[Septimius Severus]

Oh, I am not running down vets or anything. And there is some variety and some games that buck the apparent norm here.

Sometimes, you can't let past experiences color your thinking or harden your feelings. If Maerlande or any vet likes the concept of this game, then by all means, don't let my being the admin deter you from taking part. I won't be playing unless I have to fill a slot anyway.

As Chris pointed out, people who admin games, create mods, run servers for us, etc, do so because they want to. They give of their time freely to the community. Yet people are often quick to judge them or to attack or just don't appreciate the effort. They are not robots, are not perfect, but do the best they can.

I believe with Ashdod, the Children of Crom will have a better chance. They do have a lot going for them.
