It's okay! I am good at Mathematics, Science and Games! I think my English is still okay but I haven't learned so much especially many difficult words and other Languages are bad! By the way, I tried to use English Language that I hope the players will understand! 😊
I see some players have accepted my answer on Diamond Diaries Community (other players are inactive to see my answers). I am also happy to to help players completed. 😊
By the way, thanks for your kind reply! 😊

Hi @Diamond Lim , 😀 when I first came to the community forum you were the first to send me Congrats on my first badge I received. I remember that to this day. On other badges I received you still did the same.
I wanted to learn so I could help players like you do so I started watching how you answer player's questions and how you run games here.
I still read to learn from you. 🤗
You are one of the quickest girls in the community to help and support players! 😊 🌿

Thanks Elsa for creating this post and for all your amazing help so far in trying to help me recruit players!
@Tzvi_Marcu here at King are very much concerned about making the games more accessible to all our players. We are working on a special project to understand more about the challenges faced by people who have disabilities and want to play the games.
Else is helping us find players who experience any type of disability that is either preventing them from playing or causing them to adapt their game play.
If you know of anyone please let Elsa know :)

Hello my dear friend @Elsa You already know this but I will share it with everyone else. I am diagnosed with epilepsy. Although it's not that severe and I didn't have the seizures for a year I still find myself struggling with flashy images. For example, those present boxes in Friends Saga. I am also aware that King is working on helping players with disabilities and I am grateful for it 🙏🏻 Love you all 🤗❤️

@Elsa Great topic❣
I don't have any disabilities myself but 2 of my family members did.
@firebombmarkus glad to hear that you recovered from your epilepsy. My daughter was diagnosed with petite mall epilepsy when she was in the second grade. She was having trouble learning. It turned out that she was having seizures about every 5 minutes without being aware of it. The scary part as her mother was watching her brainwaves react to flashing light when they would test her using an EEG(brain test). Every brain wave was completely scrambled.
She was put on medication which controlled the seizures but permanently damaged her long term memory. When she started school every year, she didn't remember what she had learned from the year before. She had to work harder than anyone getting a PhD just to get her high school diploma.
Luckily, because she never had a grand mall seizure, she grew out of it and is epilepsy free today. Her memory is still damaged but she made it through college and is doing well in her career in environmental sciences.
I lived in fear of all flashing lights for 20 years! Any of that could have seriously injured her for life!
@Diamond Lim I understand learning disabilities from a mom's perspective. Just know how proud we are of your hard earned accomplishments❣❣❣ It takes an unbelievable amount of diligence to overcome them. You are amazing ❣❣❣
@ShannaSkywolf I'm so happy that surgery was able to restore some of your sight. What a blessing❣ My mom suffered from vision and hearing problems after having severe polio as a child. She was about 4 years old. She was in an iron lung. She wasn't supposed to survive but she did. She always had super thick glasses to see but had cataract surgery when she was in her late 70's. It completely corrected her eyesight. She never needed glasses again not even to read. That was actually completely overwhelming for her but not in a good way. I think it was sensory overload. She had never seen so clearly. She adjusted within a few months. Really life changing.
After recovering from the polio, she fell off a slide and broke her right arm when she was 6 years old. She was righthanded. Shouldn't have been a big deal but the doctor put the cast on too tight. It cut off the blood circulation and killed all the muscles and nerves. This was just before World War 2. She lost use of her arm. All she had was bone covered with flesh. They almost amputated it but luckily decided not to. Her arm was paralyzed from just below the shoulder. They put a pin in the elbow. This allowed her to have some use of it.
You can imagine that people were very cruel to her. She found ways around everything. As her child, this was normal. I would come to learn how amazing she was over time. She graduated from college and eventually got her master's. She 3 children, 20 months apart. My brother was born in 1958. I'm the middle with a younger sister. No velcro. No Pampers. How she even changed our diapers is a mystery to me. She was an only child so didn't have any help. She sewed most of our clothes, was a gourmet cook, could knit an Irish fisherman's sweater in a few days while working fulltime. I could go on and on about all of her talents. She rarely complained except a handful of times when she got really frustrated with something.
Her mom's favorite quote was "you've got to bend with the bamboo". I think I can finally understand why.
Sorry for the mini novel.
People that overcome disabilities are amazing ❣❣❣ Those of us that don't experience these should count our blessings everyday ❣❣❣
