1. Im sorry you dont feel like this is home anymore. Im not sure what to do to help that. I try very hard to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable. Sometimes, that just goes out of your hands.

2. This is insulting and very irritating lol. I have several sim stories going on right now. If you were on sim, actively engaging in roleplay, you could probably tell. Nothing is 'slowing' down. We have a very active community, very engaging. I have people constantly in my ims about everything, ready and willing. I have just ended the Nightstalker event that went on for almost two and a half weeks. Im working with Lily on a personal Elven plotline (sorry not all 'storylines' are going to include everyone though have the opportunity to branch out to multple factions.). I have a player suggested event running right now that I am also managing that seems to be spreading to multiple factions, mainly the forest ones and Astreya for now. I also have a huge, simwide event, thats already been put in motion. No its not the 'hate monger one' because this one fits the current ongoings at current, so I switched some things up. It will also aid Idoreth, as I am working with Corsella on it, to make their grand debut and try to put them in the spotlight, while actively stimulating Myrrine, The Wardens, and Astreya especially in it's wake. Stay tuned for that.

Storyweavers at this time are not something I really want, or feel I need. I have the gamemaster title, if I need help, I will ask for it. I.e Vix and I's topic of the Hatemonger plot, where I stated several times I'd pull from you guys to help me NPC. If I want to make these official in coming months I will. Also allllllll throughout the Nightstalker plot, people got 'loot' from the story. Whether it was from the player's own creativity, or me putting it out there, i.e trophies. It happened annndd honestly, the items they've taken have immensely driven the story, and been in play, almost 2 weeks after this plot concluded. Hence; going on to the new simwide plot that is set to dish out around August 1st depending on if the IC activity takes it that long or needs a little longer. So to assume nothing is going, just simply because I havent said anything, is kinda ridiculous. Im constantly working. I dont like to reveal plots because I want as many people, including my staff, to enjoy it with surprises and twists and turns. That is the least rewarding things about Storyweavers. If you're one, you sacrifice those 'wow' and 'holy shit this is happening' moments.

This isnt to say I dont appreciate the ideas, nor do I not want to work with you on them. Im not some well of unlimited ideas or creativity. I really appreciate it. I adore the ideas Vix has given me. The Hatemonger one just didn't fit the mold right now and I feel like we need more time to hash it out. Though instead, Im taking a mad dash from other suggestions she has given me because truly I value them. I will likely also need NPCs for this arch too and if you all would like to help me play them, of course I'd let you. Its just not the time for it yet. I want things to be as player driven as possible. So its hit or miss if we will actually need them yet or not. So again, stay tuned!

(Also going to point out that the nightstalker wasn't just a random sludge monster. So again you're missing valuable IC context that being around may have given you. Not saying that to be mean, just as a fact.)


3. Lag happens. Every sim. All sims. Some places are laggier than others. We've worked really hard to make the sim better, the forest better, to bide time until our rebuild which is happening very soon. We acknowledge the forest isn't the best on sim, beautiful, but laggy. However we are not going to rip something up that is literally a placeholder at this point. Which, you've all been told about the rebuild happening, several times, its been mentioned. We're hoping its done within the next month or two. Cause' ya know... Money is a thing.

4. The whole thing with Sera has to stop. Its gone past the point of 'issue' to obsession. This person hasn't really done anything, not even spoken, in chats really since that whole 'blow up' about a month ago. Lily mentioned something about favoritism via your list, which is absolute bullshit. Im not this person's bestfriend. I don't talk to this person every day. I am her sim owner, that is it. I've reprimanded her for things just as everyone else. If I was giving her things, or anyone things, that others were not recieving, or hanging out with her, rping with her, every day ( which I dont. I've only every rp'd with her twice. Wow.) I could see where the call of Favorites are coming from. I've disgreed with Sera on multiple occassions, told her no, and have scolded her. That whole situation with you v. her, I scolded her for that too but I cannot, as i've never done to anyone else, can force her to do anything. Why would you want an apology that literally was forced out of someone? I dont ask you all to love or to even like each other. As a team, you will work together. Thats all I ask for and at this point, you barely have to do that. lol Also the whole Sera thing v. Lily posting the sim restarts, Grant and I both searched the chats. Nope. Nothing. I posted a few days ago that the sim restarted on its own because I was on and why would we restart it twice and no one thanked me for that, nor am I looking to be thanked lol. Anyway, if you have much of a bone to pick with Sera, you can take it up with her. Im not middlemaning it, as it no longer has to do with the sim anymore, but personal vendettas and grudges. I scolded her. I told her to never do it again. Thats all I can do... and she hasnt. To say your isssues are not as much of a concern is as Seras... Im kinda like what the fuck? LOL I dont even talk to her really. *looks around for the various concerns this chick has and tries to find me giving a fuck about them more than others* I treat each of you with the same amount of attention. If I didn't *care* about your concerns, I wouldnt of requested for you to come speak with Me and Grant. I would of told you to fuck off. You dont see what happens outside of staff chat. So to make assumptions like that is hurtful and disappointing. I handhold a little bit more than I honestly should. Lily and I are working together on her concerns and trying to make her group active. Same with Corsella, she is the whole reason I flipped my timeline of events because it would help benefit her while also promoting everyone else. Blas, during the legion shit, I was livid. I was about to go tooth and nail for you. But from what you said, I dont do anything for you guys. Only Sera. lol.... ?

5. Please don't worry about me, though I appreciate it. Im on all day, every day, by my own choice. The sim brings me joy, happiness, and a sense of purpose. I am not stressed out by the sim. I am however, stressed out by this conversation. If I needed help, as I've said before, I will ask. I need help with moderating the sim's current and active situations as they arise, which is what Moderators are for and you two do quite well. As for applications; You had one complaint lol,  other than Lolo which I purposefully let hers sit due to her constant harassment of staff, and to let her dig her grave further. Which she did. I answer apps usually the day they come in ( I get emails on my phone), unless they are staff apps which have a waiting period until apps close and I decide. So what can you do? I want you to be around and rp. Not focus so much on the technical staff part of things. Have fun lol. This isn't as complicated as its being made out to be.
