[font=Book Antiqua]Pulled a Nearly 2 Hours Shift,
Well, Actually, wasn't thinking about going on my Angel, Just made a new Character
and was going to do a /restart when noticed 3 people arguing over System Chat
about Server Rules! So, hopped on my Angel and tried to calm them down.
It took a few minutes to get the System Chat quiet, because after all, Pennsy
goes crazy from time to time!

Seems 2 Pirates had Pirated a Helium Miner who was above 30, and had killed
him when he had refused to Pay. But the Miner was not leaving the System,
So I explained the Rules to him and he decided to leave and come back in
Four Hours.

After that, Someone PMed me and asked about possibility of joining the Wild.
Seems he was kinda disappointed when he realized the faction is Invite-Only.
Meanwhile, someone else PMed me and asked why Corsair Guns on a Navy
Ship is not allowed. I directed him to the Tech Chart, and later answered
his Question about Navy Guard System, and gave him Co-ords to Virginia
Jumhole. Funny is, a person contacted me thinking I'm an Admin!
Well, He was only curios if a certain situation was against the Rules or not,
and I explained it to him and also mention I'm not an Admin.

Later, when I decided to move to New York, helped someone with the /ping
Command on the way, and also answered their other question about Tech
usage and IDs... As usual, just directed them to Tech Chart and Forums.

After that, things went strangely quiet, and after a while I moved to Gamma.
Gamma was just as quiet as NY, so I just spent some time having casual
chatter in Local Chat and joking around with a SCRA in PM.

When I saw nothing was going around the Corsairs Land, I decided to move
to Alpha and see if anyone needs help there. Someone was curios where
can he get a Mini-Razor, so I told him to check Omicron-81 or 85.
And others were busy with their own work... So I had a nice Non-Angel chat
with one of the Ships for a while, and meanwhile answered a PM about
Tech Chart and usage of Bottlenose Gunship with Mercenary ID.

In the end, moved back to Pennsy when I got PM from a new player who
needed help for starting up. I told him about general RP atmosphere of the
Server, and directed him to Forums and reminded him of some Rules as
we moved on. Also, told him about a few commands and helped him get
a Rhino and we started mining Helium. Once he was good to go and
had learned the Basic tricks, I decided to call it a Shift and docked.
