Hey everyone,

I know I've been really mad recently since I lost all of my artwork and server data, but hear me out. I want to talk to you all about truth and how important it is in a private server.
First, I think I need to clean my slate before I can talk about truth. I just found out that Pete Ninja did not hack my laptop, nor did a virus. My laptop was made wrong by HP and so I'm returning it to get it fixed. I tried to apologize to Pete Ninja but I just got him talking how Arco isn't his slave and how he hacked my laptop. Sorry to the community also. I did wrong and I publicly apologize for my actions. If this thread ends up being my 3rd infraction then Husbey hates me.

Now, Truth is probably the most important factor in beta testing. I know that my friend Larry is the most truthful guy in the world. If my composition system is spitting out free +1's he's the one that puts them back and tells me the problem. Without truth and trust, you'll end up with people trying to take advantage of your kindness. It broke my heart when I found out that Larry's brother pked me over and over again while I was afk to get all my millions of silvers on my GM. I had to make myself indestructible because of him. I almost had two more of those kinds of people... but i stopped it you guys and here's how:
Trust your beta testers. Let them know why you're coding them a server. Tell them how much you trust in them and how much it means to you that they're helping you build a server. Let them know about you and where you come from, get to know them and become their best friend. Sometimes you get the Larry's brother... but you know what- it's so worth it to see those players smiling back at you that lets you know that you're doing something right... or it was when I had a server... now I have to start all over again since the crash.
Good Luck Everyone.
Back up your friends...
and uh... your server ;P
