I don’t know why but since I first spoke with you I felt that you were special (sounds like I’m a lesbian…).

Like I said to Brandon earlier - hey, I'm not gonna judge. ;)
But seriously, thank you for that really sweet and thoughtful post! I hope you can be more active soon, because it would be great to have you around for some more good talks. :D You seem like a special person yourself.
A weakness not mentioned anywhere would be leaking staff information. Unfortunately I have never understood the rule because it always seems to be a little bit different depending on whom you speak too. I don’t think you ever leak anything worth mentioning to anyone but it’s easy to make a big mistake in ts if you are mad at someone. I’ve heard staff say that telling a single player that there was a staff meeting that morning was leaking but I’ve also known staff to announce it in chat. Kari, this is in no way a fault of yours, because I trust that you have common sense on what is ok and not ok to say. I really think that this rule is in place for some of the younger staff members but that said you still have to follow it and know what is considered leaking to your higher ups. I mention this as a weakness because you do tend to converse with epick about modreqs and if you’re not careful a name could come out.
I'm pretty sure that telling people there was a staff meeting is not leaking staff chat... after all, anyone on TeamSpeak can see when a lot of staff members are in the Meeting channel. ;) But as for the rest of this - I'll be sure to keep this in mind. I don't believe I've said anything that could identify people (at least, people who haven't already been identified) when talking about modreqs, but I hadn't thought about how close I may have come, so thank you! I tend to want to talk to people out of staff channels, but when we're going to be talking about staff business, it makes sense to move there to make sure that we're safe to talk freely and don't say something we shouldn't in public.
Are you ok with spending your limited time as a staff member? Think about it for a while- no need to answer immediately. If you subconsciously would rather be playing I’m sure your work would not be as good or you could find yourself canceling perfectly good rl activities for a video game.
This continues to be something I'm watching closely... but after a bit of a rough start, time management wise, I believe it's worked out pretty well. I can generally spend more time on the forums and Skype than I can in-game, which to me actually would work even better with the Moderator position than it does Helper. I'd obviously like to just play the game sometimes, but I'm fine with making staff duties my top priority.
