The secret donator mystery

A few players have noticed that they now have an underlined name in chat which is a sign of having donated one euro, even though they had not donated.

It appears that someone has kindly been donating for other players.

Some may wonder why they received lines when others did not. Let me explain my reasoning behind the seemingly random selection. The people chosen were either my friends, people who had always been kind or polite, or those Syrnians who have been around for a long time but never had a chance to donate or have someone donate for them.

Those who complain about not receiving a line donation, there is a few reasons why this may have occurred: Either my magic wand is currently out of euros and therefor have not yet had a chance to thwack you with it, or you have proved yourself unworthy in some shape or form.

Unworthiness: Spamming, language, hostility, rudeness, being inconsiderate to other players and/or any other such behavior that I did not find appealing.

Yes, I donated for some people I don't even believe I have spoken to, and even for some who do not like me.

Why? Why donate so much? Because I can. I had the money available and I wanted to do something fun and positive for a game that I love so much. I wanted to see a streak of happiness infect world chat for a change instead of constant bickering and flaming. I enjoy sharing what I have, and if that means donating a few euros so I can draw a few lines and make some people happy, then I am all for it.

I remain annonymous because it is not only fun, but I do not want my mailbox filled with people whining that they did not get a line. I am not independently wealthy, I cannot donate for everyone. I will not donate for those that ask for it, and I will not donate for those that I do not know in some way.

So from this Syrnian to all of you, I hope this has brought some joy and happiness.

No, I am not Bill Gates. Son of Hassirar, you have spoken to me in chat quite a few times.

As for doing this to benefit me? No. I want nothing from this than to know I made a few people smile and others hope.

I fail on at least 2 of those things ;) ahh well, I like my name the way it is, No underline, if i wanted one my name would be _______ ;)

Now I'm really confused. The impression I get from others puts me right up there in the spamming, language, hostility, rudeness and being inconsiderate. Guess I'm being paranoid. But I'm sure as hell confused. :)

Personally I'd like to thank you for the donation and the criteria you stated in your first post. I owe you more than you think. Maybe it'll catch on and I'll do it for someone else.

Desann-everyone I gave a line got it for one reason or another. Obviously I either saw you doing something positive for someone, or you had helped me out in some way. You are at times a bit...frisky in world chat. Maybe disabling it for a bit and using reflective thinking will help you ;)

As for my magic wand, it should be replenished soon. I have a list I have quietly been compiling of people I missed the first two times. So expect a nice flow of lineage shortly. After that, I think I will go on vacation :)

Just wanted to thank you Line Faerie.

I haven't really been around all that long and so have no idea what I might have done to warrant such generousity, but for whatever the reason, it's greatly appreciated.

You made my day :)

Dear Line Faerie, I thank you for your gift but i feel i do not desrve it, I am currently trying to get the Mods to transfer it over to a fellow clan member for i believe she would enjoy it more than i would.

I apologise that i cannot accept your gift But i thank you for generosity :)

I can understand Bantha...and it doesn't hurt my feelings. However, I felt you desereved it and that is why it was gifted to you.

Son of Hassirar, you were quite nice to me :)

I consider everyline a euro well spent, for Syrnia is more than just a game, it is a community. This is the only way I can give back to Syrnia and I am honored to do it.

For those who still have yet to receive a line, patience. I may be on vacation for a bit...or I may not :p

[1] 05:33 PhoenixJewels[*TF*]: *coughs* Ahem, I have an announcement.
[1] 05:34 PhoenixJewels[*TF*]: I would like to finally solve the mystery that has been pestering Syrnia for awhile.
[1] 05:34 PhoenixJewels[*TF*]: I am The Line Faerie. Some of you may have known, others did not. That is all. *puts down megaphone*

[1]05:50 (Mod)Moderator: knew who the Line Faerie was (<-That's what they think )

Anyway, it has been great fun seeing the surprise and happiness of so many that I consider friends, good Syrnians and others I chose because other people brought them to my attention.

Please do not be offended if you were not chosen (or heaven forbid, upset because you were ). I had to stop somewhere because I got on a roll and spent more than I should have and now I have to live in a cardboard box I hope everyone had as much fun as I did.

Thank you Syrnia, for all the good times, may there be plenty more!
