TGIF! Fall has finally arrived here in Victoria, and it's arrived with a vengeance. It is cold, cloudy, and damp, and I look forward to some deliciously warm home-made soup later on. Enough complaints about the weather, let's take a look at the past week! Player Bans FB: 10 MS: 4 As always, we are committed to keeping our games fun and fair for everyone, and will continue to ensure that players are playing fairly and within our Terms of Use by swinging the banhammer where it needs to be swung. If you have any questions or comments about a frozen account, please direct them through Support as the Forums are not the place to discuss account freezes, because of the sensitive account information involved. Facebook Offsite Game Policy Change Facebook recently announced a change to their policy regarding offsite versions of games on Facebook that will take effect December 5th, 2012. You can read more about it here. Ideas Section Revamp Regular forum members will have noticed recently that I've mentioned an upcoming revamp of our Ideas section of the forums. Over the next week you may notice things being moved around in order to make the Ideas section easier to use and post in. Our plan is to add an Ideas section for each game, so that players can post game-specific ideas there instead of one section for all games. We will also have sections for ideas we're considering for implementation, ideas we don't foresee implementing, and community ideas we have already implemented. Community feedback and ideas are extremely important to us, and we hope that this reorganization will better show this love and appreciation. Support Report Hey everyone! Support response was dragging a little behind this week for a number of reasons. The long weekend set us back a day, we had a pile a requests come in from players who had trouble with the newsletter, and half of us at Kano have caught a nasty, lingering cold. However we're all caught up now and hopefully next week will run a little smoother. Names have been something of a theme this week, so I just wanted to put a couple quick reminders out there: character names can only be held by one player at a time, but please remember that if you choose to change your character's name, your previous one becomes fair game for other players to adopt. Names can't be "stolen" so if you decide you want your old name back and find that it's unavailable, you'll have to work something out with the new owner. Additionally, names that are offensive or that specifically target another player are often reset by Support. If this happens, please don't pick another offensive name. I don't actually like playing the "Name Police" game, and repeat offenders are likely to get a 24 hour suspension or worse, which is no fun for anyone. Hopefully that clears up some of the confusion we've seen in Support recently. Remember, you're playing with real people, so be awesome people to play with! -Melanie Joke of the week! Joke of the week time! The following is an old favourite of mine that I was reminded of recently. It's a two-part joke, so get ready! Why do ducks have webbed feet? To put out forest fires! <---Highlight for hilarious answer! Why do elephants have flat feet? To put out burning ducks! Click here for the appropriate sound effect. No ducks were harmed in the making of that joke. I hope you all have a pleasant weekend! Play Now!
