Heya, happy nearly-Ghoultober! Quick note, as you enjoy the Senate session: we'll be extending the submission deadline for threads turn-ins (politicians & gladiators alike) to Oct. 2.
Separately, just wanted to quickly check in ahead of the regular Oct. 1 AC & admin post that'll have more calendar dates. As you know, Eastbound was slated for a two-three-year lifespan, and the end of that range is coming in fairly soon in March.
Doing the math: the Ephes Arc is scheduled to have roughly three events, and it'll be followed by a single or two-part event travel arc and a two-three-event final arc. The exact timeline is a little harder to estimate, since we have to adjust to the pace of clue discovery, and there are the winter holidays to consider — but on a preliminary basis, we're looking at a bit over four more months to go from October. That would imply a roughly January/possibly early February wrap, give or take.
What this means concretely:
- Immediate effect: ...not much!
Plot & mystery development: some 85% of all outstanding plot questions are set to be resolved in the Ephes Arc — you can carry on investigating the local mysteries & knocking at the door of the NPC inbox as usual, to get those answers — everyone welcome!
Applications: we'll have a final test drive meme next week and a regular application round in October. A last application round will take place later, without a TDM.
Activity requirements: remain unchanged throughout. Not one to worry about until we enter endgame with the final Arc, but, on this side, the recommendation would be to give honest thought if you can be available when things should be pretty action-packed. The plan is to go out as we have unlived, with a bang.
Thanks, guys!

Let's just say you'll need aerial support.

You like creating suspense, don't you.

Okay so time for everyone in my timeline to pretend I didn't make the emotional announcement I made in plurk (and for those who'd still like to add me there for more shenanigans there — please do so @ moonstones !)
I love this game and the people in it so much, and it's worth seeing it through to the end.

Thanks so much for everything you do, and my apologies for the questions I'm going to drop on you tonight.

No apologies needed, go to town with the questions!

And oh man. I knew that we were hitting that direction and I'm glad to have been part of the ever-lasting fun. I have enjoyed everything the game has had to offer. So I look forward to what we have left.
