Wanting to second Nate-mun's thoughts, and toss some of my own in. You guys put an incredible amount of work into this game already-- setting up plots and arcs and keeping things balanced with the increasing size and demands of all these casts. But what's really made this game stand out to me is the ways it's reacted to player input.

While I know the trial mechanic was all sorts of ICly messy and didn't work in the long run, it was my hands-down favorite RP experience as far as repercussions went-- not only because of the options it allowed, but because it drew the whole game into things and let everyone who was interested weigh in and be involved. A lot of the recent plot options have had similar aspects-- the research opportunities with the journal, and your openness wrt the Ploiatos plot. I've been in games where NPCs are untouchable and players just get stonewalled trying to push for more, and it feels really rewarding to prod for info or chances to do things, and be given detailed challenges and obstacles instead of an OOC "no".

You guys are awesome, this game is fun, and I'm looking forward to seeing where the crew can go next!

That's really great to hear. We wanted to try doing things a little differently than the way games usually go and have what players have their characters do actually make a difference in what happens and they have. I know sometimes we got off track, especially when it got so big so quickly and we couldn't keep up, but it has always been fun. We really loved the trial mechanic, thought it could be an interesting add on, but when it started to turn into more of a main focus, we knew it wouldn't work. It fought against the premise and while we're a mix-genre game, we didn't want the tone to keep going in that direction. We're glad you had fun with it, and we're sorry that it was so messy.

We've been trying to open up the plot as much as we can and we've always wanted players to be involved if they really want to. It's so much fun for us when we're approached with enthusiastic ideas. Also, we can't wait for the second arc because it's more of that but with a new way to do things.

We're so happy to have you here.
