agreeing with the GK's is bad (General Discussion)
agreeing with the GK's is bad // General Discussion77Apr 29, 2003, 7:05pm
Hey now I think that would be a great idea, some place with a few less rules
but still fun and then people can meet and chat all they want without the fear of stepping across any boundaries. Plus it would free up gate to the newbies and allow them a better chance at learning things the right way without all the extra help some citizens think they are giving. Thanks Bit let me know if I can help in anyway. Hugz does this refresh your memory [View Quote] alphabit phalphaApr 29, 2003, 9:25pm

Sounds like a good idea. Perhaps you could create a web based survey and
post it on here to see what people want, there are so many options afterall. Mazes Wacky races Name That Tune Events Trivia Events Large Scale events Parties The list is endless..... alphabit phalphaApr 30, 2003, 8:16pm

What are you talking of resolving? The fact that people complain about the
GKs? That would be a solution to that problem but it would also be runnning away from the problems they are complaining ABOUT.
