Ende has just informed me very passionately that some LSHRV members have insulted Sunny in one way or another. I haven't read any of their posts and from I understand they have been deleted. From what I discern from Ende's fuming is that some LSHRV members have done two things:
1) Taken lightly the plight of RL person who played Suncraft's account
2) Nobled his villages in-game
As for the first one, I apologise on behalf of LSHRV leadership for any intentional or unintentional insults, jokes, or trivialisation of RL person, his illness or even worst scenario, by our members. No one has right to attack a RL person, especially in cases like Suncraft's.
As for the second one, I will publish a part of my reply to Ende:
"(We wish to respect all your members- RL persons. [but]Don't translate this into the game. You made your request, apparently, from what you're telling me, someone didn't think your request should be honoured, [Norym nobled Suncraft's villages? haven't checked really] and the game goes on. That is not a disrespect towards the RL person Sunny - this is only YOUR decision to see it this way.
When OE from Hippo had his car accident, when some of our members had family crisis, when our members lost their jobs, ended up in the hospitals, their villages were not spared,and rightfully so. We didn't even publicly divulge this information. This is the game, villages are there for taking. While RL persons will always be respected, their villages in TW are emotionally and cognitively detached from them."
I say again, we are very sorry that RL person Suncraft is going through such a challenging time, but I do not accept the reasoning that attacking his villages is a sign of disrespect towards him. I personally will not attack his villages, and now in fact I'll send a circular mail asking LSHRV members to sustain from them, but I do not see that as a sign of respect or disrespect - that's a game and it's going on.
Now you may sanction me or despise me, but I stand by this post. Respect to ALL RL players - don't translate this into TW game.
