contact Espionage724 on Evolve if you wish to donate (donators may possibly receive some kind of in-game benefit)

Q: Why doesn't Espionage10203 ever speak?
A: Espionage10203 is a server hosting placeholder. I don't respond to messages from this account most of the time, and also deny friend requests most of the time.
