[MOD POST] - The current state of things
Okay, so, here's the thing.
This is a Very Important Post and I need everyone to read this.
Snapple has finally caved and admitted that she does not have time for Zen and will not have time for Zen in the near future.
I'm talking to her now about if/when she'll have time in the future, but knowing what I do about her schedule, it won't be until May, at the very least, and I don't want to get my hopes up that she'll actually be able to come back and mod at that point. She is very bad at judging how much she can handle at any given time and it's a flaw she's had as long as I've known her.
The main problem with this, which I've been keeping mum about up to this point, is that she did not leave me a plot outline. I know the general direction in which the game is heading, but not the specifics of how we're getting there. The past 3 months' worth of weekchanges have been whatever she's been able to confer with me on prior to the date. The real reason I extended the current in-game week by two IRL weeks is because I literally ran out of things to do and did not know where to go next.
As I see it, we have three options:
1) Admit defeat and close the game.
2) Hiatus the game until Snapple is able to return and pick up where we left off.
3) Continue the game.
Option 3 is what I'd like to do, but I know for a fact that I can no longer run this game by myself. I have been suffering some massive depression and anxiety over this for the past month, almost two. Spotty activity from everyone and running out of things to do and being promised things that don't get followed through on, it's all just piled up and made me really miserable.
But I've been given permission to cut free and not worry about Snapple's original plan, so what I want to do is bring another mod on board to help me out and figure out what to do on the way to where we're going.
Basically, I want a second plot mod.
I will tell you absolutely everything I know, everything Snapple and I discussed, everything we planned, and I want you to help me figure out how we get there and how to implement it. I can run events just fine, but I have trouble coming up with them, so I need somebody who is good at that to balance me out.
If you'd like to volunteer, let me know by way of e-mail.
If you have any thoughts about what we can do to improve things, leave a comment. I've set comments to be screened by default; if you want them unscreened, say so in the comment.

If you want to do some advertising for us, I wouldn't mind. I actually have some code put together for that that I can give you if you're interested. And word of mouth is the best way to get new players.
Gonna unscreen this because the offer is open to everyone. If you want to advertise, please do, and tell anybody you think would be interested!

The thing is, though, if the players are going to be promoting, then we'd need to keep you as the mod updated if people reply to the promo post with questions and whatnot. We're just the players; we might not be able to answer questions that prospective newbies might have.
(Also, feel free to unscreen this if you want? I don't think anything in this comment is particularly screen-worthy. XD)

I'm just really terrible at advertising so I would rather outsource it to you guys =<a worst mod
