Reigniting the flame

This is pretty nifty. Always told the old man this was- as they say- the one that got away. Do this day, remains my favorite. Do some of the OGs remember the pre-released iOS app called 'Snails Drop'?
Did you plan on trying to make this game a legitimate thing or more of a small project for the memories?

Make no mistake, Damen truly does value and considers Sriram, Major, and Wilfer trusted friends.
Yes using people is wrong, but Damen did not use them in the malicious way we associate with the term. He merely meant he used the structure of the game (which I shall point out is the proper structure of an empire) to see how users react and if they would remain loyal.
Sriram, Major, and Wilf are by no means victims, and remain part of Damen's inner circle.
Also, may I suggest to you and the wider community to get to know these three users more personally/void of DSGHQ politics? Sriram remains one of the koolest kids I know and we constantly converse regardless of if it's the month he is emperor or one he is turn-cloak.
And still I'm blocked and unfriended on Discord.

Not true actually, you must not of noticed. I un-added and re-added you right now so you see the friend request pop up once again.

There has not yet been a period of the game where you have not truly been in charge. No point hiding from that fact any longer.

Tolerance
•
2nd January 2019, 10:57 PM
I have been a part of this community since 2013, but in the few weeks I have been back I have seen more intolerance and completely disgusting behavior than I saw anytime prior.
It seems to have become "cool" to mock people for mental challenges, call things "gay" when they are dumb, stupid, annoying, etc., and to say the N-word to prove how little you care.
I will say this once:
This community will not tolerate any sort of discriminatory behavior that mocks someone (whether that be a specific person or just the group in general) based on their race, gender, sexuality, disabilities, etc. If I see any sort of this behavior from now on I'll instantly ban you and you can kiss your chances of ever holding a position of prestige again.
"But omg Harrison you're so strict. Let us have fun! You're such a libtard snowflake."
Using the N-Word or other types of slurs will get you in trouble and could ruin your life. I have seen it with my own eyes both online and in real life. But regardless of any sort of consequence, imagine how you would feel on the receiving end if you were part of a minority group. This is a community for children and young-teenagers. Those who think acting intolerantly is funny are the most shameful creatures of all.
This community was a safe haven for me when I did not feel comfortable to be myself in real life. I found true friendships here and grew into the person who I am today thanks to the interactions on this very website. Damen made it his mission to make the community as tolerant and welcoming as possible, and I cannot imagine what would've happened to me if I was a member of this website during the most vulnerable part of my life, if this horrible behavior was as common then as it is now
So I will say it again. If you are caught acting in a discriminatory manner you will be instantly demoted and banned.
I sincerely apologize to anyone who has felt unsafe during this unexplainable increase in disgusting behavior.
If you hear or see anything that makes you or someone you know feel unsafe, you may report it anonymous to [email protected] or [email protected] (screenshots are preferred but not required).
Shame on everyone who has acted in a way directly opposed to the values DSGHQ was founded upon. You know who you are, and should do some serious introspection on what you think is important and what you want to put out into the world. And for those of you who stayed true to the values, you have not gone unnoticed and Harrison thanks you.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask them below.

Even Damen needed a learning curve, you have not failed yet. Just do what you think is right for the community and you will succeed.
All hail the emperor.
