I'm here to help. Even if I'm not councillor I can still be helpful in promotion. Maybe we start a go fund me to fund streamers like farms or blodir or me so we stream more often? Asking for a friend.

I imagine we lose a lot of new players due to the toxicity that goes on. I think it would be good to do some sort of email survey to all registered users of the forum asking how supportive, welcoming and friendly the community is or is their experience more consistantly negative. This game has a steep learning curve and I often think between that and the toxicity it's a wonder anyone sticks around.

Salt and toxins are natural byproducts of emotional investment and therefore an indicator of a nice and competitive community. You are getting it all wrong you soft nooblet.

I think this response when combined with the fact you are currently banned for in-game toxicity proves you would not be a good candidate for encouraging new players.

I guess this means you don't need a front-end dev anymore, right?
