We are now docked in Galveston, which means I'll be back at full capacity moving forward, hopefully able to leave spawn and play with less than 1000 ping.
It also means yesterday was the last day at sea on this cruise, which obviously means I was very sauced by about 10 oclock. I have a sense of humor shaped by mel brooks movies and too much time spent on the early WWW. Neither of these things constitute an excuse for breaking our own rules, the same rules we hold you, as players, to - in fact one of the rules I penned - but it is to say that I truly didn't mean anything more than an edgy joke.
Regardless of how it landed it was out of line and is not in keeping with our general principles. Obviously this type of humor in the public sphere has a way of fostering and enabling people who are NOT joking and those are the very people TnB has been working to shake off, so for those of you whose trust I may have compromised, I am sorry and you will not see that type of thing go unpunished from me or any other member of this team moving forward.
So, consider me off LOA and shamed. See yall later.
Anyway it wouldn't be a pirate admin tenure without some controversy so now that's out of the way...
