99+ day(s) ago | The times the raffle is drawn varies, as I draw it when I have time after work, we`ve been going out for a meal on that day so it gets later and later xD |

99+ day(s) ago | Hmmm this so proves that I am right about players continuing to complain all through the staffs hard work trying to accomplish something nice for the players. They will complain even if your giving away free land lol. This will not change unless the players have confidence in the staff which at this time they don`t. |

99+ day(s) ago | So what time is the raffle? It`s only 0530 server time, but it is indeed 12/6/11 :) |

99+ day(s) ago | thats why u pick a ship u know how to use ;) its supposed to be a fun way to shake things up a bit without being overpowered..stop nit picking. besides, who`s to say you`ll even get picked 1st? :P |
ShadowKing{Akoni}
99+ day(s) ago | yeah i would like loyalty to the stack is useless get countered and your ship is gone |
NiHiLiM
99+ day(s) ago | i think prize #5 should be +250 land or +200 loyalty :) |
ShadowKing{Akoni}
99+ day(s) ago | Well Guardians cant UW so we dont get any rewards. we Cant ask to get another ship from a another list of our choice which can do if you complete UW and yes you can add a ship to the ship list just like aft act 2 mission 3 you get the free K hun LIi |
RageWolf
99+ day(s) ago | Having a ship magically added to your shiplist would be silly and over powering. And defeat the purpose for UW rewards. Also make sure to read the original post carefully please.
#1 A stack of your choice any ship, or any prize below yours. |
ShadowKing{Akoni}
99+ day(s) ago | So if i read this right you get a stack of a ship that you choose so you cant build ship only get it added to a stack and once the ship is destroyed in battle you cant get again
Or will ship be added to the shiplist |
RageWolf
99+ day(s) ago | Sorry that you feel inconvenienced with waiting while the rest of the gc population has a chance to sign up for potentially winning free things. |

99+ day(s) ago | this is taking way to long for a raffle should have been 1 week then we do this...... |

99+ day(s) ago | Its much appreciated GI just remember you will deal with garbage for your efforts. Their is a vicious circle of events taking place on the server.
#1 certain rules not properly in forced = grumpy players
#2 special events = unappreciative players= worn out disgruntled staff
#3 staff with attitude get flack from grumpy players
#4 drama spreads = goes back to #1 again
Regardless of all other things this game needs a democratic approach for its staffing, for the players, by the players so that rulings are balanced and the players can only blame themselves. I say qualified positions are voted in. This is the foundation im talking about. I like this game and its only degrading and all I want to see is it improved and it starts here, not with better ships, fixing bugs, or coded updates but by this......
Players must have faith and respect in the staff and this isn`t the case. And nobody in this game has more problems with authority than me. |

99+ day(s) ago | Don`t I know it, remember the last time I tried to do a Juicy Rewards? Sheesh! Got so fed up I plundered the 26k C2 instead of giving it away as planned. That being said, there may or may not be a Juicy Rewards coming up in the next couple weeks. Depends on how digging goes... |

99+ day(s) ago | @ Wicca
The raffle is a good start but as I stated in my thread "doesn`t updates??"doesn`t matter because all the staffs hard work will just be mocked and met with ridicule due to the lack of a proper foundation for player support here.
You can have weekly events and give aways and you will still get the same complaining from the players and in turn it wares down the staff that did all the work. |

99+ day(s) ago | Makes me laugh that y`all get the chance of something for nothing, and still the majority aren`t happy :P
Here`s my two pennies worth....
This raffle is brought over from UC (cue the booing), I have been running it there for a few months now, it`s just a little bit of fun to distract from the mundaneness that has become gamestotal. I offered it over to gc too, the offer was accepted.
Top and bottom of it, if you don`t want free stuff, then don`t enter, if you do, then do ^^ |

99+ day(s) ago | The vast majority of changes require stephen and we all know how well that goes. If you have ideas on how staff can improve the game, by all means, send one of us a pm.

99+ day(s) ago | you wish , I guess you (includes Stephen, Admins, Guide) must have more than 1 page of things TO DO. |
RageWolf
99+ day(s) ago | ` make things as they should be ` is extremely vague. If you feel you have valid points you wish the Staff to fix , be they bugs, or ship improvements / design changes, feel free to PM me a well thought out and detailed list. |
