    Voters, please mention my real name Walter in the suggestion box after you vote (only way to tell which are EL players) and you'll be entered in a raffle to win a rosto and a couple of other items worth over 50k total :pickaxe:

     

    Edit: please don't just leave my name in the suggestion corner. If you can, try to genuinely give a suggestion on how the school can spend the money.

    Hey guys and Gals! Pride here :pickaxe:

     

    So I won't try to write a whole essay trying to convince all of you, but I will do it very concisely. I just graduated last June from the high school I transferred to after my freshman year. Metropolitan Arts and Technology is a project-based charter school located in San Francisco. The staff is just wonderful, and the student body is also very inviting. This prompted me to join the Student Leadership Council (think student government) and while I was working there as Director of Activities, I saw just how much everyone loved the school. No cliques, no harassment, everyone got along. There was always someone willing to help out with the school, and because we strive away from the traditional bookwork that most schools have, we are not part of our city's school district. They technically have no jurisdiction over us, but this leaves us without their funding and instead, we rely on other private organizations (Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, for one).

     

    We have also been moving around a lot, as we have no campus to call our own. The district has been jerking us around and many of us believe that they feel threatened by our way of doing things. Group projects and hands on learning over sitting in a room for hours, reading out of a text book. They have tried many times to shut us down, but we managed to stay alive because of our results.

     

    Over 90% of our graduates go on to college, and if you look at the numbers for other school, it is definitely impressive. I don't know how many of you will actually take the time to vote, but I have seen the compassion and kindness many of you in this community have shown. From concern to issues in real life, to setting up raffles for in-game items in exchange for a small donation to cancer organizations. This may not mean much to too many, but our educational system needs some adjusting, and my school is one of the few in my city to try something different.

     

    Here is the link. It does require you to like Kohl's page. You do get to vote up to 5 times for a school, so please do that: http://apps.facebook.com/KohlsCares/school...are&ref=mf#

     

    If the link doesn't work, please look up Kohls and then find our school through the search feature. Metropolitan Arts and Technology High school located in San Francisco.

     

    Afterwards, just leave a reply, telling them that Walter told you about the school, and that you support us or feel free to just share a though. We're a very small school (~200 people), and the bigger schools with decent funding outnumber us greatly so any support is great :]

    I agree with the cooldown thing that Handy mentioned. No cooldown on food, but regular cd on other items.

     

    I was there with a bunch of people on the opening day of the PK server, waiting for it to get started and having our chars wiped. The PK was really good for a bit but then people started leaving when it slowed down :[ I remember Sistema and I were the only ones left in MASH ;_;

     

    I don't know if the alliance of some of the guilds was a reason, but it didn't seem like much people attacked each other. I dunno how it's like now, but perhaps erasing the #set_ally_guild command might bring things up a bit.

     

    And another issue I had was that I couldn't afford to pay for like 5 alts so I had to work slowly while lots of people kinda sped along. Perhaps if you paid once for the PK server, you get an extra 2 or 3 characters free of charge?D:

     

    btw, I'm interested in the PK server if anyone has a char(s) they don't need.

    tbh i feel like this is a big sick joke.

    how can u say ur going to sell half-baked siggies but cheaper? if they want cheap siggies i would gladly sell them one :pickaxe: they would only get 1/5th of the whole siggy tho.. Honestly? what your doing doesnt seem like you care; u make your post seem like your doing this for the "lesser" people who cant afford a 10k siggy.. but 10k is a standard. We (other siggy makers) put EFFORT into making the siggy to match our buyers' interest. You just dont seem to kare; If the community really want half-baked siggys thats made by someone who doesnt give a rat's arse about the quaility.. then be it. :pickaxe: but once they see that most of your work is only half-hearted.. there will be decent siggy makers out there who can easily take your place. Atm the 1750gc seems like a "get rich quick and steal other hard-working people's business" scheme. And imho.. Your siggy's not even decent enough to be called siggies. but hey;.. you dont care; you just want "CHEAP SIGGYS" .

     

    :pickaxe:

     

     

    Who are you to say that his siggys are "half-baked"? Meche puts 110% into all of his work. He's just trying to say his skill isn't equal to yours or forever's atm. I personally like the work he does. Keep the crap off this thread.

    After hearing cycro out and confirming that he was completely against BJing,Scamming,Macroing,etc. and getting input from other members, I have decided to give him one chance at this. To be honest, Cycrosism has been nothing but helpful in the guild, especially to the newer players. I'm pretty sure has changed and is willing to contribute positively from here on out.

    I don't know what kind of beef the community as a whole has against him (I don't think I was around for it), but I'm willing to give him this shot. Any more broken rules and it's a removal from the guild.

    P.S. I hope you're fine with this, Paul
