Hello!
I wanted to address the current state of the server and how we can move forward from it.
Obviously, we, as in the players and staff, have dug ourselves into a giant hole that no one thinks we can get out of. Meepcraft has been holding on for a while now, and hope is almost entirely out the window. I'm not saying it's gone, I truly believe we still can bounce back again if we all come together.
So how, in the middle of the players fighting with staff, do you do this?
Well, it's obviously not easy, but, we can start a Town Hall discussion. I understand that this can be perceived as a very bad idea. But think about it this way. We mute everyone that's listening in the chat, and we gradually allow everyone, both staff and player, to speak their mind about what the issue is and what they want fixed and how they want it fixed. I can mediate this, but I would like to discuss with everyone until a solution is made.
Now, the most important thing to remember in these times is that everyone has made a mistake. There's no escaping that and I think acknowledging that and accepting our mistakes is how we move forward. I feel like both "sides" have unlawfully behaved towards the other in ways we don't want to see on the server.
Essentially, this town hall is to revise the foundation of our community. We all know that we can't survive on this server without other people, and that this community relies on each other.
If someone can suggest a date next week that would work for the majority of people to listen in on, please make a suggestion.
Thank you for taking your time to read this.
