Long story short the $$$ Guild has held more events and given more back to the community then almost any Guild out there,

I have been inactive agreed, actually have very little access to the internets/computer since I am living off grid, and am not currently playing, because of this its been hard to pass the reign of command, I have made Brules the official GM of $$$ as of yesterday, he has done an amaizing job, the $$$ Guild has been running New player housing consistantly for nearly 2 years, vendors stocked throughout sosoria, and held events nearly regularly until my inactivity, millions in gold and resources, hundreads of hours given to the community is why we have the things we have, and our continued support of the UOSecondage Shard, also the $$$ Guild provides the only public ventrillo service availble to UOSA and is paid for out of my own pocket as I will continue doing despite not actively playing.

as I have not played recently I can not vouch for the activity of other guilds, but I am certain Brules has been keeping up with the smaller comnmunity activites that are required to maintain our Blessed add-ons, also with his new promotion to Guild master I expect to see a great new lifeforce in $$$ and the Shard!!

too many good memories there for me to vote for $$$ being de-trammeled, and brules does do what he can to keep it going, even though cA tends to give him a hard time. I don't think they should be removed, but I would like to see brules try to expand $$$'s members so everything the people expect of $$$ does't fall on him.

Proof

At the time if any guild or person are addons these should be considered a permament additional to the world. If they become inactive, addons should stay. Period

Why you ask? Because of the "Grandfather law". Its a rule that has always been in exsistance in the world of UO. OSI did it, we do it.

It's called the "Selective Grandfather Law" and it's ruling is proportional to the bias to or against the subject.

If ANY of the addons deserve to be there, it's the $$$ tower. That being said, I still say wipe them all.

Just for reference, as long as the guilds stay semi active, OSI has let the deco's stay. Below is a link to the Baja Mage Tower I was a part of, it got blessed in 99 I think, pretty cool to see it still around. Maybe we need a Mage Tower here? :)

Even when they weren't active, they allowed things to stay. Probably cause they were too busy doing other things and simply forgot, but there are quite a few things on Pacific that were there when I left in 98 where the guilds that had them long disbanded.

Except that would be policy not mechanic. If you are arguing that policy should uphold the spirit of the era as well then I demand events be removed among other things.

If this is reason to remove the $$$ add-ons, then the 2-3 people that are keeping the other "dead" add-ons alive for spots all over the map should have theirs removed, also.
I agree. Delete ALL inactive addons, they're a waste of space. The $$$ tent merely generates a lot of gold for players who rarely login and have none of their former presence in the community.

Also, I notice all of the posts here by $$$ members have basically established that Brules is the only active member. Addons for one player?

Yeah, please remove them now.

I believe Derrick should run the shard the way he wants to run it and that people should either deal with it or find another place to play... or make their own shard where they can make their own rules.

If tomorrow Derrick announced that he's adding Trammel, then so be it, he has the right to do so without anyone's approval. People here seem to think they have some sort of say in what goes on here but that's just not the case.

I believe Derrick should remove the $$$ tower and replace it with a tower-sized statue of Hemperor (with a one room house sized statue of KINGWONG next to it).

I voted that they should stay. The tower is open to the public, so it's hardly "add-ons for one person". As for the vendors just sitting around generating money for their owners...that's what vendors DO. So long as they are kept stocked, the owners deserve to reap the benefits.

The owners can reap the benefits of vendors without the special treatment of these addons.

Ax 'em.

Addons on here aren't free. Everything comes with a price and dedication to make them happen.
As for special treatment, it was given to people on EA production shards as well for people who had active roleplaying guilds.

The fact is that these addons violate the general upkeep rules for addons on this shard. This is why they should be removed, regardless of who benefits from them.
