Alright lads,
Let's get down to brass tacks. COVID-19 is going around and if you don't know what that is then welcome to this post, Copycat! But seriously, there are effects worldwide: In the Americas, in Europe, in Asia... and through the interwebs as well. If you're considered essential personnel and also especially sending a shoutout to our retail workers, you're no doubt feeling the effects. We aren't going to fault you for a lack of activity here. Just faulting you for not having toilet paper, because that's obviously your personal fault. :robshock:
Our admins are totes feeling the effects soon. More than one have medical conditions which affect immune system issues, we have students and one was stuck in a hospital for weeks. Suffice to say, we're all suffering together.
We're finishing P49 right now and the question here becomes... How do you want to move forward from here?
I'm including responses from admins but we're also open to input. Let us know.
I'll keep this poll open until Tuesday at 11:59 PM EST.
Rock on.

I'm pushing 14-18 hour days guarding an empty casino, but this place, and you dudes are that distraction that not only, but alot of us need.
I say march. I'll be more active. My fault on that over the last week. Downtime was spent asleep, but I'll give time to keep this place rolling for sanity sake!

I think this post needs to happen, FWIW.
Equally, FWIW, I'd like to try and continue as close to BAU as we can. I'd be willing to take on some duties like match-writing where I can but I appreciate that this needs to be a democratic vote to take into consideration how the current situation affects everyone.
From my side, I'm now WFH indefinitely and have the prospect of my gf and her friend running a 'home-school' of sorts for at least three hours a day of between 3-7 kids being around (and I'm using this afternoon to try and make a 'bolt-hole' or as much of a positive working environment for myself as I can.)
If people don't vote in the same way as I did it's fine. We're all in this together, online as well as offline, and really there hasn't been anything to threaten this hobby in its history, or mankind for roughly an entire century.
Anyways, my ramblings are over.

Honestly I think with all the chaos and bullshit happening in the outside world. Most of us need this now, more than ever. I small distraction to keep our minds off of the problems of civilization. Even for an hour is enough for me.

I agree with the guys saying that this place is a welcome escape from everything going on right now (I work in a pharmacy, so right now work is... yeah), but that being said, if the admins are struggling then a hiatus is fine.

It's better to continue on than to stop since we're all committed to the AWF.

I know there's frontline workers in both staff and handlers, so I'd advise them to take time off.
I've been NON covid ill, at just the wrong time (I'm feeling a lot better now)
So CYS is a good way to get those sitting on their hands and going spare having something to do and letting the overworked take a much needed back seat.

I've already had a chat with Kuroi about this but as a retail guy I'm on the shelf indefinitely. I just can't balance it all right now, sorry guys.
