Staff Announcements

Welcome back shadow! 

YAY! Welcome back

Hello everyone,

I am pleased to announce that I have selected SpitfireDust to be my first deputy!  There are several reasons:

• He has helped bring together a new town on the server, Wonderland, and a nice little community to go with it (pun intended).
  
• He has helped out with several other projects, including a couple of roads.
  
• He keeps in touch with other players outside of the server, which I think is a big plus.
  
• He has been nice and helpful on the server in general.
  

I have to say that he also reminds me of a younger version of myself, which I think is a good thing.

With that, congratulations and welcome, Dust! ^^

WOO! CONGRATS SPIT!

Great job spit!

I'm going to be camping all weekend except for Monday, so I won't be able to get on. I know I haven't been on much because of school, but the weekends would be the prime time for me to join, and I can't this weekend. So I'm just letting you guys know.

Hello all,

Coco has returned and is able to once again assume her Moderator duties.  Welcome back!

Wb coco!

Hello all!

It is my pleasure to congratulate Hannah for her promotion to the rank of server Moderator after her remarkably-successful and gloriously-fun term as server Deputy and Commissioner!

Hannah needs no introduction for many of you... once a shy girl barely able to speak, she now constantly communicates, mingles and engages with so many of you, including myself. Once plagued with an array of insecurities about her own abilities, now she has no qualms with stretching beyond her ever-expanding comfort zones. Once paralyzed with fear even to ask a simple question, now she regularly delegates or gets the information she needs to finish a task. Once interested in nothing more than to be small, invisible and inconsequential, now she makes her presence known and trusted. Once plagued by a variety of ailments, she eventually saved herself through the power of her own remarkable listening, as well as a bravery she still rarely acknowledges she has. And above all else, she had the strength of character and responsibility to withhold from this advancement for some time now, until she herself felt ready and capable to live up to new expectations. 


In short, I can't help but feel very proud of Hannah, and I hope she is or will be just as proud of her accomplishments. More than a loyal and trusting staff member, Hannah is a pupil, colleague and now a dear friend who will do what it takes to keep us safe, happy and appreciated.


I hereby proudly request that Hannah be offered the opportunity to become a Moderator on our server, and join the elite cadre of staff members entrusted with unfettered access to the very heart and soul of the server. Thank you very much!

Hannah was voted in through a parliamentary-style staff election featuring a respectable 82% voter turnout, with 14 votes in favor and three abstains due to unavailability!

I want to thank all staff who participated in giving Hannah such an enthusiastic vote of confidence, as well as all players who have helped make her the remarkable staff member she is today! 

YAY CONGRATULATIONS HANNAH!!!

Congratulations on becoming moderator Hannah!

Congrats hannah!

Congratulations Hannah!

Thank you. ^^

Hi all, this Saturday Hannah and I will be in France for a week and neither of us are bringing laptops so we'll try and stay active as we can on the forums. Thank you and wish us luck!

Yay, happy awesome French birthday, Mimi!!!  And yay Hannah!! ^^

Oooh, la France! Au revoir, Hannah et Mimi!

We are back from holiday now, France was amazing. I wish I could stay there longer but I've been missing the server! ^^

See you around!

Going out of town to visit with family from tomorrow until sunday. I won't be able to get on the server, but will be on steam occasionally.

I'm back early due to bad weather on the way.

Oh... sorry to hear that! I hope it was at least good while it lasted! ^^;

Hello all!

It is my pleasure to congratulate Kacii for her promotion to the rank of server Commissioner after her superb run as our server Deputy!

Kacii's story is one of persistence and expectations. I've known Kacii for a VERY long time, and have seen AND heard about her exploits going back as far back as the early days of Gunia's server. Although young, she was a player of vast presence, with a strong spirit, an independent flair, a personal sense of justice, and a frequent hunger for conversation and roleplay. She reminded me a bit of our old staff member Ajjget, but with a rock-solid stability about her that always made her desirable as a potential staff member. 


 She was SO desirable, in fact, that she always turned down initial requests for a Deputy spot, or simply never expressed much interest in being anything other than a player of the people; and for the longest time remained rather aloof of any prospects of advancement in the server. Despite befriending many of us, occasionally volunteering for citizen whitelist reviews, and standing up to bad players and bullies on the server, she simply wanted to remain fiercely independent as a player. It was an admirable trait, so I personally had to respect that even as I shelved any prospect of ever seeing her even as a Deputy... and more so after she finally formally declined an official offer by Mimi to become a Deputy. She would forever remain as one of the greatest players we ever had (and a good sport for chicken-related humor), and that commitment is certainly paid a homage to in my April Fool's 2015 article. ^^ 


But then... a miracle happened! I'm not sure if our culture finally crept up on her, or she grew older, or her ambitions changed, or what not... but suddenly, and during a very opportune time when we needed help, she was ready to agree to Mimi's proposal! It was a happy day for all of us when she finally agreed to become Deputy! And she has taken up this mantle with fierce devotion, a curious attention to detail, a willingness to help in various circumstances, and an increased confidence in her open communication with the rest of the staff members and myself (whereas once upon a time she seemed almost afraid to talk to me). She has been a remarkable Deputy, and has never been shy of taking up tasks that belie her young age, only seeking help from other staff members or myself when absolutely necessary! All her best traits from before as a fantastic player have been amplified several times fold, and she truly demonstrates her Gulliver Minecraft server experience and boundless potential to the team every day! 


She has been a great friend to many of us, a phenomenal story-teller to all the uninitiated players wanting to know more about our little community, and a proud guardian to those even younger and vulnerable than herself -- and I feel absolutely privileged to have such a talented person on my team! Now that she's the best she can be as a Deputy, and proved herself to be an individual trustworthy of greater powers, I feel it's only fitting to direct her potential further by nominating her to a Commissioner position. May her new privileges and responsibilities allow her to explore new avenues of personal growth, as she continues being a great keeper of our community's proud history, legacy and future!

Kacii was voted in through a parliamentary-style staff election featuring an incredible 94% voter turnout, with 16 votes in favor and one abstain due to unavailability!

I want to thank all staff who participated in giving Kacii such an enthusiastic vote of confidence, as well as all players who have helped make her the remarkable staff member she is today! 

Well, that seemed like a very quick promotion! Congratulations KC!

YAYAYAYYAY YAAAAAAAAAA KC! GOOD JOB!

Congratulations KC, well done! (You better finish the house BTW )
