Well, as I sit here pondering what is coming up I think I have to acknowledge that I feel as though player investment has dropped below the level necessary for me to feel the motivation to spend hours processing turns anymore.<br/><br/>I think therefore, rather than continue to have to pester and poke at every deadline, I will admit to myself that it is time to shut down.<br/><br/>I do want to thank everyone for playing. I hope you had some fun along the way. I know I did. :)<br/><br/>If people want to talk about game mechanics and such now please do feel free. I don't know if I'll run anything similar again, but if I do hopefully it will go better and your input can certainly help.
