Martind ForlonMr. Lehman be sure we have good memory. ... there is huge difference between build/maintain something vs using game broken mechanism to destroy other ppl effort.


True enough. It's probably designed that way to make sure the people building/maintaining don't start talking shit and attract attention.

Sorry man, that just pure b****. Are you really serious with such opinion? If yes, then I have nothing more to say here ...

Feels nice.

A breeze or rather a wind of change?

You're saying it's unfortunate that he doesn't live in an area that is getting ravaged by a hurricane?

I've lost contact from few ppl in that region, hope they are all ok ... had some first-hand experience with this kind of thing few years ago and it definitely was not pleasant experience.

... it would be really nice if EVERYONE cease mixing gaming and RL worlds, RL have enough of dark sides already ...

I saw that one of the companies that is a customer of mine is doing a great job at providing search, rescue and humanitarian support in that area. They're providing truckloads of supplies to citizens doing rescue work, setting up mobile shelters for the newly-rescued before they're relocated to safety, pivoting their entire logistics system to coordinating aid; really outstanding work.

Once the crisis is over I'll be sending a few cases of wine their way.

My own company is matching any donations made by our employees, dollar for dollar, and sending to relevant charities "on the ground". Right now, more volunteers would just get in the way of the tactical efforts, but once the water recedes, I expect lots of people in the office will take some time off to go and help clean up and rebuild.

Agreed. As much as I like to give certain people here a bit of grief in-game, I wouldn't ever wish a natural disaster upon them and their families. Fly safe, Texan CMDRs!

And if you can't fly safe, will you at least stay out of the mailslot?

Agreed. Finally heard back from a friend from Texas. She's fine, but her sister lived in Houston. They're also safe, but I guess it was touch and go for a bit.
