Amen to that. Let me know if you want me to help out with the Mansion on anything, I'll certainly give whatever you ask me to do my best shot.
I hope next year is a better year, and perhaps the hosts can take some time while we're in the process of transitioning to 2012 to completely double check the connection issues and perhaps run a test server while the clan is down. That way, the hosts can work out any kinks that come up with the server, and have things running smoothly for next year.
I recall that being a major issue this year, there's no denying that, but I must say: I feel so horrible that I didn't participate very much this year. I feel like a waste of space in this clan, and I don't want to leave by any means, I just want to find more ways to participate with the clan and be involved in what we do. I also need to improve my building skills considerably, which will take work, but my goal right now is to move up a rank or two by spring of AoB 2012. Hopefully you all can be at least a little supportive of that.
In other news, all of you AoB folk are more than welcome to drop by my Minecraft server and build something epic, because we really need the awesome architecture right now. The only cool buildings are this bridge I just made, and my house :| so sorry to bring up Minecraft again, but like I said: I need the architectural quality to go up a few levels on the server. Too many small boxes.
