Re: Short Questions
Okay, official word is that, while money things may be inappropriate, we SHOULD at least make a statement. Jeremy/Matt are doing that, as they are the important ones who that needs to come from.

Re: Short Questions
Will IRE, or Aetolia specifically, be making any statements in support of Black Lives Matter and in opposition of police brutality? Will either be making donations to BLM or BLM-adjacent charities? Given last month's charity promotion and how much it was lauded, as well as recent concerns over fascist iconography within Aetolia, it'd be nice to see IRE put their money where their mouth is and let their BIPoC players know they stand with them during these times.
Edit: I guess I should have tagged @Tiur.
Edit: Folks, the Off Topic flags? Not as cute as you think they are. I didn't want to make a new thread, I want a yes/no answer. You're showing your asses.

Re: Short Questions
@Iazamat - @TiurAs much as I like the idea of running a charity drive, I would prefer that we not commodify the Black Power symbol.
IDEA:
Charity Figurines - For a collection, since those were very popular, have a set dedicated to Charity, where we can provide proceeds to a charity of the Community's choice.
There are a ton of amazing charities out there, and its an opportunity to give back especially in uncertain times to communities in need.
an obsidian human figurine with a fist raised
-or something along that vein of idea
I think we can find a much more tactful way to reference the movement with another item should that route be decided.
Thanks.

Not in a moral sense, but in a sense that I lack the ability to make the appropriate statements.
I feel like it would be hard to tie a promotion to it without seeming incorrect, but I also don't know why our previous month would be considered any different. I lack the... political savvy? Awareness? PR skills? I'm just your producer, deciding whether we need more kobolds or if we should add in a class of fighters focusing on gymkata.
I'm not trying to weasel out, mind you. IRE is about inclusiveness, fairness, and we absolutely support the cause. I can't make the decision both in rank and ability, so I'll be running this up the chain of command immediately instead.
Personally, I give to bail fund charities, since I can't go to protests myself.

Re: Short Questions
I wonder why folks would possibly flag a short question as off topic in the short questions thread? If you really want the smoke, you can get all of it.

Re: Short Questions
Can we please just stop distracting from the fact that a relevant and very important short question was asked? And can we also stop telling me where it does and does not belong by posting and unnecessarily using the Off Topic flags? Thanks!
Edit: The fact that some people clearly care more about where the question belongs than the question itself is really telling, by the way.

Re: Short Questions
I really, really hope they clicked off topic because they think Iazamat's question needs its own thread.
...I kinda doubt it tho

Re: Short Questions
Well, this a "short questions about the game" thread, from what I understand. His question is a question for the admin about the intended financial/promotional/political situation IRL -Not only does the original post of this thread not specify what the short questions should be about, the reference to last month's charity promotion in Iazamat's post was just a small part of the general question being asked.
For that, here's a thread that would apply: https://forums.aetolia.com/discussion/2579/the-good-the-bad-the-ugly-promotions
Disregarding his post and linking to an arguably even more unrelated thread is a rather odd choice here.

That seems rather clear?
