Subject: Re: Reconsider the Sit-in!


I hope that people on that sever who can hunt the
planes now know not to hunt on that day, because it
can mean their deaths...continue with the sit-in.

Niomar, 13th Training Dwaven Cleric of Xegony.

P.S. You are asking the majority of clerics (over 3k
in people, I'm am guessing) to not do this because
maybe 20 people on the Fenn Ro server want to hunt in
the planes on that day?...it is not happening.
