  1. I'll donate stone stuffs soon, and do you need "Some signs" for locker chests? I'll send you a few stacks....

    this is crazy, puts stress on me, but i promise u guys that we will use the money fairly and helping ppl out!

    imma gonna do another GRIP advertising later this evening to make sure ppl know they should tell us if they got griefed. im also gonna suggest GRIP staff if we shouldn't lower 3 months period to 1 month.

    and im gonna make shell post in frontier forums like he promised weeks ago ^.^

    u guys rock!

  4. very important message for u all... if ur griefed then please be careful with trying to find who did it. u should not start telling ppl that they griefed u if ur not sure. and if ur griefed or stolen from in town then thats also b/c u gave ppl permission.

    if u need we can help u (advice you) on ur flags and we can (and will!) also try 2 help, even if ur in town sometimes (we did that this evening). but please be careful b4 u start to accuse ppl and ruin good friendships. thats so not worth it! and thats really bad if u make false accusations, like what seems to have happened this evening :(

    if u really need to find the griefer u should talk to staff, not accuse ppl!

  5. I donated, I will donate more sooner or later
  6. One of our staff members, CadenMann, got banned this evening. Not while acting on behalf of GRIP by the way, but getting banned from EMC means that you violated the EMC rules and that will have consequences within GRIP because we try to be better than best.

    Having said that... At this time GRIP will not take action against CadenMann for reasons we refuse to share right now (I know how bad that sounds). A ban appeal is pending and right now we will await the outcome of that before (and if) we take any further action.

    Note: GRIP does not question the staffs decision, nor do we assume that nothing happened, but right now we are going with benefit of the doubt. Caden's history is too big to simply ignore.

    On a personal note: I believe there's more than meets the eye here. Also keep in mind that CadenMann didn't get into the GRIP staff because of some sweat sweet talk but because of his actions and because he earned our trust over time.

    Because of that I won't allow any action to be taken at this time and will maintain a status quo.

  7. Are you saying we should riot and get GRIP shut down for obviously planning Caden's demise?
    Just kidding.

    I will be donating some (well, some isn't the right word) stone slabs and maybe other materials. No rupees to give. :I
  8. I think you meant to say "Sweet Talk", but hey, if you're into sweat talking, that works too :p

    I think that "refusing to share" was a little harsh, but maybe "We may disclose a report/details when this has been resolved by staff."
  9. I am starting to wonder if I could take caden's place until he comes back...I wonder :rolleyes:
  10. Caden is still a member of GRIP, but is just sidelined until after the appeal process is over.

  11. Just wanted to say thanks to all members of this grief supporting team. I've been griefed many times and from experience, I've found that it brings great happiness to me to see players help each other patch things up and try and move on. From a small tree to recovering a field to make it stand greener than ever, I really appreciate what y'all are aiming to accomplish. It can make all the difference for new and old players alike.

    Thank you!

  12. There are going to be some changes, but all good...

    First of all I'd like to thank everyone for all the support we got so far. I'll be honest: we didn't end up helping as many players as I anticipated, but I am proud to say that in many cases GRIP was there when it counted. I don't care about quantity, not at all: I care about quality. And I am honestly very proud and honored (overwhelmed is more like it!) with all the support we got. Here is yet another example.

    No more supporters!

    That didn't really work out. Either you're associated with GRIP or you're not, we're not going to be doing stuff halfway in between. But this does mean that we'll be changing a few things when it comes to referrals. Still need to think about this, but please: If you see someone who has been griefed in your direct surroundings then we'd appreciate it if you could tell him/her about us!

    So right now all we got are members and a few staff members. That's it.

    Rules finally out of draft

    We play by some rules and they're out of draft. One thing which I wanted to change has been left in: the part about me having the final say. I decided to leave it in and use that as less as possible. Consider it a failsave.

    Anonymous rupee donations

    Want to donate an x amount or rupees anonymously? It's no problem anymore. At first I didn't want to because I feared for extra overhead, but Aya assured me that this is no problem at all. So: just pay Aya and mention that you'd rather not be mentioned.

    So yeah.. GRIP, we may keep quiet a bit but that doesn't mean that we're not there.

  13. I'll donate to GRIP. I'm not active on the Empire any more and I have some valuable stuff that's being neglected.
    Also, though I haven't been griefed on EMC, I could still help those that do get griefed.
  14. Just a little reminder if people missed the announcement, staff is helping recover lost entities from the entity bug:

    Entity Restoration Project
    Aikar and the developers have been working their tails off to ensure that we discovered and squashed that nasty entity bug. Now that it is gone, the Senior Staff and I are going to be working on restoring player mobs to all their former glory.

    So here's what we need from you:
    1. Identify if you have any missing mobs
    2. Fill this out: emc.gs/missingmobs
    3. Be patient and Senior Staff will get to your request.
    4. Tell your EMC friends that may not go on the forums so that they hear too.

  15. We need small bump. 2 many new ppl but also some returning who dont know of us.

    i also got news to share..

    CadenMann took a break from EMC so unfortunately hes no longer with GRIP now :( not sure if we gonna look 4 new members yet. if u think u should be a member u can talk 2 shelluser.

    Referral bonus!

    if u know someone who has been griefed in frontier then u can earn a bonus of 100r if u tell them about us. But only if the grief is real (so u have proof) and ofc. we prefer that u also contacted staff. EMC staff is excluded from the bonus (soz guys!) b/c it wouldnt be fair (grief gets reported 2 staff first).

    the bonus wont be paid from grip funds but is an idea of me and shelluser, so we pay 4 it ourselves.
  16. BUMP for these awesome people
  17. This is really awesome of you guys! I will be donating in the near future!
