ANNOUNCEMENT: the closing of systemwide.
Good evening, Systemwide.
It's not without great sadness that we are announcing the end of Systemwide. We realise this may come as a surprise for many of you. Only recently, we lessened Activity Check in an attempt to better fit it to the game (which worked well), and before that, we welcomed some fantastic new characters into the fold. We have players who have been here from the beginning, and have been endlessly supportive in giving feedback, participating in events, generating ideas, and helping with recruitment. By no means is this decision an easy one to make.
We feel, as mods, our own ambitions are outweighed by what is achievable in a Dreamwidth format, the size of our playerbase, and the time commitments necessary to see our plot goals through. We have considered other options, such as converting the game into a musebox or putting it to vote, but ultimately, that isn't the format we as mods signed on to oversee, and it's not the format people apped to join, and we do not want to redistribute pressure on to others to keep it alive.
In the end, we are opting for a clean break, and do not wish to prolong that conclusion. Apps/reserves are closed, and we will no longer be GMing or NPCing. If anyone desires to finish out their own threads or create new ones for closure, then that is of course fine, we won't be locking down the communities for some time.
We're sorry it could not continue on longer. It's been a great experience, and you've all been entirely wonderful. Thank you, so much, for your time and creativity.
Samm and China, Systemwide mods.
