BUT...we have gone a considerable length of time with NO donations.  i know the economy stinks, folks...but do you think we could even get seven bucks a month to support my other guilty pleasure, which is www.wheresgeorge.com

This space isn't free, guys, I pay for it every month.  Help us out by either donating...or recruiting others who WILL donate.</description><pubDate>Tue, 13 Jul 2010 13:22:24 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Need More Players</title><link>http://www.kalisiin.com/motd.php#motd20100628101014</link><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.kalisiin.com/motd.php#motd20100628101014</guid><description>By Kujitai Empress Kalisiin
I am really unsure what I can do to get traffic up here.  Does anyone have any suggestions?
We need to increase traffic here, I still believe this to be the best realm in the LOTGD universe, we have more unique modules than just about anyone, so what's the deal?</description><pubDate>Mon, 28 Jun 2010 10:10:14 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Lack of Donations</title><link>http://www.kalisiin.com/motd.php#motd20100520111152</link><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.kalisiin.com/motd.php#motd20100520111152</guid><description>By Kujitai Empress Kalisiin
Folks, you're really falling down on your end here.  This space isn't free.

I hate to bring it up, but it HAS been a while since anyone donated anything.</description><pubDate>Thu, 20 May 2010 11:11:52 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Missing In Action!!</title><link>http://www.kalisiin.com/motd.php#motd20100409074542</link><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.kalisiin.com/motd.php#motd20100409074542</guid><description>By Kujitai Empress Kalisiin
I, your illustrious Admin...shall be somewhat missing in action over the next two weeks, as I will be out of town on business, and only have access to the Net via my lap-top...and only if the wifi at the hotel is working properly.

That said, if anyone sends any snail-mail donations over the next two weeks, I will not get them till near the end of the month, and I apologize in advance for this inconvenience.</description><pubDate>Fri, 09 Apr 2010 07:45:42 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Merchandise Points Program</title><link>http://www.kalisiin.com/motd.php#motd20100401083334</link><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.kalisiin.com/motd.php#motd20100401083334</guid><description>By Kujitai Empress Kalisiin
As a trial, we are rolling out our new Merchandise Points Program!

This will continue for an indefinite time, depending on if it gets us the results we want.

There are two main features to the Program.

1. All FIRST-TIME donors will receive double Merchandise points on their first donation to this site.

BE VERY CAREFUL TO DONATE TO THIS SITE, AND DO NOT USE THE GREEN "AUTHOR" LINK, THAT MONEY WILL NOT GO TO THIS SITE, AND IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR MERCHANDISE POINTS!!  USE THE PURPLE "SITE" LINK TO DONATE TO THIS SITE!!

2. Any player who refers a new player to us...when said new player makes their first donation, the referring player will receive Merchandise points equivalent to the amount of that player's first donation.

We have gone some time now without meeting our monthly goals, and this simply is not acceptable.  I have never sought to make a profit by this game, and never will - but I DO seek to cover our expenses.

The webspace and bandwidth to run this game are not free, and, in any month where our goals are not met, I have to cover the shortfall - with my job now in jeopardy thanks to a corporate buyout, I really need your support at this time!

Be assured that all other benefits of donating are still in play.  for those who are not familiar with those benefits, I will list them here.

1. Donating ANY amount (even as little as $1) opens up the Premium Features of the game to you for a period of one month.  Premium features include things that make the game easier, nicer, friendlier, and also include some modules/stores/shops not available to non-donating players.
Among them are the Banking Eagle, Multi-Round fighting option, the Apple Shop, and extra good luck - ALL DONATING PLAYERS HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF GOOD OUTCOMES ON ALL SPECIAL EVENTS OVER NON-DONATING PLAYERS!!

2. You can feel good about yourself, for donating to a worthy cause - we have been filling your gaming needs for 3 1/2 years now.

3. In any month where donation goals are met - the last few days of that month become a "free-for-all" in which all players, donating or not...gain temporary access to the Premium features, and a few other side benefits.

4. with Merchandise Points, you can take the shirt off our backs...literally!!  Be the first in your school/neighborhood, etc...to sport our cool-looking Kalisiin's empire merchandise...and use it to recruit new players, and get even more stuff!

