[ 15] Tynian: When to post a note to 'tynian' (or 'imp' or 'founder')

To: all
If you are addressing a note to 'Tynian', please reflect on whether it
is appropriate.

Have a problem? Have you spoken to a god+ (HELP GOD+)? No? Then posting
a note to me won't help. I will just refer the matter to a god+. They
exist to handle most in-game matters, and will involve me when
appropriate.

Have a problem that you just wanted me to be aware of? I appreciate the
thought. Again, though, god+ should be keeping me informed of issues
that require my attention. In general, problems should be resolved at a
different level.

Have an idea I just need to see? Post something to the idea forum at
http://forums.finalchallenge.net/. Yes, I read them all, although I
don't always find time to comment. Posted ideas give me an idea about
what the player base would like to see, and sometimes, they even inspire
me into action.

Have a bug report that requires my attention? Post a bug report to the
bug board. I almost never verify bug reports myself. I have delegated
that task to the other god+'s. More importantly, if it isn't on the bug
list, it has little chance of being investigated.

Talked to a god (-level Immortal), but feel that their decision should
be reviewed? Talk to a Greater God. But only if you think you have a
real case. Don't waste their time. Post a note to 'greatergod' with
all of the relevant details.

Talked to a Greater God, but feel the decision should be reviewed? Then
you can post a note to me. Give me the details in the note. Don't
expect me to chase you down. Send an e-mail to
'tynian@finalchallenge.net', if you prefer. Unless you have VERY
compelling reasons why I should review a decision, I will likely
decline.

Do you want to see if a purged character can be recovered? You can post
me a note with the character name. If you remember around when you last
logged in, provide that information as well. Character restores are
something only I can do.

There are a few very good reasons why I'm posting this. First and most
importantly, there are many things that my staff can do, but there are
certain things that only I can do. I want to make sure my staff handle
the issues that they are able.

Tynian.
