Hello!

I've been having the most fun ever on DC lately. I am slowly working on a nature reserve in the wild (I still need to set up the businesses for it.... LEA my enemy....). There are so many people around and it is very overwhelming and very exciting. I'm trying to encourage people to vote, and I get a response from one of maybe every 10 people. So few of them are checked in to the happenstances on Discord and it's a very funny comparison to the Before Times. I've never campaigned like this before and it's been fun!! It's all me by myself, running /ads when I remember, messaging so many people, and trying to explain how to vote.

This game is really hard to understand without Discord, and I keep thinking about how thankful I am to have been welcomed so enthusiastically when I first joined (thanks Bard). I've been trying really hard to get people to feel that welcome and spent all of the money I have on setting them up with elytras before I decided to run for the house special. I was really uninterested in engaging with the political system again before I started meeting all of the new people, but they have all really given me a new appreciation for the server and its depth and complexity.

Thank you to everyone who has said hi to me :D I am so happy to see so many familiar faces and I'm so grateful for the warm welcome back. I really missed you all a lot and I am really humbled by how kind and loving you've all been to me.

Thank you DC for existing :D