We absolutely MUST perform better with regards to our donation goals, than we have over the past few months, there is, quite frankly, no other way to put it.

A special thanks goes out to our core of longer-term players whose support has carried us this far, but, we must meet...and continue to meet...our donation goals in the future.

I hope this program will motivate some of you who have not yet donated to do so...and also to refer others to this site!  We must continue to attract new players, and new donors...if this site is to continue serving!! </description><pubDate>Thu, 01 Apr 2010 08:33:34 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Kalisiin's Merchandise Rolling Out!!</title><link>http://www.kalisiin.com/motd.php#motd20100309085515</link><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.kalisiin.com/motd.php#motd20100309085515</guid><description>By Kujitai Empress Kalisiin
We have filled our first order of site Merchandise, Shazbot ordered a T-Shirt, and we have filled that order today.  If you are in the Northern California area, look for it, you may see him wearing our shirt!

I expect Shazbot will post his own MOTD shortly, upon his receipt of the shirt.

We are considering a program of awarding some Merchandise Points to players who refer us donating players.  More detail on that later.</description><pubDate>Tue, 09 Mar 2010 08:55:15 -0600</pubDate></item><item><title>Welcome Our New Staff Member</title><link>http://www.kalisiin.com/motd.php#motd20100222002619</link><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.kalisiin.com/motd.php#motd20100222002619</guid><description>By Kujitai Empress Kalisiin
Shazbot has been promoted to Staff, for his continued support, his diplomatic skills, and the fact that your poor, worn-out, ragged at the edges Admin needs a break.

He will be able to handle player problems that may arise, and deal with low-level petitions.  He will also have the ability to censor comments that are not appropriate.

He will be given more responsibility, later, if he wishes...and shows himself...as I think he will...to be capable of it.

Please welcome him to Staff.  If he instructs you to stop a specific behavior...it is as if the order comes from me.  I will back him in his decisions.  As of this point, unless you have a game-stopping issue that involves a coding error of some sort, Shazbot is your first point of contact.

Congrats, Shazbot!!

As always, we thank our players and donors for their ongoing support as we continue to serve your gaming fun!</description><pubDate>Mon, 22 Feb 2010 00:26:19 -0600</pubDate></item><item><title>Happy Valentine's Day!!</title><link>http://www.kalisiin.com/motd.php#motd20100214050041</link><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.kalisiin.com/motd.php#motd20100214050041</guid><description>By Kujitai Empress Kalisiin
A few things for everyone...
1st, I'd like to have a contest of ideas for some holiday modules, like Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day...holidays we currently don't have anything for.  Suggestions in Kalisiin's Cottage, please.

2nd, Everyone have a happy Valentine's Day...hope you all have someone to be with...even if it's a parent, child, or some loved one if not a significant other.

3rd, I'm rather concerned about the fact that we are now halfway thru the month and have NO DONATIONS.  This webspace is not free to me.  Please, I know the economy sucks, but, I really have to ask people to step up and donate.
Last, now that we had at least 3 people finish all 15 tasks, I was able to reset the Tournament.

I really need to hear from you, the players...what we can do to attract more players/donors/donations.  As I said, this space IS NOT FREE TO ME.  I pay for this space every month.

While no one is required to donate to play here, donations are gratefully accepted, so that the full burden does not fall on me.  We have now been online 3 1/2 years serving your gaming needs, and we would very much like to continue.

So, please, help out with what you can.  REFER...DONATE...do what you can to help us to defray the cost of running this webspace.

Again, Happy Valentine's Day!!</description><pubDate>Sun, 14 Feb 2010 05:00:41 -0600</pubDate></item><item><title>Tournament</title><link>http://www.kalisiin.com/motd.php#motd20100206002718</link><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.kalisiin.com/motd.php#motd20100206002718</guid><description>By Kujitai Empress Kalisiin
I'd reset the Tournament, but we only have me and one player who have done all 15 challenges this time out.</description><pubDate>Sat, 06 Feb 2010 00:27:18 -0600</pubDate></item><item><title>Folks, We Need More People!!</title><link>http://www.kalisiin.com/motd.php#motd20100122232443</link><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.kalisiin.com/motd.php#motd20100122232443</guid><description>By Kujitai Empress Kalisiin
