Off the Island

Hey gang, I am coming to you all with mixed feelings and bad news. I know that earlier this month I insisted that the game is going to be here to stay, and believe me I would like nothing more than for it to continue in its former glory. However, things in the game have changed, and I believe most all of us have felt it. I have tried to give events and encourage plotting and interaction, but it just does not seem to be working.

This game has been truly incredible and the last thing I want is to see it slowly and painfully deflate. I recognize this and while I have tried to counter it, it is obviously not working. I feel it is time to face facts and acknowledge that we've had a truly incredible run and that we should end the game with a bang.

And you all know me. When I say "bang," I mean it quite literally.

That said, I apologize to those who have been consistently and enthusiastically playing, I love you all and I wish I had the know-how to give you the game you deserve. I also realize that there are story lines which are incomplete and I do not intend to screw you all over. I'm blowing the island up shutting the game down just yet, I plan to keep it going for a week or two to allow you all to close off any lines you have, do any of those 'someday' dream scenes you've been talking about, etc. So I am asking, how long do you all want this to be? A week? Two weeks?

After that I will launch a big dramatic event that you all will be encouraged to participate in. What does your character do when it all goes to hell? Time to find out. There is, of course, no way to demand you participate in this, but it should be fun either way.

Thank you all again for all your inputs to the game. I have genuinely enjoyed playing in and running this game, it is one I will forever remember and talk about.

Sincerely,
Mod!David
