The rules are being re-written to make them clearer and so that everyone understands them. It will be interesting to see what differences there are. I often wonder how many people read a long list of rules. Its a bit like when you install a program and you click you agree to the licence agreement, that you havn't read ;)
With the stockhouse recently fixed, we know there is coding being done on Syrnia. So we can expect a few updates, which I presume will include the release of Syriet amongst others things.
Something to look forward to in the near future!

3 hours of mod breaking the rules
Today a mod (KeNn) continously broke the rules in world chat, foreign languages, trading in world chat, posting many non syrnian urls etc. Yes it was reported, no nothing was done about it. Even though one of the urls causes tons of popups which means you have to kill your broswer in task manager.
Great example from a mod as to how others should act....

Mods silence Poj shocker
2008-07-26 18:24 Moderator
your mute has been removed but if you say anything more about the moderators or if you post that blog in syrnia you will be muted again.
**************************
Yep, its official, the mods are trying to silence me. I am no longer allowed to advertise this site in syrnia (was muted for advertising a non syrnian url, rofl), so you are all going to have to do dodgy back street trading of the syrnia corner url in future :-p
Now I'm ready to be jailed and give up the game completely if a moderator is going to tell me I can't talk about them. That's just ridiculous. Many are complaining about the same modding issues that I have brought up, so it would be better for them to sort the problems out than to silence their critics. Theres way too many critics to silence for a start. All these people want is to improve the chat and stop all the crap modding mistakes and mods helping friends out regarding mutes etc.
If the mods want to silence me becouse of previous posts here, then it shows you that they don't like the truth to be known.

Pirates stockhouse bug fixed
I am reliably informed that the stockhouse bug the pirates have had for the last month or so has now been fixed.
This means that pirates can now add to the stockhouse again, which means that we should start seeing pirate invasions again soon!!

Ignore list and private messages
Although it has not been announced anywhere, I am reliably told that as of a few weeks ago, adding someone to your ignore list will also stop you receiving private messages from them in the game.
Currently it is not clear if you still receive thief messages from players on your ignore list.

The moderators story
Some of you will find this interesting, some of you will already know, some of you won't care. For the latter of you, stop reading now ;)
In the past there were calls of unfair and biased modding, as there still is today. Back then people who complained that most of the mods were from the DW clan were called conspiracy nuts and laughed at. Since then, its pretty much common knnowledge that the conspiracy nuts were correct!
If people had known this at the time, there would have been riots as people would have understood certain decisions by senior mods, one of which was/still is DW-Spindoc.
So, what the mods did not want to you to know, was these DW members were all mods, and there was only a couple of non-dw mods:
Calgor
Abu
KeNn
Muat
manda
SaucyWhopper
Spindoc
Dave_Clarke
Theodor
There are suggestions there was another DW mod but as it has never been confirmed so will not be mentioned.
Now it wouldnt have been a problem with a single clan being moderators if the modding was fair. But anyone who spoke bad about DW were muted/jailed and harassed by the mods. The DW mods could close any thread they wanted that said anything bad about them too.
With Spindoc being a senior mod, DW always had one of their own guys handling the complaints. So when many people complained about the "Hail DW" greeting, nothing was done becouse DW were the mods. So you can start to see how the modding was corrupt.
But then the mods had to allow TL to use their "carp diem" greeting, to stop people complaining that DW had a greeting, and also so they could say that another clan uses a clan greeting (protecting their hails). Even though the carp diem broke the foreign language rule. The decision to allow this was made by senior mods, of which spindoc is one. To protect their hails they even allowed me to greet my own clan in Japanese (although I was muted once for it, mod mistake), and changed the rules accordingly.
Due to the many complaints about the bad modding, finally some new mods have been chosen which are from different clans. Unfortunately it seems they don't have the experiance of the older mods and thus are muting people for stupid reasons. We are told by senior mods that they are new and will make mistakes, we just have to live by their bad mute decisions while they are trained. I don't see how 'common sense' can be taught to someone though.....
Even with the new mods there have been proved cases of people being let of with stuff becouse of who they know, yet people who argue with a mods clan member gets muted. Threads pointing out mods mistakes get deleted. The mods way of dealing with people who point out their mistakes is to silence them.
Not many old DW members are still mods, we have new mods, yet the problems remain. Is this a case of power corrupts, the rules are wrong, a senior mod need replacing (personally I think LadyRaven does a good job most of the time, so should stay), or both the rules and mods need scrapping and start again from scratch?
We couldn't trust the mods before, and it seems we can't now.
As to the original point, the people who disbelieved the conspiracy nuts were wrong. Even now some people side with the mods, when they don't have a clue whats going on. Some people genuinly don't care. Some have egg on their face. Life continues....
This is just a random post with some random info. I will post specific occasions of modding corruption with proof, inside mod information they don't want you to know, and other titbits of information between other more light hearted news articles ;)

Storehouse / Pirate Invasions
Currently the pirates Storehouse is bugged and due to this they are unable to send in invasions over to the main islands.
The problem has been there since the new Webbers island was released. It is believed that when M2H added the ability to attack Webbers island, the bug was introduced.
So far there is not eta as to when this will be fixed, so don't expect a pirate invasion any time soon.
