Happy Monday! I hope you guys had a great holiday break. Just a few updates to share so everyone knows whats going on.
-Secret Santa – I have matched all the people who indicated interest. However, with a month to Christmas, Im willing to try to squeeze in any last minute interest. This is not a hard limit $$ or personal data sharing requirement. If you want in, please PM me. I will be willing to take any additional people for about a week more. We’ve also made this channel public to read so if nothing else, you can join us in the excitement when the random gifts start coming in.
-Server stuff – We currently host servers for about 4 games and have had servers up at various times for at least another 4 games. Its become a bit of a hassle and we’re consolidating. If you currently play on an Ember server, keep an eye on your game channel as IP details/connection info may change while we work to move everything to one dedicated Ember server. Kudos to Briskle, Deii, and the others who are working to make this successful!
– Minecraft – Its that time of year again. On our new server we are hosting a pack where you’re stranded in the desert. Connection info is pinned in the minecraft channel. Type !minecraft in #bot-spam for more information
-Destiny 2 – After the initial release hype, we’re seeing the playtime decrease on this game clan wide. If you have additional friends who are interested, please let me know and we’ll make space for them in the clan. We’re a week away from the next expansion so be sure to get your pass or purchase the content and make use of the #destiny-2 and #looking-for-group channels so you arent left out!
-Overwatch – Season 7 comp teams have been finalized. Even if you didnt apply in time, you can always join in on the discussion and arrange to play comp with other friends. Im really looking forward to the Christmas Holiday and will be hosting some events for it as we get through December.
-Diablo – You asked for it, you got it! New self tagging and text channel for Diablo. Head over to #bot-spam and type !diablo to gain access.
-Wow – Get ready for Antorus! Wowhead has already been updated with a lot of news about release dates and content. Be sure to review it so you guys can kick a bunch of ass! As the expansion rolls on, people take breaks, so remember to let Lacansa know if you have anyone interested in joining for raids.
-Now planning – Embers 2017 Christmas Party. If you have special requests, please let me know sometime in the next 2 weeks.
As you can tell, there’s a lot going on. To make life a bit easier, we’ve added role mentions to our looking for group channel. Now, if you need a few extra players for a party in a game, just mention the role and it will ping anyone online. For example @destiny Looking for 1 for Nightfall!
Finally, just wanted to express a belated thanksgiving message to everyone. I am really thankful for my friends here. We spend a ton of time together and its my absolute joy to help coordinate activities and fun times for us. I am so fortunate to have met so many people I can get along with and it really keeps my leisure time fun and busy. Thank you all for being a part of this community!
