Yeah, I know how to do all these things to a web page as well. I didn't think about styling it like Wyvern's fonts/colors though, so good idea!

Here is my current plan. We have almost reached another checkpoint of 75 signatures, which is amazing. It means people have been spreading the word so I thank you all.

I would like to reach 100 but since the signatures have been slowing down, I'm going to cut off signatures next weekend. My plan is to submit it via email/google+ Monday the 23rd, so Xerxes and I have the weekend to finalize the website (it takes a good bit of manual work), and Monday is the start of a work week so it will hopefully raise the chances Rhialto check's his emails or google+ profile and increase the odds of our voices being heard.

The document will stay open past the submit date for anyone who comes late to the party can still sign. There is a good chance your signature will still be seen even after the website is finalized because the site will link to the original google document page, where the signatures new or old can still be seen.

So we have one more week to reach the 100 signature mark. If it is really close when the 23rd rolls around I might delay, but I want to get this ship sailed soon, so I'm relying on you guys to get the word out for one more week.

Thank you everyone, and remember Monday the 23rd.


EDIT: Almost forgot. The letter will look different than the document. Your signature will be next to your player name if you provided one, and next to "Anonymous" if you did not. The original google document will still have the emails attached to prove it was actually 75+ people signing and not just one really bored person.

If you have already signed and did not provide your character name, and you would like that to show up instead of Anonymous, I welcome you to go back and put it next to your email in the format everyone else has been following. If you want one name over the other on the final copy, make it the FIRST name in the list of character names you provided.

Thanks again.

Applaud you guys for the amount of signatures on this beast of a letter. Seeing it shows the dedication of a great community. I know I have moved on, but seeing the game come back will be great to visit and see those few that made the game great in the first place.

Just keep in mind that Rhialto has been known to have a delayed response to our Arch-Wizards. So where this is a great idea, it may take a few weeks to a few months before we get a response. It's still a great idea, and will probably mean a lot to him when he gets to it. I'm sure he has a lot going on in his personal life as well, so just keep that in mind. I seriously doubt we will get a response in the first week of it being sent.

Maybe you should edit your first post to include the deadline.

I have submitted the letter to Rhialto. Here is the link that he will see, made by Xerxes - http://tinyurl.com/DearRhialto/

Any additional signatures will be added still, because it is unknown when or if he will actually read it. But since it is past submission date, don't feel bad if your's isn't seen. Also if you find anything you would like to change in your signature, message Xersex with the changes and he will take care of them.

Any replies I receive personally will be passed on to you guys here. Thank you all for signing for those who did and wish for the best.

I rolled it back as best as I could. Here is what the letter was changed to.

"How do you like the player letter now “Arilou”?
I think it’s cruel of you to give these players false hope.
And you’ll never find me, I shall remain Unkown.
MOVE ON PLAYERS!!!"

If anyone else can fix it please do.

Sigh. Well, that's saddening.

It looks pretty much intact now, minus the formatting - and the e-mails. Glad it happened after the webpage was done.

Edit: I cleaned up the formatting on the signatures a little bit. 'Bout all I can do.

I tacked the backup i had on the bottom of the thing, i didn't have everyones' signatures though, sorry about that. Obviously it's not neat or anything, i just pasted it there. Do whatever you think would be best or delete it completely.

I have an idea who did this >.> and Jeremiah had already been backing it up, I asked him about it when this whole thing started.

He never was very bright.

It's sad that something players did, not wizards (we're used to being attacked) would be bothered by another so-called player (who hasnt played in years). Sorry guys.

Hope one of you had a good backup. (and the web page is what R was given the link to anyway)

Just tell folks at the top to send their signatures (or a copy of) to bullfrogz and he can work it out to get them onto the web page through Xerxes.

This is actually hilarious... why would you wait to mess with the letter after a permanent un-editable copy without public access was already made and sent to Rhialto... Guess some people are not very bright.

I have a backup, I'll go about fixing it making sure it looks the way it did. I cross checked the current google doc and the website and it looks like everything is there but if you notice your signature missing or not the way it was, you can easily copy paste it back from the letter's website or just let me know.

Sorry guys, a known danger doing a letter this way was one person trying to ruin it for all. But all your signatures are on the letter Rhialto would read so no need to worry.

EDIT: Also thank you to all of you who took the time to fix it. I have been real busy with school work and have not been able to check the document or forums as much. So thanks again.

"Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /~mso/wyvern.php on this server."

Site inaccessible. Probably should fix it asap as R might not be able to access it either.

Edit: Seems the web host is experience difficulties:

"Web Server Downtime
Tonight, the web server ran out of swap space and is currently experiencing downtime.

Since there are updates pending on the server, rebooting it runs the risk of it not booting up properly afterwards.

Work on the (much more powerful) virtual machine that will become the new web server began a week ago, and staff will meet this Saturday to finish it. "

Response:

Rhialto - It's a lovely letter. I can't promise anything, but I have started up some discussions about potential solutions.
It helps to know that there are so many people who want it back.

Me - Is there anything you would like me to tell the members of the forums waiting for a response? If you would like to tell them yourself the active forum is http://www.wyvernrpg.com/forum/index.php if not I can convey a message.

Rhialto - You can tell them that everyone at work is so impressed with your letter that they all want to see the game now, and they're pressuring me to take the time to get it back online. So now I can't even avoid it at work.

If that isn't good news, I don't know what is. It almost quelled my anger of the atrocious refereeing of the IU Wisconsin game.
