After thinking things over...

I'm done. It's been too hard scrabbling things together this last while and with us down to two mods, I just really can't do it. Even the process of trying to train up another mod is a bit too much for me.

And I've realized that at this point, events at Trans and how the players treated each other over the years has pretty much entirely put me off DWRP to the point that even though I don't regret some of it since I met a lot of nice people and people had fun, for the most part, I do regret creating the game and putting so much work into it, and feel like I would have been better off putting my time and energy into things I found more fulfilling. Everything that led up to the breakdown and current state of the game had to do with people being just awful to each other and the general atmosphere of RP being toxic under the surface and that is just not my bag and a bad place for me to be in, so I don't want to play in formal games anymore and just want to musebox with friends and gradually leave the RP sphere.

Sorry guys. Either Shae will find another few mods to do the possible plan or she'll release the game info for museboxing and shut down. Whatever you guys wind up having happening, I hope you have fun with it. I'd say keep in touch, but I don't really want to have anyone on my plurk other than close friends at this point.

Good luck and thanks for all the fish.

So, over the last few days, I've been hearing various reports about mods and players starting to drop like flies for one reason or another, with one of the guys saying that this game is dying.

Others are having trouble moving along with plots and the like, and, though I've only given the post about it a quick glimpse, I've heard the game is about to undergo a massive overhaul.

I'm staying with this for the long-run one way or another, but I have a little proposition for you guys.

It is reluctantly, especially considering that this is one already, that I propose that Trans 9 undergoes... a reboot.

It was just an on the moment thing, and I'm willing to explain better, so please tell me what you think.

Everyone's dropping out now so a big DROP NOTICE is kinda moot at this point, but I just wanted to say that if anyone ever wanted to add me on plurk and never got around to it but still want to keep in touch, or you just met me and this is crazy etc etc and wanted to, I'm still around at zitasaurusrex.

And if you had me added purely for game reasons and would like to remove me, it is totally fine. I don't really intend to thin my list down at this moment because I am lazy so... yeah.

I'll also always be around for wasting time on AIM. :)

I had a lot of fun with all of you through the thick and thin, and if you ever want to musebox or somesuch just drop me a line.

Happy trails!

I started reading Trans-9 earlier this year. I fell in love with the story of characters we love realizing that not only are they cut-off from their worlds, but dealing with the fact that they are all that remains.

Their struggle to, at best, restore what they lost, and at worst, avenge what they lost, was something that consumed many hours of internet binging, it introduced me to concepts and series I had never even considered or gave second thoughts. I also loved the mission structure, and saw that it had untapped potential.

And now, right after the shackles of the Daligig have been thrown off, right as things start to pick up into epic levels... it all just ends?

No.

NO.

I only started getting involved with RPs a few months back, but, if one were to become a mod, what would it require?

Because if Trans9 really starts closing down, then let it go out in a blaze of glory - rather than fade to nothing.

With the game closing, I'm gonna have to bow out and likely won't be back for museboxing due to difficulty of getting Crematia's voice steady. But if anyone wants to resolve any threads/logs, give me a heads up and we can back tag, but it will be slow on my part.

I'm still available on plurk @ devimelete

It's dead, Jim. Without the modpower, there's really no way of continuing.

The Game Bible is located here as a zip download if anyone wants it for private museboxing or just for their own curiosity. It will be put up on DW pages as well in case anyone ever has trouble with mediafire, and linked. That will take a bit of time, though.

There's an informal musebox at stacypwns for people to play out any plots or even endgame if they want.

Trans 9 is now officially closed. Backthreads can continue if you want to tidy up any loose ends, but no new posts can be made.

Good luck wherever you all go next. If you'd like to use this as a friending meme to keep in touch with other players, you may.
