There's a lot I can agree with in your summary Risto, especially the potential CK had/has as a platform for facilitating all manner of positive human::human interactions in the 'online' world we all live in these days.

What I'm trying to do now is help keep things going long enough to give those involved in this dispute a chance to work things out, so the Game can continue. Like I said before, I'm not owed anything by anyone, and like you, I'm down a considerable amount after the mass exodus of many of the original players/owners of the Game, so my motivation is STS, but I think to achieve my goal I need to practice STO. That's one of those nuggets of wisdom most of us work out as we get older; you've get a better chance of getting what you want when you also focus on what other people want too.

Events in my life recently have taught me to look forward as much as I can, think about practical matters that can make a positive difference, and focus your attention on doing positive 'actions' as much as possible, and that's what I've been working on for the last few weeks. If I think too much about my recent past (you know the details), I can easily get overwhelmed with sadness, frustration and anger, and that's the path to 'madness', and I've been there, and I don't want to go back, so I'll keep working with anyone else who wants to keep CK's head above water.

I really hope a compromise can be reached so you get access to your accounts again, but all I can do now to help from a practical point of view is try and keep the Game going long enough so people have time to think everything through, and that's what I'm focused on.
