For reasons that have not been a problem in months, and because the past few days we have been continuously antagonised and put under stress from other people Kav has been demoted. I know she has had some trouble in the past, but for a long time she has been a great admin. On more than most if not all others, puts in more time with people than I ever could.
Considering what was done to us the past week or so, considering the people who caused it and that through it all she has only been doing it for me, this shocks and disgusts me.
Obviously I cant keep playing where she isnt welcome, because it means im not welcome. As much as I care about the servers and the people on it, I wont keep playing when for the past week I have felt bullied and berated, where we have been under so much stress, and then at the end of it, where we came back and started playing happily, she has been kicked off for actions no worse than other staff members.

This is ********, Minecraft is a game. You play it to get away from the stress of real life. This is exactly why I left this damn game last November, I went to experience real life to escape the stress of a goddamn Minecraft server. Going eight months without any gaming at all taught me that life is terribly important. The outside world is going to leave you in the dust if you put all your attention to an online community. Games, on the other hand, will stay pretty well the same. Exactly the same; It's nothing but trouble, people can't get along and play one of the most relaxing games of all time because of a pseudo-class system that pitches players against one another to compete in psychological, social, and emotional warfare in hopes of earning petty titles. I don't know if this post breaks forum rules, delete it if it does. But it's ****ing nonsense and nobody likes it.
I'm not talking specifically to any one of you, but every one of you. This message also goes out to myself months ago, who got jealous every time another admin got "privileges" or "favoritism" aimed their way. It's a pointless thing to worry about; if you want to be an asset to this server, then be a goddamn asset. If not, don't pretend to be one. Get the hell along with one another, it's a game. It's a game.
I'm not leaving and I'm not saying anything on the subject hereafter. But it's all too much and if this server's community continues to collapse upon itself I won't be part of it. And if I'm not going to be part of the downfall, be damn sure I won't be part of the aftermath.
Find holes in my logic if they will have you. That's all I have to say, won't be sharing any more opinions. They're not usually my thing.
Just a reminder, don't ask for votes, only makes you look bad and less likely that you win. Don't use lies to get votes, I've seen people saying things like "Art says she'll vote for me because she thinks I'll be a good Mod" and I personaly think that people who spread these lies wont be good mods. And a last advice, do NOT vote for someone just because they are your friends, vote for the person who suits the moderator job the best in your opinion.
Remember being Mod isnt all about fun, it's mostly a hard job, as much as you enjoy giving out items and doing placements, the pressure isn't very nice.
Alright guys, I'm all settled into college and my classes have started. Like I said before I wanted to make a decision to play regularly only after finding out if I'd have ample time at school. It looks like I have a large amount of time to dedicate to wherever I choose to muck about online, and this is what I'll choose.
Ice - Users that are of the rank of Trusted or higher now have the ability to place Ice. Additionally, when an ice block is broken, rather than melting into water, it will simply drop an ice block.
Moderators and Administrators now have /mute on both creative and survival.
The live map is now live once more! You can view the map at http://map.keymc.me/
The server will be unavailable to the public for maintenance for roughly an hour , possibly more/less, tomorrow, August 8th at 2:00pm EST.
Felt the need to quote this as it hit a new page.
Also, I wanted to inquire about IRC. I hear people saying "oh, PlayerX is on IRC right now so blah blah." Also some people's names appear with [IRC] before them in-game. I legit have no idea what IRC is, though I know it's a chat thing of some sort, could someone brief me?
Today I have some sad news. I have a massive time commitment coming up soon, and one of my most important years of school is just beginning. I have decided that I no longer have the time or commitment ability to run Keystone. Therefore I will be stepping down as the owner of the Keystone network.
However, all is not lost! Our very own Demonic__Angel has stepped up to the plate, and he will be running things from now on. He now has control of both servers and has kindly volunteered to run both of them. He will be handling donations, elections, ban appeals, and the community. His email address is [email protected]. I will remain as a consultant, but not a full-time owner of either of the servers. I am very confident in demon's abilities to run Keystone.
I would like to thank each and every one of you for your incredible commitment to this game I have enjoyed for so long. You all have made it a great ride, and I've made a ton of excellent friends. From now on, I will try to visit as often as I can. If anyone needs to contact me, please email me at [email protected].
Thanks everyone.

The timing, just... the timing.
Damn it. But godspeed! And I'll see you around on here when you visit!
I got a new laptop, and I'll be moving into USC on August 18.
I'll be playing regularly (almost daily, hopefully) again when I move in and classes start. I'm also working on a new player skin that I'll wear permanently, so keep your sonic screwdrivers handy.
Looking forward to getting back with you guys, like really excited!
I'm not back, but I was told some stuff was going on in the last couple days; more people leaving. I read up, and I'm sorry to hear this. I told tennispro I'd support a decision to quit video games altogether, which is what I've done (and I've personally been very happy).
Anyway, sorry to be the first in a wave of madness... Later!

Got on today, and my computer overheated. Sorry if it appeared trollish.
Anyway I'll be getting on later tonight, then.
Love!
