Fellow Orderians,
It has come to my attention that a secondary Discord server has been established by certain members of the Order who have been unhappy with certain things. Our region has existed for over eight years now and I feel as though we've come to take for granted the stability and calm we've enjoyed for so long that certain responsibilities and attentions have become more lax than they should be, hence a meeting between myself and the Orderian Government (and Discord moderation staff) to address concerns and ensure that the Order's Discord is a welcoming and safe place for all Orderians.
I am disappointed that instead of issues being discussed with me, the Vice Chancellor, or Lord Chief Justice actions have been taken which could have been avoided. At this point I am playing catch-up, dealing with issues via second-hand information when it would have been easier to address things when issues were being noticed instead of weeks, or months, later. Any Orderian who has an issue has always been welcome to send me a PM, let me know what issue is being had, and I promise to do my best to sort things so that everyone can continue to enjoy our community.
The answer is not a separate Discord: a divided community will not stand for very long, nor will a community that is incapable of discussing issues and working together to fix them. The Order has one Discord, it is prescribed for by regional law, and the preservation of the Order's digital assets is a responsibility of the Chancellery. Let us all work together to see the Order's Discord community rejoined, rebuild the foundations for problem solving and ensuring harmony, and discuss issues when they occur and not leave regional leadership to fly in the dark, so to say. My efforts thus far regarding this issue are one part of the equation, I will need the help of all Orderians to fully resolve these issues and render the "need" for an unofficial Discord unnecessary.
Thank you all for your time. I look forward to working with you all on these issues and paving the way toward ten years of the Order!
