SYSTEM FAILURE IMMINENT: PLOTTING TIME

[taxonmods]

Some of you may have heard that there's a SYSTEM FAILURE coming up. We heard that, too. This is why you get a super special post all about it!

Up above somewhere in the Alien HQ, there's going to be a little oopsie-daisy, which is going to lead to a whole mess of trouble. Different things will go down on different days (and we have a bare-bones schedule for you under the cut) with the malfunctions getting more and more serious as time goes on. Each day, from June 25 to July 03, we'll be putting up a post in the IC community detailing exactly what's going on for that day and just how the malfunctions and shut downs are effecting the city. Remember: once this starts, any glitched character will be stuck in their glitch for the duration.

And then, on the seventh day, God rested everyone will be able to escape. The barriers will go down and reveal a network of tunnels leading somewhere we'll tell you about later but we assure you is full of death and destruction. (Side note: if you'd rather not play through the finding of death and destruction, characters are totally allowed to stay put in the city and continue dealing with stuff up there. If you want to not participate in this plot entirely, we totally understand and pause glitches are definitely available for you.) When it gets closer to the time for all that to go down, we'll put up a post with more information.

Finally, on the ninth day, the Aliens will begin repairs. Again, we'll post the details on that closer to when it actually happens.

( SCHEDULE )

We're going to put up three different comment threads for you to tag into so we can pretend we're organized. After we have those threads up, start your own and plot at will!

Work's calmed down to normal levels of insanity, so I'm back and looking forward to the upcoming plot. :)

Hiya Taxon,

I hate to do this, since I have so many good memories of the last year with all of you, but I'm going to bow out. I loved this game, and I'll never forget the good times. It's been a blast, and Shane and I will miss you dearly. Of course, we're doubtlessly gonna still be kickin' about on LJ, so you haven't seen the last of me. >:)

Lots of love,
Ace

Other people are better at saying such things

I've been procrastinating doing this, but now it's just a band-aid that needs to be ripped off.

I had a lot more I wished to do and say in Taxon, but that's not really feasible anymore.  So, instead of me saying anything, I've decided to borrow the words of people much wiser than myself.

O, I drop, Taxon;
The potent poison quite o'er-crows my spirit:
I cannot live to hear the news from anywhere;
But I do prophesy the election lights
On Neu/Gwen: she has my dying voice;
So tell her, with the occurrents, more and less,
Which have solicited.

The rest is silence.

Of course, nothing beats Shakespeare, but, oddly, Ricky Nelson also nicely encapsulates everything.  Between the two of them, they say what I want to far better than I could.
