Well, I can't speak for the Christian God, but my gods have no problem with this, as far as I know. (and if they had a problem, they would let me know...)
I'm trying to get a hold of
captain yoshi, because he has the narrowest availability, and I was hoping he could be more flexible. Unfortunately, the only contact info I had for him was his account here, so the site being down 100% took away from that moving forward. If anyone from Red Team (or anyone else for that matter) knows how to contact him, please let me know.
EDIT: And, now that I think about it, Let's just make sure that we are all on the same page here with communication. All team members, please add me to your Skype - Username: doram_baramour
If you do not have Skype (or do not want to install it) You can get to it in a web browser here:
https://web.skype.com/en/(We probably should have done this from the beginning. Thoughts for next time.........)
EDIT2: And if anyone has questions about why Skype, my answer is this:
- It's as fast as chat - faster than the forums.
- Posts sit there forever, and the entire log is saved, and displayed for you, each time you log in - better than IRC chat.
- It's not hosted on this server.
- You can control who is in on any particular chat, so we can have team discussions separate from general RO discussions, and your security is maintained.
And, no, we are not asking for voice or video chat, just text, in case anyone is squeamish for that reason. As for the Skype chat, considering points 1 and 2, it's like a cross between the forums and the IRC, with all the benefits of both. You don't have to be present to be part of the discussion, but if you are, things can move wicked fast. I never thought 3 would be that important, but that's life for you. Be prepared. (As a matter of fact, getting Runouw's attention on the site being down, and coordinating what had to be done to get it back up was much faster because of the staff chat we have on Skype!)
