Hey. A number of you have contacted me in-game, posted here on this forum, and emailed me directly about how much you like what I've been posting in recent weeks.
So, first, thanks a great deal. I'm humbled by the feedback, it encourages me (perhaps NOT such a good thing), and forces me to further refine what few insights I have.
BUT!
I'd rather you were all contributing to the conversation here. Joe wants feedback from more than just me, the Counts (St. Germain & Sessine) and a handful of other longtime players.
Tell everyone you know this forum is open, Joe is avidly listening and responding, and that's what makes this game so very, very rare, and escalates its already meteoric awesome quotient.

Engaged admin/gms/gods are totally freaking rare in the game space.
If you don't know already how lucky you are to have found Joe's game, then you need to take a look around.

This is the most open, collaborative, responsive gamespace I've discovered in more than two decades.
It's special.
That should be shouted from every office tower.

Now, for us Yanks, get out and VOTE NOW.
Then tomorrow, that civic duty attended to, get your fingers and keyboards together and type what you'd like to see for Season 2 here, and encourage your fellow players to do the same.

I'll be here, looking for your responses. (Hajen, Sessine, Norah, and others -- I'm indebted to you all for your kind words.)

Now, let's get busy on figuring out what Season 2 should look like, and help this wonderful Island become many different flavors of awesome.

Much love,

~Crash

Aww. You've warmed the cockles of my cold, black heart, you have. And let's be honest, you've had some bloody good ideas too.

And yes - VOTE, DAMN IT. Not just in your presidential elections, but in how we're gonna take this game forward!

Dear Dan,
Thank you.

One problem I have is that I'm not just interested in my own ideas. I like finding the efficient path between many ideas. So yeah, more responses here would help with that. Can't do it all on me own. Nor can any of us.

All best,

~Crash
