The spam is not appreciated. There must have been some less obnoxious way of getting people's attention, for instance, over AIM or ICQ, or ONE thread pointing the people who opened accounts to the MiniTrade Forum. That is why you have one. Could you please be so kind as to not make such a mess of the general forum?

Mr. Kaiser Wyltheow I,I wasted no time in responding to you after reading your post to me.First let me say that my post to individuals are neither spam nor obnoxious! I made no more a mess of the general forum than you or anyone else who post in it. Have you posted such messages to the Baron of Elywnn for posting an announcement, or to Erik for posting about a history book?After all the Baron has a Barony and there is the University.What about your own post: pub9.ezboard.com/fshirero...=880.topic Quote:I was struck with inspiration today. As you know, we are always in a desparate search for citizens to populate Shireroth. Well, i thought about some stickers made by Scott (i think) that erik had...they had the yardistani flag and a notice saying that the object to which it was attached was property of the YAC....well...why not do that...and put a link to shireroth.org on them...and put them in places where they would be noticed...of course...I'm not advocating vandalism...place them on bulletin boards and stuff...if you want to deface things, well...that's you're own perogotiveokay...dinner with my GF...gotta go...i have plans! mwahahaha...I feel like erik....even mey spellinsg gpoing!!Oh yeah, Happy Single Awareness Day... ******* Did you chide Scott Siskind when he posted in the general forum for his Ministry?pub9.ezboard.com/fshirero...=800.topic pub9.ezboard.com/fshirero...=854.topic pub9.ezboard.com/fshirero...=882.topic pub9.ezboard.com/fshirero...=883.topic pub9.ezboard.com/fshirero...=870.topic pub9.ezboard.com/fshirero...=842.topic Did you say something about this post being in the general forum?pub9.ezboard.com/fshirero...=868.topic Did you – or anyone – complain when M.O.R.E. posted this?pub9.ezboard.com/fshirero...=839.topic Was anything said when this message was posted in the general forum?Quote:Reminder to All As your new MiniImNat...I would like to remind all to fill out the Census form before it is too late...I will be compling a list of cits and it would bew quite helpful if the current census form was filled out be all remaining active cits who have not yet filled it out......i know you are out there..... The Through-Marriage-Noble-Of- Brookshire There are more examples but I think my point is made, you’re just being an asshole!Austi

WTF are you trying to say, Austi? I know you're anything but an idiot so... I'd really appreciate it if you came out right away and explained why you're playing one. I spend my days enjoying the minty taste that surrounds Erik.

I’m saying that the Kaiser didn’t object when other Ministers posted multiply threads in the general forum and conducted the business of their ministry. He did the same sort of thing himself – yet there is a forum call “Kaisers Court” where he can do such things.Yet when I posted he got hot about it.It wasn’t because he objects to such things being done – or he would have said the same thing to others and he wouldn’t have made the same type of post himself. So what then was the reason? Obviously his problem isn’t with such posting – it is either with me or with having an economic simulation.Austi

[Scott Alexander]

I don't think he has a problem with either the economy or you. I think it's just that while all these people posted one thread at a time, you posted myriads of them, which was more noticeable. I might be wrong, though. I'm sure he appreciates the work you're putting into this.By the way, I hope you don't mind, I deleted that thread you edited to say "Never mind" Edited by: Scott Siskind  at: 2/22/04 8:27 am

[Kaiser Wyltheow I]

Exactly. You didn't need one thread per person. That classifies as spam. Can I have them moved to the MiniTrade forum, and can you create another thread directing people there?

[Austi Scot]

I wish you wouldn’t move them to the MiniTrade forum. My plan is to get a response from each individual and then ask if they will be ok having the thread moved to their home Duchy or Barony. Hopefully each person will say yes and the thread will then be moved.From that point forward I will be able to communicate with each individual in his or her own home. This is the reason there is a different thread for each person.Right now I’m not sure where each individual lives within Shireroth so I used the general forum.When I first started the economy up again I used one thread in the Ministry of the Interior forum, which says right under the forum name: “*Public Announcements from the Ministers.” My public announcement was picked up by Malarbor and put in the top banner. I think that lasted for a day – maybe it was two. However, there were no responses to my post in the Ministry of the Interior and there were no responses in Ministry of Trade.pub9.ezboard.com/fshirero...D=83.topic I don’t why there were no responses but it appeared to me that I needed to find a way to reach each individual if the economic simulation is to get off the ground. I don’t know if the going will be slow or if an economic simulation will take off – but if anything is to get going at all I need to bring it to the attention of the citizens here. If there is no response in a given thread by March 1 that persons’ economic account will be closed. At that point the thread started for the person should and can be moved to the MiniTrade where I will lock it along with closing their account.Is this plan acceptable?AustiP.S. How should reach others who are not currently part of the economic simulation?

A single post in General was all that was necesary. You never tried that. Wylþeow du GrifosThe Kaiser of ShirerothThe gods blessed you with power and a visionThe gods gave you life to accomplish a mission...
