Some weeks back Lucian Flame sent the call out to all of us carnival folks that he was itching to set up again for some fun. Lucian had chosen Great Lakes this time around and scouted about for a suitable location which he found on the Crumbling Continent.
Four plots were set down, four paid accounts, in an area which gave no restrictions. Construction began, goods were transferred and on March 12th, with help from some good folks on Great Lakes, especially the person gating from Luna when our "official" gate never materialized, Lucian Flame's Wee Carnival was opened to all. We had a great time watching everyone have so much fun and had planned to leave the carnival as it stood to open it again on Great Lakes before moving to another shard. It is, after all, a carnival, and they travel around a good deal.
On Tuesday, March 16th, this message from Lucian Flame to all the carnies:
"Alright everyone. This was in an email from mesanna. It isn't snipped from a larger message, this is it.
....
I would like to delete these houses in Malas, when will they be empty? BTW heard it was a good turnout. Good job on organizing this for the players.
...."
As you can imagine there was much confusion and gnashing of teeth... delete player houses from a legal location? None of us understood it.. at all. Lucian made an effort to get an explanation, this was the answer (Thurs March 19th):
"Just know those houses were not supposed to be a permanent structure. The player base would have my back side if I did that. If you need longer thank a week please let me know."
Now, it appears to me that she has mistakenly confused our little carnival with some other event as I can see no reason why any player housing is "not supposed to be a permanent structure".
Couple things of note -
I checked the first ten shards on the list, only three have no player houses on that island (Chesapeake, Origin and Sonoma).
The island due north of the one that housed our carnival, on at least three shards, has elaborate, and large, apparently EM-made mazes (did not try any of them, so no idea if they are still functional or leftovers).
Three of the plots belonged to Lucian, they are gone now. The other plot is mine and is cleared off. It's not the plots... had we been asked to move, told why it would be necessary, anything other than "clear out, I'm deleting them" then I would not be here. But we weren't given any courtesy whatsoever, so here I am.
and because I don't like anyone hiding out under different names
