This is going to sound harsh, but… No, you don’t “deserve” to. You either can actively participate or you can’t. If you can’t, for whatever reason, then that’s all there is to it. Be here or don’t be here. If your life is too busy for NS, that’s perfectly fine and normal. This is a game. But our rules don’t need to bend over backwards and cater to people who can’t play the game.

You’re plenty active on Discord, by the way.

After playing NS for almost 15 years, and TSP specifically for the last decade, I know that people love to vote on things, but don’t care to do the work to participate beyond that. We need to do better. It’s that kind of stuff that led to us calling the GC in the first place. A quarter of “participants” didn’t even do the bare minimum of voting. They’re not participating, so they’re giving up their seat at the game table.
