Turning Point
Naturally a game cannot function without committed members and that is the crux of the problem that has driven things to this cross-roads... Those that have been committed across the board, thank you. Everyone else things happen I get that. It's not one person's fault but a collective thing and mostly mine because I am the mod.
That being said there has been a consensus of sorts reached as where to do we go from here. There is going to be a restart and a redo and just general starting over. It is probably for the best in this situation. Those that have expressed interest in staying are offered to keep their current kids (on the condition they update the application once it is updated) or have first choice in swapping or picking up new characters.
It will probably take a week or more likely two, depending on how coding goes, and in that time the game will be "closed". Though those still staying can feel free to continue playing if they have something to do or play out if they wish but it's not obligated.
However short though, I enjoyed having everyone around and look forward to playing with those choosing to remain.
