Friends was the wrong word. Appropriate acquaintances sounds better?
I have spoke to and shared stuff with Dreto in the not too distant past. I have worked with Darkestkiller, Reqviem, Yurneroo, HuninHune and others.
But who can state here right here, right now that they are friends with me?
Look, just be open with who you are because it saves it from happening further down the line when someone might want to use it against you.
Anyway, "good luck with the server" but keep a very close eye on that balance. Scouts didn't quite need such big boosts so be careful with what you implement to draw players in.
