Support The Forest Unlimited



EFS Membership

Emerald Forest Seattle is committed to bringing you an exceptional environment in which to play and post. We try to stay current with the latest software and upgrades in our game servers and our forums. As we all know this takes Benjamins (Our Favorite President!) that is why we are announcing a plan for the people who wish to support us. This is the preferred method of support because it is re-occurring rather than single large donations. Along with varied levels of support come various special "perks" as follows. Members can always continue to make donations but in order to get the "perks" you must be a subscription member.

    You can either post on the Forums or e-mail ChAoS or Helter Skelter.

    Admin on EFS

    Admins are chosen by the current Staff/Admins on the servers. Being an admin on one server does not guarantee you Admin on another server. In order to be an Admin on EFS servers you must meet these requirements.

    • Generally we will have no more admins than available slots ie: 20 person server = 20 Admins
    • You must be an active member in the forums for at least the last 3 months-Spamming doesn't count
    • You must be considered fair and well liked by the current Staff/Admins and the current Staff/Admins of EFS must approve of your joining the Ranks of admin. This will be done by a majority vote.
    • You must be a supporting member of EFS. I am sure some of you will not like this and we hate lose admins but in order to guarantee a quality environment and keep the server running this is necessary.
    • Elite level Admins will have the privelege of having their own signature sound on the servers.
    • Being a paid supporter of EFS does not guarantee you admin. You cannot buy Admin period.
