Hey there! First, I wanted to say that I love this guild and am so thankful for its existance. Aqua said that you're a great captain Garland, and so far, I agree. smile

The only thing I would suggest is quoting the Bible in a different version. The King James is really hard and time-consuming to understand, and to be honest, I stopped reading them :/ If they were from a newer version, I'd like to start reading them again, because I do appreciate what you've been doing smile NLT is the newest translation they have (I think?) so if you could write the verses in that version it'd be awesome! emotion_yatta

Another thing about the announcements I'd love to see is you making them more personal. I mean, show us that you're a person who cares about us. Even if it's just a "Hey all! Happy Saturday! Hope you're all doing well, I'll keep you in my prayers" and then you could give us those links you always give us smile

I would like to thank you for your feedback, it is what we grow from
and how we learn that we need to strive to do better. I am glad I have not disappointed yet. At one point or another I am pretty sure I will, so bare with me when I do. mrgreen

Quoting from a different version may be better, seeing as very few people know old English, and there would be little point in making announcements if they are not read and understood, but there are also advantages to giving someone the King James Bible first. There are two sides to this matter, and I am uncertain which outweighs the other. Thank you though for your input, the crew will have to discuss this before I make a decision. Which version to pick, trustworthiness and accuracy and so forth. I will in fact make a poll about it, and allow people in the guild to voice their opinion. smile

I will implement the advice you have given by being more personal in my announcements right away. It is a problem of mine on many levels, and not just online. A 'Hey' and 'Hello', is nice, but I don't want to come of as insincere. It is something I will definitively attempt to be better at. smile

The new version is very easy to read, thank you so much. I've been reading every day smile Also thanks for the little notes every now and again. You're doing a great job and don't sound insincere at all!

I like the announcements with the bible versus and all. But due to it happening EVERY DAY. I am quitting the guild, I dont login every day, and they clog my feed.

Not a problem. I can see how that could get annoying if you are trying to keep an eye on other notifications in your feed. Thank you for the feedback. smile

God bless you!
